Simms-
Yes; I'm back with another question.<g>
OK; now let me please ask this. Would
the cure for EITHER scenerio (inflationary
depression or deflationary depression)
be to dramatically cut both taxes and
spending? Or; would the cure be different for
each potential scenerio? I can't see ANY of
these politicians taking steps to do either. Tks for your
patience.

The first would
occur only if actions to stop the second one fail.

Tell-tale signs
of the second:
1) steepening
yield curve
2) widening
corporate vs. treasury bond spread
3) CRB index
declining
4) real estate
prices stall, then reverse
5) falling
equity prices
6) increased
bankruptcy levels

You wrote that: "once that

can't, wham, depression occurs..."
Is the scenerio then EITHER inflationary
depression OR deflationary depression;
assuming things got out of hand?

DEPRESSION
and DEFLATION not EXACTLY the same......
<FONT color=#0000ff
size=2>
yes, in a
depression, real assets worth nothing, and the US dollar worth little, so
gold shines....can't be printed, can't be forged.....
BUT With a
slower evolving deflationary scenario, all assets groups
decline......pricing power is gone.
This is why
everyone is watching the housing market so
carefully.....
as once
THAT market begins to decline, then we are really in trouble and a
depression becomes likely since mortgage holders (banks, etc) begin to
foreclose on properties whose value is less than the principal on the
mortgage due.
Once that
ball gets rolling, the government has no choice except to pull an
"Argentina" and massively reflate.....if they can do so in
time.
If they
can't, wham, depression occurs....
if they do
catch it in time, then massive inflation results with mortgage holders and
other creditors, the big losers.

Group-
Excerpt below from interview which references price of HM during the
great depression. I wanted to know Pretcher's logic for expecting
the opposite in the event of a deflation this time
around.

==========================================================
TAYLOR: Well, I have had some experience in analyzing gold
shares in all sorts of markets. Homestake Mining shared with me their
daily share prices dating all the way back to 1888 through 1998. During
the depression, Homestake Shares appreciated very greatly despite the
fact that we experienced deflation rather than inflation.
BATRA: Did the price of Homestake rise right from the
beginning or...
TAYLOR: No, actually Homestake's share price initially fell
too from $83.50 just before the crash to $65 about two weeks after the
crash. So perhaps the law of substitution did initially apply. But from
November 15th and thereafter, Homestake's shares rose dramatically, to a
high of over $500 by 1936. And during 1932, when the DJIA had lost 90%,
Homestake's shares had reached $162. So investors who diversified their
portfolios with a little Homestake were able to travel through the Great
Depression relatively unscathed, while those who owned only the Dow
Jones Industrials, were devastated.
BATRA: Ok, what I am saying is that timing
is important. Gold stocks are also going to do very well. <FONT
color=#990000>However, at this stage, my advice is to start preparing
yourself by buying gold bullion. Then begin buying gold shares
the moment there is a whiff of inflation or when the market begins to
favor them.To unsubscribe from this group,
