As expected, the US government is throwing money at Katrina, while at the same time reports of rampant fraud of 911 funds is coming out. Can there be any doubt, that the Fed Reserve/US Government will attempt to inflate their way out of this? That more debt will be issued, than could ever...

that's the big factor I see reversing things. the trend has been, for companies to relocate work away form high cost areas. frankly, i would have expected more companies to move to midwest, or almost anywhere on the country's interior from the coasts where the costs are much lower...

gold has possibilities, but it's hard to get good commentaries, because gold bugs are so fanatical, the worst kind of perma bulls. I still think short selling of those things that get hurt is the way to go, as well as things that have been held afloat by cash out re-fi spending a tripple...

as a contributer for Ayn Rand's Objectivist newsletter in the 50s-60s, this former jaz saxaphonist wrote about how nobody has the right to take property and force it to be used to serve a public purpose. he championed a gold standard to protect individuals from having their wealth confiscated...
