Silver Bull

Silver is printing 47.75 and Eagles are offered at $51.05 on Nucleo. I'm not sure how long this move is going to continue. For certain there will be a pullback but every time you hedge or trade against this type of market you're going to be wrong. Silver is up $1.00 per day. Sprott talks about physical shortages. The big four or five short positions must be getting killed adding to the squeeze. Fundamentals and monetary events are in support but at what point does the hot money blink and get out? Seems there is a lot of cash on the sidelines waiting for a pullback. Sure it's anecdotal internet chatter but for certain a lot of traders haven't jumped on the bus yet.

When does gold kick in to high gear? I think that's entirely dependent on how the fed handles QE3. When QE2 ends they will have to keep purchasing treasuries to keep rates from going up. All this stress in the commodity market is pointing to a big dislocating event in which case correlations go out the window. Let me know what you think and good luck!

Why is the Federal Reserve forking over $220 million in bailout money to the wives of two Morgan Stanley bigwigs?

Rolling Stone

Interesting that this story has just died. I'm pretty busy at work and don't watch mainstream media but I haven't heard any of this in casual conversation. This type of off-the-chart fraud and deception against the taxpayers makes you wonder what you're working for. Anyone trying to get by with $4.00 gas prices and 50% food inflation has to begin to wonder why doesn't the fed give some of that money back to the taxpayers.

The scope and breadth of the fraud and criminality is overwhelming. The fact that nobody has been prosecuted underlines the incestuous relationship between government and corporations. Commercial prisons are filled to the brim with petty criminals but print up a few trillion dollars and hand it out to your corporate buddies, hey that's saving the economy.

Considering Posting Again

I haven't posted here in a long time but have started another family blog. This one is like trying to reconnect with an old friend. You might be a little embarrassed that you haven't called in so long but once you connect it's like no time has passed. Fortunately this is a one way street and it's all up to me! I spend so much time reading great blogs but am usually too busy to get too cranked up about it like I used too. My concerns remain largely the same but have grown sharper and more focused over time. A lot has happened in the world since 2008. Each headline event seems to be more outrageous than the next. Each theft more bold. Each loss of liberty more troubling. Each natural disaster more terrible. It's easy to become numb to it and tune it out, stick your head in the sand. The reality of daily life hardly changes. Prices rise, pay does not. Debt is issued, the dollar declines. Mainstream media has lost almost the last shred of credibility. I can't listen to NPR, Fox, CNN, NBC, anything really without a critical ear to the slant and motivation of the propaganda. Mainstream is Pravda. Real news is Russia Today! That has changed. People are waking up slowly. More are getting the general understanding that they are being robbed but without a specific understand of how it is happening. Blame falls on this group or that group. My team will fix it. Haven't we seen enought to know that it's all one team against the people? The implied differences in the last two administrations have just not come to pass. The next one keeps the same agenda only the face changes. Justice is beyond imagination. I'm interested in protecting the family, securing some future, breaking the myth. Help out where you can, join the conversation.
