Nice diversification.. But agree.. we gotta figure out if deflation or inflation is what's in store for us. Seems like, atm, deflation is still more pernicious than inflation, which is why I don't understand gold either. Certainly when the deflation bottoms out, commodities, including gold, will be a good place to be. But debt destruction and loss of economic transactional velocity is deflationary. I just can't help but remain convinced that consumer demand and mitigating unemployment is the key to any recovery. But that goes along with my belief that economic and financial systems are meant to serve mankind's progress, not the other way around. People are our best investment and when the intellectual and educational foundation of our society is undermined, it's difficult to maintain a sound economy. EDIT: Rome did not fall in a day Nor was it built in a day.. ;0) Hawk
