    What Effect Will Hyperinflation Have? [view article]
    I am preparing even now. My greatest preparation was the simultaneous demise of my very successful business, the death of my wife and the foreclosure of my home. I left Greater NY and moved wayyyy north. I have already bought 6 mos of food, which will sustain us until the spring planting and I can put a line in the ocean for fish, dig clams, etc. I would not stay in larger areas as there will be shortages, hyperinflation and civil unrest. I am thankful I know Christ and I am ready for eternity. Reply

    FIRST...
    What has technical analysis chart reading ever sucessfully and consistently predicted? Gold prices? Hardly. I could piss a zig zag on the ground and a TA person would tell me where I was going to piss next.

    Predictions of S&P 100 or 10,000 are about this useful if you don't consider EARNINGS, which are the fundamentals underlying stock prices.

    SECOND...
    Why should we expect gold to go up more than it already has? Will inflation rates increase, even as unemployment rises, demand for cash increases, interest rate expectations increase over the next 1-2 yrs, and commodity demand decreases?

    THIRD...
    Why would anyone invest in gold? If you invest in GLD, you accept counterparty risk during the only time that you would wish to be invested in gold - during meltdowns that increase counterparty risk!

    If you take physical delivery, you're paying a 10-50% premium on the value of the gold for someone to coin it and retail it / deliver it to you. That's IF they don't dilute it at the core and rip you off even more. Then you have to store it safely and insure it. Thus you take on the risk of being forced to open your safe at gunpoint one day, even as you pay carrying costs for this privledge. Then, if all hell does break loose, you'll have a hard time spending your collector coins at the bread market or even finding a safe way of exhanging them for whatever is of value or using it to get a job. Then, if we really got to Zimbabwe standards of living, wouldn't a passport, canned goods, an education or trade skills, children willing to fight for you, and foreign currency accounts be more useful than collector coins? After all, at that point, the smart people escape! If you cling to your hard-to-safely-transpo... gold and don't leave, you'll end up like the European nobility of the pre-Nazi era - dead and looted.

    Thus gold fails at every reason for owning it, unless you think you can pick zig zags in the charts.     Reply

    What is the monetary implication of the trillions of dollars lost on dollar-denominated paper (stocks and bonds) in the past few weeks? Don't the Treasury's new borrowings have to be netted against the "money" destroyed? After all, we can't have too much money chasing too few goods if none of us has any money or inclination to spend it.

    The dollar may be damaged by the discovery that the Reward Points we have been distributing to our trading partners cannot be redeemed for anything worth having, but that's not a result of the Treasury printing money so much as it is the result of exporters grasping that they will not in fact get paid for what they send us. (Of course, taking into account the low marginal cost of selling stuff to us, that risk may actually prove acceptable to them...)

    The market is not going down because of herd mentality of the baby boomers, It is the herd mentality of hedge funds and mutual funds that is causing this melt down. Unless the hedge funds are regulated like mutual funds, and there is some transparency of what the hedge funds are doing, this market is not coming back/ Individuals will surely be out at some point, whether now or in a year, if down turn persists. Going forward, funds will simply be selling to each other and will have very little individual participation directly or via funds. Reply

    Actually, I do have an ounce of gold in my safe. One, a gift to my son from his grandfather the gold bug. I don't se the point of owning physical bullion in physical possession. By the time that is worth more than shares in a gold ETF, the currency of choice will be bullets.

    Kelly, you tried. remarkl just doesn't get it. Granted, he/she has faith in the system, and we "should" have that, but let's face it, if you buy a dog for protection, and at every opportunity to excel in his job to protect you, he BITES YOU, what should you think/do?

    I bet he hasn't a ounce of gold or silver in his safe! Those paper promises, oh well, I'm not going to beat that (very) dead horse!

    Love your posts, Kelly. Of course, you know that!     Reply

    Most impressive article, very convincing, the only very blatant sounding comments on Gold, make one suspect if there is a conflict of interest, from the Gold business. Reply

    Who used the web in 1933 so anyone silly enough to compare the age of worthless custom derivatives with today's economy is fighting the last war?

    This problem was created by the use of non-standard, non-transparent custom derivatives and the statists in Washington don't want the "smartest guys in the room" to pay for their virtual fraud, Just mark these derivatives to their zero value and we will be on the way to solving the problems. Its not the economy it is the Banking and Washington Bureaucrats with conductors Greenspan, Dodd, Barney F... and the rest of the greedy Congress. destroying Free Markets.

    My paid off home will be here regardless of what these greedy oafs do. Unless we have an Obama defense Dept. which will allow the terrorists to turn it to rubble.

    We are politically looking at economics when we should be looking at National Defense and Homeland Security. The economy will do o.k. if the government stays out. The Depression ended when we supplied both the "Allies" and Hitler with the products of our Military/Business Complex not any economic policy from FDR who believed hard working men like my father should have a job moving dirt from one side of the road to the other. Now we have Government Controlled Capitalism and business decisions will be based upon political power and contributions.

    We have had worst housing busts the past five decades but we had transparency. We didn't have transparency because Congress didn't want it. Bigger interestate banks, dump Glass-Steagall adding risk to commercial banks, and allow worthless derivatives to go wild. I thought that LTCM, with their two Nobel winners would bring an end to this. Now we have the Enron Adviser getting on so he can joining the group of Esteem losers Arafat, Carter, Scholes and Merton - all bankrupt or bailed out by the government.

    One of the great out comes of all of this is that the voters, if they ever did, will not believe Congress, Banks and Wall Street for decades and those thieves know it that is why they are the tube every day telling us that all of this mess will not cost taxpayers. Bull! It will but it wouldn't if we had integrity in our investment, banking and political institutions which will never happen in my life as the voters really believe these folks look out for their best interests.

    Thomas good observation on the circuity breaker "work around". The question is: is there a difference between dropping 20% in one day opposed to over a week? In the short term? long term?

    I do think you are on the right track with the recessionary forecast. However what has me up at night, is trying to assess given market factors, HOW LONG it will last? will be see a "U" shape recovery? "V" shaped recovery?orrrrrrrrrr an "L" and simply flat line for a while.

    Anyone?     Reply
