The fundamentals supporting a mania in gold and gold stocks are such that I think a strong case can be made [to support my contention] that the current bull market in gold is far stronger than the one from the 1970s. [I present below] the major observations I feel...support such a thesis. Words: 700

Matters can not, and will not, get better...the country is gone, it is no longer alterable...Past Fed actions have already released the inflation genie into the system. When he decides to explode no one can predict, but an explosion is inevitable...[and then we will have] rioting in the streets.

We are going to get more money printing...[yet,] somehow, guys who want to buy stocks at 1,400 on the S&P all conclude that the Fed is going to stop easing...I just don't understand [when] the consequences of money printing are going to be more inflation and the metals (gold and silver) are going to be a big beneficiary of that.

I fear we are now stoking up the conditions, at some point in the future, for serious inflation.

One of the problems with the debate over the “national debt” is that there’s no generally agreed upon definition of that term. Is it what the federal government owes, or what it owes foreigners, or what the whole country, private and public sector together, owes?

Whether our current economic crisis will end with massive inflation or in a deflationary spiral (ultimately, either one results in a Depression) is more than an academic one. It is the single most important variable for near and intermediate term investing success. It is also important in regard to taking actions which can prepare and protect you and your family.
