I would expect that any of the three radical Buiter proposals would send gold, silver, copper and others to the stratosphere, and maybe gold in orbit.

We would see 3000 an ounce with in days, and maybe 10,000 by the end of 30 days.

The premium on the physical would be over 5%, maybe over 15%.

Having gold would be like having life jackets and boats on the Titanic - you would be very popular, but it might not be good for your health.

There would also be a huge rush to Canadian dollars, it might force Canada to either follow or print like crazy to keep the currency down. Which Canada could do, and buy up all the Canadian federal, provincial, and municipal debt, and some of the debt issues of major Canadian companies, like Quebec Hydro, Sun Life, Scotia Bank, etc.

i recommend this read fofoa.blogspot.com

and i wrote early am re the batch of china-bashing rubbish from geithner, krugman and their ilk, and re japan complaining of china buying japanese debt (to which i say, if you do not wish to have china buy your debt, then do not issue any"

i quote myself ...

"so tee-ed up, the japanese must redouble their effort to buy usa debt and be the bag-man
also buy more chinese goods with the yen
and wait for usa default
7-15 years
then done

recommendation: getmuchmoregold, it should be a winning wager should japan and usa continue to play hyper-inflation ball, and
ought to be a winning trade should usa and japan decide rmb is not cricket and opt for diaper deflation right now as opposed to china deciding for them in 7-15 years time, and

so getmuchmoregold may be a win-win-again stance.

usa congress has the unique opportunity to opt for continuing hyper or immediate diaper

may they choose wisely.

amen"
