We have been in a general BULL market in commodities since about 1999 and it has clearly been identified by the declining USD and the continual rise in Gold and Silver.

This will cause a loss of confidence in the USD and a continuing decline in the standard of living in the West.

The western world MUST learn to SAVE, not consume with credit and live beyond ones means. BK
