Carranza2, I share your lines of thoughts, going everywhere, and at the core, where all lines converge, at the singularity, that "all is not well". Basically we need to and must, as it is our spoken imperative, put our names on stuff, before everybody else on the planet wises up and choose to put their names on stuff. Hyperinflation will at some juncture make people hypernervous,and hyperreflexivity will make them hyperover-reach, to hyperacquire what we have accumulated in preparation for the dark interregnum that is K-winter, hyperexpensive, and sell us their summer palaces, hypercheap :0) Not only and just summer palaces. I am hoping that, as credit gets prohibitively expensive, very expensive, or very extremely expensive, they will unload their cash generating but highly leveraged income producing properties, good quality equities of companies selling necessary stuff, fun cars, lovely boats, caring mistresses, and worthwhile coin collections, ridiculously cheap. This is, afterall, how history is supposed to work. I think, ideally, we end up buying oriental art from bankrupt Shanghai real estate folks, and place them in ex-Kyoto garden house acquired from bankrupt Tokyo forex speculator, transplanted on to cliffside land acquired from belly-up Carmel J6P. Yeah, you know the one I am talking about. Like I had mentioned, ideally. But of course, expensive credit will at some stage do serious damage to the stuff we might still be holding. I will take that chance, since I believe the hyperinflation is in fact already baked-in. As to Dow Theory, I think it is worth considering. For I know that during final exam week, there are no atheists. Also, should Mr Russell's Third Wave come to crest, I think our stuff will do equally well or better, for it would be the same imperatives that power the Third Wave as they power our stuff. I am counting on Ben Helicopter Bernanke, for he promised, "Deflation will not happen". Chugs, TJ

<keep me from violating Rule Number One of investing: "Don't lose money." I think this Golden Rule will be violated severely by many otherwise wise people in the very near future.> with so much taking place below the surface for the average retail investor/trader like me - I'm increasing positions in physical and solid gold producers. This will protect me from my own personal follies and inept trades. Constantly ask myself - what if I'm wrong? Figured it out - worst case, in ten years I have Xxxx physical (lunch money compared to TJ). For me, just to survive the next 10 years - mostly intake - with the destruction of the dollar/ real estate/ stocks/ retirement accounts..... will be a win. Too old to start over.
