    What the Retail Layoffs Are Telling Us [view article]
    Will you should just say that the dollar will not fare well anywhere, and that means that prices of all imports to the US will rise again and the trade deficit of 60 billion will move up even more, unless the recession results is demand destruction. The Upshot is that energy imports will rise, as well prices and then the real problem unfolds. Not good and likely to reach historic proportions of the dollar starts down again. Reply

    Another way to protect yourself is to move quickly to secure your assets in European strongholds like Switzerland and Liechtenstein...

    Bailouts are hugely inflationary - and precious metals have a fixed supply - that is all you need to know to choose the right investment for the future, short-term and longer, see this post:

    Profiting from the $700 Billion Bailout [view article]
    If the credit crisis is real why not get $700b by cutting 5% waste in each government department and slashing some of the lifetime benefits and goodies our inept leaders have awarded themselves? Most Americans have seen salaries and benefits cut, why not these clowns that allowed this mess to happen? Reply

    The only reason for the CFTC to announce such an investigation is because it is a total sham, and both they and the bullion banks know it. The announcement has nothing to do with starting an investigation - it is to quiet those who are lobbying for one.

    Talk about illegal actions by the government -

    The two-day chart below for GLD simply does not make any economic sense. So much so that I am now thinking that the bullion banks must be simply shorting gold and silver (and to a great extent, oil) and once they get the money for the sale they destroy any evidence of it. And, it's done with the fill knowledge and abetment of the various G7 governments for the specific purpose of destroying any remnant of belief in gold as money.

    The time to buy insurance is before the fire, not when the house is burning down. The time to buy gold is in the uncertain times before the crash, not during or after it. In the last six months, as the economy has by all account become more uncertain, gold should have been able to break through any 'honest' naked shorting of gold. Certainly, yesterday should have sent gold up 25%. And today gold is down lower that it started yesterday? Silver went lower during the biggest stock crisis in 21 years, and today is far, far lower? Give me a break.
    I think the numbers faithfully reported by exchanges are a complete fraud. Why would a group of crooks, especially at the behest of governments, illegally naked short gold and silver suddenly get a streak of honesty and report honest figures? This fraud against precious metals has to be far more cunning and widespread than I've seen Ted Butler or GATA (or anyone) express.

    I just read Ted Butler's latest article ( news.silverseek.com/Te... ), and it reinforces my suspicion expressed in my previous e-mail that these bullion banks are shorting gold and silver by direction from the government, so they have no fear of any 'investigation' by the CFTC or anyone. Or, maybe they don't read the Wall Street Journal?

    Why on earth, if they learned that the regulatory agency was going to do a 'criminal investigation' on precious metal manipulation by the CFTC Division of Enforcement, would they intensify driving silver down . . . unless they knew that any investigation was a complete sham?

    Think about it. Precious metals are making LOWER highs - even after these events. The commodities bubble has popped. Deflation is now threatening in a big way. Hard assets won't help in such trades... Reply

    phdinsuntanning --- gutsy call. The safest place to be is in BIL right now and lots of it. T bills.... CASH --- I would agree with diversifying CASH via FXY FXF and FXE to some extent. Hard assets will rule till the smoke clears. The real yellow metal. (Maybe GLD if in fact its really back up with the bullion.) Shorting like crazy means being right twice ! GL in this environment! I rather miss the bottom and catch it on the up swing next year after all the blood in the streets is caked over and vacuumed away. Reply

    Japan, China: Signs of Global Growth Slowdown? [view article]
    There is a economic slowdown in the world with the US at the epicenter, Japan and China included. This calls for a new equilibrium in asset prices and the market is moving towards it, lower than where we are now. Reply

    Have 60 days food, water and medicine for your family. Those who wish to think me paranoid can check my comments dating back to Aug 2007. I care for no glory and take no joy in being correct. The US economy will crash, like Russia/1990's style.

    We shall recovery quickly and there will be the beginning of a bull in 2013. Act like leadership and gentlemen. We'll get rid of the corrupt in Washington and repair the economic damage. But in-between be prepared and help your neighbors. Become politically active. I have said for a year watch Washington. To make money your better watching Washington and the legislation passed or not passed then a chart (although this does still matter, but barely).

    I have a stupid question. If I buy FXY or FXF with dollars through my brokerage account, and then sell someday and get dollars that are more worthless then than now eventhough this investment may have appreciated, how can that help? Reply

    phdinsuntanning: Don't forget the gamblers...

    Options on GLD provide more leverage than double gold. More like 10:1 or so.
