<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DrHenley, post: 1774758, member: 50741&quot;]There is a perception that the almighty dollar is good no matter what the Fed does, and no matter how many are in circulation (electronically as well as physically).&nbsp; As long as that perception is maintained, things will go along like they have, more or less.&nbsp; It is the proverbial &quot;House of Cards.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Cyprus made the dollar look good to the international community.&nbsp; Gold had already been tarnished, and as someone put it&nbsp; (and I paraphrase): &quot;There weren&#039;t any clean shirts, and the dollar was the least dirty shirt in the hamper, so that&#039;s what they grabbed.&quot;&nbsp; Then Cyprus dumped their gold and the near term course was set in concrete.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When we get to the point where the Dow depends entirely on a few words from Bernanke and completely ignores the actual performance of the companies and the country, we are divorced from reality.&nbsp; And here in Lala Land, you can throw out the rules because there aren&#039;t any.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Me, I haven&#039;t sold a single coin, and don&#039;t intend to for the foreseeable future.&nbsp; My safe is full of &quot;overpriced&quot; silver and platinum, and some not-so-overpriced gold.&nbsp; I am nowhere near a hardcore prepper, but I do have a modest amount of food, water, fuel, guns, ammo, cash and PMs. (enough to make me &quot;feel&quot; prepared)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When the house of cards falls, I&#039;m sure the experts will call it a &quot;Black Swan Event.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; Like nobody saw it coming.&nbsp; Yeah, right...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
