 Level: 0 | Going by the threads, the user kevtsa, seems to have complete certainty that we´re heading for a colapse of economy and that gold is a solution. http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=236541 Does any of what he says makes sense? | |||||

 Level: 6 CS Original | Most of the doomers tend to listen to Wall Street's "contrarians", i.e., traders who tend to bet against trends and make money from fear or exuberance. Nothing wrong with that, but it paints a very one-dimensional picture where markets are much more efficient than they typically are, where traders follow structure more than appearance and where governments can do nothing to help. JREF has a bunch of these guys; afair they've never made any significantly insightful prediction and I don't really expect any of this to change within the near future. | |||||

 Level: 0 | Gold is always a solution to devaluation, at least looking at history of gold value (meassured in oil for example). The fact an economic collapse is emerging can in my opinion be seen in the fact that China seems to be 'dumping' dollars. Not on the financial markets, but by acquisition of 'solid' goods and commodities and investment in development projects. For example French wine castles, investments in African communities/production facilities (also called soft colonialism) etc. Although this does not proof an economic collapse will occur, it does show a decrease in dollar-portfolio, which should inevitably lead to more devaluation (apart from the intrinsic devaluation by simply printing too much). This could have serious impact, if only if you look at the collateral in for example the IMF (85% dollars) or most banks (who hold a similar size dollar-portfolio). | |||||

Level: 0 | Great contribution Elvis. What about argumenting your own opinion for once, instead of flaming other people's opinion. | |||||

 There ARE more sluts in public schools. Shut up and let me explain. Level: 8 CS Original | from all that i've seen the best investment in the economic collapse you can make is by selling books and other stuff on how it's going to happen and how to survive it. funny that all of this worthless paper floating around seems to mean a lot to all of the guys saying it's going to be worthless soon. | |||||
