We Are the Pea

(23)

I was indeed addressing Jim C on this occasion, although I dis include right in the first sentence a clarification, that others of a similar ilk guilty of the same kind of attacks against the author I have seen here before, might consider themselves included. It is not the first time I have seen JHK slammed for all the wrong reasons. Disagreements on fact, I accept. A backhanded compliment to JHK - which was wha...

(23)

What is is with so many here and JHK? Anyone who was taught proper English - the parts of speech, sentence/paragraph structure and the proper format for an essay, etc can rarely legitimately evaluate his work negatively on a technical basis. He is a very fine writer. That alone makes his work a treasure to me. A writer with a command of the language today is more rare than gold. Read the classics in whatever sty...

Draghi Announces ECB Exit From Easing Remains Far Off; Think the Fed Has an Exit Strategy

I'm a little confused. Anyone who has taken time to read the relevant sections of the BIS Annual Report, as I did (masochist) that I am, saw Draghi taken to the woodshed in all but name. The Report came down four square on it's member central Banks to end easing and get on with structural reforms - yesterday! They repeated twice, a negative reference to Draghi's what ever it takes message and said that's over an...

Speechless Turd, Something Is Very Wrong, What Could Be Up!

Two words - Jim Sinclair. He explained this quite some time ago at leangth on his site, KWN and I assume in his meetings. He described in advance, what most here and alsewhere are finally figuring out after the fact or partly so. The Big Boys were caught short; they had to get out; the hammered the price down to get out and then suckered others in. Jim, if I understood him felt that this manoevre plus revaluatio...

I'm starting to feel the way Andy did when he stopped trading on the commodities market. We are all being played. I hate being played. I'm taking my foorball and going home.

Bull Market Getting a Little Freakish

(1)

OK I'll bite. How can any/all markets that everyone now concedes are fixed/rigged (perdon me, managed) freak anyone or appear freakish. I confess, most of what is going on in our faces and up our noses, is bizarre, but is it not to be expected. Gensler even had to let the Dodd-Frank ball drop on derivatives trading for goodness sake. It's only $7000 billion or 1.3 quadrillion depending on which BIS figure one ac...

Why Go After the Depositors To Save 'the Taxpayers'

"Bail-in" has been in the cards since 2009. I have a series of papers eventually approved in final form by G-20 with BIS co-ordination. The wording has been consistent throughout. The Plan was that it would be made into law by members without fanfare. But of course the cat was let out of the bag re Cyprus. That no doubt frustrated the people who had put in so much effort. However, having buried and reference to ...

Gold price rises on monetary stimulus hopes

I appreciate your taking the time to reply. But there are a few clarifications necessary. The ten year rise has been in a clearly defined channel and is part of a strategy to protect the USD as reserve currency. This is done by the Fed and has involved several banks and obviously even offshore activity in the currency and bond markets. Also, the first word in my post was IF. The Consensus on this site seems to b...

Gold price rises on monetary stimulus hopes

If the PM markets are rigged or controlled in some way, and clearly the ten years rise within a channel and the regular slap downs strongly suggest that, why does logic (psychological) and technicals so suddenly become a deciding factor is calling the future. Has the rigging stopped; is an almost flat-line pattern evidence that the manipulators are gone away? If the answer is Yes, and we can therefore because of...

Update On $80 Million in Seized Gold Coins: Judge Rules They “Belong to the U.S. Government”

Gawd - how I wish you were right. Rewording of previous EOs sounds so innocent. I'm in Germany in the 30's right?

Update On $80 Million in Seized Gold Coins: Judge Rules They “Belong to the U.S. Government”

This is possible because of one of Obama's new EOs - I even tried convincing even GATA that there was a difference between the latest and earlier ones - one of the first being that people are rightly so concerned about - indefinite detainment on suspicion and the rest of it. But he has done several late Friday night EOs - and one that GATA felt was simply a roll up of previous ones was much more - but I felt, if...

Lords of Finance : the bankers who broke the world

(4)

Thank you for setting me straight. Damn, I thought this was a universe of law. I, from history, and seeing empire after empire collapse as a result of behaving the way we are now, felt it was, if not categorical, highly suggestive. I did not mean to be dogmatic. History does not expose itself to scientific methods of investigation, but provides a multitude of nominal evidence - or at least data. Many a deviant h...

I don't know why we don't use the term stagflation, even thought we are talking different sectors and different parts of the West. Some street-smart experts are now on record as saying that central banks and governments have two choices: continue with massive fraud or let everything implode. Politicians will obviously go with the fraud - because it gives them time. Articles in the MSM suggesting that fixing LIBO...

If there was ever even a lingering doubt that so-called "conspiracy theorists" were right about the socio-political-economic criminal cartel, cabal, minority, vested interests --- call it what you like --- are involved to one degree or another in hatching various plans to enhance their power (they already have money), the LIBOR incident breaking in the UK - with US collaboration and global implications - should ...

In a Gold Standard, How Are Interest Rates Set

(10)

Keith,

There are several "gold standards" or optional standards - permutation and combinations. It is difficult to discuss interest rates, or almost anything else until the powerz decide on a gold stand (likely over their dead and bleeding bodies). I generalize, but when many in the gold community speak of a standard that reverts to the former one, which was problematical.

I think it is someth...

Illegalities

(20)

With the greatest respect, this is a dead end. I saw a taped interview with Gensler's predecessor the other night. She really tried to do her job. At first people were surprised because CFTC is like a flee on an elephant - it is so far down the pecking order and has so little in the way of resources or "clout" as to be less than useless, even if Gensler were on the up and up. His predecessor was, and she was bla...

Does Gold Ever Pay

(1)

Sigh...gold is insurance - it is meant to preserve wealth...if it adds wealth, great, but people should not invest in gold as they do in stocks. As for the numbers used for anything these days, it gets one nowhere in establishing price. Between debasement and the tricks used (most of which defy logic), it is difficult to compare gold (spot) to other phony numbers and indexes. Take the leveraged long/shorts. ETFs...

Is the Correction Over

(9)

With the greatest respect, this is not a correction, it is manipulation/management by agents for the Fed to protect the USD as world reserve. If the US is willing to go to war for the same reason and for the petro dollar and oil, no market is left to function normally. The mere notion that pieces of paper can be used to represent tons of non-existent gold and silver is beyond belief.

Commodities, that o...

Asian Gold Demand "Still Lacking" as Vietnam Bans Monetary Use…

(1)

So let me see if I understand this. Panic buying by the ton does not increase the price; but a lack of demand does. Yet the value of gold is not impacted by supply and demand of available gold because sales simply move the metal from one person's hoard to another's. And the only reason for the change in price is paper gold in in several forms. A bank can have a greater impact by dumping a bunch of HST shorts int...

China is in on gold price suppression too

(6)

To understand the China, read "The Art of War". There are versions online. Doing that will explode the myth of the "inscrutable oriental". Certainly they would want the price to be low - why would they want it high, when they are almost always in acquisition mode. Most traders will conform they love it when the cabal smacks the price down - it's bargain time for them - but don't talk to them about paper. Most of...

The Bull Run Is Over Analysts Predict Gold Will Plunge Below $1000

Don't make the mistake of underestimating the other side. They won't roll over and quit. They want fiat. They don't want PM. If we think we can just hold on until reason prevails...and there is some sort of magical automatic separation between paper and PM, planet earth calling. They can slap us down using the most paper spot price whenever they want. Forget price. Learn to think in ounces and be ready for the f...

And for the vast majority, the last choice is the best, especially while the markets are given over to such inefficiency and corruption. I'm sorry, but that is the way it is. And its a shame on the government, but unfortunately these days the powerful and the elite have none.

What annoys me is that people stampede when there is no fire. The Fed has had a policy of debasing the USD through the "leadership" Greenspan and Bernanke (soulmates). They are easy money guys, afraid of deflation. The Fed's job had been to protect the dollar and often intervened as mandated though agent banks to support the dollar as world reserve in several markets. Then they became worried about trade, becaus...
