fed's latest easing could cost $1 trillion: , page-5

I listened to the Faber interview and he did discuss the points I thought were going to be discussed based on the title.
I tend to agree with most of what he said.
The last bit about the decoupling of Asia to the West;
I absolutely agree with it over the long term, but would expect short term worldwide major problems if the financial system did collapse.
If the west manages to slowly and gradually inflate the debt away and "keep it all going" like Japan has done for decades now (at least 50:50 IMO), then I expect the West to continue to loose share of the worlds economy and the emerging markets to continue to grow for decades.
That would be a good outcome for Australia and either scenario should be good for gold miners.
