Greg’s Note: Prices are rising as the dollar falls, and an economic slowdown has done little to stave off massive inflation. The economic policies of the central bank seem to only be making matters worse as new imports and lower production have led to overall rises in the price of many goods. Gold and Options Trader’s Ed Bugos blames the Fed’s policies and shortsightedness for many of these problems. 04/03/2008 - Bernanke Targets Gold
Greg’s Note: When Gold and Options Trader Ed Bugos looks at the recent actions of the Fed, he doesn’t know what to think. Is the Fed trying to inflate, or is this all just smoke and mirrors? Is Ed’s original hunch correct, or is the mysterious voice he hears speaking the truth? 03/26/2008 - Option Strategies to Insure Your Portfolio

Greg’s Note: If the gold price is going to go down, it’s going to have to be dragged down kicking and screaming.

Greg’s Note: We keep hearing about how expensive gold is getting, but why? Is there a real use for this metal besides its assumed value?

Greg’s Note: What goes up must come down, right? We’ve been seeing gold shoot past historical levels the past few months.

Bugos thinks so. 09/12/2007 - The Ghost of 1933 Lives
