As we have long argued on this blog.  We are staring into a deflationary abyss, not an inflationary one as others believe.  The safest asset class in this environment is precious metals (Yes, I know gold just dropped, but it is the ultimate extinguisher of debt so we must be patient).

Good luck to all.
