 Triple Threat Petroleum, the Triple Threat to World Economies by Klaus H Hemsath. World economies are facing a triple threat. Oil reserves will be close to depletion by the year 2050.

 Bear Strearns = BS The Role of Fear in This Faltering Economy by Danna Schneider. Our economy is definitely going through some "tough times", as our President George Bush recently confirmed in a speech regarding the floundering economy of today.
A combination of factors have created a very volatile stock market, housing market, increasing inflation and cost of living, and a faltering job market, but one key component of a failing economy plays an intangible role in facilitating and perpetuating economic instability.
That component is human fear. We can't help it, we've evolved with fear as one of our main emotions, and the media and our surroundings have only helped it along by declaring "the sky if falling" with it's seemingly nonstop doomsday headlines.
Heck, you can't read your email without seeing the headlines on the side declaring that we are headed for worse times before they get better, costs are skyrocketing, foreclosures are at an all time high, gas prices are astronomical, and basically that everything is working against us right now. |

On this basis it is worth looking at the background to the value story on gold, and this may shed some light on why its bull market may have significantly further to go for CFD traders in coming years.
The gold standard
The UK, which at the time was the world’s dominant economic powerhouse, adopted a gold standard in the early 19th century. Other currencies then looked to have gold backing, and towards the end of the century, various European countries joined the standard, though some chose for a time use a joint gold and silver standard. |
