Gold Thoughts; Markets Await Friday Employment Data

5/31/12
This column talks a lot about gold. For the record: #Gold up this morning but set for worst May performance in 30 years http://reut.rs/KLqfSF. If that news is not bad enough for gold… it can be measured another way: Gold set for 4th down month — biggest monthly losing streak in at least a decade http://bloom.bg/JRRl9t.

Boilerplate Market Reporting; Euro Mess; Weak Paper Gold

Yesterday (Wednesday), the usual market boilerplate reporting was in full force within the media. Stocks did rise by 1%. The best reason that CNBC, as an example, could come up with was that stocks rose on “optimism” in Europe. As usual, very funny stuff. This morning all the “optimists” have apparently taken their “less optimistic” pills and futures are signaling a lower open. It’s the typical uninformed information that investors are regularly presented with. As JP Morgan....

Sick and Tired of Greece in the News?

• Blame should be aimed at the banks, though Greek culture has something to do with this, but the banks clearly took advantage of the situation for their own gain, or so they thought. They don’t want a nasty little secret to be revealed: life in Greece, where the present PM is an appointed banking technocrat, would go on without the banks. Going back to the drachma and suffering a 60% overnight drop in buying power would be tough, very tough, but life would continue. It’s called the will to live.

A Profane Market Tirade That Makes Valid Points; Farcebook; Gold

A Market Tirade from the ‘The Fly’
I concur with what is below. It’s as if the guy was reading my mind, but it’s his own tirade.
“You do understand how superficial the stock market is, right? People in the real world, working 12 hours a day to pay for their inflated rents couldn’t give two sh^ts and a gay mule about Greece or the Nasdaq. (They) are the unlucky ones, who for some reason have been targeted by disease, whose only wish is for a “good day” and are totally ignorant to Facebook’s great big ipo blah. Please read more...

Our Kenyan Born President Obama vs the Birthers

So it turns out I was wrong. The birthers weren't as kooky as I thought now that the literary pamphlets have surfaced. Obama's allies are trying to assert it was a mistake by the agent - right, a mistake that went on for years. Very funny... a big LOL. The anti birthers have been checkmated, but do enough people care? I guess they care enough in Arizona. All I can say is 'good luck' to our Kenyan born president. 

Obama is perfect for the masses who will turn and look the other way. The Kenyan born president's closest supports will be able to take comfort in knowing that the Constitution, to the masses, and its requirements are words from the distant and largely forgotten past. 

Of course, there are some of us who know the story and even the rest of the story.

Greece, JP Morgan and What's Really Going On; Gold Bounces

Rebound Attempt Thursday; Gold Glitters in the Eyes of Goldman and Rogers; Presidential Election Year Market Performance

5/10/12


Stocks are attempting to bounce off of support which as noted yesterday was looming. Gold managed to bounce off the lows yesterday and is flirting with $1600. One of the positive inputs for the market is the 1,000 (I guess they are desperate) decline in jobless claims. The trade deficit in March ballooned to over 51 billion. The significance with that figure is that it will take .4% percentage points off of GDP and knock it from 1.9% to 1.5%. Now that’s a vibrant recovery! haha. Read more...

Market Muddle; Tune Me in On The Radio at 10 a.m.; Errant Gold Thoughts

What’s the old nursery rhyme? I see England, I see France, I see your underpants? France is still on the minds of investors – so too Greece. There was no crash yesterday, but market sentiment is damaged. The Dow tried to end higher, but still finished the day a bit weaker with a 29 point decline.

Thinking About Francis Schaeffer Tonight $$

A theologian who knew what was coming 40 years before hand.

Readers should further investigate Schaeffer. His full series is on YouTube.



There is a reason for the dignity and value of each individual. Christ is a standard for our lives. In the financial realm, gold is a standard - don't let the corrupt system of today fool you.

From a financial perspective, gold is a judge of the authoritarianism that has allowed profligate spending and money creation to go unchecked. Fortunately, the suppression of the price of gold becomes more difficult thanks to worldwide participation in the gold trade.

Gold and more than a dollars and cents proposition, it is directly connected to the social situation of society.

Election Correction; Buffett and Gold (ugh); This and That on a Monday $$

Election Correction

U.S. stock futures looked scary late yesterday evening in reaction to key favored agents of the banking cabal in Europe losing political contests. Sarkozy of France has been ousted by the voters and members of the Greek ruling parties aligned with the Troika failed to win a majority to form a new government... please read more: http://www.certifiedassets.com/inv/news/election-correction-buffett-and-gold-ugh-this-and-that-on-a-monday/

Election Correction or Crash Coming from Europe? $$

Election Commentary
5/6/2012 9:40p ET

U.S. stock futures have weakened as favored agents of the banking cabal in Europe - Sarkozy of France and members of the Greek ruling parties aligned with the Troika - were defeated (as was the case with Sarkozy), and neither ruling party in Greece able to win a majority to form a new government.

The overall meme is that Euro austerity government policies are falling due to an unhappy electorate. The outcome of these elections are seen, as of today, as an indicator of future elections in Europe that could be a signal of the end to the European Union, which in turn would slow global economic growth if the European system collapses.

Is this the real deal setting us up for a stock market crash?

REVISION as of 2300 ET... Not likely a crash, but it appears as if there will be a swoon at the open. QE bargain hunters will determine of early losses stick. At least, it will be an interesting day in the market. Watch gold for across the board liquidation, OR (very important) a flight to quality move. As usual treasury yields are sinking in a safe haven like move.

A Not So Wonderful Thought About $CROX

CROCS

Is there further near term shorting ahead for this stock? I noticed an informal Facebook “research poll" in the side column where the advertising is. 75% of poll respondents say they will "definitely not buy" $CROX shoes in the next 3 months. The stock broke support Friday in the 19 area. January Gap fill next in the 15 area?
