    Ich finde es lächerlich, absurd und pervers, dass Leute den Crash ersehnen!


    Ich finde die skrupellosen und total versagenden Eliten pervers die uns seit vielen Jahren in diese ausweglose Situation bringen.
    Daher sehe ich in einem kommenden Crash den unvermeidlichen Befreihungsschlag. Anscheinend notwendig damit das Volk aufwacht und wird deshalb von einigen (auch mir) ersehnt.

    Zitat

    Die Texte von Herrn Butler werden auch immer länger - ohne das was grundsätzlich neues drinsteht Augen rollen Augen rollen Hab langsam keinen Elan mir das jedesmal wieder durchzulesen und am Ende featzustellen, daß er sich mal wieder über diese schlimme Silberpreisdrückung, Comex etc. aufregt - und dass doch Silber irgendwann Raketenhaft abgehen wird. Bis dahin kann Butler jedoch seine veröffentlichten Artikel zu einem 200 Seiten Schinken in Telefonbuchdicke veröffentlichen lassen (im Grunde kann man aber alles auf 10 Sätze zusammenstreichen.


    Das kann man wahrscheinlich auf die meisten Finanzgurus anwenden.
    Butler schreibt aber wenigstens fundiert, mit gutem Stil und vor allem bleibt er sich treu.

    GO GATA!


    The satellite went down yesterday after I had done half my MIDAS. It didn’t get back up until later this morning. That was good news. The bad news is that I was the first speaker this morning and the motion was so bad I had to hold on to the podium to keep from falling. The swaying was bad enough the crew emptied the swimming pool.


    What the crooks have done here is worse than SICK! We know they have tried to cap the gold price for months … every $10 up. They were being blown out of the water and needed help to halt the gold tide. They received that help via the hit the Chinese stock market plunge, which set a number of market happenings in motion.


    The TV satellite on the Crystal Symphony (food and service a "10" has been working, so I have been able to catch some of the gold commentary on CNBC. The major one I noticed was how gold is behaving so poorly when it should be flying. This is almost surreal. Gold ALWAYS goes down when it should be taking off. What we have here is only par for the course in this rigged market, nothing unusual at all. This is The Gold Cartel’s specialty. The more gold should be going way UP, the more they ruin the price. When will anyone wake up out there in the mainstream financial world and call a spade a spade?


    There has been much talk about hedge fund selling as part of a general liquidation. Sure there was some of that, most effected way after the Gold Cartel leaned on the market. Why gold and not oil, which was up 6 days in a row? Why wasn’t copper slaughtered?


    There has also been a great deal of talk about the Yen carry trade falling apart. Surely that has been the case to some degree, and has affected the price. The Japanese fiscal new year starts on April 1 and would have a number of carry traders blowing out of that trade ahead of time. However, if it were not for The Gold Cartel going after scared investors of all kinds, gold would have been soaring and there would be new buyers, not sellers. Instead The Gold Cartel has turned moving averages lower, which has forced certain funds to sell. It is now feeding on itself.


    The gold open interest only fell 4278 contracts to 413,038 … some 40,000 contracts higher than the last time gold was on a roll to the upside this past Fall. There is no telling what gold could do in the short term. There is an astounding number of spec longs still that way. The Gold Cartel has to be salivating about getting another 50 to 100 thousand longs out. It will all depend on the cash market. Should it hold the fort, we will bottom around here. Should they be too scared to buy, look out below.


    On what is happening:


    Bill,
    It didn’t take too long for the journalists to trot out the brilliant financial analysis that gold is no longer a safe haven.

    Bacteria grow by doubling. One bacterium divides to become two, the two divide to become 4, become 8, 16 and so on. Suppose we had bacteria that doubled in number this way every minute. Suppose we put one of these bacterium into an empty bottle at eleven in the morning, and then observe that the bottle is full at twelve noon. There's our case of just ordinary steady growth, it has a doubling time of one minuet, and it's in the finite environment of one bottle. I want to ask you three questions.


    Number one; at which time was the bottle half full? Well, would you believe 11:59,one minuet before 12, because they double in number every minute.


    Second Question; if you were an average bacterium in that bottle at what time would you first realise that you were running of space? Well let's just look at the last minute in the bottle. At 12 noon its full, one minute before its half full, 2 minutes before its ¼ full than 1/8th than a 1/16th . Let me ask you, at 5 minutes before 12 when the bottle is only 3% full and is 97% open space just yearning for development, how many of you would realise there's a problem?


    Now in the ongoing controversy over growth in Bolder, someone wrote to the newspaper some years ago and said look, there's no problem with population growth in Boulder, because the writer said, we have fifteen times as much open space as we've already used. So let me ask you what time was it in Boulder when the open space was fifteen times the amount of space we had already used? And the answer is, it was four minutes before 12 in Boulder valley. Well suppose that at 2 minutes before 12, some of the bacterium realised they were running out of space, so they launch a great search for new bottles. They searched offshore and on the outer continental shelf and the overthrust belt and the Artic, and they find three new bottles. Now that's an incredible discovery, that's three times the total amount of resource they ever new about before, they now have four bottles, before their discovery they had one. Now surely this will give them a sustainable society, wont' it?


    You know what the third question is? How long can the growth continue as a result of this magnificent discovery? Well look at the score, at 12 noon, one bottles filled, there are three to go, 12:01 two bottles are filled, there's two to go and at 12:02 all four are filled and that's the end of the line. Now you don't need any more arithmetic than this to evaluate the absolutely contradictory statements that we've all heard and read from experts who tell us in one breath we can go on increasing our rates of consumption of fossil fuels and then in the next breath don't worry, we will always be able to make the discoveries of new resources that we need to meet the requirement of that growth.

    Gold buying doubles as prices fall

    AHMEDABAD: Gujarat's bullion market, which had lost its sheen due to poor offtake of gold, is regaining its glitter as demand for the yellow metal has doubled in the past four days with the gold price dipping over six per cent in the past week.


    Fresh investment demand coupled with renewed buying interest among jewellers has brought gold back to the centrestage in the spot market.


    Gold sales have increased from 250 kg a day to 500 kg a day in the Gujarat market following the crash in prices in the global markets.


    "As the gold prices continue to dip, overall demand for the gold has increased by 100 per cent in the past few days. Our daily sales of gold have increased from 25 kg to 50 kg a day," said Monal Thakkar of Amraplai Industries, a leading bullion firm.


    For the past seven days, the per ounce price of gold has come down from $645 to $609 as the dollar has regained lost ground following an increase in US job creation in December 2006. The gold price in the domestic markets too has come down from Rs 9,300 to Rs 8,950 per ten gram.


    "The spurt in the gold demand is mainly due to lower prices. Fresh demand is coming from investors and jewellers. Majority of the jewellers are increasing their inventories as they feel that the price below Rs 9,000 is a reasonably good level," said Girish Choksi, past president, Ahmedabad Bullion Association.


    Though there is a fresh round of buying in the markets, bullion analysts feel that gold is expected to lose further ground following the expectation that the US Federal Reserve may increase interest rates," Anagram Comtrade vice-president Anupam Kaushik said.


    Kaushik said that during 2007, gold has the potential to rise to $750 but it could touch $560 on the downside.
