Stewart correctly observes that, "In a truly free market, the invisible hand has to give the dollar a reach-around", humor that can only be appreciated after watching the clip...

Fortunately there are at least a few intelligent and courageous people in the media, like Stewart, who are willing to be honest with the American public about the problems in the economy. And I think that until the government sets out a plan to deal with the fundamental structural problems in our financial system of too much debt and not enough savings and capital, we will not have a sustainable recovery. As such, while the stock market may stay irrational in the short term, in the long run I believe it will go back to reflecting the fundamentals of our boom and bust economy. And that's why I continue to feel that for most people it is safer to remain in cash and gold. In my view the gold price will continue to rise due to a lack of faith in central banks' policies and in fiat currencies. I recently read some very interesting articles on these topics at http://www.goldalert.com/, which discuss the relationship between the dollar, the gold price, and gold mining companies due to the Federal Reserve's policies. I thought the article titled "Gold Price Up, Dollar Down - Does it Really Matter?" was particularly useful for people to read through to get a better sense of the relationship between these asset classes, and to get an understanding of the consequences of all the money printing and its potential effects on our currency.
