Buffett Won't Sell Japan Shares as Earthquake Creates 'Buying Opportunity'


Billionaire investor Warren Buffett said Japan's record earthquake is a buying opportunity and he won't sell his shares in the country as its future hasn't been changed because of the temblor.

Buffett canceled a trip this week to Japan to visit a factory owned by Iscar Metalworking Cos.'s Tungaloy Corp. in Fukushima prefecture, home to the reactor damaged in the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, and the site of the worst nuclear disaster in 25 years. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK/A) owns 80 percent of Iscar, a maker of cutting tools.

Thats the first three, someone on youtube has put up 50 Rogers clips in the last week. So far it's all new material to me, however it's not current, stuff from the last 8 years. If anyone wants proof that Rogers is one of the best forecasters on the planet, these clips do it.
I expect I'll be linking to this site a lot in the future but I'm not putting up the 50 already there.
There's a link in the header now under 'new blog'.

Bookmark the link, this person seems to be serious data hunter, 50 uploads in their first week of youtube membership, nice..

This isn't funny at all. It's what we can expect from them, it's a case of no justice, just us.
The hypocrisy of this charge is breathtaking, the verdict tragic in the extreme, the sentencing horribly unjust.

The 'jury' failed humanity in more ways then they will ever understand.

Meanwhile this guy who hurt nobody and just wanted to help, will be robbed of the rest of his life to rot in a cell, and his millions of $, which he wanted to share? Stolen by the very government that is guilty of all they have charged and convicted him with..

No, you couldn't make it up.



"Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism," U.S. Attorney Tompkins said in announcing the verdict. "While these forms of anti-government activities do not involve violence, they are every bit as insidious and represent a clear and present danger to the economic stability of this country," she added."




FBI Busts Mastermind Criminal For Issuing Silver Currency, Demanding Repeal Of Fed And IRS; Faces 15 Years In Prison

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/19/2011 12:36 -0400

The FBI, which apparently has no major criminals to pursue, is now busting those who are preparing for the dollar's imminent destruction. Bernard von NotHaus, head of the National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve and Internal Revenue Code, commonly known as NORFED and also known as Liberty Services (his website can, or rather could, be seen here), which since 1998 has been issuing silver coins as a replacement for the relentlessly devaluating US currency, was convicted today by a federal jury of making, possessing, and selling his own coins. " Following an eight-day trial and less than two hours of deliberation, von NotHaus, the founder and monetary architect of a currency known as the Liberty Dollar, was found guilty by a jury in Statesville, North Carolina, of making coins resembling and similar to United States coins; of issuing, passing, selling, and possessing Liberty Dollar coins; of issuing and passing Liberty Dollar coins intended for use as current money; and of conspiracy against the United States." The devious scheme for which von NotHaus faces up to 15 years jail time: "

Agri-Food Thoughts

By Ned W Schmidt C...03/17/2011


Frailty of monetary policy under delusional Keynesians is evident whenever we think about Agri-Food. Price increases for Agri-Foods may be causing measures of consumer prices to rise in many countries. That "inflation," which it is not, is causing some discomfort for politicians around the world. The textbook response, per the ineffective and inbred Keynesian economists, is to tighten monetary policy, perhaps raising interest rates. We ask one simple question: How does raising interest rates cause the supply of Agri-Food to rise, forcing prices lower? Will higher interest rates keep the price of shoes from rising?

All hell is currently breaking loose following an explosion at reactor #2 and a another hydrogen explosion at reactor #4 per Kyodo, leading to a 16% drop in Nikkei futures as blind panic grips Japan. Kyodo essentially confirms there was a reactor meltdown as radiation levels at Fukushima 3 are now 400 times legal levels. And topping it all Japan's warning that all people within 30 kilometers from Fukushima should stay indoors and that the radioactive winds may reach Tokyo in as little as 8-10 hours. The BOJ has just intervened to prevent the yen from surging, as the following chart shows. Our prayers are with the people of Japan.

Japan`s Disaster And How It Impacts Commodities
"No, it will increase demand because with the nuclear power plants being closed down or damaged or under duress, Japan will have to import more oil, everybody in the world will now look at their nuclear power plants again and probably have more demand for oil and natural gas. Japan is now going to rebuild, that is going to cause big increases in demand for copper and other things. Japan wasn't building very much in the past 10-15 years, now there is going to be a big jump in the demand for building materials in Japan." - in Economic Times

Are The Prophets Of Doom Right About Major War, $200 Oil, $2000 Gold And Dow 5000 By The End Of 2012?


Are the "prophets of doom" right? Is a major war going to erupt in the Middle East? Is the price of oil going to $200 a barrel? Is the price of gold going to hit $2000 at some point over the next two years? Is the Dow going to drop to 5000 by the end of 2012? Right now there are some very respected financial experts that are making some absolutely stunning predictions. Charles Nenner, Gerald Celente and Lindsey Williams are all frequent guests on popular television and radio shows and they are all forecasting very difficult economic times over the next couple of years. So are they right?

Well, only time will tell. But it really is quite alarming that so many experts with such long track records are warning of economic disaster.

So what exactly are some of these "prophets of doom" predicting? Well, let's take a closer look at some of them.

In this first video, Charles Nenner, a former technical analyst for Goldman Sachs, tells Fox Business that he is projecting that a major war will start some time around the end of 2012 and that the Dow is going to plunge all the way to 5000....
