I'm assuming a drop.

You got it Perryhall. Got EUO? Euro down 4% in the last week. Now trading just under or on MAJOR support of the 200dma, uptrendline from the June 2010 low and price support of the May and July 2011 lows. Sustained action under 140 leads to 130, in which case the dollar should trade to at least 77, which will then test the resolve of the dollar bears.
Swissy at 1.17. Ouch. Looks like the Swiss citizens have lost their chance at that cheap condo in Miami. Now they be stuck with swampland in Venice.
Yeah, bubbles always look obvious once they're popping and afterwards
No time for rearranging deck chairs around Baleyville; but the scientific symposium in California yielded two stock investments and a private equity venture
Gold stores capital very well, and lately has been growing in value vs. other asset classes and most stocks, not just "storing" but appreciating because it's gains have outpaced inflation by a wide margin (if a goldbug doesn't admit to at least a little "once in a generation metal mania" this time then maybe he's deluding himself a bit)
One should always consider regression toward the long term mean as a possibility, especially for unusual spikes and plummets in a currency or commodity that has a long history
Silver all-time peaked at the equivilent of $800/oz in Europe in the 1400's
I think there is no doubt that gold is the new safehaven. Currencies will rise and fall as central banks manipulate them. Currency traders will continue to profit, or lose, from the moves. Gold continues to reflect the results of the central bank efforts.

The Swiss capped their currency at 1.20 to the Euro. They said they will not let it raise any higher. Gold was sold off to mitigate the losses in the Swiss trade.
The Swissy got ripped a new one today. Self induced. MJ

I'm not worried about members of this board, we're a pretty sharp crowd.

There's absolutely no leadership from any corner. All the big shots are too busy trying to get a bigger piece of what's left to even think about our problems. There's only a lit- tle more than a year left in Obama's presidency and not one more inner city child can read now than could read three years ago. This is our biggest problem in this country and could be fixed in less than six weeks with draconian action.

I can agree with you. No sense in worrying about the inevitable collapse of the US $. I'm just keeping long gold and silver and other hard assets. Makes me sleep like a baby.

After all, he points out that gold is up 31% already.

It's getting harder to find a place to hide.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Is that really the goal in life? to hide?
wrap yourself in bubble wrap and sit still in a chair in the middle of a room...
sure, you'll be "safe", but is that any kind of life? is it healthy and growing?
