Oil at 73. gold at 625. Yawn. The only collapse will be the people trying to get rich quick. High oil prices will only spur the development of alternative energy and therefore western industry. High gold prices are just entertainment, unless a new use (efficiency and productivity raising) for it is found.

I am nervous and upset (and pissed) by either total moronic know-it-all stupidity (compounded by deception and aggression -- (standard operating procedure)) at highest levels of this administration which could lead to currency collapse or certainly degradation... check last two or three trading days against US$... all the warning signs are there and have been for approx 4 years. Or do you think they are doing this on purpose to equalize wage rates of US and China j6p so off shoring problem is fixed? If this is the case there is a LONG way to go. So is it moronic stupidity or just screwing the middle class or both? And don't forget tax cuts during a war. Heard again b*sh request to make them permanent again on CNBC... as if thats our problem. Yup. Tax cuts, whatever the problem, that will solve it. I have taken precautions, but none of this should really be necessary. Nothing like qualified leadership. In the meantime, metals, foreign currencies, canadian oil trusts... Any more ideas?

Hyperinflation and falling home prices and lower wages. Care to put those in a believable bundle for me? Mish

I think you're right. Gold is making a powerful statement that the dollar is dead.
