What exactly is or do you mean by the big bang mattmarriott? A terrorist type explosion, a nuke?

I believe he is referring to an economic type big bang. Where inflation reaches an unsustainable level and causes anyone below the independently wealthy class to no longer be able to keep sustaining their lifestyle.
Now regardless of your thoughts on NWO or global conspiracy take a look around. In my area the real estate market is going insane, we had a friend sell a house bought nine months before for a 110,000 dollar profit (which was around 50% of the original value of the house) Combine this with the price at the pump on average going up 8 cents a gallon per week, and you do in fact have a dollar a day type non sustainable inflationary curve which will eventually cause most people to drastically have to scale back their lifestyles.
Just the thoughts of one humble internet junkie trying to translate for those who ignore certain member's posts out of hand.

Wow, that 2 dollar runup at the end of the second graph concerns me. Natural gas, unlike oil, has a dendency to just stop flowing and these charts don't sit well with me.

I've never heard of an exponential system used to explain the future of an economy. Though I do like the rest.

I'd hate to ask it, but is this in anyway apply to the John Titor fanatics and his predicted civil war which he said was happening right under our noses? If so, I am going to need to study harder to refute their claims if I must.

EDIT: I blame it on late night infomercials which tell you how to get rich quick by quote 'exploiting and taking charge of the system'.

If this leads to another depression how ironic indeed it would be. The great depression was caused by farmers having to foreclose and put up ridiculous morgtages on their land. Basically, their was a huge rise in real estate which bombed the country.

An eye must be set upon the real estate market.

frosty I brought up real estate because the trend there is seriously alarming. My realtor friends shake their heads and keep taking comissions but most are either in school or getting in school for when this market busts. In a lot of areas the residential market is disastrously overvalued.

This is the highest I have seen it here in Ohio. 2.49 a gallon. dang I might as well go buy a horse.
I dont know what people are going to do ( middle class, if theres such thing anymore) everything here seems like it has just skyrocketed in just the past week!!!!

I know, I heard on the CBS evening news that in parts of Cali it is over $3, but they deserve that. But in some places in America it has already reached over $4.

OMG... Now I know I should have been an Amish.LOL... can you believe this. ???
What are we Pheasents going to do, the Romans are taking over again?
Will be there slaves.

Why do Californians deserve $3 a gallon?

Why do Californians deserve $3 a gallon?

Is it just me or does california pay more for everything. Gas, Houses, anything of value that can be bought or sold. Is it because Californians make more money at higher wages so the cost of living goes up? What is Cali's minimum wage now anyway? Just wondering

Because there are more Democrats there...LOL.... could be why, I dont see how it can be 3.00 there and so cheaper in other states... see Ohio is Republican so they take care there people here

It's $5.8/gallon here in Finland, here a big portion of the price is also taxes. The finnish gov't won't allow cars that don't run on fossil fuels here, because then they wouldn't get as much tax money yes it's admitted.

So stop whining yanks, if we can take it, you can take it!

If gas prices reach $5.80 a gallon here in the US, there will be serious and grave reprocussions. Our industry isn't geared up to handle that kind of overhead, which of course throws its burden on to the service and retail industries. Yes I know you guys are paying that kind of price over there, but there you don't have half your industrial centers relying on trucks to drive 2000 miles to bring them their supplies either. I'm not trying to make any sort of qualitative comparison, rather pointing out that our economy and our industry is so dependent on cheap gas that any sudden shift upwards is seriously bad bad news. I think that Petroleum, if anything is America's Akilles Heel.

Now touched $68.
If you know the tricks of the Illuminati in despair, then it´s easy to always predict correctly.
Now even 10 pct moves for fice days..

Note: I will not recommend anymore in public when to BUY or SELL.
