And until this trend changes, which there has been little evidence for, I think the economy is going to continue to suffer a lot. So that is why I feel one of the few ways for the average person to protect him or herself from this is to invest some portion of their portfolio in gold related assets. I also just came across several good articles at <a href="http://www.goldalert.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.goldalert.com</a> which discuss the policies of the Federal Reserve and Treasury and their impact on the financial markets, fiat currencies, the gold price, and particular gold mining companies that are leveraged to the gold price. One article I found especially helpful is called "Gold Price Up, Dollar Down - Does it Matter?" which talks about the history of monetary policy in the US and the consequences of the inflationary system that the Fed perpetuates.
