Another Day Of Dollar Index And Gold Both Rising...

At least you are reading the history, so you can see where this is all going and therefore take whatever actions you need to get past this part of history. And you won't be caught with your pants down when something "unexpected" (unexpected by those with their heads in the sand) happens. It won't be unexpected to you because you already knew it "could" happen.

I agree, Hawk. Things like this could very well be one of those first tiny cracks in the dam. Ignoring them is usually not a good idea. Part of me is sympathetic to the protesters, even if they do act like the hippies of the 60s. There really are legitimate grievances about the economy, business, and, oh, yes, the banks. Problem is, government is in this up to their eye-balls, so blaming business for ALL of our problems is not realistic. Places in the world that are doing well also have business going on but they don't seem as intent on licensing, regulating, and taxing it to death... while we are... and we are receiving our just reward for those efforts. Not saying that we don't need enough regulation to provide a level business playing field for all or that we can have a government without paying some tax to fund it. What I am saying is that we have taken some good basic ideas to extreme and that rarely ever works as well in the real world as it does on paper. Right now, the academics are in charge, so it's a paper world made in their image. :-/
