    i dont need a lesson on it, but it looks like you do. fetuses are legally aborted often. the "baby" is a fetus sometime near the end of the first trimester.

    After 11 weeks. The trimester is before 12 weeks. We're talking about the same week.

    And baby comes after fetus.

    Considering how much money we owe them, they want to make sure they're not getting paid back in play money.

    Kind of ironic that the Chicoms are more worried about our economy then the liberals are.

    So now that the Chinese are worried we should be worried.

    Welcome back to 9 years ago when the debt started piling up and the dollar was going into the dirt.

    All this really means is you should be buying gold bars..

    First trimester is through the end of the 13th week. Just divide a full term pregnancy (39 weeks) by 3. Fetuses are aborted all the time. Saying otherwise is flat out wrong.

    A lot of these fears are already priced into gold. Not saying it's a bad investment, but there is certainly some significant exposure to downside. Here's the gold chart since 1974.....

    And here is the inflation chart over a similar time period.....

    To me, this is evidence that inflationary fears are already priced into gold. Once again, I don't think it's a bad investment necessarily, it's just not as "safe" as most people think.
