As I write this, the price of gold is $773/oz (the lowest that I have seen it since 2006). Just six months ago, it was peaking at about $1000/oz. The value of the dollar has gone up. The price of gas has gone down. Yet, banks are failing left and right (not to mention the Fannie/Freddie bailout) and the unemployment rate is at its highest.
Countrywide announced that they (again) will do 100% financing for home loans as long as the buyer is purchasing a foreclosed home that is owned by Countrywide. (In other words, Countrywide is the lender and the seller). I hear that Citi is about to roll out a program that gives 100% financing to qualified buyers with a credit score above 730.
What do you think are the reasons for this "economic turbulance"? Is it related to the economic stimulus checks (fiat money), speculators selling off commodities, etc.? Also, which direction do you think that the country is headed in (both short and long term)?
