Gold Fever: Still a Long Way Away

Here is one likely scenario to consider... Netenyahu rolls tanks into Gaza,,, Hamas gets their expected aid from Hezboulah and Iran... Israel is forced to confront Syria on the Golan Heights or even attack Damascus stronghold of Hamas and Hezboulah. Iran takes a page out of Sadam's war plans and lauches missle attacks not directly at Israel but the oil fields in Iraq, Kuwait, and the House of Saud.... Oil soars and along with the price of Gold.

If there is one thing that you can almost go to the bank on is that there will be a full confrontation with Hamas by the new administration in Israel.

Market Safe Havens Rapidly Dwindling

phdinsuntanning --- gutsy call. The safest place to be is in BIL right now and lots of it. T bills.... CASH --- I would agree with diversifying CASH via FXY FXF and FXE to some extent. Hard assets will rule till the smoke clears. The real yellow metal. (Maybe GLD if in fact its really back up with the bullion.) Shorting like crazy means being right twice ! GL in this environment! I rather miss the bottom and catch it on the up swing next year after all the blood in the streets is caked over and vacuumed away.

Gold Bull Sees Huge Run for Gold

No jdl51 --- You can thank the Clinton years and the left for subsidizing low income housing and fast money ala Greenspan to fuel the sub prime mess. The credit bubble that was created in the 90's is coming home to roost. Study the problem carefully... if you could walk and chew gum (barely) you had government sponsored (read that as welfare state socialist democrats) sponsored free wheeling organizations like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack. Two pet organizations and massive political contributors to the likes of Chris Dodd and Barney Frank !! --- Bush has his issues, but you really understand what has been happening over the last 15 years in the credit markets, the dems are as much to blame as the repubs.

Bob Moriarty: Gold is Safe Haven for Looming Crash

The Yin and the Yang --- you need both sides of the extreme to produce the tension that makes the entire system work. Hey.... let's talk Elliott Wave Theory. Are we 5 legs up and 3 legs down or was it the other way around ??
