I’ve checked three different lenders and none of them know anything about this. Does anyone know of a lender offering these rates?

Does anyone have any suggestions on good shorting candidates at this time? What are you guys looking at today? I’ve been in and out of CFC a few times and made some money. LEND, AHM and others crashed in the last couple of days. What is out there today that I can put some money into Puts on? What’s next??

Does inflation really drive the price of gold? A lot of people think it does, however, Michael Shedlock (Mish) does a pretty good analysis of it on his blog and he doesn’t come to the same conclusion.

http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2007/02/is-gold-inflation-hedge.html

Here’s his conclusion at the end of the article:

Final Thoughts

Gold in many timeframes is not much of an inflation hedge.
In terms of real price, gold is a better deflation hedge than an inflation hedge. The reasons…

Gold is money. Proof of that statement can be found in the market behavior of gold. The markets treat gold as if it was money (not only now but on a historical basis). On that basis gold must be considered money regardless what the central banks say.
Money is worth more in terms of other goods and services during periods of deflation. During periods of disinflation “cash is trash” and that helps explain why gold dropped from over 800 to 250 even though we had a positive (although falling) rate of inflation for much of that timeframe.

Gold is stateless and has no liabilities attached to it. It is the only money that won’t be touched by whatever measures the authorities decide to take to combat deflation.
In addition to being a deflation hedge, gold may also play a role in a panic flight to safety scenario. For example: If the US dollar were to suddenly collapse and/or if fiat currencies were totally repudiated in general, gold would be a huge beneficiary.

Given the current underlying conditions, with increasing chances of a deflationary credit implosion related to housing, along with some chances of a collapse in the dollar, Yen, or fiat currencies in general, the incentive to store wealth in the form of gold is massive.

Lipstick on a pig… Dressing the pig?

I’ve heard these terms used to describe trying to make something look better to sell it.

Like painting over the leak stains on your ceiling instead of fixing the roof, etc…

I think it’s really odd that this topic came up on this form, I follow another investing form and this same topic has come up and been discussed by some sharp minds on that forum as well. There is a lot of talk of a 9/11 conspiracy and for quite a while I was thinking the people posting on that forum had gone off the deep end. Their premise is that the “Elite” are in control and are hearding the sheople into giving up more and more of their civil rights. You can read the rest of that here:

Then at their suggestion, I went and watched the Loose Change video by Alex Jones:

That video raises some good questions about the evidence of 9/11. Go check it out. I’d like to hear what more people have to say about it.
