and yet, seems like your strategies rely heavily on option trading. maybe its wise to rethink that.

LOL! another gold bug peddling his book. There is a myriad reasons why today is not 1923. I would say one small difference to start with is we have not lost a World War yet (with huge "loser" payments to the winners), and do not have a pre-revolutionary situation at home with 30% unemployment. Thats the small reason. Another one, we dont have a gold standard either. Also, I think it would be even more fun to go as far back as the American revolution times, to makes things even more interesting, why not??? And while we are at it, why not draw parallels with Roman Empire, there got to be plenty of those, no??
