it's unfortunate that the growth was driven by an infusion of spending by the government for the past year. no matter who gets elected, that's likely to be reversed in the next two years at least.

I'm buying some pre-2004 gold eagles, should do well when the dollar tanks. Easier than trying to pick the winning foreign paper currency.

Plus, a plastic tube of 20 of them makes an excellent paperweight. (home address not disclosed :)).

You have some valid points, '70s girl.

The last time the markets were this kind to borrowers -- and this cruel to savers -- was the 1970s. The period was followed by the annihilation of the thrift industry and a real estate bust that took more than a decade to clean up.
