More Crisis Blogging

You thought Roubini

was extreme? Check

this guy out:

RHINEBECK, N.Y., Nov. 19 (UPI) — A financial crisis will likely send the

U.S. dollar into a free fall of as much as 90 percent and gold soaring to

$2,000 an ounce, a trends researcher said.

"We are going to see economic times the likes of which no living person

has seen," Trends Research Institute Director Gerald Celente said, forecasting

a "Panic of 2008."

Hm. If the dollar falls by 90% and gold rises to only $2,000 an ounce, wouldn’t

that mean that the value of gold will actually fall, significantly,

in any kind of non-dollar terms? Truly, gold is for optimists. I’m loading up

on Mad Max videos, for research purposes.
