"NO BID" threat looming. When the computers stop trading...any tradable funds may drop to zero!

Don't put too much faith in this. Whilst gold and silver have had a certain stability to them in the past because they are a physical and scarce 'real thing', they won't save any of us from the future. The system is so out of whack, and the issues driving it all are so vast and detached from any conceivably sustainable system that it will still fall apart.

You see what most people are not factoring in is that there are hundreds of millions of disenfranchised younger people (by younger I mean forty and younger) right across the western world who really couldn't give a crap about the security of Boomer's investments. When the reality of their future finally dawns on them those people will rip this society limb-from-limb in a violent convulsion of rage and despair. It won't matter if you have gold assets or silver because the entire fabric of the system, and its infrastructure is going to be destroyed.

The only questions really left are when will the spark come that ignites the inferno, what alternative ideologies will present themselves and vie for power, and how long will the chaos last?

Wow, where did you come from? And do you hang out here very often?

The video was pinned yesterday, someone help me find it. It's the one of the gal in a tie and she is talking about Goldman Scahs being leveraged 545 to 1.

Help me find it.

Passing debt along to the little guy.........it will not stop until

A) The People stop it by force

B) Civilization crumbles from economical implosion.

One solution, well two actually. Gold/silver

One of those people is right here. I just sold my car because I worked out the maths and realised I was working part-time (can't get full-time hours) at a crappy job and was just making enough to run the car, and I was only using the car to go to work. Hilarious if it wasn't so desperately sad. I want to work but can't get anything. And before any smart ass starts up about there 'being work if you are willing to do crap jobs' - the job I do is cleaning offices at night - despite a university education and lots of experience in much better jobs.

What's the point?

On a practical note , I wonder how people barely getting by living with mom and dad. Are going service college debt , obamacare fees and transportation costs , if they are even lucky enough to have a job. The train has bout run out of track lol.

Culling the old, so that the MINDLESS VIDEO GAME BRATS of the new generation can have MORE does not sound sustainable either. The new generation doesn't even know what work is! And they are dumb!... so WOW, I say maybe culling of the old is the wrong demographic.

The problem really now is that interest rates are so low. Many investors would love to put their money or a portion thereof into safter vehicles, but with an essentially negative return after inflation, what's the point?

We've never (at least in this prolonged financial cycle) faced such chronically low interest rates for such an extended period of time. Doom for the system as it currently stands is a rise in effective interest rates. Then you will begin to watch this thing unfold like a lawn chair...
