Economy Watch: What if Stocks Were Priced in Gold?

Your point on gold is spot on and so is everything relative to gold. However, will i really be buying groceries with gold and silver coins once the dollar collapses? Isnt every currency tanking relative to gold? At what point does the old joke come into play: I don't have to outrun the inflationary bear to survive, but i do have to outrun my buddies next to me. In that case, the dollar wins big as its holding up much stronger than the euro, ruple, and everything else save the Yen. Also, who are the two of the biggest owners of gold...that would be the USA and Japan. I like TIPS better for protection.

How the Treasury Bubble Will Burst and Why

There are tons and tons of articles popping up regarding the treasury bubble bursting. The yield is at 0% for the shorter terms. How hard of a call is that? The yield cant go below 0% so its going to go higher and prices will fall....no duh. Tell me when you think its going to turn or the tipping point when it will turn. We all knew the housing bubble was trouble for years. Most though it would collapse quickly, but it took nearly 4+ years in most areas. Do you think we have months before it collapses or is your UGL and TBT money, dead money, for another 3+ years?
