And brazil has a big surplus in trade balance! And reserves WAY bigger than any other country in SthAmc! And its territory is bigger than ALL other countries in SthAmc together, without snow, earthquakes, vulcanos, etc! And a climate that grows anything you plant! And we have a well stablished democracy, HUGE reserves of oil, 80% of the water in the continent, HUGE ore deposits, big gold and silver mining, etc. I like his writing very much, but he'd be way better off investing in Brazil instead of Argentina (which is a country with a sorry state of affairs, as long as we're concerned). Talk about lack of hindsight!

And please don't say place it all in gold or gold funds. I still believe in diversification. So where should one put there money? Stocks look shaky (at least US stocks) and treasuries are shaky too.

So the dollar will be weak, but the Euro too, and of course the British pound/Austalian dollar as well - all same reason: budget deficits running to the moon. So the million-dollar question will be: what currency will be the weakest? Here in Bulgaria, EU, we have exactly the same problems as in the US: budget deficits running our of control.

Good for the soft-headed or soft-hearted, bad for any meaningful discussion. Even if I constantly rip the Chinese, agree with Mogamnbo that gold and silver are the best investments of hard-earned money, a simple slip of any real conversation on the comment pages causes an untimely deletion of one's rant. Pathetic. I guess the editors are bracing for the neo-fascist age by dropping an hilarious and unique forum for a dumbed-down soft comment area for, well, the soft-headed. What can I say. I still check in! lainvestorgirl, if you’re there:
