Europeans are rushing into dollars and the US stock market now and out of Euros...this strengthens both but both are destined to collapse for another set of reasons.
Makes sense to me.
Buy precious metals now while they're cheap?
I'll give the author 90%. We can see all this coming because it's been comming for a while. Whether the big doom hits precisely on 12/21 or not is debateable, but we know 2012 is in a high speed downward spin. Why the troops are being brought home is also debateble be it Mr. Nobel Peace Prize is on the campaign trail, we finally realized it was a lose-lose situation, or those detention centers need filling or a combination of the above. All I know for certain is my dollar has bought less and less last year. Yesterday, the car insurance rose considerably and I noticed more smaller packaging of products at the same old price at the grocery store - 9 oz packages of cookies instead of pound packages at $2.50-$3.
