I hadn't heard of this recent move, that could potentially be huge and I think that a lot of people here are downplaying the potential move in the markets that results from this.www.bullishbankers.com.../

Value Investing: Going for the Gold (and Silver) [view article]
Entrepreneurs in micro cap companies are exciting. They often have superior products but get little or no publicity. Investors in these companies are much like them in spirit. They are willing to take a risk that they will be successful. I own the following stocks which I believe have great futures: NNVC, AXVC, TTEG, QCPI, QTWW, HEV, XSNX and more. I invest in their future, not trade. I think the author is correct about gold and silver and also own some juniors in this area.I suggest that if you have the spirit and patients, you read about these companies. They are very dedicated people.
But we either have a future or not. If we do, some of these small companies will be a big part of it. Reply

Dixie,We need to chop Leviathan off at the thighs. Dems & Reps alike have proven they collude more often against us for themselves, than for we producers they feed off while themselves only consuming; producing nothing we would buy from it voluntarily. Reply

I was just such a naysayer until I heard Cheney admit he'd kept his CFR directorship a secret as a legislator. Well indoctrinated me voted for W 2x. Well, that and W's lavishing Ted w/a 40% "education" Dept increase, instead of move towards free market education, propelled me into getting my own non-establishment biased education. As a liberal small govt fiscal conservative, I'd long ago decided the Dems were the socialist warmongers history confirms, but was deluded enough to think the Rep rhetoric was genuine. It wasn't. Indeed Lincoln was a commie socialist as hard as THAT is to believe. So the roots of the Republican party are pinker than the Dem progressive slide into it's own pinkdom. I've learned the two parties are controlled from the banking cabal that conspired to take away the people's real commodity market valued money in stages; the Morgan Dems & Rockefeller Reps.But just wrap your mind around this from:

//So lets take a brief look at the "conservative&quo... roots of the Republican Party. When the Republican Party ran its first presidential candidate, John C. Fremont, back in 1856, Fremont had the backing of several men who were socialist refugees from the failed socialist/communist revolts in Europe in 1848. One of the most well-known of these was Friedrich Hassaurek, an Austrian socialist, who stumped the Midwest in Fremont's behalf. However it did little good at that point, as Fremont was beaten. However, it is worth noting that when the War of Northern Aggression broke out in 1861, General Fremont ended up with a goodly number of these forty-eighter socialists and communists on his military staff while the war was in progress. The Forty-eighter socialists seem to have flocked to Fremont. What did they know about the august general that our "history" books have not bothered to tell us?
Although Fremont was beaten in 1856, the socialists and communists were nothing if not patient. In 1860 they found another candidate worthy of their leftist support--Abraham Lincoln. So in the presidential campaign of 1860 the Forty-eighters all came out for Lincoln. Carl Wittke, author of Refugees of Revolution noted that: "Lincoln was fully aware of the political influence of the Forty-eighters in the campaign of 1860, in persuading many of their countrymen to desert the Democratic allegiance for the Republicans..." It appears that the Forty-eighters had quite a bit of influence in the Republican convention in 1860--even to helping write parts of the party's platform. So much for "conservatism&quo... at the Republican roots!
Establishment historian James McPherson told us in his book Abraham Lincoln and the Second American Revolution that Mr. Lincoln had championed the cause of the socialists and communists in Europe in 1848, so why would he not embrace their unstinting support during his presidential aspirations in 1860? You can accurately label this scenario "the Red roots of the Republican Party."
If socialists and communists supported Fremont in 1856 and Lincoln in 1860 and 1864, we can hardly label the beginnings of the Republican Party as "conservative&quo... now, can we? The roots of the Republican Party were anything but conservative--at best they could be considered deep pink. Our decent, patriotic folks in this country need to become aware of this so they will not be guilty of trying to take us all back to Republican "conservative&quo... roots that do not and never did exist! It is true that the Republican Party did take a more conservative tack in the late 1940s and 50s, and even through the early 60s, but that was out of political necessity and it hardly reflects the real foundation and origins of the GOP.
It is interesting to note that, in 1860, the Democrats were the real conservatives, while the Republicans were the left-leaning radicals. People today should know the difference. The fact that most don't reveals the lack of depth in what most of us received in government schools that passed for education. Sadly, what most of us received was leftist propaganda that was paraded by us under the guise of "history." Sadly, in our day, nothing has changed and our people "still perish from lack of knowledge." //
Some mind blast eh?
Want more reality of the scam our govt is; the elites that bleed us dry who run it from the shadows, pulling the strings of the manipulatable fronts they put in office for the purpose? And the perpetual debt of perpetual wars for supposed peace?
This essay names the names, and connects the dots of the pure evil who have worked so hard in concert to take away the freedoms that some patriots once upon a time gave everything to give us.

There is NO way the people's capital these criminals have squandered on themselves will ever be repaid to those who earned it. Our ONLY choice is to protect what little is left. Turn most of your paper assets into metals.
There is ZERO difference between the Warburg/Rothschild designed 2nd Reich's fiat monetary system, the very blueprint of our own FED, and the inevitable hyperinflation that results when tyrannts rob their people by coin clipping, debasement; or by printing press fiat, once they've fooled the masses into reliquishing their REAL money in exchange for unbacked money debt receipts printed from thin air. Called money because the govt says so. Boy are we stupid.
Ron Paul is dead right. He is also the only Pol I've seen in the 40 years I've paid attention, that truly upholds his solemn oath defending the constitution that no others even come close to.

I'm not a "gold bug," "silver bug" or any other kind of fanatic, but I have built up a small pile all the same. Why? It's not because of all the negative financial intricacies artfully explained in article after article. It's because of facts on the ground. Or to put it more bluntly, the prices paid on the street for the essentials of life. Those I understand all too well. My wife and I are newly retired after more than 40 years each of high stress jobs that left us with small-modest pensions, health insurance and a bit in savings that is melting away, bit by bit. Our last trip to the grocery store rang up over $400. How do working people with children survive? How will their children survive? What will happen to all the retirees and the ever more unemployed, most of whom are not counted anymore. And this is America. This is not the time for more artful discussion. This is the time for answers that matter to people en masse. Hungry people don't give a damn about gold, silver, Swiss francs or anything else indigestable. Reply

When did you ever see the treasury sec become a media bum? The amount of fear must rise in investors, " when this goldman reject hits the stage". Pall- mall paulson needs to visit some State fairs to spread his "hubris". When you see treasury more than the president something is major broke. Funny, when the S&L debacle hit it was only going to cost 2.5B. The final bill was about 150B. Today its 25B to save the GSE's. However the enterprises have 80B in the "bank" or so Paulson says! The bailouts are going to create new credit to save old debts. How is this a productive use of funds? Too much credit without equal production! The fed will have to start draining at the same time that taxes will have to be raised to finance federal balance sheet. A flat tax will be added as a new way to finance government.( old system will be left in place) The GSE's will beg borrow than be folded up. The investor class is on the treasury's radar screen to be bleed dry.....pity! Reply11 Golden Prospects, Courtesy of Bernanke [view article]

After tech and 911 wiped me out I starting "collecting" silver,and am up %100+.Which,I believe is just the beginning.Between increasing industrial demand,lagging production and investor demand that is still miniscule, silver is posed to be the investment of the 21st century.The word for silver and money is the same in several languages. No other commodity will weather the coming storm as well. Not that boose,smokes and tuna don't have their place,with sufficient lead to keep them in house :) Only silver will be readily accepted when currency isn't worth the paper it's printed on...............Unles... we turn into waterworld HAHAHAHA............. we're FREAKING DOOMED!!!!! woops,a mugumbo guru moment :) Reply

Kelly - A few things to point out...1. Antique dealers and diamond traders are irrelevant to the point of reserve currency. (also they have to take dollars, "for all debts, public and private")
2. Inflation is higher in almost ever country other then the US.
3. The Euro cannot at this point replace the dollar because of the fractured nature of the EEC's economic localities.
4. Gold and silver, while they can reasonably be held in a portfolio as a hedge, are not something that should be invested in, seriously, in a portfolio that you don't personally hold. Meaning, if you want to buy gold, but it, and accept delivery. If you hold it in a portfolio it should be traded around.
5. Over the long term, gold is less an inflation hedge then it is a hedge against panic. The idea that gold is a hedge against inflation only works because people buy it as a hedge against inflation, causing demand to increase. It is very ponzi like.
There are so many "gold bugs" out there that believe they are investing in something real, and that those who invest in stock are foolish. Gold is an "end of the world" play. It can not always be the end of the world.
Can gold continue to rise, sure, if people continue to fear inflation. Will major holders of US debt dump their dollars for gold or anything else for that matter? No. In fact the IMF is selling gold.
A failure to bail out the debt portion of Fannie and/or Freddie if needed would be far worse for the dollar then would allowing the debt to fail.
The reason why I say the dollar will not be replaced is because there is no way it can be replaced. There is no currency that is able to replace it. The dollar will get stronger, and weaker over time. There is no doubt that if we do not do something to change our net exports the dollar will get weaker over time, but that is a much longer term issue then most "gold bugs" will admit.
Look at a 20 year chart of gold... those who think that gold can't break should sit down and have a conversation with tech investors from the bubble. Heck, at least they though that had a reason to invest, other then, the US dollar will go down so I better buy gold.
Kelly, you are right, gold is being held down. There is a weakness in the dollar and our fundamental financial system... Gold however is not the solution. Gold works best when inflation expectations are accelerating... inflation is high, inflation expectations are very high. Short term paper offers negative real returns... Things are bad... that is not the time to buy gold. If you really believe inflation will continue to accelerate or at least not abate, buy tips.
If you want to diversify your holdings in USD, then do so... but the idea that you want to buy gold because the dollar is about to blow up... you maybe just a little late to the party.

Well, the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire ... We had a good idea once--democracy and all that. Free markets ... (I'm not sure when those operated.) So own a little bullion, guys. Buy some silver as a failsafe. It won't kill you and when you need to buy groceries some day, you'll be happy to have the wherewithal. Reply
