Unless the Govt declares all derivatives null and void in any way shape or form then the banks have the entire planet by the balls PERIOD. A few huge adjustments in the markets of the world will NOT end everything. No doom here only hype once again...... |

Gold is now in backwardation through the June 2013 contract. . Riiight...every government is either buying. as much gold as they can and/or recalling what they have sitting in banks but you. continue believing the propaganda ...fools. Backwardation simply means that someone who holds a large amount of physical say 5,000 ounces could sell it today and then buy a June futures contract for less and make a risk free profit. But why isn't that happening? I mean risk free money, everyone should be doing it and that would bring the spot price down lower than the June contract right? Supply and demand right? The reason it isn't happening and gold isn't returning back to contango, is because large gold holders don't want to risk NOT getting their gold back in June. They would rather hold physical now than get a risk free profit, unsure if they will actually get their gold back in June. And that's one of the factors predicting a crash is imminent or near? Gold was at first only in backwardation for a month, then it went to 2 months, now it's going into backwardation for 3 months, then.... It represents demand for currently holding gold than leasing it or lending it out for risk free money. When the banks try to smash gold they don't have physical to sell today to drive the price of spot down, they only have naked shorts to sell future promises of delivery and that drives down future prices in respect to spot. . And that's one of the factors predicting a crash is imminent or near? I don't know if it means a crash is imminent but it does mean that the existing fiat monetary system is irreparably broken. The basis which is the difference between the nearest future's price and spot price was always positive meaning that the nearest future's price was higher than spot. The basis was the largest just after Nixon took the dollar off the international gold redemption standard. Since then the basis has steadily declined over time, and now it is negative. Eventually it means that mines, hoarders, governments etc will not sell or lease their gold for any price. That means the future's market for gold will be dead, gone kaput. They will probably make up some story in the headlines but the market for gold will be closed by governments. Then all gold goes into hiding, until the reset occurs. Basically it means the dollar and all dollar derivatives, even the proposed "replacement" (new global currency) are dead in the water, the entire system of debt based irredeemable currencies are dead in the water. The only thing keeping things going is inertia, or fumes from the past. Once the sheeple figure all this out, its over. . |

You have faith in the purchasing power of your fiat You have faith in the puchasing power of your PM We have faith that in the future these items will have value so we can eat,live etc. If the USD collapses to 1 percent of its current value,the debt problem is solved with a trillion dollar gold coin. BUT-that will piss off the VERY wealthy because the billions they made are worth nothing. They own the banks,the factories,and the politicians. History has shown that the masses get fleeced and the super wealthy do well. Always The dollar may collapse but the world system will have a fallback for that in place.The fall back may be PM,oil,food,but it will be in place,and probably already is now, before the system tanks. How do you protect yourself?Look at the scenario--Cash is scarce.MOST folks do not have anymore gold than a wedding band. Your pension is toast,your 401k is either taken or turned worthless. Your only hope is to be debt free,cash in hand,and PM in hand. Food prices will skyrocket-so have food stockpiled up to lower food costs. Energy will skyrocket so have firewood now,and a car that sips gas.If your home is yours make it an energy miser now. Only the big shots who control the game know the ins and outs of this.Just protect yourself now the best way possible,and hang on tight. I said before on this sight when I was a registered member,I can see a time when the majority of folks on earth are illiterate.Just controlled sheep. When gov cannot pay for schools,libraries,cops,etc we face a hard time. Our kids are in for a hell of a ride. One sure fire way to starve in the future will be to be a loner--you will need your neighbors,and they will need you.Hopefully you have a few good ones you can count on.Hopefully you are someone that others can count on. |

Gold was the backbone of the current bills of credit system used for global trade. In fact current accounting science was developed from using gold as money. Whenever you calculate the future value of any bill of credit you must assume that the standard unit of account is constant, it must be or the equations are not linear. The dollar, the global replacement for gold since Bretton Woods, is anything but constant. Its value is constantly debased by additional debt, growth relies on exponentially increasing debt, you need new debt to roll over old debt that governments never pay off. If accounting formulas require a constant value to calculate the future value of any bill of credit and the unit of account is dynamic tending to lesser value all the time, eventually the bills of credit system will disintegrate. Are you going to invent a new system of accounting science accepted for global trade along with your new funny money? Don't be a fool. . |

| Buy more toilet paper User ID: 8547422 03/20/2013 12:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | via Forbes from about a year ago... 3/27/2012 @ 7:51PM |117,994 views Peter Schiff: Market-Crushing Treasury Collapse To Hit Around 2013 [link to www.forbes.com] Peter Schiff, the divisive investor and commentator that predicted the subprime/real-estate bubble, is forecasting a U.S. dollar and bond crisis over the next couple of years. Schiff blames intervened bond markets, where rates are artificially and excessively low, and expects the coming crisis to blow the 2008-9 financial crisis out of the water. There is little doubt that the Federal Reserve, with Chairman Ben Bernanke at the helm, is holding markets by the hand. Bernanke, himself a divisive figure, has done all he can to push interest rates lower, using quantitative easing and Operation Twist once nominal rates had hit the zero-range. While many believe ultra-loose monetary policy is dangerous, Schiff thinks it will lead to a catastrophic correction. “The more you delay it, the bigger it will be,” Schiff tells Forbes in a phone interview Tuesday, “so we need to raise interest rates during the recession to confront the inefficiencies.” Schiff, who runs Euro Pacific Capital and is seen by many as permanently bearish, argues that government-intervened bond markets are leading to massive distortions in capital allocation that have only been exacerbated as the Fed reacted to the last couple of recessions. --- more at the link --- Last night there was a thread where a GLPer shared that he received information there would be a rise in interest rates.
