With the accelerating debasement of fiat currencies combined with the death of free market capitalism back in 2008,the concept of retirement will be an alien concept in an another generation.One need only see MFGlobal and Cyprus as examples of what awaits the rest of world's wealth not yet outright confiscated via comp...more

Gold hasn't fallen,it's the same it has always been:a protector of purchasing power.In terms of the fiat dollar,yes it may be down,but that's because of clear manipulation in London at the LBMA and on the Comex.Moreover,articles like this are comical.Gold is not a stock to be bought low or sold high-it is money.You hol...more
