    why don't you go short?

      Drops corporate tax rate
      So your solution to our economic problems is the same old right wing garbage we have been pursuing for 30 years? Giving more tax cuts to the rich while we pad the profits of the private health insurers. BRILLIANT!

        In 2010 it took ~$561 to buy what could be bought for $100 in the year 1970.
        In 2010 it took ~$265 to buy what could be bought for $100 in the year 1980.
        In 2010 it took ~$167 to buy what could be bought for $100 in the year 1990.
        In 2010 it took ~$127 to buy what could be bought for $100 in the year 2000.

        The Increase in salary for the vast majority of people has come nowhere close the inflation rate.
        This inflation will continue.
        So when you say essentially nothing will be different, in a sense you are right....the dollar will continue to lose purchasing power.

                  What exactly is gold useful for other than a chain etc. You may be right short term but it is heavily hedged and my advice is that you have a very aggressive exit strategy. When it comes down it's coming down fast and hard.

                          If you are lookinng for a short gain, you will never find it. No one in here has enough money to control the market, and that is what it takes. I am investing in Real Estate for my children. The area that I live in is starting to see a small reversal. Nothing major, but one property identical in size to a purchase that I made last month sold for $16,000.00 more than I paid for my property in the exact same tract. Other smaller properties all have asking proces of between $7,000.00 and $22,000.00 more than I paid for the property that I purchased. These properties are all single family housing units. Now this is nothing earth shaking, but it is a signal that the housing market may be slowly reversing.

                                  hasn't been so great lately but its done well for people who got in awhile ago.

                                  You think it will break back up to 50 anytime soon?
