This is a classical ‘pig in a poke’ scam. The insiders already HAD been dumping their equities BEFORE this began (with 85 billion a MONTH to gather it all in, that was the cake-walk). Those shares have to be […]

Oh, and another thing (since I don’t have the edit function to add the afterthought … yeah, I’m miffed about that change, Doc. Just like the loss of the ‘Coins’ radio button), if I recall correctly, that HKMEx […]

Reading through the article and reflections commented … all I kept hearing in the back of my mind is that consistent refrain from around the world by LCS operators, ‘No one is selling. They’re only buying”. As […]

“Fiat Western currency is nothing like anything we have had before …”

Ahhh, Mr. Hoity-Toity, you conveniently forgot China, circa 600-1400 AD and the dozens of semi-imitations and duplications introduced in […]

Oh, I especially like the ‘adult beverage’ part! Make mine Comfort … Black Label … neat or rocks … either is fine.
 

” In a system where currency can be created at will, you really think that a brick wall exists?”
 
That you truly are deluded into believing what never has worked and by natural order CAN never work, is why I […]

 
Can we say … Zimbabwe?

You really do believe that ‘FED-Speak’ horse-crap  and the paper-stamp-propped equity market ‘fun-house’ can survive the realities of radically disjoint supply-demand fundamentals, don’t you. All I can hope is […]

The ‘consolation’ I take comfort in, is that the bursting of these bubbles has been narrowing in duration over the past couple decades (which perfectly fits in with my re-construction of the ‘monetary’ structure). […]

This is definitive Mercantilism. Any questions? If not, you’ve passed your exam.

If folks would only take the reigns of control DIRECTLY back into their hands, it would make no difference WHO the ‘president’ is … or Governor, or Mayor, or DOG CATCHER!

Opposite to all prior human history, […]

You know what? I’m sorry, but that’s horse crap. I suggest you’re suffering under the sad affliction of ‘expertosis’.
 
Bankers and governments have had this wet-dream of making infinite paper […]

Tell you what … I’ll take seriously what you said above … if … you can accurately describe just what Capitalism is.

“Governments spend in excess of their revenues and create ever-increasing debts. Central banks create the digital currency to keep the debt machines running, thereby increasing the money supply and inevitably […]

All the reasons cited in this article are reminiscent of why and how Mercantilism was rejected in favor of Capitalism by the late ‘Enlightenment’ period. The current re-visitation of these horrors is directly […]

Once the ETF’s are drained, the ‘boiler’ blows … the ‘core’ goes into ‘meltdown’ … the ‘engine’ is running with no ‘oil’ … etc.

With all these big-shot ‘gurus’ touting ‘gold-backed’ PAPER in ever-more gratuitous anticipation… I’m getting pretty sick to my stomach. They’re OBVOIUSLY planning to swap hundreds of trillions of old banknotes, […]

A nice ‘solid base’ on which to stack hundreds of trillions of yuan/renminbi. There’s a reason the banking and brokerage elites are setting up shop in Asia. It’s plainly the new ‘window-dressing’ in which to foist […]

In the fashion of my dearest economist, Frederic Bastiat … we can readily see an image before us, but let’s endeavor to uncover what isn’t seen upon this canvas … shall we?
 
I have very little tolerance for […]

I know damned well what’s looming down the road … ‘gold backed’ credit-paper … and I’m supremely wary of the subtle sub-conscious Pavlovian conditioning couched within the laurals the commentariat is near […]
