For me, it's about the commodities stupid...

You're just creating more currency chasing the same amount of >dwindling< goods... I saw this coming and a year ago loaded up with copper, oil, lumber, uranium, gold and silver... it's gone gangbusters and no end is in sight that I can see. Mining stocks being still a "buy" as far as I can see... Cause why? cause the dollar is getting debased every day, the constant then becomes the price of real goods. Another thing is the political tensions that must be at play trying to get and keep other nations buying your bonds as you piss away cash that you invent every day by the billions and trillions. I mean really what do I know... I play a logical, value based game in a highly volatile time. Thanks for pining me on this a fascinating topic that encompasses so much... Steady as she goes... and diversify diversify diversify... Think African/South Asian ETF's
