There is only ONE factor that is keeping ....
the equity markets going higher. Any guesses? The correct answer in my opinion is interest rates. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How are all of these countries that are printing/selling money sometimes to themselves as in the U.S. at basicallly zero percent going to pay a much higher interest when inflation inevitably kicks in? The U.S. will have about $18 trillion in debt by the end of this year. U.S. GDP was $15.7 trillion last year and we are supposedly gowing at 2 to 3% per year. We better be growing at zero rates. I realize that global economic growth can absorb some of this but I think we are way beyond the point of any easy fix. Maybe if we had 10,000 Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos (he is Cuban by the way) about to create 600k jobs per month for 5 years in the U.S. this problem can begin to be controlled. In simple terms. The more they keep printing, the more insolvent we become. If they (the world )stops printing I do not believe that there is anything remotely close to enough traction to get a global recovery going. Companies are beating estimates through cost cutting and productivity as we have seen that many have missed their revenue targets. In the long run only the top line grows a bisiness. The world is HOOKED on zero interest rates. If it were not for them we would have been in a global depression 5 years ago. The ordinary Joe Blow (not being derogatory by any means as I wish I was him for the past three years) does not see this and keeps pumping money into their 401k and the market in general and has been correct. In the long run however things have a way of balancing out, becoming rational and finding a correct historical balance.

GF---As you well know , no one can predict the future....especially the price of gold....Not me , not you or any one else....My last post was just to acknowledge that I was in agreement with Tony's line of thinking.....The use of the word "tomorrow" was meant to convey an indefinite time in the near future....Sorry if you misinterpreted it to mean Tuesday , May 14....

Parks is far from in the know... We all know that. Just don't understand why you are so bitter and angry. I have called you half as many times as you have called me, but over the last 1.5 years or so you have lost it and I don't trust nor believe you or anything you say. This stock has brought out the worst of you...
