I hope you have some good solid spread betting going on to clean out when all your predictions come true.

Oh, you don't? You mean these are just in-the-air?

That's a good point. If you really do know what's going to happen, there's almost certainly a way you can profit from it.

That's interesting you say that, because while I feel I've seen this coming (and have annoyed people for years to get into metals), at the same time, I'm not confident at all with exactly how it will all pay out. My gut says that if it's paper, it's worth paper. But really, I don't know.

not that i need to satisfy you, but i have seven figures in high yield bonds that are tax free. why are my bonds high yield? because i bought them when you and your other ham-and-egger friends were trying to figure out when GOOG would hit $1000...when instead you should have been cashing out. i'll definitely be ready for 20% t-notes with plenty of ammo, and you'll still be chump-change
