Beats me why I subscribe to various sites for their wisdom and expertise when I can get so much info from the Gold forum.
There is a doom and gloom newsletter industry that pushes Gold, there are sites like Fat Prophets that say run with the Bulls but are long on Gold at the same time.
Then we have Skol and Andy who argue brilliantly for opposite sides, plus many others who contribute good points. Skol's figures over the last 18 months are hard to refute, but over a longer time frame back beyond that Andy comes up trumps.
The all important question is what does the future hold?
Can any recovery be sustained upon foundations of sand?
Can China afford to build more ghost Cities with unprofitable steel mills?
How long can the Bulls run before they hit the Great Wall?
Should I put my Super into rental properties in the USA?
Inflation? Deflation? Inflation is fueled by supply and demand, right? Consumers world wide are not in a healthy state at the moment, so I figure demand will stay low until, when and if, unemployment drops significantly, so I'm going for stagflation for quite some time yet.
Sigh, it's all so confusing, I think timing is the key, be nimble, be liquid, be ready!
Regards all!
