If looking at the 14 year chart for gold/silver http://www.kitco.com/scripts/hist_charts/yearly_graphs.plx it looks like a bubble, if looking at stock price vs. earnings (real, not manipulated) it looks like a bubble, looking at house prices it looks like a bubble, bonds and treasuries don’t yield much, so either we are in japan mode or poised for a depression, neither of which makes me feel good, or hopefully I’m wrong or missed something. One could probably make some money based on market volatility although riskier than is was a few years ago.
