us jobless rate falls to 9.0%, page-10

Yes longer term we could another financial crisis happen if China slow's or implodes. Really EU & US Governments are delaying the inevtable of cleaning the bank rot and bad loans out of the system. A good example is Iceland which during the GFC went backrupt and did not try and bail itself out. Now it has recovered and is having a strong recovery.

The longer Western Governments delay and continue to print money the longer the system will support those that do not deserve to be there.

I am currently short Silver but only for the interim as I think the next crisis to come along, end of year or start of next year will see GOLD -> +$2000
