"The commercial RE crash is overdue. So is the upcoming consumer credit crash."I just wonder how many "shoes" are left to fall on our heads? China's switch from Treasurys buyer to seller? The west's rejection of the Dollar as world standard? And that's not even considering wars and rumors of wars.

I'm afraid there's almost no way we won't see it all.

Got gold? Better not -- Treasury and Bernanke have at least one more shot in them, to take down gold against the dollar. Then, that'll be it. They'll be like Custer at Little Big Horn after that.

The techies who write on Minyanville.com and Financialsense.com are talking near-term downleg in precious metals lasting a couple-three months, and then they like silver just an awful lot (more than gold).
