  • Has Gold Been Manipulated? [View article]
    How naïve can you get? Of course gold is manipulated by the fed. Why do you think they continue to hoard it even though we have been off the gold standard since 1971. Why don’t they just give it away in cereal boxes? The reason they continue to hoard it so they can control the price. If gold was in popular circulation, the dollar would have hyper inflated against it long ago. Gold is like kryptonite against a fiat currency so it must be tightly controlled. Of course, for some there will never be enough “facts” to “prove” manipulation but we aren’t talking about a court of law here. We are talking about bankers who are above the law.

    Here is a reminder for TraderMark:

    Interesting how TM forgives Shilling for missing the "Monster Rally" but faults Schiff for missing the "Investing themes"

  • Warnings from the President: This Is a Bear Market Rally [View article]
    Reasonable investors should expect the market to drop any day now but if reason prevailed, the dow would be under 1000. Political imperatives are driving the market now, not economic realities.

    For that matter, how do we know that the daily real time market charts are accurate or just reflect the whim of some grand market wizard at Goldman Sachs and the PPT

  • Greenspan Sees Another Bottom for Housing [View article]
    The housing scam is designed to transfer all property value to bankers, real estate agents and tax collectors, leaving the “owner” with all the risk and in permanent debt for a giant money pit. Also remember that planned currency debasement insures that home owners can never profit long term by owning a home.

  • Looking at the Market from a Rational Perspective [View article]
    From a rational perspective we must accept the magnitude of historic change in the market since October 2007. Wall Street is an ash heap and the fed is desperately trying to coax a phoenix out of it. They will fail because phoenixes are smart birds that don’t rise for fools. There is an artificial feel to this market and a complete lack of trust by smart investors. But then again, I'm sure investors felt the same way when the Zimbabwe market rose a trillion percent.

    I like the form factor but it needs to be able to web surf and play movies too.

    Wow, markets are way up in the face of falling GDP and rising unemployment. Just like it happened in Zimbabwe...

  • Financial Sector Ultra-Shorts: Must Have Protection Against Banking Sector Madness [View article]
    Bad advice because it makes too much sense. My last FAZ trade netted only a 8% gain. Too small for the risk. The fed is the only significant player in this market and their bias is on the up side. They put the market in a neat little box and I don’t think they are going to allow the 4 to 6% percent plunges of the recent past. Interesting to note that the last two down days had volume well under 300 mil.

  • Rupert Murdoch Interview: 'Economy Weak; Danger of Inflation Great' [View article]
    Amazing how easily these old media apparatchiks speak of permanent debt slavery as if we must accept it for ourselves and all posterity. Murdoch is a CFR dinosaur of a crumbling economic empire of debt. I’m sure he is scheming for fed handouts just like everyone else. I just don’t buy the Murdoch as rational outsider spin…

  • Swine Flu Threatens Already Weak Global Economy [View article]
    If swine flu is such a threat to the economy, the media would be ignoring it and downplaying it, not hyping it. I smell a big red herring. A diversion to keep the sheeple's focus off the economy.

    A great example of how honest players are ruthlessly excluded from the machine.
