My expectations are in the thread head, I just hope they unfold slowly, which may not be possible due to an enormous bubble in derivatives. Stocks can rally a long time on short covering, and so did the horsemen - we've seen that in 1999 a lot. It's very hard to predict the exact moment of the pop or Chinese bubble pop, although the early November NYSE rule change should have been a clue. I haven't been long the stock market, except for occasional ST calls plays, including calls on GOOG, which was surging on short covering. -g- I definitely would not invest in stocks. Hey, I like GOOG - made me some money back in October -g- Coming back to the buck, I can't see even an interim bull market there, just a bear market bounce. Others see deflation, which I don't see either. I can't see US treasuries as a good investment either (deflationists would point that out). As far as gold goes, I expect it to go much higher over time, but hopefully we'll get a dip on this IMF announcement to convert more useless fiat into PMs. I don't know how much of a dip. My personal investment (not ST speculations) is mostly physical gold and silver.
