Thoughts on gold and humanity  |
| The supply of gold is largely misunderstood. According to MSM, gold supply is what is mined every year and brought to market – about 2,500 tonnes.
This is a big mistake. The supply of gold is calculated at about 170,000 tonnes, made up of virtually all the gold ever mined since mankind took notice of its existence as shiny yellow pebbles in sand “placers” in riverbeds. Every ounce –every gram - of this supply is owned by someone, either a person or an institution.

| Study finds increase in taxi trips between NY Fed and banks around FOMC meetings |
| A new study has found a jump in New York City taxi cab activity between the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and major Wall Street banks around the time of central bank policy meetings, and the study's author says the findings suggest an increase in informal communications between Fed employees and individuals in the private sector could be occurring.
The New York Fed strenuously disputed the study's assertions.
The study was conducted by University of Chicago Booth School of Business Ph.D. caMonday, March 5, 2018 |

“Don’t panic, buy the dip, who cares?” or “These are rumblings of an earthquake, people will be hurt like in 1929” - which one is it? I would call it a wake-up call. Let me explain:

| Bitcoin backwardation, gold contango |
| People often refer to bitcoin as digital gold because of the similarities between the two assets. One big difference between gold and bitcoin is currently playing out in their respective futures markets. Since bitcoin futures were introduced last December by the CBOE, futures prices have often been inverted, or in backwardation. This sort of phenomenon rarely happens in gold markets, which trade normally, or in contango. Let's explore why inversion seems to be relatively common with bitcoin and Monday, January 22, 2018 |

To pay for the massive slaughter that followed, states abandoned gold and turned to inflationary finance and borrowing, in addition to heavy taxation.

Forecast 2018 — What Could Go Wrong  |
| Markets
If you take your cues from Consensus Trance Central — the cable news networks, The New York Times, WashPost, and HuffPo — Trump is all that ails this foundering empire. Well, Trump and Russia, since the Golden Golem of Greatness is in league with Vladimir Putin to loot the world, or something like that.
Since I believe that the financial system is at the heart of today’s meta-question (What Could Go Wrong?), it would be perhaps more to the point to ask: what has held this matrix of rackeMonday, January 1, 2018 |

| Fake Tax Reform |
| After supposedly chomping on the bit for years to pass meaningful tax reform, Republicans are now set to blow an historic opportunity. Whatever version of the Bill that emerges from the House and Senate Conference Committee (which will be signed by President Trump faster than he can down a Filet o’Fish), will be far less than the Republicans envisioned when they finally captured the White House and both Congressional Chambers in 2016. But from what I have seen of the particulars, the revisions tThursday, December 7, 2017 |

| Macro Plan Still on Track for Stocks, Commodities And Gold |
| As I’ve been noting again, again, again, again, and again the macro backdrop is marching toward changes. I’d originally thought those changes would come about within the Q4 window and while that may still be the case, it can easily extend into the first half of 2018 based on new information and data points that have come in.One thing that has not changed is that stock sectors, commodities and the inflation-dependent risk ‘on’ trades and the gold sector, Treasury bonds and the risk ‘off’ trades aSaturday, November 11, 2017 |

There’s an old tale about the origin of the term “laissez-faire” that gets to my point. Here’s the write-up in Wikipedia:
The term laissez faire likely originated in a meeting that took place around 1681 between powerful French Comptroller-General of Finances Jean-Baptiste Colbert and a group of French businessmen headed by M. Le Gendre. When the eager merFriday, November 10, 2017 |

| Bitcoin Price Target of $7,850 by November 16th |
| Bitcoin has enjoyed a massive breakout during 2017, up over 500% year to date from $960 to the current price of $5,750. It briefly hit an all-time high near $6,200 last week, but has since corrected nearly 10%. The main driver of the price advance was the Bitcoin Gold fork, as investors were looking to increase their exposure to Bitcoin prior to the snapshot in order to get free Bitcoin Gold. Once the fork date passed, the correction ensued, with the price dropping toward $5,400, before bouncingSaturday, October 28, 2017 |

Silver has been the money of commerce for several thousand years. In contrast, unbacked debt-based fiat currencies have been a devaluing money substitute for decades.
According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve, total debt securities and official national debt have increased exponentially for decades. Prices for the stock market, silver, gold, food and most other necessities increase similarly.
National debt has risen at 8 – 9% per year since 1913. Since then the value of the dollar hFriday, October 27, 2017 |
