my takeaway from Puplava rich set of wisdom nuggets: "The real question is trying to find where those icebergs exist in a sea of heavy fog. My guess is that they reside underneath the surface in derivatives or on the geopolitical side." ScootFace, every 2-3 months after a rachet down in interest rates, the entire debt-based system gears itself to that level in such a way as to extract some capital from the indebted structures I think we will see eventually some unwanted nasty side effects which will be uncontrollable and inevitable like imported price inflation from Japan or like higher energy prices which might tend to lock versus the rising euro, and not the falling dollar then we have some ugly derivative events, small at first, then larger, as the entire system becomes a tangled mess anyone who expects all to sort out peacefully is living in a pure fantasy world my best guess is the longbond becomes too difficult for the Fed to control foreigners will lose their appetite for our debt issues / jim

heck, I dunno how high this can go the Fed has now just about assured that depression will be averted but that only means ugly inflationary recession awaits (stagflation) what is happening with real estate and stocks and bond market will have almost zero bearing on the real economy that is a very tough conclusion to maintain and defend among the illiterata remember: 90% of all economic analysis and forecast is utter bullshit right now the real economy is being sucked dry by the phoney financially engineered nonsense going on out there we could approach 10,000 Dow perhaps the Fed could pump the Dow considerably from here but you know? it in no way dissuades me from the gold bull story not one bit in fact, it reinforces a much larger gold bull imagine all the mortgage bonds and treasury bonds and real estate equity whose vast (and now filling) capital pools will be diverted to gold in metals and miner stocks the more that stocks are pumped up, the more that will find gold the more that bonds are pumped up, the more that will find gold it will all come back home to gold, my good man / jim
