Hi- what are the reasons you give for this incredible bull market.. do you think this is a brand new era and history doesn't repeat itself.. aren't you a bit premature on the success of the euro..did you see somebody's post where some of the basic necessities in life denominated in the euro vary greatly among countries.. can you imagine the implications if many flock to the euro and leave the dollar.. you really think the Asian meltdown won't affect the world economies? hope you post more..don't worry..a lot of us here think the Dow will hit 10,000 before this over..

Serge: welcome to the thread. I've been waiting for someone with a contrary view to the mainstream posters to enter the discussion. It can only enrich the exchange of ideas.

Re: gold bugs - interested in hearing from you why the success (or otherwise) of the Euro. would be disappointing to gold bugs. I haven't seen much in this thread to suggest that people were thinking that the Euro might tank,, and that this would be good for gold. Also the Asian currency problems have not been widely perceived as being potentially good for gold - the opposite in fact because the cost of gold in local currencies has gone up. I like to think of it in terms of the odds. Odds of gold, and gold stocks going up, and the Dow going DOWN are both good. One seems as certain as the other. Ah, yes, but when? - there's the rub -as always! See that you post on juniour gold stock forums - are you agin them too?

Serge, welcome. The first amendment should always rule. "I disagree with everything you say, but will defend, to the death, your right to say it". But, are you willing to bet Every Last Cent you hold we will be forever wrong? Are you likewise sure no precious metal miner will ever again return a profit? Is "now" for ever? If most people in this market are actually in it for the long run, should they not also hold a small % in something metal related? Will at some point the growing population of India pick up all remaining supplies? When my wife shows that new bear fetish to your girl friend....? Lastly, I bought a coffee filter. 22k gold mesh in a plastic bucket. Said to last 25 years. better taste than bleached - or unbleached paper - break even is only 2 years. richard

Serge: People said the same negative things about stocks and bonds in 1980. Of course, gold, gold mining stocks, oil, energy companies, real estate, etc. were the rage back then. It was a "new era" during which hard assets would rule forever. Now, 18 years later, financial assets are the rage even though they offer ridiculously low earnings and dividends. (But who needs those when some greater fool will come along and give me 20+% capital gains per year ad infinitum?) I, for one, think that there are long investment cycles during which asset classes rise and fall, and yesterday's loser becomes tomorrow's winner. Lightning
