The Paws that Refreshes?

Are you kidding me? Do you really think you can beat the printing presses, Mr. Bearshitter?
I’ll have you know Benjamin J. “Inky Hands” Bernanke has the fastest printing presses this side of the New York Times, albeit sans the egregious liberal editorial slant.
No, no, Benjamin B. is tres efficient, as he does not even have to consort with learing Thomas Jefferson’s $2 bill. His only mandate — keep the river of Washingtons, Lincolns, Hamiltons, Jacksons, Grants and Benjamin Franklins flowing to the far corners of the globe in exchange for chintzilly made novelty aprons and Irish crystal.
Our mandate, however, is to scoop as much of that flow as remotely possible, and convert it into hard assets, bunker-builder style. Gold. Silver. Platinum.
Enjoy this rebound, friends. There may be much more to it. Personally, I see the dollar — [[UUP]] starting to wear down here, and drop precipitously. Soon it will well on it’s way to continue it’s long term downtrend. That should boost stocks no end.
Just remember, it’s an artificial boost, and those equities are just not worth what you thought they were. Don’t become wed to a name, unless you plan to hold it for the duration. Duration, in this case is more than 10 years.
Only [[UPS]] and [[MON]] fit that description for me. I even expect the golds ([[GDX]], [[RGLD]], [[ANV]]) and silvers ([[SLW]], [[PAAS]] and [[EXK]]) to die off sooner than those two.
I also like [[EGO]] and [[IAG]] here. Attend!
