Stock charts reflect that the 'age of financial ruin' has begun in earnest.
It is an age when stocks, bonds and the dollar will become worthless. Gold has risen as the means of wealth accumulation and preservation.
The Charts
The derivative (SSO) which was used by investors to drive up the S&P failed today.
The DOW has given way: it was unable to break through its former support trend line.

Tribute for the 'age of prosperity' where fiat wealth has been king goes to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME); its stock chart shows its peak as well as that of the stock market on November 22, 2006.
Permabear Tim Knight relates: Isn't It Epic?
The Age of Financial Ruin has now begun in earnest.
What has commenced is more than a stock market correction: November 22, 2006 established that the 'age of financial ruin' has begun in earnest -- the age of financial ruin commenced at roughly the Ides of May.
Financial security is found in gold and in gold alone. In late October 2006, a measurable 'investment demand for gold' arose; gold is displacing the 'fiat investments' of stocks as the means of wealth accumulation preservation.
The 'investment demand for gold' is reflected in these charts:
Strengthening $GOLD relative to $GNX (Continuous Gold:Goldman Sachs Commodity Index) .........1.348 on 10-23-2006.
Strengthening GLD relative to DBC (Gold ETF: Commodity ETF)..........2.482 on 9-28-2006
Strengthening GLD relative to SPY (Gold ETF:S&P ETF)..........0.448 on 9-28-2006
Strengthening GLD relative To DIA (Gold ETF: Dow ETF)..........0.48 on 10-6-2006
Strengthening $Gold relative to $Copper ($GOLD:$COPPER)..........1.76 on 9-28-2006
Strong $GOLD relativle to the $USD ($GOLD:$USD)..........that is a ratio of 6.2 to 6.5
Strong $Gold relative to West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil $WTIC ($GOLD:$WTIC).........that is a ratio of 8.86 to 9.72
Also, I believe that The Security And Prosperity Partnership Places One's Life Savings At Great Risk, therfore, I recommend that one sell all stocks, all bonds, an all CDs, and buy and store physical gold at BullionVault.com; and if one has less than $2,000, that one buy the EFT GLD through the stock brokerage division of Bank America or other discount broker.
