"They're not getting the training that they need to be shown how to properly shovel snow. ... They're not getting trained in how to lift 50-pound bags of salt.

WHERE ARE YOU?
Hoping for change, Americans voted for Barack Obama and instead got more of the same, the same foreign policy, the same bankers, the same problems. If voting doesn’t lead to change, the question then becomes, what will?
Of Dingleberries*, Presidents and Things
The President to the dingleberry did say
Please stick with me the rest of the way
And you will certainly find
That all will be fine
If you stay to the end of the day
The dingleberry recalled
And indeed was appalled
That he’d heard such words before
From the right and the left
They’d left him bereft
Words that could come from a whore
There does come a time
When the light finally shines
In even the darkest of places
That no matter who wins
No matter the spin
You’re screwed by political races
So the dingleberry did think
It was beginning to stink
And began to see where he had been
He resembled a stool
Played for a fool
And saw the trouble he’s in
Unless dingleberries unite
And together do fight
The politicians and banks who own them
At the end of the day
Argue they may
They deserve the toilet that awaits ‘em

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The total number of open jobs in the United States ticked higher in December to a seasonally adjusted 2.50 million, the Labor Department reported Tuesday. Net employment fell by 165,000 in December from November, with hiring falling 1.3% to 4.07 million and separations from jobs declining 0.8% to 4.24 million. The number of workers who quit their jobs voluntarily dropped 0.8% to 1.76 million in December, while layoffs increased 3.4% to 2.08 million. Compared with a year earlier, job openings fell 22.5%, separations declined 14.5%, and hiring fell 9.6%. With unemployment at 15.3 million in December there were 6.1 job openings for every person looking for a job.

upon which big bangers rely...or is it Re-Lie?
The Robertson Walker metric relies on expansion, the only proof for which is red shift, which has many other possible explanations. It's logical flaw is that it at once relies on outside empiricism whilst being "inside" the phenomenon itself. Why isn't the solar system expanding or any material objects, for that matter? They try to tell you that the space between galaxies is expanding whilst the galaxies themselves are not.
Scwarzschild is a theoretical construct and not proven to be actualized into black holes. In fact, the theory says that a black hole will take forever to form. All those pretty pictures you post are not sufficient proof of a black hole.

- Some observations from the charts -- ElReyXXII (), 10:20:52 02/09/10 Tue
Over the weekend I looked at charts of all the PM stocks I follow. I looked at them as candlestick charts and was looking for stocks that held the 2/1 lows and did not make new lows 2/4-2/5. Only a few made a small list FCX, IAG, KGC, MFN, NEM, NAK but they also held their on-balance-volumn lows and non-confirmed the gold indexes RSI readings.
EGO which did make a new price low saw it's OBV and RSI values hold.
NG, NovaGold however was the only stock I saw that actually has posted a new high reading in OBV.
Also noticed the HUI on a 60 min chart and saw that the candlesticks showed wiskers on all probes under the 370 level. I didn't expect to see that on an hourly chart. Once we clear yesterday's high in the 390 area and, what I think was the little 4th wave up, in the 402 area then the low at 365 area will be confirmed as the end of the correction and we'll be confidently on our way to new highs (550-600+ HUI).
Added EGO, IAG, NG, HL. (and for my effort ended the day in a small margin call - although it will go away tonight, I can't do anything else today but watch. So far a good show, though. Let's see if 390 can be exceeded.
all the best....

Why Sovereign Debt Pain Has Only Just Started
cnbc
On Tuesday February 9, 2010, 8:57 am
Let's play a game. I'll remove a few words from the following piece of debt market research and you guess which country the strategist author is talking about.
"The country urgently needs a credible and enforceable austerity plan - the worry for **** investors is that, despite all the **** posturing, politicians still fail to grasp the magnitude of the problem. Repercussions could be severe - the bond vigilantes are hovering and the backdrop is ever threatening ..."
Greece? Spain? Portugal?
Actually, it is the UK that Schroders' Head of European & UK Interest Rate Strategies David Scammell is talking about. But, quite frankly, he could have been talking about any number of countries both in the European Union and beyond. And that is the problem.
We have become used to this kind of concern at the so-called 'peripheral' euro zone members. But maybe we need to get real, even if the politicians won't, and realize that the pain has only just started in a host of Western countries.
Scammell was on "Squawk Box Europe" Tuesday reminding viewers that the rise in Greek yields recently is a clear warning that markets are in the mood to "punish any country that takes creditors for granted."

"Israel is preparing to invade Lebanon with massive ground troops."
My understanding is pride usually comes before a fall. Whether Israel was "testing" the grounds last time with Hizballah or not is irrelevant, what's relevant is the "desired" outcome didn't materialize. Now they're scrambling to save face as Lebanon's economy's & tourism are on fire, and their banking system is rock solid.
There will be no Palestinian solution in Lebanon, as the Lebanese all agree that Palestinians "must" return to their homeland, and will not be given citizenship. Palestinians will not repeat past mistakes in Lebanon, and trusting the Christians/Sunni's & Druze in Lebanon's like a Jew telling you to:
Trust me!
Whatever the cost to Lebanon, and it'll likely be significant, Israel will fail again.

LONDON (AP) -- European stocks rose cautiously Tuesday on hopes that EU officials will provide Greece with some form of support to handle its mountain of debt and keep the market crisis from spreading to other vulnerable countries.
Although the European Investment Bank said Tuesday it would not be able, according to its own rules, to offer Greece or any other country a bailout, investors are betting that a meeting on Thursday of EU heads of state will address the market's worry about sovereign debt.

Stock futures rise a day after Dow closes below 10,000 for first time in 3 months
By Stephen Bernard, AP Business Writer , On Tuesday February 9, 2010, 8:02 am
NEW YORK (AP) -- Stock futures are pointing to a higher open Tuesday as hopes grow the European Union will provide Greece with some support for its mounting debt burden.
Stocks have been tumbling in recent weeks -- the Dow Jones industrial average closed Monday below 10,000 for the first time in three months -- on concerns that growing debt problems in places like Greece, Portugal and Spain will spread to larger countries and upend a global economic recovery.
EU officials are meeting Thursday. It is expected they will address the worries about sovereign debt.

thinking that they have something to do with natural behaviour in the physical world. This makes it much more convenient for the PTB to confuse the poor ignorant masses. The whole of QM can be studied as a physical phenomenon, or one can wander off into the weeds of human philosophy, from whence one may never return. The clip you posted only serves to feed the muse and the philosophers, so they can pontificate on physics.

Will that red line turn positive? Yes. Already the lack of economic growth inspired by weak U.S. money supply growth is evident in the economic statistics. Preliminary report on the U.S. economy for the fourth quarter of 2009 was dismal, despite the praise of journalists unschooled in economics. That weak economic growth will increase the pain felt by the Obama Regime and the U.S. Congress. With U.S. national election only nine months in the future, great pressure will be applied to the Federal Reserve. Bernanke may finally get to use that helicopter, either from which to hurl money or to seek asylum in some other land.
When the U.S. money supply again begins to grow rapidly, $Gold will advance. In the mean time, when selling pressure on $Gold becomes intense, investors should add to their positions. Investors living in currencies other than U.S. dollars should be adding to Gold positions during this period of currency turmoil. The EU is not going to dissolve, but using Gold to safeguard wealth from currency turmoil and tax collectors gone berserk seems like a good idea.

Looking further down the line (7-12 months ahead) there are going to be many opportunities in the commodity's sector as the world’s central governments are going to continue to destroy their currencies. Furthermore, supplies of many key commodities are declining across the board. The precious metals sector is certainly going to shine strongly over the long term as central bankers are creating new money at a mind numbing rate. Many countries will have to restrict their mining activities because of electricity shortages; this is yet another factor that will come to play when the dust finally settles down. There are so many overwhelming reasons to support a very strong sustained rally in the commodities sector (especially in the Energy and Precious metals sub sectors) that we would have to write a whole article just to cover them; however, when it comes to the general markets there is very little to support a long term rally. In fact one would have to really push ones imagination in an attempt to find evidence that supports a long term rally in the markets.
Thus patience is warranted for many sectors that have rallied since March 09 are rotten to the core and will crumble once reality sets in.
An ounce of patience is worth a pound of brains.

- mudturtle........supaglue great idea for wound closure -- WIFFO, 04:23:24 02/09/10 Tue
mark you the stuff does contain arsenic, but dats a slow poison, and you'll prolly outlive it!
Gotta good point about the medical system though.
When I was involved with medicine it was ultimately important never to be wrong. The lawyers jacked up the ultimate cost to the consumer. Proving your right comes at a medical cost in more often painful tests and fees, but that never detered the "best " doctors, they had egos to feed.
I always thought most of them would do very well in the gestapo. Most people involved in medicine are altruists at heart, but the demands of the "system" leave little room for human error, and the drug companies have a huge influence over recomended therapies, so what choice do they have?
Here's something for ya............about a year ago I was feeling realy crook, thought I had dengue or malaria so my angel persuaded me to go to the local clinic. I gave the little girl at the desk my case history and I was dirrected to the blood test table. My blood sample was centrifuged and microscoped and I was told to wait to see the doctor. After about ten patients it was my turn. The doc told me not to worry about dengue or malaria and that I prolly had a case food poisoning for which he prescribed some drugs to treat it. I picked up the presription in the same clinic and paid them 380 baht. That is about $12.50 for appointment consultation pathology tests and medication, but all on the one time and I did not have to go hither and yon. All of this took about three hours. I got well on this treatment real fast the doc got it right first off. My point is there are better ways of doing things if you can just change the system.

Plus, the synthetic organism will be traceable, using some kind of DNA manipulation, “similar to a serial number on a handgun.” And if that doesn’t work, don’t worry. In case Darpa’s plan somehow goes horribly awry, they’re also tossing in a last-resort, genetically-coded kill switch:

- What Do Rising Sovereign Credit Default Swaps Mean? -- mudturtle, 03:11:39 02/09/10 Tue
This is worth your read.
http://www.zerohedge.com/article/what-do-rising-sovereign-credit-default-swaps-mean
"BIS [the Bank of International Settlements - the "Central Banks' Central Bank] points out in a new report that the bank rescue packages have transferred significant risks onto government balance sheets, which is reflected in the corresponding widening of sovereign credit default swaps:
The scope and magnitude of the bank rescue packages also meant that significant risks had been transferred onto government balance sheets. This was particularly apparent in the market for CDS referencing sovereigns involved either in large individual bank rescues or in broad-based support packages for the financial sector, including the United States. While such CDS were thinly traded prior to the announced rescue packages, spreads widened suddenly on increased demand for credit protection, while corresponding financial sector spreads tightened.
In other words, by assuming huge portions of the risk from banks trading in toxic derivatives, and by spending trillions that they don't have, central banks have put their countries at risk from default."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
The only thing to be decided is how to default without any outward appearance of default that stampedes the herd into rushing for the exits.

As for the cut, the local hospital would have gouged me for 600-800 for the stitches--half an hour. My cost was 30 with faster results. That isn't so bad. The glue and tape works well enough and is easily self administered. Self sewing on a hand is not as easy. You might want to keep the repair kit around in case you hack yourself or get in a knife fight.

- Britain, You Better Wake Up -- doran, 02:44:43 02/09/10 Tue
February 08, 2010 "Information Clearing House" -- The more I read about the Chilcot inquiry the more disturbed I am. The fallacy imbued in the heart of British ‘democracy’ is staggering. While some commentators are concerned with questions to do with the legality of the war, the most crucial issue here is actually the disappearance of ethical judgment from our public and political life. Rather than being concerned with morality and ethics British politicians are concerned with legalism. In other words, if someone would manage to prove that the war was ‘legal’ then the murdering of a million and a half Iraqis would be well justified. Let’s all face it, our politicians are corrupted to the bone.

- Wars Sending US into Ruin ...By Eric Margolis -- doran, 02:42:24 02/09/10 Tue
To spend $1 trillion, one would have had to start spending $1 million daily soon after Rome was founded and continue for 2,738 years until today.
Obama's total military budget is nearly $1 trillion. This includes Pentagon spending of $880 billion. Add secret black programs (about $70 billion); military aid to foreign nations like Egypt, Israel and Pakistan; 225,000 military "contractors" (mercenaries and workers); and veterans' costs. Add $75 billion (nearly four times Canada's total defence budget) for 16 intelligence agencies with 200,000 employees.
The Afghanistan and Iraq wars ($1 trillion so far), will cost $200-250 billion more this year, including hidden and indirect expenses. Obama's Afghan "surge" of 30,000 new troops will cost an additional $33 billion - more than Germany's total defence budget.
No wonder U.S. defence stocks rose after Peace Laureate Obama's "austerity" budget.

Just think: It took them less than a century to create a perpetual money machine. Money at the push of a button.
One thing I wish he'd mentioned is that inflation is a tax; a tax levied by an unelected board who can also collect with a push of that same button.

I cut a deep one through the meat on my thumb palm. I quickly pulled it closed it with several butterfly bandages and superglued over the slit once it dried out a bit. It seems to have worked better than stitches for hundreds less than the ripoff hospital.

Amerman's explanation is really very good considering how short that article is.
Can you imagine what it will be like if the banks do "jump the fence" in order to put the air munney to work in buying assets that will perform a hell of a lot better in the long run than getting interest on "excess deposits"? What's to stop the banksters from using the excess deposits to lend to their cronies through sham deals? Even a ten percent leakage of the air munney would allow a vast buy up of real goods and property.
I rather doubt that the banksters are going to be held in check by the FED. They will starve the real producers for operating cash, push them into BK, and then buy it all for ten percent or less. --- All on phony money that was created by keystrokes.

...The second plan is to execute for the first time, air-landing operations behind Hezbollah's lines after weakening and destroying its bases in the south, Bekaa Valley and Beirut.
The scenario speaks about Israeli war inside Syria in a bid to completely destroy these troops. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem last week threatened that an Israeli attack against Syria would lead to total war.

- Containing Inflation Via Unlimited Money Creation: -- Romanov, 23:47:13 02/08/10 Mon
The Federal Reserve was well aware of the severe inflationary dangers when it directly created almost a trillion dollars as part of its separate bailout of Wall Street. If this cash - which exists in highly liquid form right now - escapes into general circulation, the result could be immediate and major inflation that would devastate the value of the dollar and all of our savings. Therefore, even as it created the trillion dollars, the Fed set up a series of barriers to contain the new cash and ultimately return it to the void from whence it came, lest the new cash break out and wreak monetary havoc.
While described in detail in Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's own speeches, the creation of the new money, the barriers to contain it, and the strategy for destroying it are understood by very few in the media or on the web. Yet, the significance is profound and there are powerful, game-changing implications for the economy, the housing market, the inflation / deflation debate and the very fundamentals of long-term and retirement investing.
In this article we will illuminate what looks on paper to be a brilliant economic strategy, and then cut through the theory to get to the real world bottom line for all of us: you and I stand to lose everything if an ambitious but profoundly dangerous strategy goes awry, while the bonuses and future rewards continue to go straight to those whose short-sighted greed created this mess in the first place.

Mortgage Bankers Association Forced Into Short Sale: Today's Outrage
It's so bad that the Mortgage Bankers Association had to sell its headquarters at a loss.
Sounds like one of those jokes that make the rounds on the Internet, but sadly this one is true.
The Mortgage Bankers Association sold its Washington headquarters building to CoStar(CSGP Quote), a commercial real estate data firm, for $41.3 million, a little more than half the $79 million the group originally financed in 2007 through a group of banks led by PNC Financial(PNC Quote), according to the Wall Street Journal.
This is more than a little embarrassing for a group that represents some 2,400 lenders, loan brokers, commercial banks, thrifts and life insurance companies.

Scientists have caught on film what is believed to be the

"serpent" oarfish alive in its natural habitat.
The glowing, metallic-coloured fish can grow up to 17m-long
and has only ever been seen dying on the sea surface or
dead washed ashore, the BBC reports.
But it has now been filmed by scientists working on the
Surpent survey — a project between marine companies and oil
giants BP, Shell and Chevron based in the Gulf of Mexico.

Most of the info that follows is from the prospectus issued 2/5/10, the rest is from the 3Q09 report posted 11/5/09. These are all facts and I will back them up with page numbers if anyone requires. THE COMPANY BLOWS THROUGH MONEY LIKE A DRUNKEN SAILOR (No offense to drunken sailors) Note the following FACTS in no particular order:
1. Sold Broken Hill for 55M in July 2009. Where did that go?
2. 50M in notes borrowed between 10/08 and 1/09. where did that go? Not for startup of Palm. They got into the Franco deal to do that.
3. Line of credit with Credit Suisse for 45M to finance finishing Kenny. Where did that go?
4. 100M of new money borrowed in February 10. THEY MUST REPAY THIS IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS.
5. As of today they have indebtedness of 460M
6. 3Q09 earnings were inadequate by 46M to pay expenses. Imagine what we face in 4Q09.
7. S.B. produced 800K less silver in 4Q09 than 3Q09 and at higher cash costs by over $2.
8. Palm. produced 100k less silver in 4Q09 than 3Q09 albeit at a lower cash cost.
9. Its obvious where the new money is going. Earnings were inadequate to cover 3Q09 operating cash costs by 46M. 4Q09 will be even worse. This company is not the US Gov. They cannot keep printing money to stay afloat.
10. Pg. 12 of prospectus " Our future operating performance may not generate cash flows to meet our debt payment obligations and our indebtedness could negatively affect holders of our notes and common stock" AMEN.
11. They will not be able to repay these notes and will issue more stock to cover. DILUTION.
12. Wheeler is a liar.
13. Expect 2009 total silver to be around 16-17M, We were promised 20M. Expect cash costs to be much higher than promised.
14. Remember this statement by Wheeler last fall. "The major part of our expenses are behind us and our loyal stockholders will now begin to reap the rewards of their patience. BS
15. A few on this board have speculated all this is priced into stock at this point. They have their head in the sand. Much lower projections of silver produced, higher costs, 100M of new debt and the statement that future cash flows may not cover everying are all new and the price of this stock will react accordingly.
I would like to be wrong and welcome opposing debate. I still have some skin in this game, but will get out quickly if we see a big dump next week.

Confused? So are the markets
Unusually strong crosscurrents are creating chaos in markets all over. We need to step back to sort out what's happening with stocks, bonds, currencies and gold.
[Related content: stocks, bonds, gold, currencies, Bill Fleckenstein]
By Bill Fleckenstein
MSN Money
Spending a week away with no TV or newspapers and only limited Internet access, as I did recently, gave me lots of time to think about the present investing environment, where there is mass confusion in all markets. Unusually strong crosscurrents make it difficult to ferret out what participants are thinking or anticipating.
However, I'll take a stab at it by reviewing various markets -- stocks, bonds, currencies and gold -- and considering whether my expectations need to be adjusted. First, though, a look at the innards of those crosscurrents.
Despite the market destruction of 2008, there is still much speculative money chasing any and all markets. Thus the "noise-to-signal" ratio might be quite high for an extended period. Which is to say not that all market action should be ignored but that it might need to be taken with a little less seriousness, especially in the shorter term.
* Find a better broker
In fact, the noise-to-signal ratio might be much higher than in the past. An immense amount of money follows momentum-oriented strategies. Although momentum feels good when it's at your back, a quick change in direction can cause you a fair amount of grief. I'm not sure as to the ramifications, but I'm just going to factor that concept into my thinking a bit more.
S&P's 2010 earnings forecast
Go to MoneyShow.com
Another crosscurrent has developed because of the massive money printing worldwide in combination with the near collapse of the global financial system. Along with an already noisy market, what we see is an environment hospitable to silly ideas that pass for fads, such as the notion of all markets being driven by "risk on" or "risk off" decisions.
Now for a look at the markets individually.
The stock market
The fact that it's been laboring and unable to make progress on good news is something I've been discussing since October. My feeling then that the market might be rangy, at best, was more or less what has transpired, with that inability to rally leading to the recent slide. This decline "tracks" the script. (If only I hadn't been stopped out of my Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) short.)
What I do find surprising is that so many stocks that you might have wanted to own were smashed just as hard as, if not harder than, stocks you might have wanted to be short. To pick my favorite example of both, among a list of others: In the past two weeks, Research In Motion (RIMM, news, msgs) has actually behaved quite well while Microsoft (MSFT, news, msgs) was pounded after a legitimately sensational earnings report. Bottom line: For months now, it's been very difficult to make money on the long side of the market. (Microsoft publishes MSN Money.)
Bing
Stock market forecasts
As for the multitrillion-dollar questions -- where will this decline end, and what will come next? -- I don't have good answers. I suspect that after this "correction" has passed, we could easily see a failing rally instead of new highs, but it's difficult to hold a big opinion.
Part of the reason stocks have thrown a temper tantrum is that the Fed, for the moment, is talking the talk of ending quantitative easing. If and when that changes (toward more QE), which I expect it probably will, who knows what the market might do. Stocks are not cheap, especially given all the problems we face, but if the Federal Reserve turns on the spigots again, stocks could benefit. I believe that, for now, the wise thing to do is to watch the decline and see how the sorting-out process proceeds.
At some point, there might be an opportunity to trade high-quality companies such as Microsoft and a handful of other tech stocks from the long side. And perhaps, down the road, some shorts will set up. I still believe this year might be one in which stock pickers on the long side or the short side will do well as we see a market of stocks instead of a stock market, although thus far that is not what has transpired.

* Why contrarian investors have an edge
The bond market
It has done a bit better recently, helped by the strength in the dollar, and, perversely, it seems that an end to quantitative easing has the bond market thinking that interest rates might decline rather than rise. Without the buyer of last resort -- namely, the Fed -- scooping up more paper and in fact trying to ditch some of the paper it has, I find it absolutely staggering to think that rates could actually decline.
And if rates start to rise, that will put more pressure on housing and other sectors, as well as on the economy. So we should expect that the Fed will fight rising rates pretty much tooth and nail until the unemployment rate gets to a level that will cause Congress not to beat it with a big stick on a regular basis.
Become a fan of MSN Money on Facebook
Having said that, I continue to find bonds to be an uninteresting short, simply because it seems there continues to be far too much confidence in the Fed to do all the right things (an impossible task).
I think the bond market will be a better short once the dollar turns weak again and people begin to recognize that the Fed is completely trapped. (Politically, the Fed can't allow rates to rise right now, yet it wants to end quantitative easing.)
The currency market
That line of thought leads to the U.S. dollar, an area where the recent rally has caught me by surprise. What has precipitated this appears to be all the angst about the creditworthiness of Greece, Portugal, Ireland, etc. The reason there's friction in Europe is that it has rules, and the European Central Bank is trying to get the weaker countries to obey those rules.
* See how currencies stack up today
In the end, I think that's a good thing, as it speaks to a stronger currency, not a weaker one. However, that angst seems to be the catalyst for a weak euro and a strong dollar generically. I've had no dog in the hunt of the euro, but I have with the Canadian dollar, which has held up better than most currencies, declining only a few percentage points off its high.
The gold market
Thus far it seems gold has held up quite well, especially two weeks ago, when commodities, stocks and many foreign currencies were smashed. Gold played a bit of catch-up, with a nearly 5% decline Thursday, but I still think it is the best currency available.
To sum up: It looks like folks have been trying to make the big deflation trade -- that is, buying bonds, buying the dollar, selling stocks, selling commodities. About the only thing I'm absolutely certain of is that deflation is not going to be an outcome this country experiences over the next couple of years, as long as the Fed still has a printing press.
That might be wrong, but it's the one view I hold just as strongly as I ever have. Hopefully this road-map update on various markets will help folks sort through the chaos.

In the current ridiculous anchorless paper system, devaluations against Gold are a little less obvious because there are no longer any Gold standard promises to break. But without a doubt, further devaluations of paper debt tickets relative to Gold will continue as they have over the past 9 years. Governments will become a friend of Gold. It may seem hard to believe for Gold bulls, but central banks becoming net buyers of Gold over this past year is only the first step.
Ben Bernanke is a student of the last economic depression and has seen with his own eyes the inflationary jolt a currency devaluation against Gold can have. Gold no longer needs to be confiscated to be re-valued, since the sheeple have bought into the paper fiat world hook, line and sinker. Simply swap out paper Gold tickets (i.e. futures contracts, the GLD ETF, Gold certificates from pooled accounts) for debt tickets (i.e. paper currency units) and pay the paper Gold ticket holders a premium so they feel good about the deal because they make a profit. Now that you are done shorting Gold and silver and you hold a large position in actual physical metal, talk the precious metals up every day on CNBC and whip the herd into a frenzy. Never mind those kooky Gold and silver bugs that actually hold physical metal in the U.S., as they are too small a percentage of the population to worry about and they tend to be heavily armed.
Think about fiat masters buying instead of selling Gold. They are sending a not-so-subtle signal that the number of debt tickets (i.e. currency units) required to purchase Gold is going to go higher. This is not a one-time phenomenon. The Chinese, who seem to be able to muster a longer-term view than many other advanced economies, are encouraging their citizens to buy Gold and silver. This is unprecedented in a "modern" paper fiat world where Gold is ridiculed and denigrated on a continuous basis.
But Gold won't seem so ridiculous if desperate inflationary policies fail to take root and the next leg of the financial asset price decline gets into gear. For inflation benefits the bankers as long as it doesn't morph into a hyperinflation. Deflation is a scary beast for bankstaz, so they fight it tooth and nail with the only tool they have: more money/debt creation. What benefits the bankers will become policy, as governments and the majority of people who vote for them are more than happy to take on more sovereign debt. Since governments have no intention of ever paying the money back, why can't they just keep borrowing more and more despite the detrimental effect this will have? Of course, there is a mathematical limit in theory to what can be done, but I think we're going to test those limits this cycle.

Silver fell a further 6.36% this week. Holy smokes! The volatility is nearly giving me heartburn, and I have a very high tolerance for risk. Technically the chart is an absolute gong show. But it’s a good chance to accumulate more. I never in my wildest dreams would have though we would again see an intra-day print with a $14 handle. The weeks close was thankfully above the support level of $15.25, but just.
Reports in to me are that coin shops and dealers were being slammed late in the week and could hardly process the order flow. People are starting to catch on to silver’s potential, and are taking advantage of the weakness. There aren’t many people who are telling investors to buy wholeheartedly at the moment, but I am. There aren’t many things with such enduring qualities as Silver that you can buy an ounce of for $15 these days.
I won’t bother going into much about silver other than to say it’s very, very oversold and likel

Goldbugs are the phoniest pricks on earth.
I met a very nice guy online on the old Kitco, his handle was Fred.
I met Fred personally at a goldbug function in Toronto, also was Mo from To. Mooney a many others
Fred is a Jew and one hell of a nice guy,so was Mo, everybody got along just fine with Fred at that meeting. If he got up and said I am a Jew goldbug, would all the phony bastards have left the meeting after talking to him and shaking his hand.
Anyway he introduced me through the internet to a friend of his whom I have a great relation with, he E mails me great info on world affairs and gold.
We have several posters here who condemn the Jews daily.
They are so feckin stupid that they do not know that who they are talking to are Jewish.

I like the PT (perpetual traveler) idea. Stay mobile. Don't tie up money in ownership of anything, especially real estate. Follow the sun. Stay 6 months and move on. I think I'll keep the USA as residence. Keep health insurance here--come back if something majorly bad happens. Using a mail drop in South Dakota you can be a resident, get and keep SD driving license and pay no state income tax. Keep some bank and investment accounts in USA and maybe start some in overseas spots. You just have to be able to line up a long-term rental in your new location. And live like a high-tech nomad.

Had to make a hasty departure in '72. Hitchhiked to Switzerland and found work in hotels. Bought my first golden Vreneli there, been a goldbug ever since. Met my wife the first time in southern Switzerland, she on holiday with her parents. I wasn't far enough up the social ladder for Daddy, so we had to part company. 25 years I spent walking and working most of Europe, also crewing on sailboats. Six years ago she found me on ICQ and we've been together ever since. To keep this OT, we're 95% in physical PMs. Just bought a cabin in the mountains suitable for living off the grid. We're both convinced that things will deteriorate soon. Kitco has been a great education, Doran's posts especially.

Just isn't cool. I was at the checkout line at Trader Joes, when the young black cashier asked the young white cashier who was playing at the super bowl half-time. The white girl said 'The Who' "isn't that cool" and the black cashier said "Yeah ! Thirty years ago! " I had to laugh.

Once they saw the market was going to close below 10K more selling came in.

- Well.......... -- Hambone, 15:50:31 02/08/10 Mon
they suckered me in to selling my QID July calls this morning. Made a 50% profit, but didn't have the guts to hold since they were options.
Still making money on my DOW short position in DXD however.

- I suggest you compare the Grammys to the Super Bowl -- RIP, 15:50:14 02/08/10 Mon
I could hardly recognize an artist at the Grammys.
But...the Super Bowl is somehow retro.
Even more so this year.
There's a lesson here.
Is it the geezer's last hurrah?

PM shares will not fight the market until there appears to be a crisis. That will come. But not right now.

Chrissakes.....they showed up at the ultimate consumer event.
Willingly.
Look what Reagan did to Springsteen.
A perverted favour?

- Very bad day for PM stocks -- Sherlock, 15:44:18 02/08/10 Mon
Does not bode well for tomorrow. Traders are cautiously dumping.If they all start to head for the exits at the same time ,it ain't gonna be pretty.

Music? The rise of RAP sealed its doom.

- That The WHO would be considered safe...... -- crazytimes, 15:42:10 02/08/10 Mon
is a telling statement. Most Music has been morphed into just pure consumerism (like everything else). It's been stripped of its value as Art, Dissent, Social Commentary or its ability to Educate.

- @ WALIAC....you were impressed by Townshend and Daltrey? -- RIP -- MoreGold, 15:38:04 02/08/10 Mon
Stern said today on his show they Lip-Synced it.
If true this is a new low, totally pathetic.
This is why I never watch this commercial shit anymore...

'Durden' mentioned the 'Eng' click, but even with it, it's a struggle. Good lip-reading practice tho. : )

Coincidence again.. Yes, Hendry nods his head to Faber's hyperinflation/ Dolla zero scenario, over up to his quoted 10 years out.
ST (before then) - Deflation tho. Faber dint disagree at all.

- 10K -- Hambone (), 15:33:11 02/08/10 Mon
It's too much and too little time. Don't think they can bring it back, though stranger things have happened.
We get the first close below 10K.

Check out Mish for how entitlements are, and will be disappearing.
There's no choice.

- Winston - Deflation it may well be -- morbius, 15:29:33 02/08/10 Mon
but it will not be deflation without default - default on social security, default on medicare, default on pensions, default on welfare, default right across the board.
