Is anyone else as tired as I am of being at the mercy of passwords???
Bad enough you have to log in, but now every system logs you out automatically when you’re not looking.
Bad enough you have to set up a password, but then you have to keep changing it; and you don’t REALLY have the password for 3 months, because the system begins reminding you to change it after only 2-1/2 months, so you either change it or suffer the irritating messages every time you log in for 2 weeks (“Your password will expire in 9 days. Do you wish to change it now?).
And don’t even get me started when you log in correctly and the system tells you that you didn’t!
There’s a big debate about whether anything other than physical gold is ‘real’ enough, jessi. All a bit angels on the head of a pin for me, so best to ask the guy that bought physical gold, m4l, to chime in.
If the world gets that crazy you’re probably better off buying guns / canned food / shacks in the mountains!
maybe if checked nyc.gov website where you can pay parking tix can check if have one. But I doubt this mornings would be on database yet.
Did other cars on the block have tix…or was your friend the only offender this morning?
Yes, others have but not to the same degree as the US. Japan was the first to do this sort of thing but wasn’t very successful.
The raionale for gold being so strong is based on the assumption that there will be a ‘race to the bottom’ of competitive devaluations. Meaning that paper money becomes worth less relative to real assets – dona’s point about asset price inflation. Gold is seen as a sort of ultimate real asset, for historical reasons more than anything.
Thanks, Dave, Dona & Etson. Do other countries buy their own debt? Or they can’t get away with it (or don’t want to inflate their currency – like China).
When I was a kid I asked why we couldn’t just print $ and give it to the homeless. Inflation was the answer I was given. So I’ll stay tuned.
My ‘probably’ caveat meaning that there may have to be a bailout if Eurozone governments want to save the Euro. The alternative would be to let weaker countries leave / devalue / reflate.

Good day, sir. I said, “Good day, sir.”

Thanks, Etson. So then is it sort of ironic that people are trading gold derivatives?

Yes, what etson says about Europe. I forgot that small detail about one currency/ multiple countries!!!!!
