I don't think I am naive to believe sending money outside of the U.S. and buying foreign products will help the economy or make me a fortune. I'm with the "short gold" or even copper. Save those pennies or buy up those deserted mines. The big penny meltdown may be a coming.And I don't lol. World economics is a little like your pool game. If you've live through it once the second time might be a little easier. lol Hey I need an avatar and have no clue how to do it. So be sure to listen to my marketing advise.
