How to Preserve Wealth in a Socialist Economy

I'm not so sure about Canada as some type of safe-haven from taxes. Canada is pretty socialized already. Taxes are already high and will be going higher. If the U.S. goes full bore socialist, Canada will be lock-step with the U.S. Socialism has plenty of flaws but socialists disregard these and continue to look forward to expanding their philosophy. U.S. socialism would provide more guard from socialist critics in other countries, thus unleashing more of this failed economic model. If one really sought shelter from taxes, they might give up their citizenship for the Bahamas.

Dollar vs. Gold - Can We Trust This Change?

While I believe we may be in store for a big bull run on gold later, this may be just a lull in the current gold bear market. Their aren't many other safe haven currencies to turn to. The smaller the float, the shorter the time is before one becomes overbought. The Euro has a large float but their banking system is in terrible shape.

Own Gold? Time to Fold

Alan, thank you for your informative post. I immediately went out and went long gold futures. I love contrary indicators like you. Uh....do you have any stock advice? Shorts, longs? I mean, what are you absolutely sure of?
Anyway, thanks for the con-advice.
