Hello MD,

Thanks. Great information. I've borrowed a slide or two for a presentation I have to make next month.

Why would gold do well in this environment? When our foreign buddies realize that our uberconsumer is not doing his job, they are going to be a lot less interested in funding our debt, aka vendor financing. Rates will go up, but that won't be enough to meet all the debt service requirements. Adding insult will be a sharp reduction in state and federal tax revenue. So, someone will have to print. And gold will like that, a lot.

Printing is coming. Many don't believe it yet, but they will.

not convinced gold does well in that environment

Gold could get cut in half and miners would still be grossly undervalued.

One interesting chart covers something I had been discussing the other day. Sq ft per person in America is insane. I can't tell you how many people I know of living in 1 or 2 person 3000+ sq ft home. Incredible amount of waste in this country.
