Housing Affordability Surges

I don't think people are attacking housing, they are attacking the ridiculous premise that it has become affordable. Housing will be great when prices do eventually come into equilibrium with incomes.

Exclusive Interview with Jim Rogers: Inflation Is Coming

He's moved into overdrive in terms of talking his book over the past few months. He'll spew forth for some podunk local paper if they let him. He's not doing it as a public service for Joe six pack, I can guarantee you. He's probably doing it out of fear.

Bernanke's Great Lie: The Gold Standard and the Great Depression

Those of you thinking 'this time it's different' with gold prices, just remember that they said the same of internet stocks, real estate and oil. Gold must return to it's historical price trend line.
