THE ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION OF HIS FAILED LEGACY !!! the entire world will soon be frantic to seek out safe and profitable asset classes for a while Treasurys and EuroBonds will work but when the USdollar continues to sell off (this autumn) but when the imported price inflation escalates (Weldon mentions) but when commodity prices continue up (in progress) but when trust in America seriously erodes (in progress) the USTBond will begin to suffer gonna take a little while to unfold THEN GOLD TAKES CENTER STAGE (not yet) / jim
