    Hi all,

    I've read this article on zero hedge and I found it quite interesting for what might happen in the coming month. The 1 guy making the bet in the article sounds very soros-like to me personally.

    I'm just having a bit of trouble understanding which assets they were talking about would have increased risk in September and for what assets that taper has not been priced in for. Do they mean that the taper will not happen and that assets such as stocks and bonds will crash or that a taper will happen and the price of gold and silver will fall?

    What does everyone think?

    Regards,

    DG
