I bought a few homes earlier this year. I am pretty sure that I could get a better deal near the end of 2012, but I didn't want to sit on USD until then. I was quite uncomfortable earlier this year when gold and silver were on a tear so I jumped (and missed out on the BTC spike due in part to being busy with that stuff. I would almost certainly be sitting on whatever I had accumulated at that time but I would have gotten in cheaper and probably would have gone mining.)
good luck with those homes. hopefully for you we don't go into the 2nd wave of deflation. everyone assumes the Bernank will inflate away their debt. i'm betting against that.
I bet you a couple of bitcoins that Bernanke will keeps monetizing government debt (whether it calls it QE3 or gives it another name is irrelevant). Deal?
LOL! only a fool would bet against the fact that he will try.
But i will bet you that it doesn't work. we'd have to come up with a timeframe and a measure of success or failure. how about we bet that GDP goes negative by the end of 2012?
