Precious Metals Will Depose Cash from Its Temporary Throne

Peter, it seems our thoughts appear to align very well. Is it no surprise that the money supply is up over 100% over the past few months? According to Obama, TARP has already spent some $300B of the $750B. Hence money is being pumped at a RAPID pace into our withering economy.

I fully agree that this action coupled with the US debt increasing each day, will only result in furthe devaluation of the US. Dollar.

We must recall that the massive sell offs in hedge funds aren't usually voluntary and fund managers are being FORCED to sell because many investors believe that they are forced to sell. For example in Canada, investors with RRIFs, must pay taxes on at least $10,000 of their investment. However this value was determined at the start of the year, and with some portfolio's down by over 50%. They are now actually paying taxes on 20% of their current portfolio. Due to the lack of transparent investment advice, we will continue to sell these massive sell offs take its toll on already undervalued equities. It is only a matter of months IMO before we see a commodity correction.

And as we know "Concurrently, the U.S. Government runs large operating deficits in circumstances where its National Debt approximated $9.6 trillion at July 31, 2008, up from $9 trillion at December 31, 2007 and $6.2 trillion at December 31, 2006."

The question is with the money supply increasing, debt increasing, unemployment increasing, foreclosures increasing, consumer confidence on the decline. How worse can things really get?
