The Next Golden Age an investors dream

[Sparty]

This article "Get Ready for the Next Golden Age - 2012-03-13" is interesting as it goes against the conventional wisdom with its' happier outlook but it made me think of a couple of issues I have been mulling over for the last couple of years: I wonder if the demographics based economists have considered the shift from one - two child families to much larger families that are now coming with the change in the racial make-up of the USA? http://www.prb.org/Articles/2004/Lat...ofAmerica.aspx

As America becomes progressively more Hispanic/Latino it wouldn't be surprising to see the changes detailed above be more powerful and arrive sooner than the doomsayer's such as H. Dent et al predict.

The fly in the ointment will be as the USA along with other "advanced" nations shift from the current carbon economy to the emerging electron economy, the availability of the substrates-resources to put the electrons to work will be in short supply.

These substrates include the rare earth elements, copper, silver, vanadium, lithium etc.

We are already seeing the first shots in the rare earth's war with the USA challenging China in the world/international trade court and here in Australia, as well as Africa and South America and even Greenland China buying up resources.

Australian-Shares.com has a vast amount of information about these resources.
