  • Shouldn't you start a new poll, since a lot of people answered already about whether it would hit LAST YEAR?

    I voted Yes.
  • Not likely. Possible, but I wouldn't bet on it even with good odds.

    A recovery to 950 would be a solid platform and one we could, and should, all be happy and satisfied with.

    But I'm not betting on even that at this point.

    I will go on the record as no. It could very well get back up to
    900 though but without frenzy news to keep it there it will take
    the downward trend to a more stable price.

    The news of banks failing cannot happen forever. Only a few left ;-)
    9000 to 4500 or what not.

    Well, only a "few" maga banks to go through, half a dozen or so. Don't forget that with all the mergers over the years, we've effectively taken down hundreds of "banks" already. But I'd expect hundreds more smaller banks...and potentially thousands could follow. It will take years to go through them all, but go through them derivatives will. Sort of like taking a laxative. A 1,000 seems like a fair number since the govt is usually off by at least a magnitude in their estimates of what things will ultimately cost.

    Sinclair was right in that we could/should be at $1200 by year's end. The fact that the FED has taken some astounding actions to postpone that doesn't change anything. We still get there, and ultimately to $1500+ and whatever comes after that.

    Agreed. However, I see more like 1400 banks failing, with a few more big ones to grab the headlines.

    Of course, I also see tent cities popping up as the foreclosures really crank up next year.

    Looks like the FDIC fund is running low right now as well.

    Sinclair is right, but it's just going to take a bit longer IMO.

    See you guys have good arguements that i partly think are correct.
    I just see you as TOO optimistic for the short term. Saying tent
    cities will pop up is a bit too much for me. These people who are
    walking away from homes they could not afford will simply go back
    to renting like before. They will make zero attempt at paying off their
    debt. They just ruin their credit and start from scratch.

    If i lost my job today i would go find any job i could get tomorrow.
    It is not beneath me to work at a gas station for 10 bucks an hour.
    That is enough to pay rent, the car payment, and put food on the
    table. If i had kids I would probably have to take another part time
    job too. This is life for many people. When the going gets tough and
    all that. Most of the US is not like Compton CA where you have rampant
    leisure time among the population if you know what i mean ;-)

    Please do not ruin your excellent debate points by going over the
    top with it.
  • Bad credit means you won't be able to rent, at least not in a decent neighborhood and certainly not in an apartment.

    They are all tied in together with the credit bureaus.

    Yes, tent cities are in our future. Maybe not millions of people, but enough to make the headlines.

    There is really no other answer unless the Government puts a holiday on mortgage payments for a year to 18 months.

    I just don't see that happening.

  • gold is still cheap.
  • I would say at a minimum $925, maybe more. 'Tis the season...

    It might be $1000 if the stock market keeps going down, if the S&P drops to about 1000 then gold will pass $1000.

    I think it will be at $1000 and then some.

    It should have settled there long ago..........................IMHO!!

    I'm still waiting for an anti-gold pundit to average up all those annual gold prices from 1837-2008, and "prove" gold a poor investment over the past 171 years and of course going forward.

    And the answer is..........?

    I think this Xmas may be a bit too optimistic, although I have no doubts that gold will reach $1000 sometime in the near future (one to three years) and also much higher than $1000.

    The PPT and the Central Banks are pulling out all the stops to prop up currencies and bring down commodities and that is why I think it's too soon to happen.
