So, I posted some comments from ‘people’ who read the blog (which is not that many I know). Some of these ‘people’ SWEAR that this one particular site is the best, and quite frankly, I know who these people are, and I know what they actually do on the street.
Lately, gold, silver, platinum have taken a down turn as the US dollar has strongly increased. With the recent health care bill being passed, many people are now putting their bets on the US dollar to make a comeback. Spend Spend Spend! I’m more fiscally conservative, but who knows, I could be wrong (but it seems to have worked for me so far). I have no doubt in my mind that pretty much all the precious metals will continue to rise due to the US economy’s unsustainable practices, but we have market fluctuations every once in a while. I can almost guarantee that within the next couple of days (maybe by the end of the week), the precious metals will jump 20 dollars (i exaggerating…..a little). Why do I make such loft claims? A couple of things, 1) we are in MAJOR debt. Most of our debt is own by Asia and the middle east. Even though we are fiscally connected at the hip, it doesn’t mean they don’t have their own agendas. 2) Job creation is still VERY low, and the unemployment is MUCH higher than what we see in the news. Job creation has been slow for the past half year, and even though the numbers say unemployment is under 10%, in truth it’s actually much higher. Unemployment statistics are restricted by a certain time frame in which you are unemployed and if you are actively looking. 3) Up and coming nations are restricting the US dollar usage. Most of the time, counties use the US dollar as the go to Bill paying, now a days, people have started using actual Gold. China, India, and the all the big up and coming players have started to buy/use Gold as their go to bill payers. This causes are hold on the world economies to weaken, and thus, weaken our dollar.
This isn’t a short term game any more, this is a long term game. Who can survive the longest.
