| The Economist: Insider trading has been rife on Wall St., academics conclude |
| Insider-trading prosecutions have netted plenty of small fry. But many grumble that the big fish swim off unharmed. That nagging fear has some new academic backing, from three studies. One argues that well-connected insiders profited even from the financial crisis. The others go further still, suggesting the entire share-trading system is rigged.
What is known about insider trading tends to come from prosecutions. But these require fortuitous tipoffs and extensive, expensive investigations, invoMonday, February 12, 2018 |

| The Blockchain Name-Change Game And Securities Fraud - Dave Kranzler |
| The rape and pillage of the blockchain name-change game took on a whole new dimension with Kodak (KODK) this week. KODK was on the way to its second bankruptcy filing this decade (first one was January 2012). On January 9th it announced that it implement a “major blockchain initiative. This “initiative” would use digital ledgers to help photographers license and get paid for their work. The stock soared:

| Immutability And Timelessness, In The Dawning Of The Fintech Age |
| 2,500 years ago, the Greek philosopher Heraclitus wisely espoused, “the only thing that is constant is change.” Which, in the world of investing, could not be truer – particularly today, as the pace of technological innovation accelerates at an unprecedented pace. The problem is, that while technology is generally speaking a good thing, not all technology is utilized for favorable purposes; in many cases, in stark contrast to the best interest of the world’s “99%.” To that end, the foundationWednesday, August 2, 2017 |

 Putting the Latest Silver Crash Under a Lens  |
| On Thursday, July 6, in the late afternoon (as reckoned in Arizona), the price of silver crashed. The move was very brief, but very intense. The price hit a low under $14.40 before recovering to around $15.80 which is about 20 cents lower than where it started.
Buyers of silver are rejoicing. They can now get more money (silver, like gold, is money) in exchange for their dollars than before. However, as we see from the reactions in the community, there were few buyers.

| Historic Market Manipulation, Setting The Stage For Catastrophe |
| In 1989, as a college sophomore, I switched my major from biology to finance. Immediately, I subscribed to the Wall Street Journal, and read the “C” section every day for the next ten years, without missing a day. That is, until I got sick of its CNBC-like economic and financial market cheerleading, in the first sign of a burgeoning mistrust of the financial media, that has led to today – when, on a worldwide basis, I have become one of its most well-known detractors.

I’ll finish tomorrow morning, as I don’t want to miss a beat – in a rapidly changing world, chock full of Precious Metal bullish, everything-else-bearish headlines.

| Hanging by a Thread – “Very skeptical” judge – former FBI/SEC official eyes London gold and silver fix lawsuits |
| Five months have lapsed without decision, since London gold and silver benchmark-rigging class action lawsuits received a cool response in a Manhattan court. Transcripts from April hearings show, in the absence of direct evidence, the claims dissected by a “very skeptical” judge, and criticized by defendants for lack of facts suggesting collusion, among other things.

| The Current, Soon To Be Called Out, Federal Reserve Blueprint |
| As I discussed this weekend, and many times before, Central bankers are no more than heavily-armed Keystone Kops – who each day, attempt to “kick the can” another 24 hours. To that end, they are rapidly losing control of global economies, financial markets, and political regimes; and thus, in their last ditch desperation to acquire those last, painstaking inches, they have supplemented 24/7 market manipulation and unprecedented money printing – like an iceberg, far more covertly than overtly –Thursday, September 15, 2016 |

| Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts - Pause Ahead of the Non-Farm Payrolls |
| Let's see if the Non-Farm Payrolls Report tomorrow gives the Fed enough of a recovery fig-leaf to start talking about rate increases, and sufficient nudge for the market takers to shove the price of the precious metals around to catch any of the over-leveraged specs leaning in the wrong direction.
Except for the occasional exogenous news that moves markets, we are in the Summer doldrums where the market fakers and takers like to shove prices around to generate enough action to fuel the vig.

| Market Manipulation Goes Mainstream, As The Powers That Be Turn On Each Other |
| The war for $1,300/oz – which gold, aside from a Cartel-capped blip 16 months ago – hasn’t traded at for nearly two years – is ON! The Cartel, fresh from having lost its 2½ month battle to defend its previous “line in the sand” at $1,250/oz – having taken their naked “commercial” short position to nearly a record high in the process – is sucking wind big time. Let alone in silver; in which their short position is literally at an all-time high, as they try to figure out whether their next “battTuesday, May 3, 2016 |

| Last Thursday, January 28, there was a flash crash on the price chart for silver. Here is a graph of the price action.
The Price of Silver, Jan 28 (All times GMT)
If you read more about it, you will see that there was an irregularity around the silver fix. At the time, the spot price was around $14.40. The fix was set at $13.58. This is a major deviation.
Many silver bugs are up in arms about how unfair the new silver fix is. That’s nothing new. They were up in arms about the old one. The old oMonday, February 8, 2016 |

| If you were to ask everyday people out there today if life was getting too complicated for them, it's my belief they would come back with a resounding consensus of 'yes'. And it's not hard to see why. In the first place the nanny state has put critical thinking by most people to sleep, where unfortunately far too many literally don't know their collective 'ass from their elbows' anymore. But what's worse, this taming of the mob by the psychopath's in charge has now redirected people's thinking aTuesday, January 5, 2016 |
