One of the main criticisms of the Right is that they have nothing new to offer. This thread is an illustration of that.


It also stands as an illustration of hypersensitive, easily-offended, ideological hotheads not taking the time to read something carefully or to stop and ask questions before firing. Suggest you stay with crying wolf re: the dangerous insurgent Glenn Beck, or better yet: go back to your side's now very hypocritical antiBush hysterics. Makes no difference to me.

And oh yeah: I rest my case.

O'bama is America's Mugabe. He cares little what happens to the economy as long as he can forward his political agenda.
Being the beneficiary of affirmative action his whole life, he knows nothing
of competition, or what goes into creating and maintaining a small business.
It's over in the short term in the U.S. Hyperinflation is coming.

Ludwig Von Mises I presume? Short term the flock to quality (i.e. physical Gold and Platinum) is waning. I understand what you are are saying as the "opposite." I agree that everything is deflating based on the gov't reports but this has nothing to do with 12-48 month outlook. The U.S. Treasury is broke. Asian nations are not as willing as before to buy anything issued by treasury. What does that mean? U.S. greenback Printing presses. Do what ever you want . Buying bullion gold coins may not hurt you as much as doing nothing.

gold can be a sound investment. it is a commodity, so its prices is related to mining stocks and their preformance as well as international issues. Clearly South African politics must be taken into consideration.
-but the whole 'the end is nigh, buy gold coins' is a little bit bizarre I think.

The trend, even into the long run (decade) is towards deflation. The extent to which organizations were leveraged was seriously under reported. The Fed could pump in trillions and trillions and we'd still have deflation. The hole is gigantic.

It pays no dividend and only appreciates in the sense that the fiat currency it is being priced in depreciates. Gold shouldn't be thought of as an investment, but an "in case shit" hedge.

Anyways, you all have the inflation argument wrong. We've been using the wrong ideas to understand the monetary economy for a long while.
