....more and more, gold is starting to look like a bubble to me...first came the dot com bubble, followed by the housing bubble and now the precious metals bubble.
The rise in gold is evidence of a currency bubble, IMO.

"The currency traders I know say that actually the Dong has been soft for quite a while..."Strange....The traders I know say a strong dong is poised to brutally push through higher resistance points soon.

My kids and I watched that movie so many times over the years that we knew most of the lines by heart. What a great movie.
