It’s the governments and central banks creating this uncertainty. You see, they don’t know they’re largely to blame for the world’s economic ills. Or that their attempts to fix matters only makes them worse.

The market has voted. The best way to move forward from the Euro crisis is for Greece to default. Yet the ruling powers are doing almost everything to avoid this fate.

From Bix Weir, "The COT numbers came out for the week and were stunning...unless you understand WHY the price of silver was destroyed. The banksters covered an AMAZING 16,446 contracts (82M paper oz) so far on this slam to have them post one of the lowest short position since the November 2008 crash.

Here's an excellent article on the situation: http://www.gotgoldreport.com/2011/0...ex-commercial-silver-net-short-positions.html

This is since the Thursday cutoff so I'd expect even more short covering at the release of the COT report next week."

We looked into the abyss if the gold price rose further. A further rise would have taken down one or several trading houses, which might have taken down all the rest in their wake. Therefore at any price, at any cost, the central banks had to quell the gold price, manage it. It was very difficult to get the gold price under control but we have now succeeded. The US Fed was very active in getting the gold price down. So was the U.K. - Sir Eddie George, Bank of England, September 1999

The desperation of the global monetary powers that be are reaching such heights that they are willing to perform any fiscal or monetary form of atrocity to (they hope) hold things together. Meanwhile, on the paper investment markets, the participants are literally at their wits end. And whenever that happens, their "faith" in the "system" is all they have left to sustain them, so they retreat to the US Dollar and US government debt paper. After all, if THAT folds up, so will the system. - Bill Buckler, Gold This Week, 01 October 2011


As dilbert said "It is better not to overthink these things"................ and seeing and accepting the other point of view is useful and broadens ones knowledge

Alternate and other?
You do realise these clowns ARE the same source and always publish negativity about everything (which they aren't spruiking) while pushing their get rich quick schemes?

Im afraid I have to agree with Sabcat on this one. When you can publish this stuff with credability and they do in mases eyes then some market manipulation can occure encouraging people who just dont know- like a tip on the horses.

If Oprah winfrey even mentioned gold it would go through the roof in hours, she doesnt of course for this very reason. So dumb is the public I would never ever invest my hard earned money in such volatile amatuer situation.

If I wanted Gold I would buy a bracelet of some size and forget about it. I had one 30 years ago , I had it specially made in Dubai gold souk, 24 carrot, it was 12 ounces and I sold it for 600 quid.

 

The two referred to above are the penmanship of escaped citizens from USA - what do you expect? birds of a feather? but to know thine enemy etc.... is to understand their truth, No? Sometimes I cannot be bothered reading and on those occasions a "spruik" gets linked - mainly because the intro section seems "interesting"... - so I got caught with my pants down... Oh ****... or as the secretary/female PA to the Ragneesh who stayed in Perth for a while said "Tough T1tt1es",,, I am just a poor pensioner who made a mistake

 

If you can't bother to read something before you post a link to it, why should we bother to read it?

 

Yes they target different markets in their commercial publications... Duh ... As does several different publications in:- - Casey-Research, Trends-Research, Financial Sense, National-Inflation-Association, King-World-News, Alex-Jones'-Infowars, EWI-Independent, Kitco, MURDOCK (all operating inside USA), and a few others...

By some of the posts in reply, neither does it seem does the other respondent read the links? - But I do, read given time and opportunity... then come back and edit...

This 'chrismartenson' blog is HUGE, those who read - I would appreciate a brief synopsis and comment of what you read elsewhere... I feel there is far too much angst from readers so, from now, I am posting links and sometimes a brief comment of the 'direction' of the essay... Reciprocal replies on what you read in the macroeconomic context are appreciated as I always like to learn and be aware of other views...

The following, with their catchy headers, are sure to interest the open mind... Bear in mind this is the Australian branch of a USA publication, where they tell it as they see it... Sometimes they promote their revenue earning part of the business - but is that not expected in a free society? - - sheesh - -
