precious metals will always have value, but you cant eat them. good idea to have some cash for short term locallized emergency. for the main event cash is useless IMHO unless used for fire tinder.

i thought the recent siutation in Cyprus was interesting too. thats the sort of thing that could cause a run on banks. its also a sign of how desperate the governments are for increased revenue (taxes). they tax when the money is earned, tax when something is purchased, and now tax again if you dare put it in the "safety" of the bank. all in the name of fairness and equality. means everyone except the priviliged are equally miserable. sorry, i'll get off the soap box now.

anyway, i see these signs and many others, such as governments moving around extremely large amounts of physical gold, as signs something is going on. the financial markets are hitting record highs. why? is the economy booming? are companies hiring? are wages increasing? looks like a bubble to me.
