In fact the values in economy always follow the sinus wave somehow. Now back to immaterial goods (finance like things). In fact the values in economy always follow the sinus wave somehow.

And wrote GOLD on the green rectangle, which is Barrick Gold ABX. After this moment, the whole market changed again. I don't know much about credit market and gold relationships though.

You can reduce credit spending. You can buy what you need, invest in what lasts. You can make things you depend on without abandoning consumer society; it's a no brainer. You can buy local produce. And this stuff makes a big difference, fast. The one thing you can't DIY is health care, though, and I think that's probably the biggest obstacle facing US citizens at the moment.

And the only reason there's so much money to invest in gold is that it was made in the credit market. (Incidentally, it's also getting put back into bonds.) I absolutely agree; I just wouldn't use this image to make the argument. There's a field somewhere else with subsistence on organically-farmed sheep, not visible in this graph.
