Ouch... He's all doom. My inflationary boom could turn into a loss of a few zeroes for the dollar. Funny it does not smell that way at all now. Dow meeting gold at 16K could be optimistic. FWIW, dollar chart in gold hits zero in 2011. US Inflation Could Hit 200%: Dr. Doom cnbc.com The US risks being hit by Zimbabwe-style hyperinflation and there are signs that the world's biggest economy risks turning into a banana republic, Marc Faber, author of the Gloom, Doom & Boom report, told CNBC's "Asia Squawk Box."

The rise of miners from 35 when this bull just started was a lot faster. I don't think we'll see that again, except in some marginal producers. We may see speedy rise of other sectors, such as emerging markets, homebuilders, autos and financials, if and when the financial crisis ends. But the latter is IMHO. Quite a few financials will go BK, so playing indexes is a better idea. Whole Detroit may go BK. These are not bearish thoughts, and assume the Armageddon does not happen. If it doesn't, there are a lot of crashed sectors to play. -g-
