seeker, imo, it is difficult to beat gold's consistency, impossible to short its tenacity, unlikely to outshine its cerebral brilliance, and hardly able to wager as much on anything else other than gold

it is just so very nice, terrible days after horrible nights

and what volatility there is, is always welcomed, so as to engage with more sincerely

happy new year, tj

The FED has been printing money, but has slowed down. Many loans are being paid down, and this destroys money. This can balance out much of the FED money creation, especially if there is low velocity of money, and low multiplier effects. There may be a second stimulus package this spring, and the FED may step on the gas again if the economy is still soggy.

sorry but you are missing the point if you would READ what I wrote you would understand that the USD is a small part of the indexes invested - most stock exchanges are in OHTER currencies As related to the Tel Aviv index which appreciated over 100% also the ISL appreciated 10% v the USD and if you are interested in the BOVESPA the results are much better and so on .... unfortunate narrow minded single asset investments did not perform as well Gold is a asset class which is worth holding but only as a small part of your portfolio same like other assets

remove monetary stimulus in timely fashion. Eurozone already falling. Euro zone money supply falls Posted 12/30/2009 07:34 PM ET Nov.'s surprise 0.2% drop in M3 money vs. a year ago was the first decline since records began in '91, the European Central Bank said. The decline in M3, a broad gauge of cash in circulation, came despite massive ECB lending to banks and indicated that inflation poses no immediate threat. Loans to households and firms fell for a 3rd straight month. Bernake will start drying up the USD liquidity. USD goes up. Else inflation.
