Back to Gold?

Gold Barron: What is your problem, this is the 2nd time you have posted your link and it has No Relevance to Gold's Appreciation unless you wish to consider "Rumor Mongering" as a reason for Gold to Move Up.

Ted Butler has made an Inference from An Article he used to support his Claims.

The Following are the last few paragraphs from that Article:

"While the existence of the letters is in doubt, the debate over what to do about losses at Chinese state-owned enterprises, and the search for a political solution, is real.

The state-run Shanghai Securities News said at the beginning of this month that Beijing planned to tighten the rules on trading in over-the-counter derivatives.

The same week, China Business News cited an unidentified source as saying banks and business trading in financial derivatives would be more heavily regulated, speculation discouraged, and derivatives trade between foreign institutions and domestic companies banned.

"While the existence of the letters is in doubt, the debate over what to do about losses at Chinese state-owned enterprises, and the search for a political solution, is real."

The Author of the Article that Butler used for his premise, doesn't believe the Rumors. He does believe China is acting to address the situation.

"The same week, China Business News cited an unidentified source as saying banks and business trading in financial derivatives would be more heavily regulated, speculation discouraged, and derivatives trade between foreign institutions and domestic companies banned."

Why the hell would Gold Move up based on this Statement?

Rally May Last Longer than Expected

Great Synopsis Mark.

The Market Manipulation Theory isn't wrong but the Characters believed to be doing the Manipulating is wrong.

History will teach you that the Specialists, Market Makers, NYSE membership, Program traders, Hedge Funds and Even Mutual Fund managers are involved in the Process.

They have been around for decades and will continue to be around for decades more, learning how the system works is more Important than crying "Market Manipulation". Once the fact is accepted, one can learn how to benefit from it.

WHERE IS FREYA ?

CAGC is now called CAGE.

CAVO is putting in the final touches for listing on a market exchange, with 3 million shares to play with even a $3 million order would be substancial.

FDIC IS BROKE - WHY KEEP YOUR MONEY IN A BANK?

the FDIC has a credit line with the Fed, its not called The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. for nothing.

Believe me when I say, Having one eye is better than being Totally Blind.

China Repeats U.S. Energy Policy Mistakes

Old Wizard: Brazil recognized their dependence on Oil early and embarked on a Mission to become Oil independant. It is a relatively small country(in terms of Population). It took decades. Ethanol played a small part in the beginning, Flex-fuel cars played a big part. As the Ethanol aspect expanded, the did not have to retool, the engines could use whatever was cheapest, if need be.

Its a Natural Resource Rich Country: Agriculture, Iron ore, base metals, etc. They are doing what any sensible country is want to do, they are preparing for the Future. Their Oil Program is ambitious but they apparently know well enough to expand the Base of the Commodities they will be able to offer. Just because they do not need it for themselves Now, doesn't mean expansion stops.

Still no news.

HL is the least of our worries. There was a surcease of trading in ZNNMF this morning. I haven't seen any news on it.

Jim Rogers on the Chinese Economy

Hyflux is a Chinese company having been started in China, with ongoing Chinese construction of Desalinization, Purification and filtration Plants in Mainland China. There is only one International project and that was only recently awarded.

I'm up roughly 50% on Hyflux this year and about 100% on the Trust, bought both on the basis of what you are talking about. Didn't even know about Hyflux until I noticed it in the Comment stream.

Knew that Jimmy Rogers believes that if they do not get a handle on their water problems, it could stop Chinese growth in its tracks.

You don't have to sit through an ad if you just hit the 'close window'...X marks the Spot.

Which I did as soon as I heard the Premise. The commentator's position is that the USD will remain as the Primary reserve currency and will remain relatively strong because of that.

The same thing was probably said about the Brit Pound. My "Black Swan" position is that the USD will remain as the Primary but will Tank because of the Continued Printing.

Let's say Roubini and Bernanke are right. Obama's policies call for the continued printing of Debt long after the Economy Comes Out Of the Recession. Instead of waiting for Inflation to begin in earnest later this year, the ever increasing supply of dollars in the Face of a recovery will deflate it faster.

The Rubicon is being crossed as I write.

The China 'Bubble': Buy, Sell, Or Hold?

BTW: Sweat Shops exist in the USA. If the Bribes are big enough, you can do what you want.

Do something for the people in the "tent" cities.

I'm tired of "Do-Gooders" trying to fix the Rest of the World.
If you want to do some Good, fix America first.

The China 'Bubble': Buy, Sell, Or Hold?

Typical American Arrogance: Do as we Do.

How about Helping India's poor, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, or North Korea.

Yeah, Lets help North Korea. If we help them, they will look up to us.
Or Iran and Venezuela, they could use a handout too.

But closer to Home, how about Asking Mexico to send us their poor. Lets send trucks to bring them in, cloth and, feed and provide Health Care.

That will surely change the way the Government in Mexico works.
They will not ask for handouts, Bribes or gifts anymore.

Instead of Trying to help the Downtrodden in China, How about a Little help for the Unemployed in the "Lets right the wrongs in the rest of the World." USA

I couldn't care less about the Rest of the World.

I'm about to use the last of my Unemployment checks, How about a little Help Here.

SA Editor's Corner: Claims of corporate fraud on Seeking Alpha

I Made this comment to Mr. James Quinn "Mr. JQ: Since Freya did not take a "shot" at your Article but Rather at your responses to anyone making a Query that You don't like, your following comments tell the whole story:

"You googled 4th Turning and now you're an expert. I love when people take shots at an article and are outraged when I fire back at them. You and Freya are little thin skinned. I don't give a crap what SA does with my responses. If you don't like it, d...".

Another one of your comments:

"I have no need to advertise, since I make no money from my site. I like intelligent discussions of the issues. The people I reply to with a "lack of civility" are the pompous know it alls who dismiss the facts because it doesn't fit their comfortable view of the world. I believe in the eye for an eye approach. If you throw a rock at me, I'll throw it right back."

"You have no need to advertise", you say. Then Why is SA littered with your "wordless" ads?

Advertising is Advertising. It doesn't matter whether its done for Money, Respect, Personal Glory or Zealotry for a certain view.

The People who disagree with you are "Pompous know it alls".

I agree with the Article, I disagree with your rude, abusive responses"

I had to stick it in here just in case it was deleted "By Accident".

This Author is a person that has Openly stated that the ToU does not apply to him. Anyone disagreeing is open to abuse. He Spams the Blog, but is anything done about it? Of Course Not, The Rules do not apply to our Favorites.

Today in Commodities: The Line in the Sand

California is going up in flames in more ways than one. This is the Third year that a drought will impact the Food chain. I've seen a forecast of as much as a $1 Billion lost.

Keep up the good work Mono. She won't listen to us. Still gets her herself bunched up inside.
