I tend to think that this bear market is worse than 74/75. I would recommend reading Jim Willie's comments on the Kitco website. These are interesting times. I expect shock after shock and increasing fear. I believe a revaluation of gold is coming. The only people who benefit from the current increase in the money supply are the Wall Street bankers as they hoard cash. Sooner or later they will have to decide what to do with all that fiat money. This will evolve quickly considering the speed of today's markets.
