@Hohn- You deserve a good reply and I'm working on one. It will take a while to assemble the info.
@IndyDave- You have jumped to the solution. Killing the Fed with fire would be a major improvement. I'll also be expanding on that.
Likely sometime tomorrow before I have proper responses assembled.
Which underpins my suspicion that our primary impediment to economic expansion is not monetary. It is regulatory and a crisis of confidence. It is the fear that the rule of law is in danger, and that any investment made is subject to an executive order re-arranging things after the fact (mortage loan forgiveness, Detroit bailouts, etc).
In other words, our GOVERNMENT is the main cause of all our woes. And the more it tries to solve problems, the worse the problems get because the solutions are the problem.

Thanks. This makes me feel a bit better. It is something I don't truly understand aside from there being too many shadowy people with too many hidden agendas, and that I go with when in doubt sticking to the Constitution.
Here's a more recent thread. Lots of discussion there.Anybody else get the silver bug after the recent little drop? I am, and wonder what a long term plan would look like. Not so much as investment to flip, but hedge against failing dollar.
