  1. Wow...I just heard it on the news too. Didnt say what it downgraded to, just that it was downgraded. Dang! Well at least my silver will go to $100 next week. Sucks to be you guys who are long Treasuries. :p

  3. So let's hear the predictions. Is this good or bad for bonds? For stocks I see a likely gap down and green close as Bernanke opens his man bag. Bonds I don't know...

    You have to admit I have been pretty accurate.

  9. The media will probably cause Joe Sixpack to panic again. I can't tell to what extent of course. Just glad I went into majority cash from long term index holdings on the 28th. I'd venture to say spx 1100 will come rather quickly.

    I've gone more into precious metals. Because I think there will be hyperinflation to deal with it.
