Intraday Comment on Gold


         The current move in precious metal prices, described today as a “vicious sell-off” or “full-scale stampede” or “gold free-fall”, highlights the pitfalls naïve investors face in doing the right thing.  With Ben Bananas churning out play money like there was no tomorrow (that seen as the inevitable outcome of his crazy dough agenda by many observers as well) silver, gold, and what have you would seem the most responsible wealth haven to run to – IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE CRIME FAMILIES FIRST.

         We have no idea where these markets are going, but do know what the Wall Street Dons have in mind: to sucker their patsies into those endless bloodbaths spawned by proprietary trading and papered with the overwhelming sums these thieving moneysuckers have at their disposal when the pack of them, acting as one, gangbang the public investor, cheating him out of his savings under the cover of a bought-and-paid-for lawlessness that refuses to codify and enforce blatant criminal activity as blatant criminal activity.

         For us, this is déjà vu all over again.  Back in the late 60’s, at the dawn of the “guns and butter” inflationary horror that would destroy long term bondholdings right here in our own country over the decade to come, a German who’d lived through their Weimar Republic hyperinflation told us that industrial common stocks were the only investments that survived that epic financial meltdown.  Gold investors saw their savings stripped right out of their accounts by the kind of cutthroat practices traders can get away with during off-the-wall periods of insane market instability.

         Think it through, valued Subscribers.  That’s got to be what we’re seeing in the precious metal complex today.  Just a taste though.  With Bananas at the presses, surely the real show is yet to come.
