The Zimbabwe, Peter Schiff argument is getting so played out Derrick.

We all know that the US stock market is in the shitter. However, you need to use your head and realize that "hyperinflation" is not a possibility in the country. Fed policy of increasing interest rates under Volcker, 100's of trillions of off book derivatives, the reverse multiplier effect... the list goes on...

[endlessmountain]

The assumption I am using is hyperinflation is very possible as a manifestation from the dollar collapse.

I live my life knowing the dollar collapse will happen and what manifestations can happen from this has many variants to it.

Will people stop accepting this money? What will be the end results from many street riots.

What will be the result of asset hoarding?

These are questions I try answering every now and again. And excess money does = inflation in my books.

SO in my opinion, the only things to own are TBT UDN GLD SLV and no stocks

[endlessmountain]

to me those are stocks, and there are many more to own along the way also. FAZ (3x financ) is like DGP (double gold) and that is a play i think is a good one.

I also like options for hedging, shorting and even a small amount for hyper inflation on stocks. Options on gold suck that I refuse to buy options on gold

[OpenMind00]

So its difficult to short then if you can get smashed with +10,000 in DJX

[endlessmountain]

i dont believe in shorting.

Only long ETFs that are inverse funds like FAZ and DXD and options using PUTS

Thats it!

[dwfierce]

You are so level headed, clear thinking and obviously unafraid to call it like it is brother. Keep up the good work. I like your no nonsense approach and use of analogies.

thank you

[RedFishEye]

Exactly! The mainstream media has been calling a bottom in the market for weeks. How on earth could they project consumer confidence to roughly the same level as last month?

By the way, home sales are going to rise dramatically this month and they are going to make it seem totally unexepected once again. They are going to call a bottom in housing even though we are far from it. We are being set up for a huge market crash at some point.

[wellingtonsc75]

We are living in strange times.

[Astrocreep69]

No, If you read my posts I mention the estimated 580 Trillion off book derivatives.

Yes, your right it is unsustainable, I never said it was.

I'm just trying to help you guys realize that this nation/economy will be brought to its knees by deflation and higher interest rates.

'Hyperinflation' is not in the cards.

[NowisEvollovetion]

Endless,

When the Govt is trying to create an ILLUSION, through the use of a survey.

And they know BEFORE they even start doing the survey, what type of ILLUSION they want to create.

There is 'NO NEED' to ask too many people.

The MAJORITY will believe the survey anyway.

'DAFFY DUCK' is more clued up than the MAJORITY of people.

A description of the MAJORITY is,

Read SHIT, watch SHIT, think SHIT, drink BEER, watch PORN, MOAN AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR LIFE (but do NOTHING).

[liaq954044]

keep reporting,try to stay sane , constant filtering of mainstream media can make you question reality!, mass deception from humans?

[martialarm]

And will the paycheck continue? I think not. All will disappear.

[bnash2002]

if i had a government/state/public job i would really be wondering where my paycheck is actually coming from.

[DavidAKZ]

Aren't you forgetting the as yet unknown extent of losses in the derivatives markets otherwise known as toxic assets. ? With a GDP comprising of 70% consumerism and 20% military spending which equates to fat people with three tv's ,two cars with debt that cannot be serviced and much hated projection of military power across the globe, I can't say the situation appears sustainable.

[DavidAKZ]

What is DJX thanks ?

[DavidAKZ]

Then as an investor, to attempt to preserve capital buy tangible assets. Gold / Silver, real estate ? Lack of understanding of the liqidity of markets trouble me.

[DavidAKZ]

care to expand ?
