The dollar keeps sinking now at $1.59 to the Euro, oil over $111/barrel, and Silver is over $21/ounce.

As I type this the Asian markets are down quite abit.

The Hang Seng down by almost 5% or over 1,000
The Nikkei down over 400 or almost at 4%

I fear there may be a massive drop when the US Markets open later this morning.

Considering there are already reports of tent cities in California and gas there is already $4/gallon, these could be signs of things to come to the rest of the nation.
