wonder if anybody else this morning heard Jimmy Rogers say that the
government's numbers don't correspond to what industry reports..ie restaurant industry..a lot are reporting increases..the government
isn't..Rogers asked who should know?
Then somebody else on the show countered with other things being lower..computers etc..(not too true since people buy with more bells
and whistles..and anyways people don't buy themselves new computers
every few weeks..but they might go out to eat..use the telephone..
etc more often :>
wonder if gold will hit 275 and the dow 10,000 before a reversal of
fortunes.?(notice with all the jewelry ads..no reflection that gold
is dirt cheap)

Jim: If the falling of global markets, currency devaluations, wage and price increases non-existent and governments world-wide cutting back; If these aren't strong indications of deflation, what is? So....The price of gold should go up. According to the theory that gold does best in deflation, we should be at all time highs.

This theory is being tested now, so all we can do is observe.

<<Gold rallied after the initial '29 crash and gold stocks soon followed. U.S.>>. Gold was fixed by the US government during the 29 depression and wasn't allowed to float until much later - don't have the exact dates in front of me. You are correct that some gold stocks did remarkably well - gainig 500% in 5 years or so.
