Guess The Close! Win This 100,000,000,000,000 Note

Right now, markets are on a knife's edge as Europe's debt crisis continues to spiral out of control with no end in site. This weekend brings several events which many investors may want to de-risk before:

The UK remains in a hung parliament scenario, with negotiations ongoing to see who will form the next government Germany has local elections this weekend which will determine support for Chancellor Merkel heading into negotiations about the Greece bailout. European leaders are holding crisis talks over a bailout system for Europe's troubled states. Guess the Dow close in the comments and win a $100 trillion Zimbabwe note!

Closest wins!

The blazeningly simple answer for Europe is to throw Greece out of the Euro. This does two things: (1) allows the rest of Europe to invest for their future instead of Greeces, and (2) it puts some teeth into Euro monetary discipline. One other benefit, it forces Greece to deal with itself instead of thinking that it can palm off its troubles to other tax payers. With all that said, it will be the last thing the EUiees do.

When NObama & Biden seize all prevate retirement accounts—401-K’s- Ira’s-Keogh’s-Roth Ira’s—the market will go below 5000-perhaps as low as 3500.

My predictions. I stand behind it.

I have a half dozen 100,000,000,000,000 mint Zimbabwe notes. I bought the group of them on EBAY for five US dollars.

I probably overpaid for them by about $4.60, but they make me laugh so it was worth it.

I also have a big stack of Saddam Hussein money.
