I Am Not Optimistic About Gold

I am not optimistic about gold at the moment because what is happening in India is possibly going to ruin the gold market for a while. If I can stay solvent, and alert, maybe that will lead to a huge buying opportunity in gold again.

India is the largest buyer of gold in the world, has been until recently, now China is eclipsing them because India is cutting back. The indian government is blaming all of its problems on gold, they do not take responsibility, no politician ever has. So they put some tariffs, doing their best to make it impossible to import gold.

The Only Thing That Worries Me About China

only thing that worries me about China is the water problem. If they don`t solve the water problem, there is no China story. They know that too and they are spending a lot of money trying to sort out their water problem. But that`s the only thing that would end the China story. Everything else is temporary and is not a problem.

Artificial Sea Of Liquidity

We have this artificial sea of liquidity, created by all these central banks, printing staggering amounts of money. This has never happened before. I know how it`s going to end but not when it`s going to end.

How Central Banks Are Perceived

The central bank is supposed to prevent slowdowns, is supposed to prevent all sorts of things, they are supposed to make sure that none of us have any problems. That is ludicrous because mankind has not changed over the past few hundred years and will not.

Federal Reserve: Half Of The Members Are Worried About QE

Even on the Federal Reserve, the central bank in America, half of the people know that this ultimately is not going to be good. You read the minutes and you see that half of them are already getting very worried about it. I am not the only person who knows this is madness.

This Has Always Led To A Disaster For A Country

People who saved their money, invested, did not buy 4 houses with no money down and no job. These people are being wiped out at the expense of the people who did.

And the reason is, there are more of them, than people who save and invest. Historically this has always led to a disaster for a country. You wipe out the people who save and invest and your country becomes a basket case.

Nobody Wants To Study Engineering Anymore

In America more people study Public Relations than study Agriculture. All our farmers and miners are dying. The Colorado School Of Mines which used to be the premier mining or engineering school in America, maybe even in the world, now gives MBA`s, because nobody wants to study engineering anymore.

Radioactivity Is Now Spreading Around The Pacific: Impacts On The Fish Markets

Maybe fish could be an alternative because it turns out that the Pacific is becoming extraordinarily damaged, polluted. The nuclear explosion in Japan and the water, all that radioactivity is now spreading around the Pacific and so all fish is in my mind suspect, or certainly it will be suspect.

So if you have a pan full of fish that is not radioactive, chances are you are going to make a lot of money.

There`s Another Slowdown Coming

We are going to have a global financial collapse because of these guys. In the U.S. we have had economic slowdowns every 4 to 6 years since the beginning of the republic.

In 2001-2002 we had a problem and then we got over it, the government printed a lot of money. By 2007-2008 and 2009 we had our next one, which is the way it always works. It was worse because the debt was so, so, so much higher.

Now you wait till the next one. There is a next one coming despite what they keep telling us. And when the next one comes, the debt is going up by staggering amounts, not just in the U.S. but worldwide. So when the next one comes it will be even worse. Let`s hope the world survives that one.

Federal Reserve: They Will Have To Stop Some Day

They know they will have to stop some day. The Federal Reserve has already quadrupled its balance sheet in 5 or 6 years. I mean, will it quadruple again in the next 5 or 6 years? It cannot work. It cannot happen that way.

What Leads To Wars

Through out history when you have shortages of raw materials, especially food, it almost led to war. Whenever you have a dominant power, which is stagnating and going into decline, and then rising powers, they have always clashed.

If you look at the recent decade or so, you can see that it`s a lot like the period between 1900 and 1914.

The all time high on Sugar was 66 cents, so it`s down 75 percent. That`s just in nominal terms. There`s not much in the world that it`s down 75 percent cheaper that what it was 37 years ago. Sugar is one of those things.

The Market Eventually Will Force The Federal Reserve To Cut Back

The market eventually will force them (Fed) to cut back. Eventually, the market is going to say, "we do not want this garbage paper anymore, we do not want to play this game anymore". But, I do not see that happening anytime soon. - in Economic Times

Yellen: No Clue About The Real World

She sounds like our problems, if you ask me. We had enough of these Ivy League professors who have no clue about the real world and think that money printing is the answer to everything. I think she is part of the problem, certainly not the solution.
