    • Stagflation or Deflation? [view article]
      Excellent article...again...Jame... As an Authority once said, "he who has ears to hear, let him hear." There will always be those who refuse to hear, or hear and refuse to think, or hear and think and refuse to believe what they're hearing. But the evidence is so overwhelming as to be ludicrous...denying it is denying the elephant in the living room, despite the fact that one is stepping in his latest pie...and what the heck is that broom thing that keeps hitting me in the face?

      Despite what our fraudulent fiat system and its rulers are doing to most Americans, and actually to the working citizens of nearly ALL countries, most will choose to believe the lies, the spin, the Goldilocks fantasy tale continually spun out to a gullible public by those who have become sickenly rich from it. WAKE UP!!!!! You are in the final chapters of the Fall of the American Empire, and you don't even know it!!!!

      Philman, I agree with most of what you say, except that you are absolutely wrong about the fact that we are no longer on a gold standard. That is a lie TPTB want you to believe. We are and always HAVE been on the gold standard. If not, the only value gold would have would be the value industry gave to it for its various industrial applications, or that jewelers gave it...and it's valued WAY above that. Gold is and has been money for millenia.

      The fraud of fiat currency is not new...it has been perpetrated on its people by many govts. And the outcome has ALWAYS been the same...collapse of the paper and return to some sort of a gold standard. But we are now in the worst financial / monetary crisis in the history of the world for the simple reason that the fiat fraud is so widespread, involving as it does essentially the whole world, being perpetrated for decades and even centuries now by the banker family of all bankers, the Rothschilds, who still control from ShadowLand nearly 1/2 of the world's wealth, and with that wealth its governments. As Nathan Mayer Rothschild boasted in 1815--""I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply."

      Just as an aside, before we attacked Iraq, there were only 7 countries in the world w/o a Rothschild family controlled central bank--Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Cuba, and Libya. Now there are only five: Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Cuba, and Libya. jt       Sep 10 10:41 PM
    • Four Reasons Why Gold's a Slam Dunk Investment [view article]
      Well then Jake2, take some speaking lessons and find some information to share that is at all useful, cuz the "goldbugs" I know hear quite well. What you mean is that they tend not to listen to stupidity and ignorance, they don't accept that 2+2=5, they don't believe that something created out of nothing (by man) has more value than something that is finite with many valuable and necessary uses, or that 14 pieces of green paper are worth more than 1 oz of silver outside of some momentary trade. What you mean is they find nothing much that comes out of your mouth to be worth listening to. Well then, I agree...you can't talk to 'em. Sep 01 04:06 PM
    • Gold Is Nocturnal Too: Daytime vs Overnight Performance [view article]
      Actually, if you want to see where the REAL variance comes from in the prices of gold and silver, all you need to do is create a chart using realtime prices looking at the London and the CRIMEX prices. Overlap them over the past 10 years and you will see major dips that occur at and after 3AM (ET), which is the AM Fix in London, after the markets open on the CRIMEX, and after the PM Fix in London. Those are the most influential paper markets (TOCOM also has some heavy hitters who by all analysis trade in league with [God forbid anyone would say "in collusion with"] London and NY) and the markets that have created the discrepancy (actually, for those who can handle the concept of "manipulation&quo... w/o having to check if it's a PC word in present company), or I should say manipulate the paper prices down, regardless of the fundamentals of the physical metal. jt Sep 01 03:43 PM
    • How to Explain Fiat Currency to Silverbugs [view article]
      xpatUSA...you are right. It's not nice to call a person for instance a pompous arrogant ignorant egotistical aH-, even when it fits someone like for instance otto the rockhead perfectly. The problem is finding the right words to describe what he's done and how he's acted here here in a way that is not demeaning. But I'll think about it. It would be easier if he'd titled his little sarcastic and ignorant diatribe, "How to Prove to Silverbugs that I am a Pompous, Arrogant, etc etc etc" and then we could have had a civil discussion, b/c we would have agreed on at least SOME facts.

    • Is This the Death of Gold & Silver Stocks? [view article]
      Wow...I see *Paul loves S&M* is all the way up to 50 words now!!!! Way to go paulie...usually you only make it to 25 before your mom calls you for lunch or supper. Keep working at it...one day you might actually be able to read an entire article to actually know what it says, or maybe write coherently or carry on a conversation with a real human (I've been told there are actually humans who would put themselves thru the torture of actually trying to converse with you!!!...can you believe it??...nah, me neither...)

    • Gold Train: All Aboard [view article]
      Dear tvb...

      We've discussed it as a group and are all agreed that YOU most certainly should buy dirt instead...we have a few other people in mind for this cheap worthless gold, so if you wouldn't mind, please don't buy any of it. And we would encourage you to take very good care of that dirt as we fully intend to revisit this topic in say 3-5 years and relieve you of ALL the dirt you've amassed at that time for a few oz of worthless gold.

      Don't get dirty...       Aug 27 06:16 PM
    • Frank Barbera: Precious Metals Heading to All-Time Highs [view article]
      Wow!!!...PSM...or is it just just S&M? Methinks you should change your name to "God" or "Zeus" or perhaps "Apollo" or something similar. Is there anything you don't know? We do appreciate your condescending from Mt Olympus to mingle with us mere mortals, many of whom actually find Barbera to be highly skilled in and quite prescient about what he does. jt

      PS...perhaps you have a book out expounding on all of this "stuff"...I'... sure it must cost a fortune, since it would undoubtedly contain ALL the wisdom of the ages...stuff mere mortals would pay dearly to know. And please...before you waste your energy tossing down a bolt of lightning at me, just know I'm protected--I have a tin-foil hat on...your majesty. Just to save you the time and effort, as I'm sure you have all kinds of other more important things to do--lives to save, wars to oversee, and perhaps some mortal women to get pregnant or such...etc etc etc...

    • Sorry, There Is No Silver Conspiracy [view article]
      BTW...otto...Mark happens to be an expert at this, as I've read his articles and his chart interps many times...the guy is brilliant and it's nice to have him posting on this board.

      And he uses the term "commercial" losely. Butler has just shown that these "commercials"... are not commercials at all, but BANKS, who have NO commercial interest in silver or gold (except...and this is really the elephant in the living room...as CURRENCY...in competition with their fiat!!). Commercials by definition, to be allowed to hold the kinds of positions they can on the COMEX and with their special margin allowances, are supposed to be those who actually buy the physical metal as normal course in their particular business, in order to hedge prices against drops / jumps. These huge shorts...those who put on the absolutely HUMUNGOUS shorts directly before the tank in the prices of silver and gold...are banks!!!!

      Others have all but proven that the only banks that could have done this are those connected to (actually part owners of) the Fed itself!!! IE, it would appear quite probable that the Fed, thru it's bullion bank / investment bank lackies / owners tanked the gold and silver markets, using OUR money, to stifle, or try to stifle, the one and only REAL competition to their useless fiat "money" hegemony.

      Now...there's some meat to chew on, otto...and we don't have our names under the article presuming to be the "expert." But even we non-experts seem to know a whole lot more about this topic than the "expert"...i... would appear. Find Butler's article, otto...read...learn......       Aug 27 03:34 PM
    • Sorry, There Is No Silver Conspiracy [view article]
      And Kelly, as usual, along with probably all the rest of us who've followed this market, has it right...BUY PHYSICAL. Even if your momma (or otto) tells you not to EVER use the "C" word...buy whatever you can find and afford of silver and gold bullion / coins at this manipulated paper price. Whether you want to believe it's manipulated or not, it's as cheap as it's ever been in modern history, adjusting for inflation (even using the completely fraudulent inflation numbers put out by TPTB...or maybe otto doesn't believe that conspiracy of lies from the Bureau of Lying Statistics either?).

      And don't even let "investment" come into your thinking. Just consider it trading in pieces of paper on their way to finding their true innate value for REAL money that has and always has had REAL value...thru all time periods and thruout the world. If the investment part turns out well (as most of us suspect it will)...hey, that's a bonus. In the meantime, it's about wealth preservation. If you're willing to trust your wealth to the full faith and credit of the USGovt...hey...buy up that green paper and stuff it under mattress. jt       Aug 27 02:47 PM

      Poor otto...

      "Thanks for all the ad-hom comments that only show your lack of decent, mature rebuttals."

      You ask to get beat up by the disdainful, in-your-face title of your article, then you whine when it has the if not desired results, then results that should have been expected. You proved nothing. You just threw out some data and a few lines of condescending "thought" and somehow expected that those of us who have been following this and involved in it for years would go WOW!!!...Otto...you ROCK man!!! Your article calls US stupid!!!...yet you get your hackles up when we return the favor. Then you shouldn't be writing these kinds of articles...you need some thicker skin first...or better yet...better information.

      "Meanwhile, would anyone like to address the three points made in the article...."

      Meanwhile, why don't you address the points in Ted Butler's article?...maybe that would give YOU some point of entry into what WE know and what WE think...if you actually give a crap. If all you wanted to do was spit out an article blasting "conspiracy theorists"...well dude...Congrats!! You just did it!! Walk away with a sense of accomplishment. If you think you already know everything there is to know about the topic (as it would appear)...you will be treated with disdain by those who obviously know a lot more. If you want to learn, then perhaps you should follow the advice of those here who I guarantee you DO know more, and get some more and better information.

      In the meantime...if you can't take the heat...get out of the kitchen.....

      Wow...to those who read this article...read otto(doesn't)rock111's last post. Unfortunately it reveals a major ego in the way of understanding and a lack of desire to understand what the MSM (and CFTC) refuses to deal with or even put in front of the public. AS a rule...you can probably take all articles that reject out-of-hand positions considered "conspiracies&quo... and reject THEM out-of-hand. I rest my case.

      (But DO read Ted Butler's article...unless you, too, just like to reject anything called a "conspiracy" out of hand...in which case enjoy life in LaLaLand, but remember...LaLaLands and their inhabitants tend to suffer frightful ends when the "conspiracies&quo... out of "nowhere" turn out to be realities.)

      this site loves to cut things short for some reason.

      The link...paste it together if necessary...is

      news.goldseek.com/
      TedButler/1219417552.p...

      And the last line should read "there-ain't-no-s... society" (or "there ain't no silver conspiracy society" if the compiler doesn't like all those hyphens perhaps?)       Aug 27 12:21 PM

      Sorry, Otto Rock the Silver Analyst Does Not Exist.

      Sheesh, Otto, I've read a few of your articles on mining companies and country risks, etc. Not bad my boy. You should stick to something you know something about. Your article reminds me of Archie Bunker in his LaZBoy chair pontificating on all known world topics who upon seeing some Arabic woman completely covered up walking outside in the hot Middle Eastern sun has a moment of revelation and yells to Edith that he now knows why erl [that's oil, of course ;)] prices are so high, and Edith in her screeching voice asks why is that, Archie, and he reveals that it's b/c they have to keep their A/C so high it must use up 80-90% of all the erl on the planet, along with almost all the camel patties found in that there neighborhood, or whatever else it is dem Arabs use.

      How in the world are you missing the elephant in the living room, Otto?? You've been stepping in it's patties for years now. Forget the word "conspiracy"... been successfully demonized by TPTB thru the MSM. Go read Ted Butler's recent article (end of last week-- news.goldseek.com/TedB...) called "The Smoking Gun." Go look at those numbers, then go read up on what the CFTC is supposed to be there to prevent. Then come back and give us a report on the article and the data...that is if your ego isn't too big to admit that the there-ain't-no-silver-... society needs to grab their seeing-eye dogs, go home and rethink this thing. jt       Aug 27 12:16 PM
    • Why Should I Own Gold? [view article]
      Just want to give kudos to Jacob for at least asking the question.

      A "gold standard" is just completely foreign to most American citizens under the age of 75-80 b/c they've never really lived under one. And secondly the brainwashing done by the Mainstream Media...the Dept of Truth as Orwell liked to call it...supported and controlled by the powers that be who own it -- the bankers (just as Nathaniel Mayer [Bauer] Rothschild stated some years back: "I care not who sits on the throne of England...he who controls the money supply controls the throne, and i control the money supply") has taken its toll.

      Anyone thinking clearly would have to agree that an ounce of gold has intrinsic value, and certainly more intrinsic value than a piece of paper with $1000 printed on it known as a Fedl Reserve Note...what exactly do you think they hold in reserve for the holders of that note???...not one d*mn thing!!...there's absolute nothing of value behind it...just a rather large and power computer. But since the price of gold and silver have been suppressed for so long, and since price action makes market commentary, most have swallowed hook, line, and sinker that they have no particular value as an "investment."... But those posting here above have already shown the folly of investing in the "dollar." It has lost over 95% of its value since 1913 in terms of purchasing power...and it ain't even begun to reach its bottom. Even if you're getting 10% interest or gains on your dollar-based investments, by calculations using the CPI formula used before Clinton, inflation is now over 13%, so you're STILL losing value. And that doesn't even start to take into consideration now greater than $Quadrillion in derivative debt (fast becoming real debt) that is attached to the dollar like an other-worldy anchor, draggin it into the abyss. Think of buying gold and silver as a way to trade in worthless and growing ever more worthless pieces of paper for something of real intrinsic value...worldwide.

      IMO and I'm sure in the opinion of many posting here, gold and silver will without a doubt also turn out to be a good "investment"... in the meantime, it's a store of value / wealth at the worst. jt       Aug 25 12:46 PM
    • Freddie's Loss is Gold's Gain [view article]
      The most sound way to look at "buying" gold and silver is to think of it as trading in worthless paper for REAL money, while you still can for next to nothing.* Though silver and gold could very well become the investment of a lifetime over the next 5 years (?+), the reason to buy it now is that regardless of when the mob decides to leave the burning building that is the house of fiat currencies, or who is the last out, the dollar (and with it the fiat currency system) is burning itself down AS HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED IN ALL MODERN HISTORY with fiat currency "experiments.&quo... But it will be worse this time, not b/c this is the first time a govt has pulled this fraud on its people, but b/c this time almost ALL (if not all) of the largest (and even the smaller) industrialized countries' govts have done this to their people ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!

      .........................
      *Some have gone thru the math and come up with a number >$50,000/oz just to back up the number of FRNs out there with gold, but that doesn't even begin to monetize all the derivative debt out there that is turning into real debt faster than the Fed and our Treasury can give our great grandkid's money away to their bankster. Looking at silver...with an historical ratio of silver:gold of ~1:15-20...at a ratio of now >1:60...we already need silver to triple compared to gold. Then consider that 80% of all silver mined is consumed in industry, that all known above ground hoards, including the govt's, have already been sold into the market, the numbers say silver is rapidly approaching the scarcity of gold (and remember, gold for the most part is not destroyed in use, as the majority of silver is...in industry, the amounts used are too small to warrant salvage, but billions upon billions of tiny amts are constantly used up in electronics et al, for example).
      .........................

      The dollar, the euro, and the yen will all collapse. And then?...what will take its place? Same thing that always does...when the impostor is run out of the kingdom, the REAL king is given back his scepter and a new era begins...with King Gold on the throne once again, with silver as prince. What's it gonna look like?...hard to know, but likely there will be a gold standard with paper certificates backed by gold with price of gold set at so many of those certificates per oz, or said the other way around, fractional oz of gold per varying certificates. Same with silver.

      As far as "elected politicians"...th... been bought and sold a long time ago. Thru trickery and deceit and lame-session timing and the lack of cajones of our elected officials in 1913, the Fed (against which the Founding Fathers had warned in no uncertain terms) and thus the banking houses of Europe weaseled their way in until they finally completely took over control of the money supply of this country, and thus of the government of this country. Elected officials no longer make the important decisions...just as Nathan Mayer (Bauer) Rothschild (and his father and grandfather before him) said, and I paraphrase, "I care not who sits on the throne of England. He who controls the money supply controls the throne, and I control the money supply."

      And so it is today. This election is a joke...we are given the choice by the powers that be (TPTB) the choice of two unacceptable candidates, and if we vote, it will be for the one we believe to be the lesser of two evils, not someone who has ANY plan whatsoever to stop this destruction of our economy and country, clean up the mess, and set us on a solid footing...all of which would have to begin with shutting down and cutting of the Fed's powers and taking back the power held by TPTB, the Shadow Govt, and giving them back to the people and their representatives (after kicking out the fatcat paid off aristocratic wimpy "representatives&... currently feasting on our dollar in DC). jt       Aug 24 10:53 PM
