Calvin's comment: It's amazing how the possibility of $2000 gold is making news in the popular press. Such talk was reserved for the "fringe" news boards and goldbug sites until recently. The gold bull is gaining momentum as we speak.

Where PPI Goes, CPI is Sure to Follow 0000-00-00 00:00:00 July 21, 2008

What I expect from the mortgage and credit market meltdown is a bunch of 'zombie' companies that are technically insolvent but as a result of efforts to forestall failure, the government will "bailout" these companies in an effort to stabilize markets. This will in effect cause a prolonged liquidation scenario such as the one Japan experienc
