  • China Export Ban Could Sting Certain ETFs [View article]
    The USa can and has produced all these materials in the past - we have used Chinese sources the last decade due to their cheaper nature. The "unavailble at any price" is incorrect.

  • FOMC Pulls Out All the Stops (Part 2) [View article]
    Yes, the Fed is monetizing the debt (printing money). Left unchecked, this will result in a serious inflation. However, given the extremely low veloctiy of money we are experiencing world-wide at the moment, the inflationary effects may take a while, say 12-18 months, before they are felt. Also note the Fed can also reduce the money supply just as quickly as they create it (by selling back those T-bonds). Runaway inflation is not a sure-fire bet. Right now, we are in a Deflationary recession. Things are not going to turn on a dime. That said, some GLD in a portfolio is probably not a bad idea, but only as a hedge. Hard monetary assets don't "produce" or earn anything - they merely hold their inlfation-adjusted value. Yes, by all means protect (hedge) the value of your savings, but don't be looking for Gold at $3000 an ounce anytime soon. -LB
