Interest rates?

So...how long before the fed buckles to the reality of inflation and starts raising interest rates? Also, how high do you see the rates going?

I have no earthly idea.

yesterday - the fed signaled to the market that they were committed to low rates (at the expense of course to inflation) to continue spurring on economic growth...i don't see a move until at least 9 more months.

silver and gold have been on a tear since last weeks surprise comment from S&P on the creditworthiness of the US govt...gold has been bandied about the last several years as viable currency reserve substitutes...i believe the silver/gold spread will continue to narrow and i also believe we have yet to see the highs on each....stay tuned

I don't know what to think anymore. I just know that things are gonna get much worse before they get better.

i kinda agree wes...though the double-dip recession talk is kinda 'the sky is fallin' type talk these days...i honestly believe the fed will be willing to introduce another quantative easing round 3 if need be to prevent...but i agree - gonna get worse before it entirely gets better.

I was reading this article from the WSJ http://on.wsj.com/fNkXWL and it quoted someone saying that gold is priced 25% above where is should be.

Historically, gold has moved with the money supply. During the last 30 years, the correlation has been about 69%, according to FactSet data. (A correlation of 100% means two indexes move in lockstep all the time; a correlation of minus-100% means they move in perfect opposition.) Based on the money supply alone, gold is priced 25% above where it should be, says Russ Koesterich, chief investment strategist at BlackRock Inc.'s iShares.

Well when the shit goes down, at least we got a couple buckets full of silver coins to trade for a cow or chickens or whatever.
