My bottom line:
1) Currency trades: Some diversification to safeguard against a cataclysmic US$
collapse is a good idea, but too early to predict dollar trends. One predictor
for this is US bond yields.
2) Gold: look for inflation signals. If there is inflation, buy gold/dump
dollar.
3) New technologies: Strong on smart grid technologies in short/medium term.
Strong on solar/wind in medium/long term. Strong on clean water long term.
Nice post, Marlon.
Made interesting reading even though it is a US centric view point.
Others see things slightly differently.
1) The US is printing money as though it is running out of trees and Hussien
bin Obama promises more of the same.
There is only one consequence of printing more money, it becomes less valuable,
and that guarantees inflation.
Gold does extremely well in inflationary times and sometimes even when there is
the prospect of inflation.
2) The time to invest in gold, or any thing else for that matter, is when you
hear people say, "Prices are so low, I could puke."
Buying gold after inflation signals are confirmed, is rewarding those who
bought early for their astuteness. Thank you.
3) Throughout history, when nations go to war, the currencies of both the
victor and the vanquished get debauched. The first
Afghanistan war caused the Rubble and later the USSR to collapse. A similar
fate awaits the US if the politicians don't come
to their senses on the two bogus wars.
4) The US electric grid loses 50% of its energy while being transferred from
the producers to the consumers. If Obama tackles
this problem, it will be boom times again for the US. Secondly, Canadian and
European research institutions are bracing for what
Obama decides on research funding. If research funding is restored and
decisions for funding are made on non-religious views,
e.g. stem cell research, scientists and innovators will be lured back to US
institutions, immensely benefiting that economy.
5) Lastly, the US is currently losing 500,000 jobs PER MONTH. Nothing golden
about that. A golden future would be possible
only if the current administration does the exact opposite of the Bush (43)
administration. The exact opposite means:
a) Create new jobs
b) Cut military expenditure
c) Stop printing money
d) Increase taxes to balance the budget
This is the medicine the World Bank has been advocating to debtor nations for
the past 50 years.
If the biggest debtor nation is unable to take this medicine, it will get
sicker, much sicker before it recovers.
