Y2k From what i have read foreign countries will have larger problems my own personal feeling it is highly unlikely everyone is going to run to the banks to pull out money it wouldn't be a very sharp move. Might be much delay in processing but some smart attourney will come up with suit against the Fed or State on interest due . Might not be y2k that implodes this economy but the result of the suits that could be had. If someone is an attourney please comment would a suit be legal or not.

If one looks at this y2k as world doom i think one is going to far .. Because if it is doom we are all going to go manual for a bit and that can be done. Rather like an earth quake you make do you have no choice.

Just what in blazes would someone do with 10 million in their pocket hire body guards?

Sixty percent of the populous doesn't even think stock market but credit cards and no savings. Might be a blessing to them if all collapsed. So the average Joe's thoughts in my opinion are not applicable here.

All the above with the exclusion that currency is in my mind is the new cold world war. Political juggernaut could be nuclear war mind games.

I would watch the US dollar. Play derivatives if i were you then China and Asia and yes gold. If some miracle doesn't pull up Asia before y2k pulls down Asia = to print we will have to go. That will just increase our balance sheet. In my mind the IMF bailout may end up being the biggest blunder in history.
. I am very confused at present searching for answers and finding taxes being reduced on exports in Australia. Pose your questions to him Please

ahhaha find him at subject At a bottom now for gold? I trust his judgement.

Would appreciate your response to my recent posts......So, what's wrong with this argument?

Nothing, your argument sounds very logical. I think that we do not always think of investors as human beings, and stock markets as being governed by the emotions of those human beings. These human beings change their emotions with external factors such as fear and expectation. A behavioural look at stock markets is, in my opinion, one of the most accurate ways of predicting future market conditions. Really, if you think of the stock market as a "cause and effect" relationship, chart analysis illustrates the "effect" of investor trading, and does not delve into the "cause" of that trading pattern. As in any example, the "cause" is the most important factor that affects the future, and that helps you understand what the "effect" will be.

Although I think gold analysis is a reasonable tool to use, things don't always change gradually. At any moment a number of factors could almost instantly affect the chart. I agree that the price of gold will surprise a lot of people within the year.

sbic,
Just sticking my nose in. Wanted to know, If you are allowed to hold a little physical gold/silver bullion as a "cash" holding? Would such a move mark you as daft and cost you the job?
I would think it could be a valid play, as protection in case(when? IMHO) the US$ tanks.
