  • Gold: A Seismic Move Is Coming [View article]
    I will happily give up my SS and Medicare if the US Government will return all the money my wife and I paid into the system with a modest 4% interest.

    And gold has simply returned 10% annually since 1971 when freed from the price repression that fixed it's value. So.....no dividend....just capital gain as measured in USD. Too bad one has to pay taxes if one reports those gains.

    Then who are they gonna sell their "stuff" to? They only reason they buy Treasuries is to off load their USD trade surplus. Sure they can diversify. And they are to some extent. But I think we all should recognize that the most common language in the world is "money". And despite the professed beliefs of the ruling elites in China, I can guarantee you they all enjoy the fruits of money. Chinese leaders are just as corrupt as US leaders.

  • Mostly left unsaid about the JPMorgan trading loss is the most crucial point, writes Sallie Krawcheck: The size and risk of the trade was identified not by management, but by the press, and then it took weeks for JPM to put a number on the loss - and this from one of the savvier management teams. Regulators need to take note before heaping more complexity on an already incredibly complex business.  [View news story]
    Wish I could read the article. I won't sign up to FT.

  • Gold: A Seismic Move Is Coming [View article]
    No problem....when I think of SEISMIC I think of Japan a year ago. It's like a double or a triple vs. current prices. I will easily buy a 10 - 15% per year upside for the next 5 years.

  • The Achilles' Heel Of The U.S. Economy [View article]
    Bob - I'd be ok with a concept like that. The original intent was not to influence the markets creating an element of inflation in other assets. But with some proper, intelligent oversight, perhaps there is something that could be done that would kill multiple birds with one stone. I don't want someone like J. Corzine being unjustly enriched by having a finger in a pie where it doesn't belong.

    Looks like another SA title imposition. Otherwise you conclusion doesn't support the title. I don't think a Seismic move is coming. That would require some external event of terrifying proportions. However, I do see continued upward movement as the US continues with $1.5 Trillion deficits for at least the next 5 years. That suggests to me a persistent march upward.

  • Is The Latest Euro-Scare Now Behind Us? [View article]
    Move about 20 million Greeks to Germany and 20 million Germans to Greece and things will change in about 10 -15 years. Better if you move some 25 - 35 year olds.

    No the scare is not behind us. Many will brush it over, but it will not go away until it is resolved.

  • The Economy Grows Under The Shadow Of Recession [View article]
    Freddy....with all due respect, I don't believe the projections of deficit/GDP. I don't believe we'll have deficits less than $1.5 T in any of the next 5 years, and if we do, it will be marginally smaller. I agree that we'll have slightly improving GDP, but if the GDP growth rate is lower than the deficit as % of GDP - say 2% vs. 9% then the ratio gets worse. Over the last 10 years, spending has grown at 2x the rate of revenue. It will take a magician to reverse that paradigm.

  • The Achilles' Heel Of The U.S. Economy [View article]
    Cutiger75 - we've printed $16 Trillion. Certainly we have spent a bunch of it unwisely and we are suffering for it in a lot of different ways, but printing money creates inflation / hyperinflation when the quantities are in the stratosphere AND when there is a shortage of goods or a disruption in the supply of goods into the market.

    To endow the SS system with $2 Trillion of additional funds in the form of US Treasuries would be nothing more than a "one time adjustment to interest earned" on the treasuries held in the SS Trust fund.

    1. It would not find its way into SS recipients accounts for the next 21 years.
    2. It would supplement 25% of the shortfall in benefits that will be payable in 2033
    3. It would be used by the vast majority of recipients as income to purchase normal living expenses
    4. It would not enter the stock market chasing yields in the interim
    5. It would not be invested in anything such as commodities.
    6. It's not designed as stimulus
    7. It doesn't shift current demand or supply
    8. It doesn't require a shift of consumption via higher FICA rates that lower take home pay

    All in all.....IMHO....it's a pretty good solution.

  • Where Are Gold Prices Headed: Flat, Down Or Up? [View article]
    Central Bankers will take any action required to assure liquidity in the financial system and to save the banking system - including things like dollar swap agreements. Anything they can conceive of in their brain to save their system - they will undertake.

    What do you think will happen the the EURO's that were used to bail out Greece if Greece goes down the toilet? They will vanish and where did they come from? Not from anyone's "paid in capital". They were created out of thin air.

    So 7th and Net.....is that the way it was the day after the Constitution of the US was ratified. "The price of gold....was what someone was willing to pay for it". Or was it "established" by the sovereign?
