Judging by the number of recommends to the last post, it appears that there are quite a few of us in, or approaching the senior years. Most, if not all financial advisors will tell you that the older you get the less risk you should take with your portfolio. The problem I have is, I truly believe that the biggest risk at the moment is fiat currency. If you want to talk about a bubble, look no farther than the US Treasury market. Maybe the corrupt bankers, backed by corrupt (or inept) politicians can kick the can down the road until they own everything on the planet, however I do not see the game continuing too much longer. My prediction is that we will see everything collapse after the bankers secure all of Europes gold reserves. They will do this by taking it for collateral on all of their forced bailouts.
