Inflation adjusted the CRB today is at the same level as it was 40 years ago. How can that be when recourses are supposed to be indeed depleting more and more each day.

Many countries such as Belgium, Italy and Japan have (had) debt to GDP ratio's of 100% or higher or are well on their way to blast trough those previous highs. As worrisome those numbers might appear the good thing about it if you will is people in those countries have learned a long time ago...

I hope John Paulson. He's into gold up to his neck and so am I.

Wall Street’s largest trade group has started a campaign to counter the “populist” backlash against bankers, enlisting two former aides to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to spearhead the effort. In memos of confidential meetings with top financial executives, the Securities Industry...

Care to comment on the health of the Euro banking system? Thanks.

BLSH, Italy really doesnt have an unemployment rate of 20% not even close. Other then that Italians households are amongst the least indebted of the entire industrialised world just to point out there are different factors at work to conclude how severe this downturn is striking down upon the...

Inflation is grossely understated imo. I live in europe and the cost for say drinking a coke in the pub has tripled at least since the euro was implemented and this was a decade where the euro was amongst the best performing currencies across the globe.

USD is crashing hard.

It's probably a natural and unavoidable evolution. When living standards reach a certain high they tend make people forget the foundation on which their wellbeing was build.

Well, it's an interesting question that's for sure. The housing boom all over the world was generally perceived as 'a bull market' in housing while the 'bull market' in precious metals during the seventies has gone down in history as a mostly inflationary currency problem. The oil spike of...

Sugar rose 2000% during the seventies. Gold rose +2000% during the seventies. Silver rose +2000% during the seventies. oil rose 1000% during the seventies. Also several other commodities rose multiple 100%'s but I guess as you point out each has his own definition of...

I have the same problem. I own a few junior gold miners who if gold goes to 2k should do well enough for me to retire and I'm only 26! I guess I will find mental peace if gold does goes to +2k or down to $250 and I can give up on dreaming the rich life and find a real job.

Even though all or a lot evidence seems to point towards deflation... I just can't grasp the idea of burying cash in the backyard and coming out as king of the town 5 years in time.

Well, as mentioned before Western europe is great as far as opportunity to trade goes. You get up at 9, then 3 in the afternoon US markets open untill 10 in the evening and if you aren't saturated you can trade Asia after midnight.:) High standard of living also (although some might say...

If you believe in deflation then you should buy gold according to Marc Faber. How would gold perform in a deflationary global recession? Initially gold could come under some pressure as well but once the realization sinks in how messy deflation would be for over-indebted countries and...

The US is headed toward hyperinflation, and within five to 10 years it could have inflation rates of 10 to 20 percent, said Marc Faber, editor and publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report. "In every society, when you have large fiscal deficits combined with easy monetary policies … the...

Marc Faber agrees. He sees C at 30$ a share. And bread at 100$ a loaf. Sorry Makloda.:D
