Not about to make the switch from gold, as it will outperform stocks for the next 5 years by a wide margin. I do believe we may see a bull in stocks, in dollars. Gold will meet the DOW in 5 digits (or more, if things get bad). Gold is just at risk this Spring. Then load da boat big time in the Summer if it does go down. Inflationary bull market in stocks, too inflationary for the ride. It will DROP in real terms. I can't make long term projections, but my guess is 16K - ish for both DOW and gold in 5 year time frame. Then it will be time to switch. -g-

The Fed made clear they will print as much as needed to turn employment and housing. Stimulus (printing, really) will keep piling and will turn the markets, while employment will also turn, but at a later time. At that time the Fed will start draining, but it will be too late. BWDIK? Unfortunately, inflation may also run completely out of control (USD -> 0), even though, optimistically, I hope not. As we see now, the current employment situation is absolutely unacceptable politically. The only way to turn it is to print.
