1st the DOT.COM's, 2nd housing, the next bubble will be ...

... the very 'US Dollar' itself, thanks to Ben Bernanke's fabricating multiple trillions of them at will, ultimately with no economic foundation for justification (I.E, real GDP growth within true wealth creating enterprises) to support them. Just wait until they eventually find their way out of the banks and into our hands. Can you imagine how worthless they will soon become when that becomes the reality? I can sense the inflation already.

Just my opinion.

I agree it is a possibility, but I try to avoid the dwelling of gloom and doom of things that are not in my control at the moment. I will watch and learn as much as I can then vote as I believe will do the most good. In the mean time I am doing as much as I can to cut expenses and debt, I am not an extreme preper by any stretch but feel its always necessary to be ready for any disaster.

Agreed...but his presentation is much more palatable!

Whoa there! I just read a lot and try to make the jumbled dots line up sensibly and logically, all the while believing that the key to everything is to believe that reality is real and therefore things are as they appear (I sense that most people do not believe this, rather believing that hope, change, prayer, thought, emotions, someone, something, etc... can somehow bend reality). I believe that Ben Bernanke, the President, and Congress all believe that they can bend reality.

I did however preface my take on this whole issue by stating it was only my opinion.

If you want someone to make you "feel" good, call your mother.

I'm more of a "Joe Friday" type of guy...."Just the facts ma'am"

I am a believer that if enough people believe in gloom and doom then it will happen, I just don't want to be part of the problem. I would rather be part of the reason it doesn't happen.

Not a matter of feeling good....I don't see very many "FACTS" posted on your behalf to invoke anything other than hate and discontent!

I was in a union for 10 years. Stirring up "hate and discontent" was part of my job classification.

And you are proud of that ?

Everybody has to be good at something. Clearly I can push people's buttons.

I can see that.
