    I've done OK on metals...I've got about 1/2 pound of gold in coins bought in the $380's and also bought several of these (proofs in the boxes with certificates) when they came out for a little under $200.

    Obviously there are some stocks I would have done better with in the same time frame...
    Gold is looking even better now. Congrats.

    Therefore, I predicted that inflation would spiral out of control, and turn into hyperinflation of the U.S. dollar.

    Therefore, I am confident in predicting the following sequence of events:
    • By March of 2011, once higher commodity prices reach the marketplace, monthly CPI will be at an annualized rate of not less than 5%.
    FAIL
    • By July of 2011, annualized CPI will be no less than 8% annualized.
    FAIL
    • By October of 2011, annualized CPI will have crossed 10%.
    ABOUT TO FAIL

    • By March of 2012, annualized CPI will cross the hyperinflationary tipping point of 15%.
    After that, CPI will rapidly increase, much like it did in 1980
    ABOUT TO FAIL
    Failed, failed, and just about to fail.

    The assumption in the OP was rather well tested. Seems like no one seems to think that US treasuries still aren't the safest bet around.

    Where else are you going to park your cash, GREECE?

    Did they charge you big fees to refinance? Or did you just purchase the car?
    who charges fees to refinance. This is the second time I have seen someone talk about this... I just refi'd and didn't get charged a fee (and have never been charged for that matter)

    So your point is that our currency is safer than Greece, and therefore our system is beyond reproach?

    Are you always this dumb?

    You say that as if you have never seen a political cartoon before.

    Now, little Darrin, when grown-ups want to make a point in a funny way, they use what is called "satire". They will draw simple, funny pictures that tell a story.

    Can you say "satire"?

    Hey liar, if you are going to quote me, get it right instead of slandering me.

    The above quote is a flat out lie.

    Nope.

    The point I made was that, at the end of the day, we are still regarded as the safe haven.

    The main assumption of the OP is that underlying "safe haven" assumption will change, and should have changed by now.

    I didn't say anything about our current system being "above reproach"?

    Since you sort of asked, I would say it definitely isn't above reproach, as S & P made pretty clear in their statement.

    The current rather noisy move to the right in this country, and the increasingly extremist viewpoint of the Republican party has caused a great deal of political upheaval. That has done more damage than any amount of debt we have taken on thus far.

    If a firm is going to disregard the regulations, what good does accounting do that can be doctored anyway?

    I see it as just more "feel good" liberal expenses.

    Accounting for all the toxic pollution you produce is a "pollution control", because it forces companies to be aware of, and report, their pollution, and provides penalties if they don't.

    I don't think the attribution is at all a lie.

    Your words. "feel good" liberal expenses" when talking about companies having to keep track of really toxic waste.

    So it should be "some pollution controls are" instead of "pollution contols are".

    Fair enough.

    (edit)

    Fixed.

    The "noise" your referring to is made by a select few right-wing idiots who left-wing sheep like yourself point at in order to propogate the false left-right paradigm. The damage they inflict cant be near as bad as the damage done by repeated QEs by the FED, which you publically support, old people's pensions and savings be-damned.

    There has been no "shift" to the right. We see the same people who voted for bush, now railing against socialism and obama.

    The only move that matters is that of independents moving towards libertarian views as the only option to reign in the crushing weight of our federal folly.

    And if the Dollar is so damn safe, why is the international community continually proposing a move away from it as the world reserve? When this happens, do you think the cash in your pocket will be worth more as TP or as kindling?

    I wonder how long it will take Darrin to notice....

    If he doesn't figure it out, I will point it out to him in great big, simple words.

    The value is only going to keep falling, fella. I can get more for it today than I can when the prices go up tomorrow.

    The "international community" generally proposes this because they, generally Russia and China, would prefer to erode the US power base.

    (funny enough, I typed that before clicking and reading the link, heh)

    I actually agree with that report.

    Ultimately though, the IMF funding is still dominated by the dollar, since we are one of the bigger donors, so it wouldn't be *that* much of a solution.

    Sorry, once again, I don't get to fit into your false paradigm of what "the left" is.
