    Ron Paul's 3 Minute Summary Of The Causes And Effects Of The Crash

    The main idea probably is to debase the currency to make produced goods more atractive for foreigners. The flaw in this seems to me what if the rest of the world aims for the same route to kickstart their economy. Beggar thy neighbour? Also it seems to be a bit narrowminded in my view to...

    Ron Paul's 3 Minute Summary Of The Causes And Effects Of The Crash

    To play advocate of the Devil here despite Paul's compelling statements and dito style there are plenty of people on ET and elsewhere who are of the opinion the school of Austrian economics upon which he bases his primary views is just as flawed then Bernanke's Zimbabwe school of economics...

    Is Max Keiser Correct or Incorrect in His 'Global Casino Model' Hedge Fund Theory?

    I see. Keiser's main theme basically is that he is of the opinion central bankers are counterfeiting criminal oligarchs deep in bed with the Wall street scum who have no interest what so ever in the little guy. But don't expect anyone to revolt cause people in the western world are...

    Ten principles for a Black Swan-proof world - Taleb

    U.S. Mint suspends sales of almost all gold and silver coins

    Actually, the USD is the currency of choice in Zimbabwe this day in age I believe which does give the prediction of 'Zimbabwe style' inflation in the US a bit of a ironical taste doesn't it?

    The playing field for economists and others to make bad calls.

    Learning about the world of economics I have noticed not one economist or market prognosticator throughout modern history (and before?) hasn't made at least a couple of terribly or even horrible calls discrediting most of their previous work if one were to be truly rigid in his judgement...

    Gold above 1200$ an ounce in 2009?

    Yes but with all due respect that judgement might have something to do with you being long precious metals yourself as you have stated several times on ET before. I'm in the same boat but I have learned to be sceptical about the 'going to the moon' predictions and basically have no idea if...

    Gold above 1200$ an ounce in 2009?

    Seems to me gold could go up to 1200$ if say the DOW moves above 10000. If the markets tank I have a hard time seeing gold not falling as well if not gold itself then certainly the miners. The fall will tell indeed.
