“Every time I hear a politician mention the word stimulus, my mind flashes back to high school biology class, when I touched battery wires to a dead frog to make it twitch. Today, you and I are the dead frogs. Pretty soon the dead frog will be fried frog.”
Some good articles and looks like some video s and charts to check out.
Irish, keep digging in your heels on that Southern Front.
Calling it a day, Best to all, Farmboy
Everybody knows what the FDIC numbers, and the funding for Social Security, and the funding for Medicare, and the funding for most pensions, etc., etc…………..all are. I can’t believe anybody is really waiting for any numbers to be released. It is all just a major distraction if you ask me. We don’t have the money to back any of the above so the only choice we have is to print, print, print. The same is basically true of most countries these days so they will all print, print, print. With everybody print, print, printing- who is going to call each other on the issue? It is basically economic ”MAD”, is it not?
Denial is a psychotropic, mind-altering drug that by comparison makes crack cocaine look like health food, and addiction to it shuts down the brain. America’s denial about its out-of-control spending, non-repayable debt, financial sector fraud and deceit, decadent political institutions, epic dereliction of leadership duty, fiscal and monetary immorality, and disastrously dishonest system of cronyism is leading the nation into an economic nuclear winter of desolation and chaos. Aside from Ron Paul, there is not one politician telling the people the truth about their oncoming debt enslavement and impoverishment; nor is there even one sign of constructive fiscal change on the horizon. Our visionless, gutless and greed-stricken leaders have transformed the United States into a cowardly new world.
When they finally release those FDIC numbers …your going to see more manipulation going on than at the local cat house….tomorrow could be a humdinger for us….
A Busy Week for the Money Printing Press
Snip:
“But, notice, not a gold bubble! There WILL be a gold bubble, to be sure, but the top of the bubble in gold is a lot higher than this, and so high, in fact, that the upper limit is “infinity dollars per ounce”, which is not out of the question now that the US government is spending, and the Federal Reserve is creating, so much money that the dollar could fall to zero value.
And anything less than “infinity dollars per ounce” for gold, when I can now buy the stuff at less than $1,000 an ounce, makes me squeal with schoolgirl delight, “Whee! This investing stuff is easy!”
Well if Wanka is asleep then he can;t eat….
Well even though I know something dreadful is going to befall our way of life I feel rather calm tonight……Most of us are survivors one way or another …
Some strange things are happening down here…mostly good for our team….so I will keep pushing on as they say…
As always I am honored to be a part of this wonderful group…..we have a lot to be thankful for …Jack
Will Gold be manipulated, tomorrow?…………………….he, he, he.

Your goldbug friend
Another goldtent surprize is on its way…stand by for a future announcement. Maybe a couple of days 
Called Poison Control after seeing your post. They told me the only antidote they knew of at this time is a total and complete brain replacement.
Hope you enjoyed your day on the links, Best, Farmboy
i’m setting stops at 9390 gold on the 9150 and 9400 positions and letting the 12500 silver position run free…..for now. bless all and see you in the morning. wj
Yep, Deer & Dears. Both can be problems at times. (grin)
Course there is the third kind of Deere, as in John. Went out to crank the tractor the other day and heard this banging and knocking, sputtering & coughing. Turned the thing off and raised the hood. Low and behold, was a 7-8 foot King Snake, well, what was left of the poor thing. Guess he found the engine compartment a cool haven from the sun. Big enough that when I turned the engine over he was wrapped around the main drive and pulley, and the belt flew off.
Sad thing. Those King Snakes are friends around the farm. They occassionaly sneak into the Egg Nog Saloon and steal an egg or two. Dont mind it at all, since they kill and eat the poisionous snakes. Hardly see a copperhead or mocassion anymore.
Well, thanks for the shout. Hope you keep on giving those elected ones a piece of your mind.
Best, Farmboy

Using Gld as a proxy, more for volume information than anything. It’s too bad Stockcharts does not have Volume and Open Interest for the commodity contracts.
Since the bottom at the beginning of 2009, look at the volume pattern. Expansion during the rally off the bottom, contraction during the formation of this traingle continuation pattern. Just what you’d expect to see. This continuation pattern has given the technicals time to migrate down to launch levels. MACD, ADX and RSI have all come down and or flatlined during the formation of this contuation pattern. Also, volume acts bullish within the triangle, showing slight contraction during the down moves and expansion during the rallies.
Right now, most traders are positioned. A move one way will force the traders on the wrong side of the move to cover. This will show in a large volume expansion during the breakout and serve to power the move. Gold almost always comes back to test the breakout. The lower the relative volume on the breakout, the more likely a test all the way back to the breakout and vice versa.
Like I and others have mentioned, there will likely be an “event” of some sort to spark the move. Depending on what this event is, there is a possibility of a sharp move down, a flase breakout, that could start the move. For example if the stock market were to collapse, money would likely come out of gold, at first, then a sharp reversal up. However, if the recent price increases in Beer, Beef and other basics were to cause a Bond sell off, it’s possible the SM would consider this bullish. Higher yields signaling economic recovery. This would probably lessen the chances of a false break down as a start and the break would simply be up. It’s really just a guessing game, as far as the “event”. In either case, I would hold longs in the metals.
People would redeem paper dollars for gold anytime the price was 5% above backing. Would have to be a floating redeemable rate. Just makes Banks gold dealers like old times - What would happen to all the printing presses and all those lost jobs?
with another 2 zeros 100000 down..condos condos 300k getum while they drop!

No. I never watched it when it originally came out… I watched episodes in re-runs some years ago but never glommed on to it and I certainly never knew the significance of the message until now.

Hi Bill
Here’s a little hint as to the planned introduction of a new monetary system in the US.
Did you ever ask yourself why the US Treasury has not released a new, colored $100 or $1 bill like they did for the $5, $10, $20 and $50? They were talking about it in 2007…
Surely, if they were really concerned about counterfeiting bills they would have started with a colored $100 bill which is the most counterfeited bill in the world by far.
This is just a hunch but I believe the new $100’s will be distributed to US citizens after the crash and be redeemable in GOLD! It will even be gold colored with pictures of gold on it!
Of course, they haven’t even released the new colored $1 bill either with all the Illuminati references on the back. That would call attention to the secret they have hid all these years.
We are so close I can smell the gold!

to keep the speed of the site we do have segmented archives but i’m not sure it has anything to do with your question since its only a month back. we will find out though. thanks for the heads up. wj
On last week’s discussion about the risk of the U.S. government seizing private retirement accounts, including precious metals IRA accounts, there were some comments posted to the effect that “it could never happen.”
Unfortunately, the risks of such an event are significant. First, you have to understand that it has already happened - elsewhere - in Argentina in 2008. Despite the uproar at the time, that government did not fall. Besides the U.S., a handful of other countries are currently investigating nationalizing their private retirement systems.
As unpopular as such a political move might be, think how it would be sold to the American citizens. In Professor Ghilarducci’s proposal to the Congressional committee, she suggested making the initial program voluntary. To make it enticing, she suggested converting private retirement accounts using their values from near their recent past peak instead of current much lower levels. I imagine that a lot of citizens would jump at the chance to have the value of their retirement accounts increased by 50 percent to 100 percent over current levels by converting them into U.S. government bonds (which are guaranteed never to fall in value, as measured in US dollars) paying 3 percent.
The income tax and Social Security programs did not start out as the huge burdens they are today. If the U.S. government were to go after private retirement accounts, I would expect this to also start out on a smaller scale than what it would be in 10-20 years.
President Franklin Roosevelt’s calling in of privately held gold in 1933 was another event that most people would have thought “it could never happen.” In my judgment, there are just too many trillions of dollars of assets in private retirement accounts for a cash flow-starved federal government to leave alone.

Hi,
Do you have a link to his latest work?
Thanks,
Do you remember “The Prisoner” from it’s original broadcasts, or are you seeing it for the first time? I remember it as a favorite of the time… I was a teenager and thought , what a cool show. Of course, it was a bit off the wall, and trippy; right in line with the times. Not exactly the beginning and end of Patrick McGoohan’s career, but I always think of it when I see him.
Dear Bill,
I was struck by the quote in today’s Midas from President Obama, who said,”Ben approached a financial system on the verge of collapse with calm and wisdom, with bold action and out-of-the box thinking that has helped put the brakes on our economic freefall.” In the future, we will look back with slack-jawed amazement at the idiocy of this statement. I lump it with some other incredibly wrong predictions from the Great Depression:
May 1, 1930
“While the crash only took place six months ago, I am convinced we have now passed the worst and with continued unity of effort we shall rapidly recover. There is one certainty of the future of a people of the resources, intelligence and character of the people of the United States - that is, prosperity.” - President Hoover
September 12, 1930
“We have hit bottom and are on the upswing.”- James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor.
November 1930
“I see no reason why 1931 should not be an extremely good year.” - Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., General Motors Co.
