Whoa.  That's way off base.

I'm not fat or a lady, but you are on the other hand quite nasty.

At some point you have to sell the gold.  You can't eat it.  Whether stock certificates or gold, you will end up with the same diluted dollars to buy your groceries.

Duh!  Maybe it will even get back to the level at which you recommended people buy it last year.  It's got a long ways to go yet before those poor souls recover their mistimed investment.

You were one of the lucky ones that happened to follow a couple of his few correct calls.

Ah, crap!  I sold all my stocks, bought a load of puts and bought gold like Anthony has been advising since last year.  Now I'm broke!

The US economy and investment is not going to fall off a cliff as long as the rest of world continues to be FAR worse off.  It may not be pretty, but the US is still the premiere safe haven for investment.

It's easy to blame Obama, as if the Republicans have a clue.  Neither side has a frickin' idea what to do.  They are so locked into their own worn out ideas and protecting their power, and serving their donors, that solutions to our financial woes are the last thing on their minds.

The teaser for this article was WHY the Obama recovery has failed.  I don't see anything resembling an explanation.  This is typical of a Mirhaydari  doom and gloom piece.  He's been calling everything a failure for a year or so.  Hope you didn't follow his advice last year and buy gold.
