A few thoughts on the state of things

[Sardo_Numpsa]

For the moment would feel more comfortable holding gold/silver AND food.

Well I don't think governments can carry on trying to stimulate stagnating economies indefinitely by borrowing and printing more money, people aren't fooled.

Actually I think the real problem isn't even stagnation, it's that the economy needs less and less workers to produce the same amount of goods and services and no amount of government stimulation will bring those jobs back, hence the term "jobless recovery" we are hearing so often.

I'll stop pretending to be an economist now = )

I'm not a fan on JD either but struck me as something which is well recognised and therefore easily tradeable.
