Pretty much. I still think it will be the dollar that suffers from the Greenspan era Fed interventionism. The dollar collapse (yes, I think it will be a collapse when it starts, because 1/2 reduced foreign purchases caused a 6% drop in 1 month) will cause higher rates, which will kill the economy that depends on low rates. Ultimately I don't know the outcome, but I think even the treasury bonds will be unsafe, and could be defaulted upon. I'm in ST bills now, but I think I'll quit buying (I have to roll over every 4 weeks) when the smell starts to get rotten. Don't smell it yet -g- Actually, I'm not sure what to do, since I think 4 week t-bills are safer than keeping the cash in the bank! Physical gold is the only thing that's safer than the treasuries. I think it's time to buy gold again, from now into late July. If it declines, consider your purchases subsidized by the government -g-
