Very well put and said in these resent post. Thank You for doing so.
Gaining a perspective of the bigger picture is a very important aspect as well.
The "currency peg" that the Swiss just dropped like a hot potato, ties into the bigger picture as well. The link included here does a very good job of explaining what most are not grasping in what and why there is such an effort to cover up the truth of true market values. This is affecting us all and trying to hide it is only making things worse and the Swiss just exposed it.
Trying to hide any longer, just got very complicated.

I will just stop here and let the article speak to the issue.
