    If I have to choose among the three options (Real estate, cash, gold), I will choose real estate.

    1. Real estate: it is still over-valued, but not too much. If you need a place to live, buy one now by all means. If you plan to buy one for investment, it is not a bad idea.
    2. Cash: It has been clear that, in an effort to fend off deflation, the government has been (and will continue to be) printing money like crazy. Hyper-inflation will be here shortly after the current deflation phase is over. Unless you are very good at timing, I would not hold cash.
    3. Gold: gold is in a big bubble territory already, with hyperinflation taken into account already.

    how about gold? Nouriel Roubini was quoted a few months back saying gold COULD NOT break $1,200. Not sure what the context was. but he was pretty emphatic about it. Made me a little edgy.

    no one knows anything.

    I had recently read that a major MARKETWACTH columnist is the lead plaintiff in a class action against Madoff. Lost $3 million. That’s the MSM. Why in heck would anyone read anything the guy had to say?

    Never take direction from anyone. Listen. Think. DO what feels correct.
