In Weimar Germany they had hyperinflation but their stockmarket went down from 100 to 2 in foreign curriencies.

What would happen should Greece default? To the Euro? To other Euro zone countries in bad shape? Will Germany step in? The IMF?

Sheeps!:p

Anyone looking to buy on weakness here?

The following letter is from a London-based silver trader to CFTC Commissioner Bart Chilton. I wanted to post this letter, which appeared in Friday's Midas report, for those who do not subscribe to http://www.lemetropolecafe.com/. Anyone who follows the gold and silver markets knows about the...

Moody’s Investors Service said its top debt ratings on the U.S. and the U.K. may “test the Aaa boundaries” because their public finances are worsening in the wake of the global financial crisis. The U.S. and U.K. have “resilient” Aaa ratings, as opposed to the “resistant” top...

August 1971 was a very exciting time. We were long Japan and short America, and one Sunday night, Nixon announced that he was taking America off the gold standard. I didn't even know it had happened. I had been off somewhere on my motorcycle, and I came in Monday morning without having read the...

As a European myself I have come to greatly admire the dept in knowledge some Americans have in the field of economics and their own history. I keep track of mainstream and obscure media economic coverage, blogs and forums in 4 languages on a daily base from basically all over the world and...

It's strange but in my country (which is top 5 tax pressure worldwide) gold is free from any taxes when buying nor do we have capital gain taxes on gold or stocks of any kind. I guess you can't have it both ways.

Again a presumption toward the gold bulls that can easily be said about 'retail investors' in any asset class. Global losses worldwide both on an institutional level as on a retail level have been mind boggling this crisis so I see no reason to frown upon goldbulls for their supposed passive...

Comparing asset perfomance with randomly chosen time frames will always give an outcome in line with the point one is trying to make. Why not compare gold's performance to C, AIG or Fannie and Freddie? There is a time and a place for everything, you just need to know where we are today...

Daal, would you mind sharing your view on the Kondratieff waves theory and if it has any merritt in your view? Cheers.

Auch :p Goldstocks holding up rather nicely though. We have seen far greater leverage on the downside these last 2 years then today. Also nice that the dollar takes some of the pain away for non US residents.:)

Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman said he plans to sell some of his investments in Brazil on concern that asset prices are overvalued after record inflows made the real the world’s best performing major currency. “I am seeking to get out because of what’s happening,” Krugman...
