??? the exit plan is to hold to maturityQuote from S2007S:
Same thing here in the US...with so much debt the smallest increase in interest rates to just 1% would wreak havoc on the system ...that's why interest rates will stay low for at least 5 years...and there is no such thing as an exit plan when it comes to BUBBLE ben bernanke and friends.

I was the first one who refused to become a salesman
I tried, but I failed
I'm just not a very good liar
Managing money came very natural to me
It's just a matter of asset allocation
Like I said, at the Christmas party the boss said, "Do you realize 90% of your commissions were generated from your own account?"Quote from oldtime:

He has already made that plain as vanilla
Let's see how this craziness ends! Maybe another financial crisis just like what happened famously in 90s in Japan!Quote from brokerboy:
you should read up on japan they had deflation for 20 years and everybody owns bond. they all want out so its pushing the yield higher and as you see the nikkei is up 2% today. now the derivatives all tied to low interest rates. the government debt is very high and they would blow up if there had to pay higher rates on debt paper.

Quote from Nine_Ender:
Given that there are no signs of inflation and interest rates aren't likely to rise much if at all for two more years, your post has quite the opposite message to me. It suggests the long Gold move might be somewhat of a bubble ( I've held this belief for two years. but don't pretend to know what speculators can do in the short term ).
History suggests any big move in Gold gets countered eventually. You can say "this time is different", but given the lack of utility for Gold its a risky position to take. And from what I've seen on gold stocks, they seem to be foreshadowing a belief in the markets that Gold itself may drop a lot more ( this has been true for months so its a little dated now ).
If you disagree you can pick up a lot of Canadian miners at dirt cheap prices now. Might be an opportunity.
