Gold mining stocks have not gone up as much as gold, this means that their are plenty of people that are scared of investing in gold for long term, in bubbles, people think the prices will continue to rise and would have invested in those stocks. A very bearish thing for gold would be if real interest rates were to raise but Bernanke has committed to keeping them low. Also, Goldline's annual sales are about $500 million, a rather small part of the gold market, and remember the gold they sell is highly overpriced. Beck's audience is hardly bidding golds price up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279973426476621559.post-84700164792950116612011-08-29T01:08:42.544-04:002011-08-29T01:08:42.544-04:00Legendary tulip bubble is a more apt term.

Basically a book on the history of risk and it's management.<br /><br />Neither are the first time I've read about the bubble, and neither will be the last I'm sureNatehttp://congressshallmakenolaw.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279973426476621559.post-52296286477139857672011-08-26T10:20:35.150-04:002011-08-26T10:20:35.150-04:00A higher valuing of grad school for students, yes,...A higher valuing of grad school for students, yes, but a lowering value for employers.<br /><br />Education has become an arms race.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427964335321253510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279973426476621559.post-54001565707018907912011-08-25T21:38:20.979-04:002011-08-25T21:38:20.979-04:00Gold can be sold off abruptly.

It is already happening, really - anyone who wants to stand above everyone else needs to continue their education to the next level.Michael Hawkinshttp://forthesakeofscience.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279973426476621559.post-26974067135422475352011-08-24T08:15:12.160-04:002011-08-24T08:15:12.160-04:00Perhaps instead of decade-old math, Latin and clas...Perhaps instead of decade-old math, Latin and classic literature textbooks - they can just use the abundance of free intellectual capital available online.<br /><br />I think the 21st century is one for the autodidacts too.
