Sounds as plausible as anybody else's theories. My 2 cents FWIW -- 1. The election is still over a year away 2. I would not be crowning Hillary quite yet 3. I question why someone like Rubin would return to a political post, BWTFDIK 4. I don't grasp why people seem to believe only the Dems have fiscally competent people up their sleeve here who can save the day -- they're picking from the same talent pool 5. The Iraq War may officially end, but US involvement in the area (and the associated costs) may not end as hoped 6. A US budget improvement may not happen as you expect if e.g. the Dems decide on a massive housing bailout (i.e. of the people, not the banks) 7. In addition to #6, the Dems say they want to roll back GWB's tax cuts -- IMO the economy's reaction to that could go either way 8. Re: USD and gold, talk to me about how #5, #6 & #7 turn out first My father used to liken playing the market to driving a car at night -- even on high beam, you can only see so far ahead. While it's fun to prognosticate with these things especially where politics is involved, in the current environment I can't even predict what should happen next week, let alone next year
