How Close Are We to Economic Collapse?
Bolobaby ^ | 10/14/2010 | Bolobaby

The recent silver price action has me spooked. I've been telling friends and family that if silver breaks $24, that's a bad omen. I base this on the fact that the 30 year high was in the 23s and I expected silver to meet strong resistance just shy of $24.

In the earlier morning hours, silver nearly teased $25. It's fallen since then, but it *has* broken the $24 barrier with a fair amount of confidence.

So, given that, the prospect of QE2, the continued dollar drop, ridiculously low bond yields, etc, etc...

How close are we to economic collapse? Who wants to make a prediction?

Let's gets some specifics here. The manner in which you see it unraveling and the time frame for the collapse. Should I be packing my truck?

I think the thirty year high was in 1980, and it peaked at 51, if my memory is accurate.

If the collapse comes in the next few weeks, they may have to cancel the elections ...

You need to start a ping list so we get a heads up when it happens.

How do you define a collapse?

I don’t know about a collapse, but 2011 might be an ugly year.

Just substitute the United States for Argentina and the ‘banging of pots and pans’ for gunfire and this is what it will look like:

Scary prospect, huh?

Yeah - I’ve watched that video a couple of times already. I think we’re heading there, the question is *when*.

As long as NCAA football and NFL season is not cancelled the clueless sheep will be happy. As long as they have TV they will be happy slaves.

He is at LEAST three feet off the ground. OSHA would tell you how dangerous that is.
