investing in gold is investing in the chinese economy, along with betting against the democrats and republicans, as well as putting faith in bernanke and counting on the japanese. it is one neat and all-purpose trade, has done quite well, rightfully so, and fun to boot.

hello hamoon, regarding this non-civil war Message 23058437 that you prefer to see, do you figure that stratfor is correct, in that the initiative has been lost to the bad guys, and ... it was all paid for by the good fellows? what happens in wars when initiative is lost? what would be a plausible back stop to full debacle? ... go long, big, or now? i do not recommend going now, for that would be bad for confidence, and the business of empire is confidence. i cannot recommend going long, because it never pays when expected. i am not sure about going big, because it may lead to going now, big, but later, or going long, then going the then now, but big and later. what is one to do? to reach for the natural conclusion of a poorly conceived idea not quite measuring up to strategy, pay for it with money one does not have, hock the nation, and hope for the best? can the democrats really do better? if one were to lock the door and force a recommendation from me, i would choose going big, and hope for the best, on someone else's turf, in the dark, and face down the various factions, all moving against me, even when they are working for me. as far as i am concerned, we are simply watching a replay of the british, french, turkish, and russian misadventures, and they all ended the same exact way, more or less recommendation: buy gold and load up on silver, for mor GUDD and SUDD days are coming this way
