I am Definitely no economist however you need to argue with Doug casey, marc faber, (probably one of the greatest economists around), paul van eeden to name a few, whom state that GOLD IS THE REAL CURRENCY as it was in the past. Fiat Currency will come to a brutal end in the U.S, ALA BRAZIL, ARGENTINA, and throughout history, France, England, and now currently ZIMBABWE, where inflation is currently 1000%.
On the DOW, When the piper will be call to be paid soon the U.S market will collapse. If one is a chartist it is a head and shoulder formation, WATCH OUT BELOW.
However The DOW may make it for a little longer, but it definitely drawing its last breath it has barely moved in 5 years, not good.
However when GOLD Silver Zooms, it will only stay at high levels for a times. then quickly collapse again, but the smart investor will be out by then.
