Bonnard, I'm sorry that is the case, I've removed the link. Again I seemed to have no problem with the site. I picked up the link in the 'interesting & timeless' section of 321, who tend to have safe links. I've used 321 for 10 years now, problem free.



May I ask, do you use the Internet explorer browser?

Don't go to that earth plus link, I think it has a virus.

Record U.S. Cattle, Hog Prices Seen on Shrinking Herds, China



Live cattle for April delivery closed at $1.1515 a pound in Chicago on Feb. 18.

U.S. livestock prices may reach records in the next two quarters as farmers reduce herds while China imports the most pork since at least 1992 and the largest amount of beef in three years, according to Societe Generale.

Lean-hog futures will climb to a record $1.10 a pound in the second quarter and live cattle prices will be at an all-time high of $1.30 a pound by the third quarter, Societe Generale SA said in a report. The bank correctly forecast higher grain prices in May. Chinese imports of pork will gain 5.7 percent in 2011 and beef purchases will advance 43 percent, U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates show.

World food prices rose 28 percent in the past year, reaching a record in January, according to the United Nations. Riots partly linked to food inflation ended Zine el Abidine Ben Ali's 23-year rule in Tunisia and Hosni Mubarak's three-decade- long rule in Egypt. Finance ministers from the Group of 20 nations last week signaled concern that surging commodity costs are driving inflationary pressures around the world.

A very, very good contemporary documentary.


'Inside Job' provides a comprehensive analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008, which at a cost over $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse. Through exhaustive research and extensive interviews with key financial insiders, politicians, journalists, and academics, the film traces the rise of a rogue industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia. It was made on location in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore, and China.

"Look at it as insurance, and hope that you lose money on your gold"

Superb, this is from the guy who once said something like "at the end of the world, gold will go up the most".
Nobody wants to lose money on their PM holdings, but of course he's right, it's the metal that the higher it goes, the worse things go for vast majority, and that's not good for anyone. I think PM investors tend to forget this.

47 Statistics That Indicate That Economic Stress Points In 2011 Could Be Setting The Stage For A Global Economic Meltdown In 2012



The American Dream
Feb 16, 2011

Is the world approaching a devastating global economic meltdown? Right now there are a large number of factors that are creating economic stress points all over the globe. All of the crazy money printing that the Federal Reserve and other central banks have been doing is putting inflationary pressure on agricultural commodities, oil and precious metals. Massive floods, horrific droughts and extreme weather patterns all over the globe are ruining crops and creating food shortages. Some nations are now actually hoarding food, and in other nations rising prices have sparked food riots. The price of oil has been moving back towards $100 a barrel, and if it stays at a high level for an extended period of time that is going to have very serious consequences for the global economy. In addition, the growing sovereign debt crisis could erupt again at any time. Half a dozen nations in Europe are on the verge of insolvency, Japan's national debt is now well over 200 percent of GDP, and the global financial system is growing increasingly concerned about the exploding national debt of the United States. The truth is that the entire world financial system is a house of cards balanced on a razor's edge and it could come down at any time.

Oh dear, Jim took a flight to the renmimbi and look what happened with it.
China issued yesterday its cpi and it was reported at 4.9%. I thought it must be manipulated because if prices in China rice above the 5% it always means trouble.
Bingo. The National Bureau of Statistics changed the index. Food was reduced with 2.2%, Housing increased with 4.2% and a lot of other parts reduced with the remainder. Food was up with 10.3% and on a month on month basis with 2.8%. Housing is an artificial and static part of the index and moved hardly.
What about runaway inflation. In 1994 cpi rose with nearly 25%. Because the index is stil for a third food it could happen again.
