Falling Dollar: Finally Front-Page News

Let me refresh your memories......since 2006, Washington has been controlled by Democrats.
As far as our current dollar crisis goes, this is exactly what the Fascists who are now in charge of this once great nation want, for
crisis is the friend of the state. Just ask the head tax cheat who now runs the Treasury, Mr. Tim Geithner.
We are now officially a third world nation.
Obama is on track to make Jimmy Carter look like George Washington.

The customer base (I am one) will continue to erode.

Will Gold Outperform the S&P 500 for 2009?

With pressure on the dollar by both China and India, plus the inflationary policies by the Fed, the only thing that will prevent gold from reaching much higher will be the manipulation of world governments and banks.

Gold, Silver Set to Rise - Scotia

In reply to the first comment, the definition of inflation is the devaluation of the dollar. And just look at the Yen/Dollar or the Euro, plus the printing presses at the U.S. Mint are running 24/7. Factor in China and India calling for an end to the dollar and.............you have inflation. Gold is the place to be.

Gold: Metal or Stocks

It will be a long time before the DJIA bounces back. Meanwhile, with pressure on the dollar (China/India), plus the inflation that will occur in 18 to 24 months, gold and related issues are a strong buy now. With the U.S. economy running downhill faster than a runaway freight train and no end in sight (just ask the Vice President who admitted they got it wrong), gold is poised for a major rally.
As far as jobs data, it will continue to erode well into next year.

How Is Southwest Airlines Performing?

Let me sum it up for you. LUV is a good carrier, however operationally they perform at a level that is on par for the industry, which is not good, by any means. There is at least one legacy carrier that outperforms LUV day in and day out. Maybe even more than one. SWA has one of the highest cost structures (salaries) in the industry. The one thing (only thing) that has saved them is their genius in the fuel hedge department. Had it not been for this, SWA would be a basket case today. It has often been stated that the airline should stop flying airplanes and become a full time hedge fund!
