<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 724764, member: 13650&quot;]Aah, who knows?&nbsp; Maybe that magic old U.S. dollar will make a huge come back and send it back to $250?&nbsp; lol&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Would make about as much sense as to how the DOW continues to hover around 10k range in this economic climate.&nbsp; When we&#039;re worse off now than we were last October when it crashed.&nbsp; Considering the duration and worse unemployment than at that time. </p><p>&nbsp; As the wave of baby boomers retire and need to sell their holdings to a younger workforce now experiencing 22% real unemployment and many who ARE employed can&#039;t afford to gamble in it.&nbsp; &nbsp; Almost makes you wonder who&#039;s buying doesn&#039;t it?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; Could there be stimulus money propping it up?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course, there&#039;s that inconvenient little fact of inflation and the public&#039;s disconnect with it.&nbsp;&nbsp; When the DOW is back to that key psychological point of 10k range, it&#039;s whipped up by the media, &#039;flying high&#039; and everybody&#039;s happy again!&nbsp;&nbsp; Never mind that these levels were experienced 10 years ago or that formerly strong stocks that have dropped to nothing have been removed and replaced with other companies.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Yes, unless we all see enormous pay raises, average people will have to settle for fractions of gold (if they&#039;re lucky enough) until that is no longer affordable.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then it will be silver until it&#039;s no longer affordable.&nbsp; &nbsp; It&#039;s happening before your eyes.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m interested to see how fast this will escalate as we move into the norm of trillions of dollars annually in deficit spending.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Took nearly a century to be 1 trillion in debt.&nbsp; Now that&#039;s an optimistic view for an annual deficit!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Yeah, I&#039;d say there&#039;s reason for concern looking forward.&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
