Buy Gold


What happens if you send a trillion dollars or so chasing after reasonably-priced assets?

OOPS:
The analysis of this paper suggests that recent credit market prices are actually highly consistent with fundamentals. A structural framework confirms that bonds and credit derivatives should have experienced a significant repricing in 2008 as the economic outlook darkened and volatility increased. The analysis also confirms that severe mispricing existed in the structured credit tranches prior to the crisis and that a large part of the dramatic rise in spreads has been the elimination of this mispricing.

I've been waiting for step two in this financial strategy for months now. I've got my large pile of gold, so what do I hoard next? Guns, or non-perishable foodstuffs?
