      The Family Foresight Thought Experiment
      Good fun
      If you held physical assest from 1908, Gold Coins, Silver Coins, Hell even paper assest (Dollars of the day) you would see almost a 3-4 times return. Key underlinded of long term weath preservation is not to trust any goverment (all can fail), Land can be seized (russia), but if you and your hiers, have large physical assest and have them stored in several highly safe counties, (Swiss, Sweden) or in several global places with little chance of reveoultion (Small islands and nations).

      Four Reasons Why Gold's a Slam Dunk Investment
      In the short run gold will decrease as demand for jewerly, cars (used in catalyic converters), computers, and other non-necessary items is decressed. Long term we may never see gold at $80 again. Long term it should move higher for the reasons outlined, risk of geopolictial events continues to increase (One reason is protectionism, cause less trade equals more conflicts, you dont bomb your trading partners unless you have a override reason like religion). Terrorism is not going to shrink till we deal with the poverty and mid east issues, Inflation is clearly above where it needs to be and Bernake does not care about it.
      Risk of a major issues in the finacial markets could drive people to safe heavens of physical gold.
      So before you call each other names consider the long run before you place bets on either side. And anyone with one investment (Stocks or gold is looking to be burned by the black swan)

      Decoupling Of Physical Gold And Paper Gold Prices
      Like all investments, being in gold or silver should not be the one thing you do. It should be no more then 10% of your total weath. Yes it is used as a dollar edge, but there is easier ways to do this. Just open a bank account in a forgien country, it can be done on the web now. The play in phyical metal (bullion) is simply a bet againt fiat money. However the investment in Rare Coins is just like other invenstment of a non-financial type, buy what you like, enjoy it and maybe it will go up in value. Dont think you can walk in off the street and buy up coins and get rich. Like the art or wine market it is driven by professional collectors who spend a lifetime figuering out the market. As for the future, there is nothing wrong with some gold and silver as the credit cruch will continue for sometime and may be reflected in the markets and dollars for a while.

      Why the 2008 Housing Relief Bill is No Relief
      I think it is crazy the can still pay dividends and there is no cutting on C-level pay to go with this. Of course since Fannie and Freddie are the one of the largest 'givers' to both parties no surprise there. Glad we could help PIMCO and China as well with our support.

      In 1930 and 1931 if you invested in the that downturn for the long term you would not have recoved til late in 1960's with any stock. Good luck thinking you should buy now and hold

      High Likelihood of a Market Crash
      In 1929 after the first crash, many predicted the bottom had been reached, 1933 was the real bottom by then the stock market was done 80% and most everyone who tried to fish on the way down where burned. Think this time is different. Think this is like 1987? 1973? Look at the major causes of the crash easy credit, real estate speculation and complex ponzi schemes involing compliated financial instrutrements that look like SIV and CDO of today. This is merely the open prelude to next few years. It will take 2-3 years before we know the true cost of the unwinding of past years. You want the future, look at 1929-1933. See who made money and who wanted HOPE to win. Forget hope and hold on it is going to get rough.
