The dollar is not rising. The dollar is falling, its just falling slower than the other currencies now. If the dollar was rising,surely gold would've gone down today, but it shot up. We are about $20 or so from a new record high in gold. Every country in the world is going to crash. Last...

Japans stock market is already getting hosed right out of the gate and not gaining any ground in the last 90 min. Down about 400 points already.

Just let the computers go crazy for 10 minutes with their automated trades, drop the dow 1,000 points, and get everyone to start buying treasuries.

Looks like that ratio went even lower today. Now we are down to about an 8.7 to 1 gold to dow ratio (from a low of 8.29 to 1)

E 1 billion is nothing. We wipe our collective US asses with that everyday. :P

I found him! Here is the guy who pushed the button.

Hehehe...I was in nothing but gold & silver. I saw no spike, just upward momentum. Got a +$30 gain in gold. Not too bad. :)

No...that was just me liquidating my stocks and buying gold. Sorry, I accidently did a market order when liquidating.

You mean a higher degree of "Evidence" :)

As usual...the whole point of the story was missed. So I want to break it down more simple. 99% of the world thinks the word "evidence" means proof. What i was getting at was that evidence is only evidence UNTIL it is proof. Somehow, I think that also is going to fly right by many of...

Hmmm....ok. Its the year 1755 and the doctor & policeman are in an eastern country. THERE...is it fixed now? :D

No problem...just get all the money printing machines of the world up and running, loan money to the IMF who then loans it to the failed countries. If they need more. We all print more! All is well now in bizarro land. :)

A policeman went to investigate a murder at the shooting range. As the policeman looked around, he saw bullet shells everywhere. He packaged up over 5,000 shells as evidence. When the doctor came he told the policeman that the man died of a heart attack and not a gunshot. "What? How can you...

I understand people sometimes get angry at what is happening around them. We should try to keep our cool though as swearing never helps you think clear and can only be detrimental to yourself. Think about it...when was the last time you heard someone cussing like a sailor who was thinking...

So basically these investments are the same thing a degenerate gambler would bet on, but its given a fancy name so that the degenerate gamblers(or bankers) can look smart while doing stupid things.

They riot there because they are losing entitlements, and we riot here because we are giving more away. Maybe none of us are a wise civilization. There are only two things that men look for in this life....wisdom and riches. When a man finds one, he rarely looks for the other.

Very interesting. Being forced to go to Catholic church every Sunday as a child, I had heard about purgatory many times. What I was told was things like 1 day in purgatory is worse than 100 years in Hell, so my understanding of purgatory was sort of this place that some people went to for a...

Im not sure...isnt that sort of like a credit default swap against the CDO?

haha. If that happened, a new car would likely cost $25. Anyone that held say $1,000 in cash would be the equivilent of a millionaire today. :)

I rounded the numbers YTD for May back to 2001 and here is what I get for Dow/gold ratios.(How many ounces of gold to buy the dow. I rounded down on the oz ratio and even numbers on the dow & gold so there is a slight variance in the final #s (because im that lazy) May...
