You are clueless, bhardy. If you look at a chart from the end of 2008 in every commodity, I want you to do this as your first research project about the markets ever: List what percent they are up and they will be up since December 31st, 2008. Here are the symbols you can look at: ZW, GC, YI, PA, ZC, ZW, QM, CL, NG, YG, and if you want to look at SLV and GLD instead of those, you can. Can you do that? I don't feel like arguing with somebody not familiar with Macroeconomics, or who has any idea what definitions of inflation are.
What is wrong with you? Why are you so desperate to prove how superior you are? The existance of inflation is clear. Will it result in a "catastrophic collapse of our financial systems?" No! Furthermore, we are nowhere even close to the inflation adjusted high price for gold. Gold still has a LONG way to go.
Well, we'll wait till the collapse comes, and if not this year we will see informational leakage about pre-released macro data and you'll start to see the market sell-off.
bhardy, the inflation is artificial because the fed has been printing $$$ . if you look at the whole global picture everywhere is slowing down . you said look at all the charts,yes, they all went up because the fed has been printing $$ that is why the market is distorted and artificial . the market is reacting to artificial manipulation by the fed. you have been seeing prices dropping on all commoditys now because the fed has not done any pumping lately . bp
And our cover. Again, that was the last call. We aren't covering our long because it's against the pairs trade, but we did cover our extra 3 holding 3 short still.
Nobody wants the planet to go into another depression. All the major powers around the world are going to do everything they can to stop this negative result. You might be very surprised to see how healthy the world economy will be 5 years from now. In the meantime, I am doing everything I can to learn how to generate a profit no matter what direction the markets chose to take. Don't assume the worst.
