Reading history and know that history repeats itself if you will we are headed to repeat history in the coming months or years. In 1929 there was a stock market crash,well hold on to your paper because I think we are headed there again. My prediction in April of this year yes just a few months away we will see the stock market lose 40 to 50 %. Not a complete crash but its going to hurt. You will end up that everyone will pull there money that they have left out of the market and then a total fall . At that point people will be buying gold and silver at a rapid rate drive the cost those metals through the roof. Hipper inflation will then follow. We had a president in 1929 that kept saying every thing is getting better and did nothing. Then when the new president came in even though the fed at that time had money to flood the economy they didn't do it thus the great depression. Now we have the same thing happening and it will happen this year or next stock market will crash but this time the fed will flood the country with money till they become broke and then the powers to be will have eliminated the Federal Reserve. We learn from history because what happened yesterday will happen again,plans for the future are formed that way. I hope I am totally wrong. Another thought is if what I have said happens it would be a great way for the democratic party no for obama to postpone the presidential election this year because of a crisis,remember never miss a good crisis and take advantage of it. Remember the stock market is looking good right now well pretty good and that is what happened to the common joe in the 20's they invested and then lost every thing. If you read this read it with thought before you comment. Remember last year when the fed dumped a bush of money into the economy people don't really understand how close we were to this at that time. Oh by the way obama has wanted to get rid of the Federal reserve for some time.
