Gold: The Barbarous Relic You Can Trust

Bill Bonner — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:13:36 +0000

pOh…we are such optimists! So far, the Crash of ’09 has paralleled the Crash of ’29…and the Crash of 1873. /p pAll three began in early September. All three saw the big selling in late October.

He says it’s not hard to imagine another round of global rate cuts and a massive stimulus package in the US. And then there is the ‘Obama effect’. In other words, if you don’t want to own these equities now, why bother being in the market at all?

This from The Daily Reckoning Australia:

Around noon yesterday here at the Old Hat Factory, a little daemon whispered in your editor’s ear, “The bottom is in for the year of the ASX.”
