*****market crash********, page-5

Goldbars,

Interest rates going up tells me the economy is stronger
than it has been in the past, that's a good thing, rates
going up will sustain a recovery if done slowly as it will
cap inflation. Bearing in mind most companies have
refinanced long term debt as these low rates and that
goes for alot of personal debt. So I don't think interest
rates going up .25 or .5 will cause a crash.

Muslims attacking should not be played into, unless it
happens, it's been years since 911 and there have been various attacks, eg Bali and that didnt cause a crash.
I guess if they destroy infrastructure, that means
job creation and Base Metals usage - Positive.

Globally nearly every company has increased profits
and inventory levels are low to. This I believe will
lead to more jobs as inventory levels need to be
increased as demand is rising.

I personally don't see a crash due to growth in the
US and China, even though they are trying to slow it
down. Still 5% on a country that is in the early
stages of westernisation with 1 Billion people shouldnt
be discounted. Sure the markets are spooked that
there not doing 8 or 9%, but 5% is more sustanable
long term. I see China growing at this rate for 5+
years atleast.

You do have a point on Debts though and cash printing.
But the world has revolved around debts for years and
years and will continue to do so.
