Cash is the only place to be over the next couple of years.

This is exactly what Harry Dent says in his recent book, "The Great Crash Ahead". We are entering/already in a deflationary period, not inflationary. Notice what has happened to the price of homes over the past few years?

Stocks and commodities will go down, cash is the place to be.

"Notice what has happened to the price of homes over the past few years? "

US Real Estate is THE single largest asset class in the world, by far.

Follow it and you will know where we are going macro-economically.

We HAD one big inflation from '95 to '07. Big one.

Now the bubble has burst.

Sure, central banks will try to prop things up...but for the next couple of years we are in for inexorable, grinding deflation...and have been for 3 years already.

Eventually central banks will resort to issuing checks for $10,000 for every man, woman and child on the planet. About 6 months before that is when you want to buy metals.
