Yes true, but the real important message is avoid wasting money or precious resources foolishly. This is what the Chinese do under the guise of state capitalism. That is why just like the Soviet system it will one day fall apart due to a lack of accountability, corruption and rabid cronyism. Expect another cultural revolution soon with a new group of animals running the farm.
Here's a great video on China's ghost cities that demonstrate the point that you may not be able to put enough lipstick on this pig to overcome the certain economic disaster that lies ahead. Do the math. Most folks work for less than a dollar an hour: how many do they need to buy a $250,000 condo in Ghost Town? The results alone tell you there is something perversely inefficient about the whole economic system.
We are just staying away from this puppy caring less about their reported numbers - there's something in the air- Glasnost?

Peter, where's my guide?
Watch this Fox News video with Jim. Four major points here we concur with. There will be much more turmoil in the currency markets this year and many more as the abstractionist and neo-classical theories fall apart when reality sets in. Scarcer resources. Second, US bonds, particularly 30 year issues, are absurdly low, and when the dam breaks due to the pent up hyper-inflation caused by scarcer raw material inputs - these bond prices will collapse dramatically. Good shorts, but it is all about timing.
Buying Gold, Silver and other precious metals on big dips is sensible, as when the fiat currencies are debased due to inflation and the collapse in bonds, they should come out as winners by default. In the end, there is just nowhere else to go.
Lastly, buy a farm. For if markets, economies, and societies self-destruct, then at least you have a chance of eating and living through the adversity. Don't forget to buy and learn how to drive a tractor - getting to be a popular trend in Greece nowadays. Hint, hint.
