      All the Gold in Saudi Arabia
      Enjoy reading the thoughts here.

      A great article pointing out the 3 banks shorting gold with over 50% of the market:

      Saudis Made Right Decision in Refusing IMF Request, Investing in Gold
      It was pointed out to me by a man I have come to trust and respect for his knowledge of global finance, that at some point in the near future central banks will reverse course and become net buyers of gold.

      Recent articles show China and Iran doing exactly this.

      I dont believe it will be too much longer before western nations are forced to follow suit.

      Gold: Not Just for Gold Bugs Anymore
      If a person bothers to study history it will become clear this isnt some new idea.

      Currency systems have gone from disciplined money (aka fixed to gold or silver in some way) to undisciplined (ie print as much as you like) for thousands of years.

      It is no more cataclysmic to go from pure paper to gold backed as it is to go from gold backed to pure paper.

      How many people even noticed we went from gold backed to pure paper in 1971?

      The average person has no clue it even occurred.

      What Does the Recent Saudi Gold Rush Mean?
      I dont think it takes a conspiracy theorist to consider that the Arabs are thinking about a gold back currency.

      Thats actually kind of old news.

      If I was the Arabs, and saw a potential for a USD devaluation, which doesnt take a conspiracy theorist to realize is possible right now...my next thought would be to how I could protect myself from such an event.

      A gold backed regional Arab currency would fit the bill quite well.

      Make the world pay for oil in Dinars (gold backed) would effectively make the world pay for oil in gold.

      Now that would be smart business, imo.

      China’s Manufacturing Crisis: The Real Story
      Difference between China and USA from a consumer perspective is acutally quite huge. Chinese citizens have shown a respectable 40%+ savings rate, whereas US Citizens spend more than we make with a negative savings rate of around -2.5%.

      This alone is a massive difference.

      Weathering a storm while one has reserves built up is very different than entering a storm without anything to fall back on, worse, being the largest debtor nation in the world.

      Jim Rogers on China and Commodities
      Big difference between a trader and an investor who goes by fundamental versus technical analysis imho.

      Personally, I think Jim Rogers is a hoot.

      Why Isn't Jason Zweig Bashing Gold?
      Cracks me up. Gold goes up when stocks and dollar goes down, and when economy is dim.

      So in other words, supply and demand having nothing to do with it, the only thing that affects the gold price is its correlation to something else, which has only behaved this erratically a few times in the last 150 years.

      Ahh the comedy.

      Chinese Government Intervention To Support Market
      Pretty interesting stuff. I wonder how long China can afford to continue buying US Treasuries.

      When they stop, it could get real ugly, real fast.
