The Cartel Showed the World its “Jack High” Hand
READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER It's Sunday morning, and I'm starting early as there are just too many "horrible topics" to wait until Monday! The title of today's RANT is the self-explanatory "REHYPOTHECATION," but that's not where I'm starting. Instead, let's talk about the "news" that German newswire service MNI "retracted" Thursday's [...]
The Final Act of Financial Hubris
READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER It's very early Friday morning - OK, where to start? From my perspective, yesterday was an important INFLECTION POINT in the political and financial WAR to "save the status quo." TPTB are faced with an untenable situation - a COLLAPSING financial system with no hope of improvement, and consequently INFIGHTING [...]
What caused gold to fall yesterday?
READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER Today’s daily is longer than usual, in part because the Mail Box section is pregnant with reader’s questions and comments. The Mail Box section is always at the end of the daily and you may not get that far, but really, it contains some of the best insight in the daily and my wife Susan, for one, never misses [...]
Literati!
READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER It's still Monday evening, and I have a lot to write for Tuesday's RANT, as information is besieging me from all angles. Like a young songwriter or novelist, I am in the prime of my creative career, and frankly have too many thoughts to articulate. Funny how it took this long to peak, as I have been writing [...]
Backwoods Jack is STILL sporting his Rose Colored Glasses.
READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER An email from Backwoods Jack: Dear David, DOW will pass through 13,000 before gold hits 2000 and the dollar index 50 as you predicted by this time long ago. No one is starving in the US. Plenty of places to get food and shelter! Sinclair said when Gold hit 1650 it would soar with all the Middle East problems. [...]
“The Sound of Smart”
READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER Today's RANT is being written in stages, the first between Montreal and Minneapolis Friday night and the second Sunday morning, en route between Minneapolis and Denver, with the third and final stage to be completed Monday morning. Given the unending torrent of "horrible headlines," I wanted to use my flight time to [...]
Why Wait for “QE News” When it Never Ends?
READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER Before I start RANTing, here is a link to an interview, posted last night, I taped Monday morning with the SGT Report: The Gold & Silver Con, Hyperinflation & The Euro Collapse ...and another, posted yesterday, with the Financial Survival Network's Kerry Lutz... Kerry Lutz: [...]
The central banks are terrified that deflation will overwhelm the world.
READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER No sooner did the Fed and other central banks announce that they were bailing out the world, once again, the price of gold catapulted up in a vertical move. Silver followed right along. Zero Hedge: Here Comes The Global, US-Funded Liquidity Bail Out ZeroHedge: CHINA BEGINS MONETARY EASING, LOWERING [...]
Twice in a Lifetime
READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER Here we go again! One day of rising stock prices, care of a spirited, PPT-aided media attempt to spin "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday" as symbols of meaningful progress, and the news is abuzz of "green shoots of recovery." Due to the factors listed in yesterday's RANT, I take the opposite view entirely. In other [...]
A few words on the armed robbery over at MF Global
READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER The US-based producer Price Index (PPI) is corrupted in obvious ways. The distortions continue on all inflation measures. Take a simple approach. From early October to mid-November, crude oil has risen from $75 to $98, while the PPI energy component put out by the clownish USGovt officials is highly negative. Even the [...]
