They have the co-operation of the regulators & treasury to manipulate the Dollar and whatever key commodity they feel important at the time. Anyone thinking we are in a free market democracy is flat out wrong! China is playing the game to acquire raw material assets on the cheap and when finished will destroy the Dollar, expose the manipulations, to show how crooked the futures are. Then replace our markets with their own golbal futures market. So, if we want a chance to control market regulations we must clean up the sham ASAP. In the mean time folks, take delivery, reduce holdings in GLD, SLV and futures contracts before defaults set in. For most of you, smarter than I, we better figure something out to make the physical market lead the paper market instead of the paper market manipulating the physical. Supply/demand must rule not big money and goverment greed. Any body in position to add strength to GATA, Butler, etc? I hope so! ]]> Tue, 24 Mar 2009 09:51:49 -0400 butlerresearch.com ) Currently the big money knows how technical charting works so they move the market to rape the small money over & over again.

The global downturn has reduced the industrial amount currently used in all the metals but not silvers uses. Since silver is mostly a by-product of industrial metals, mine shut downs are making silver in even shorter supply. APEX crapped out because of its derivatives positions and borrowing deals. It played the short game in a silver bull market just like JPM is doing. This is probably a big reason Jim Rogers has shorted JPM. When just a tiny portion of folks of your thinking see the light, silver will be off to the races and the huge short positions will default causeing more panic. Once it starts it will be too late to buy. The silver market had blood in the streets last year, the recovery is on the way in spite of continuing manipulations by the likes of JPM, regulators, and the US Treasury to support the Dollar. This applies to gold also, but not as much as with silver.

Inquiring minds were asking How the hell can Countrywide add to Bank of America earnings? Here's how. Bank of America just announced it will not guarantee $38.1 billion in Countrywide debt. Questions over Fraudulent Conveyance are now surfacing.

20. Washington Mutual agreed to a death spiral cash infusion of $7 billion accepting an offer at $7.85 when the stock was over $13 at the time. Washington Mutual has since fallen in waterfall fashion from $40 and is now trading near $5.00 after a huge rally.

21. Shares of Ambac (ABK) fell from $90 to $2.50. Shared of MBIA (MBI) fell from $70 to $5. Sadly, the top three rating agencies kept their rating on the pair at AAA nearly all the way down. No one can believe anything the government sponsored rating agencies say.

22. In a panic set of moves, the Fed slashed interest rates from 5.25% to 2%. This was the fastest, steepest drop on record. Ironically, the Fed chairman spoke of inflation concerns the entire drop down. Bernanke clearly cannot tell the truth. He does not have to. Actions speak louder than words.

23. FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said the FDIC is looking for ways to shore up its depleted deposit fund, including charging higher premiums on riskier brokered deposits.

24. There is roughly $6.84-Trillion in bank deposits and $2.60-Trillion of that is uninsured. However, there is only $53-billion in FDIC insurance to cover $6.84-Trillion in bank deposits! Moreover, IndyMac will eat up roughly $8 billion of that $53-billion.

25. Of the $6.84 Trillion in bank deposits, the total cash on hand at banks is a mere $273.7 Billion. Where is the rest of the loot? The answer is in off balance sheet SIVs, imploding commercial real estate deals, Alt-A liar loans, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bonds, toggle bonds where debt is amazingly paid back with more debt, and all sorts of other silly (and arguably fraudulent) financial wizardry schemes that have bank and brokerage firms leveraged at 30-1 or more. Those loans cannot be paid back.

What cannot be paid back will be defaulted on. If you did not know it before, you do now. The entire US banking system is insolvent. So much money has been printed with so much more to come that we are in a hyper-inflation period. Wages will not go up much as jobs will continually be lost and loan losses increase. The USA has had its golden years unless we find cheap energy. If not, the terrorist have won, the country is bankrupt, and most don't know it or care to believe it. The dollar will lose another 40%+ within 3 years and silver & gold will become real money again in place of the fiats of the present civilized old world. Because of the cheaping $ jobs will stop being sent over seas as we become the old, new 3rd world. Congress, the Fed, investment banks and dummified citizens are to blame for short term thinking that has destroyed our founders dream and warnings. With out cheap energy we can't work out of this hole. Buy PUTS while short term $ recovery exists, and take delivery of silver bars, eagles, maple leafs, & a gun. Read the silverstockreport.com on FAQ's and butlerresearch.com and save your butt with action. Watching the slide to disaster won't be as painful. The easy life is ending. Don't be fooled by the any near term $ strength just because the euro might stop raising rates or drop a bit. It also has an active printing press. Now, hope liquified coal gets a push to solve energy shortages, the Democrats allow off shore drilling, and Obama sinks in the polls. Can someone make a chart comparing the S&P500 with gold & the $ over the last 5 & 10 years? This should show the Bear market as it really is!
