Oh and by the way...

A lot of people are gonna tell you to buy economically sensitive commodities. Here is why not.  Our government is pissing on itself to avert the Great Depression Part Deux. We are the biggest economy in the world.  See above "economically sensitive".  Yeah you get a boost from our government printing dollars (dollar down, dollar denominated commodities go up definitionally). However, they are doing this because the US is staggering...and de-coupling of the global economy from the US economy is a myth.

So buy that non-sensical worthless metal, gold...because it fact it is used for nothing useful, other than Italian horns around the necks of Staten Island's best.
