Whose Face Should Grace the $1 Million Bill?

Excellent suggestions above...

However, another logical face to grace the million dollar (not really) Federal (with no) Reserve note would be Woodrow Wilson, the banksters' annointed president who signed the unconstitutional (not really) Federal (with no) Reserve Act and later admitted that "I have unwittingly ruined my country." He is the poster boy for the modern-day elephants and jackasses who wipe their @$$es daily with the tattered remnants of our constitution in their quest for power and wealth.

Gold Surges to New Record Highs: Media Is Apathetic

In the last two weeks, gold price has set new records, all over 1,000 FRNs, for weekly close and monthly close, and yesterday daily close and intra-session high.

Gold is the barking watchdog or blaring burglar alarm, warning the sheeple that the paper/electron currencies are hastening their inevitable death march to the fiat graveyard, then fiat Hell.

Our central bankster crime syndicate masters and their political & Wall Street minions are completing their looting and destruction of America and the middle class in preparation for a communist totalitarian new world order.

"Resistors" preferring our founding fathers' vision of a free-enterprise economic system under the rule of law in a republic should check out the NWO police state storm troopers at G20 in Pittsburg, making Der Fuhrer's brown shirts look like patsies. Goose stepping menacingly toward The People, clocking their truncheons against their body armor 35 seconds into the video.

Today in Commodities: Quarterly Window Dressing

I am not a trader/analyst, only a humble country CPA who can read a map.

Rode oil from about 42 down, then back up to 66 this year where I snatched my chips off the table. Double long ETF did not perform as well as WTIC, which limited my gain.

Made a 1:1 leveraged side bet on silver in January at around 11.61 and still holding as of the Sept 30 close at 16.62 for a gain of 5 FRNs per ounce or 43%. Not a bad gain, but still sticking with my plan, waiting for the price explosion as the central banksters hasten the FRN's death march to the fiat graveyard then fiat Hell.

Accordingly, I must agree with the author that these were good plays.

Short silver?! Though there could be a dip, no way would I risk being short on October 25, when Israel is scheduled to attack Iran, which will also serve to distract from the currency vaporization from November into 2010.

Gold Falls as Markets Ignore Iranian Geopolitical Threat

Trends in propaganda chatter from the corpgov media cartel and the sternly agonizing oligarchs at the Pittsburg puppet/storm trooper show certainly appear to be priming an unwitting public for the Israeli attack on Iran on October 25, 2009.

This op will not go as planned, with 2/3 of attacking forces never reaching their targets and a horrible mistake made hitting a tertiary target. The international outrage, apparent confusion in the Kenyan usurper's camp and following retaliations will divert attention in early November as the central banksters hasten the FRN's death march to the fiat graveyard.

Panicked investors fleeing the mid-October stock crash to the perceived safety of FRNs, treasuries and bonds will be vaporized. Derivatives defaults will slam shut the escape hatch to commodities. Physical gold and silver investments will be the only financial assets left standing among the crispy critters in the twisted smoking wreckage.

Made a good buck on the oil rally and already safely "all in" PMs, but still hand-wringing on how to play the "interventionals" in a leveraged side bet on this manipulated three ring circus from Hell.

Gold: What Professional Futures Traders Think

Compare the COT to the monthly Bank Participation Report and you will see that a couple Illuminist bullion banks control the vast majority of the short position in CRIMEX papergold. These are not "commercials" hedging gold production, but naked speculative shorts of a huge percentage of global annual gold production that are the pillars holding up the decades-long gold price suppression scheme.

Gold is the barking watchdog that warns the sheeple that they are being sheered of their savings by currency debasement. Papergold must be beaten into submission on the CRIMEX to maintain the central banksters' fiat currency racket. As the Chinese and other foreigners dump their FRN-based debt paper for real money, the scheme will unravel, the CRIMEX will default and the paper tail will no longer wag the golden dog.

As the world's paper currencies, led by the FRN, hasten their inevitable death march to join their ancestors in the fiat currency graveyard, then fiat currency Hell, nobody will be stupid enough to exchange real gold and silver for paper, even with big numbers printed on it. As Prof. Antal Fekete warns, when gold goes into hiding, the political, social and economic consequences will be devastating. The people's wrath will be unleashed on TPTB and their minions who are responsible for the widespread poverty and death.

Funding a Rally Extension

In summary, thanks to the coup of 1913, we live in a fascist oligarchy where a bunch of gangsters with paper and green crayons now puppeteer everything for the profit of their Illuminist masters. There are no markets any more, only interventions and manipulations. By comparison, these scum make Al Capone look like a schoolyard bully stealing kids' lunch money.

Forget fundamental and technical analysis. Based on the "interventionals", rope futures should be the next 10-bagger investment opportunity.

We now return to the corporate media cartel's regularly-scheduled reruns of the elephant and jackass show...

Gold Falls on Dollar Rise, Profit Taking

Gold and silver are real, so do not change. I peeked in my gun safe this morning to check and, sure enough, my coins and bars look exactly the same as last week.

The only thing changing is the currencies, as they hasten their inevitable death march to the fiat currency graveyard before joining their ancestors in fiat currency Hell.

As Professor Antal Fekete points out, at some point, nobody will be stupid enough to exchange real gold for any amount of fancy paper with lots of zeros printed on it by the international central bankster cartel, at which time gold will go into hiding and the thin veneer of civilized society will begin to collapse.

Precious Metals: Breakout, Fakeout or Shakeout?

I agree with LR. Regarding (3) a shakeout, I thought I just saw a huge one over the last year, since August 2008?

As JPM said, "Gold is money. Nothing else is" (except silver). Gold and silver do not change. Honest men have used them to store their wealth for eons. Only the paper/electron currencies change and they all just went down vs. gold, as they always inevitably do over the long term on their way to their intrinsic value of zero.

The markets? Wall Street fraud king banks are all insolvent zombies, yet while loan defaults and the derivatives death star loom, share prices soar. S&P P/E ratio is stretched over 100 to 1 even with fake earnings thanks to FASB sellouts. Gangsters running gubmint, printing/keying more fake money, handing it to their pals, skimming 100 million daily using computer trading and front running with the exchanges. CFTC pummels oil longs while banksters short 200,000 gold and 40,000 silver contracts. China revolting against the UK-US bankster cartel, frantically swapping FRN$ for resources, doing currency swaps, stockpiling gold, promoting silver, its stock market tanking again, saying bleep you on contracts "hedging" aforementioned silver shorts. Hahaha!

October stock market crash to new lows seems imminent to me, even with prices propped up by money printing and porkulus/scamulus.

After the stock ring is piled high with towels, starting late October to November, those who stampeded to "safety" of FRNs, Treasuries and bonds, will get vaporized in the dollar collapse through 2010. Real gold and silver (not paper) will be the only things left standing among the crispy critters in the twisted smoking wreckage.

Fundamentally, technically, interventionally (?), I would not want to be short silver or gold right now, unless I could create money and steal the metal to cover my positions.

Dr. Marc Faber on 'Recovery'

We already have very profitable wars going on now against the invincible esoteric enemies of terror, drugs and poverty (a/k/a war on people).

But, Mr. Faber asks the question about what happens when the global empire with the biggest army/navy/air force, bases in 150 countries and nukes goes bankrupt and its central bank's paper/electrons are rejected as payment?

Based on subtle hints by the gubmint-media complex of sabers rattling, supplemented by George Ure & Cliff High's web bot predictions, it looks like Israel will be attacking Iran this fall, conveniently coinciding with the dollar collapse and GMO/PTB flu epidemic. This will turn out very badly.

Democrats Headed for a Train Wreck

Our country is being destroyed and looted by a two-headed monster that must be slain. If we do not turn things around 180 degrees immediately, our path inevitably leads to either tyranny & slavery or violent counter-revolution.

My strategy: Fire 'em all. No elephants. No jackasses. No chances. No prisoners. No exceptions. Vote third party.

Trend forecaster Gerald Celente predicts the meteoric rise of a third party. The Constitution Party is the third largest and fastest growing political party in America and has the best platform of the non-major parties. ALL their shots are grouped in the bullseye, while the Libertarians and other minor parties all have major platform flaws. Unfortunately, as Mr. Bern says above, many people are turned away by the CP's religious preamble. Judging by their comments, many S.A. readers are well-informed free-enterprise constitutionalists who should embrace the Constitution Party platform. I encourage everyone to check out their platform and judge for yourself. This party needs support AND CANDIDATES from the investment community.

Reality Is at Odds with Policymakers' Optimism

Grim Reaper Greenspan, Bubbles, gangster Hank and Tiny Tim are merely minion puppets following orders from the bankster cartel shareholders of the Fed counterfeiting machine.

The only alternative to tyranny and slavery in America is to SHED the FED and recover our gold looted by the cartel families.

The Market's 'Horoscope': Downside Correction

Supplement with predictions from other gurus and the web bots...

My theory is that TPTB will pump stocks to around Dow 10,000 S&P 1,100 then, after Goldman's leveraged positions are in place, reverse the media propaganda and pull their fingers out of the dyke, shorting stocks to a new low, sheering the sheeple the whole way down into October, interrupted only by a September bank holiday. Then, after covering their shorts and putting new positions in place, TPTB will give the nod and the unwitting sucker-dupes who stampeded to the "safety" of the FRN, treasuries and bonds will get vaporized by the dollar collapse and hyper-inflation in early November. Derivative defaults will close the emergency exits to commodities on the bloodied, panicked herd.

Real physical gold and silver will be the only things left standing among the crispy critters in the twisted smoking wreckage.

Waddaya think, Mr. Cooper?

CFTC: The Key to Market Manipulation

Nice work, Mr. Goodman. This is one of the most thorough articles I have ever seen on concentrated positions, resultant manipulation of futures prices and the toothless lapdawgs at the CFTC.

I just wrote the CFTC again about the continuing bankster/FedGov silver/gold manipulation, but added that when their gasoline-soaked house of cards collapses (failure to deliver physical), thousands of informed citizens will point the mob of starving, heavily-armed people in their direction and that they may be facing rope, rather than just a prison cell.

A republic (rule of law) will longer exist to protect them and they will get a taste of democracy (mob rule) at its finest.

Expect Recovery in Oil Prices - Barclays

How about somebody on S.A. addressing why light sweet WTIC is again trading at a 1.50 to 2.00 FRN discount to heavy sour Brent crude!

Smells to me like the usual foul stench coming from the direction of FedGovSachs, manipulating the markets again with their secret swaps, trading programs and the strategic petroleum reserve. I suspect the criminal syndicate insiders were positioned for this trade in advance, unlike the rest of us.

Back in the U.S.S.A.

Peter Schiff is right again, same as when the talking heads on TV said the financials were cheap and buy Merrill, Bear, WaMu, etc. in 2007 and mocked Peter when he said to run like hell.

Amerika is evolving from free enterprise to a fascist/socialist/comm... economic system (where the gubmint controls the ownership, possession, use and/or disposition of capital) under a political system that is evolving from a republic (rule of law) to democracy (mob rule) to an oligarchy (rule by the elite few) - hence the accurate USSA moniker. When Pravda warns us, Chavez congratulates us for joining the club and Chinese stupents laugh at the Fed's, er, our Treasury Secretary, start listening.

Now, fiat currency volatility and PPT manipulation/intervention in every market interfere with rational analysis of both fundamental supply/demand trends and trading charts. As a result, the only no-brainer investments for the poor sheeple (who are not traders with constant access to accurate information and cat-like reflexes) to preserve their remaining wealth are physical gold & silver bullion and steel & lead.

The international bankster cartel, through our privately-owned Federal Reserve money masters, continues to destroy and loot America in plain view. Finally, one of the few statesmen (Ron Paul) among the two(elephant & jackass)-headed ruling party gets a majority of the U.S. House to co-sponsor H.R. 1207, to put a scope up the Fed's @$$. In response, knowing the best defense is a good offense, the banksters' Kenyan usurper puppet boy proposes to give even more overwhelming, unconstitutional power to the Fed - the same gangsters who caused our current financial/economic collapse, claimed that nobody could see it coming, and are now making it worse by creating and giving trillions more "money" to insolvent zombie banks and enabling the continuing out-of-control federal gubmint by monetizing Treasury debt. This can only end badly.

When the sheeple finally wake up - under a bridge, homeless and starving on the continent their fathers conquered - the bankster cartel families, Fed boards of governors, Wall Street fraud kings and their political marionettes will get more than they bargained for, as warned in the March 2008 closed-door session of CONgress. If any of you traders and analysts out there can recommend a good double-long pitchforks, torches and hangin' rope ETF, please let me know...
