Berkshire Could Hit $200K Within Two Years - Barron's

What about precious metals? Gold, Silver? Anyone?

Can someone verify this, that the US is headed for a currency crisis as soon as summer 2008? What will the effects be on BRK? What about mining stocks?

What about sky rocketing oil prices, this is a symptomatic of inflation. The effects is going to be bitter given a slowing economic environment in US. How will this affect emerging economies? Will China revalue their currency upward?

I know I am just jabbering, but somehow this thread got me thinking off a tangent.

Is the Commodities Bubble Popping?- Fast Money Recap (4/29/08)

The futures market may seem speculation. However it is a reflection of what people (you and me) are willing to pay for oil. By going to the gas station we are saying we'll suck in $120/barrel oil and $4/gallon gas.

So if we wan to reduce cost of gas/oil, then there needs to be a corresponding reduction in demand.

However, this is unlikely as everything we use is directly or indirectly derived from oil. Not to mention, now that China and India have seen movies from Hollowood, they too want the SUVs, big houses and RVs.

I think &6/gal gas and higher is in the cards. This may lead to another military confrontation - which will drive price of oil even higher.
