all three useless and not wealth creating.
all three an act of faith.




All three cannot be created from thin air by the banker elites with a few keystrokes. I put it to you careful that the 'act of faith' is what you hold with fiat money. A 'faith' that is increasingly losing ground, as any 10 year western currency chart proves.
'Sanity breaking out' is unlikely, I'm always on the look out for it, but unable to see any evidence of that phenomena yet.

buy gold, or a andy warhol poster or a tracy emin painting.
all three useless and not wealth creating.
all three an act of faith.

i just can't do it.
but keep on ramping, it seems to work.

i have the fear that a small cube of gold weight 10 lbs is supposed to be worth about $250,000.
the minute i bought it sanity may break out and the price would collapse.

Molyneux is a great original thinker, it's excellent to see people like him seeping into the mainstream consciousness.

Bond – and stock – investors have been sailing on the "Good Ship Lollipop" for over 30 years following the Volcker Revolution and the return of high real interest rates to investment markets. Now, however, with governments attempting to impose financial repression, bond investors should revolt. Their ship should more likely be christened the "USS Caine" in memory of a silver screen mutiny that, while traumatic, eventually returned all sailors safely to port. PIMCO advocates not so much a mutiny but a renewed vigilance on this new ship, stressing bond market "safe spread" alternatives available globally, including developing/emerging market debt at higher yields denominated in non-dollar currencies. Many of these countries have more pristine balance sheets and higher real interest rates than those currently being imposed in some developed markets subject to current and future "repression." If AAA quality is your requirement, then Canadian or Australian bonds may also fit your horizon. Join us, along with Carmen Reinhart, in shouting "constant bearing/decreasing range!" The Treasury market is on a collision course with financial repression and it is time to adjust your rudder to starboard to get home safely.

Welcome To Hyperinflation Hell: Following Currency Devaluation, Belarus Economy Implodes, Sets Blueprint For Developed World Future



Tyler Durden
Zero Hedge
May 26, 2011

"A '91-style meltdown is almost inevitable." So says Alexei Moiseev, chief economist at VTB Capital, the investment-banking arm of Russia's second-largest lender, discussing the imminent economic catastrophe that is sure to engulf Belarus following the surprise devaluation of the country's currency by over 50%, which we announced on Monday. "Unless Belarus heeds Russia's call for mass privatization of state assets, it is headed for "hyperinflation, massive un- and under-employment, and a shutdown of production" Moiseev concludes.

Oil Will Be Major Economic Driver

Global Resource Investments Founder Rick Rule likes to look for unpopular investments because that usually means the prices are cheap. Today, that means oil, natural gas, uranium and geothermal. In this Energy Report exclusive excerpt from his talk at the Casey Research Conference in Baton Rouge, Rule explains the global forces that will lead to big payoffs in undervalued energy stocks.

Hedge fund managers pour assets into farmland as doomsday food scenario approaches

Wednesday, May 25, 2011 by: Neev M. Arnell

Going back to the land has always been thought of as a thing for hippies, eco-nuts, and doomsday survivalist, but now hedge fund managers are jumping on the bandwagon too.

The New York Observer recently spoke to such a hedge fund manager working on a fund that ranks as approximately the 15th largest farmer in America.

The media first picked up on the land investment pattern in 2008 in the February Times of London piece, "The Hedge Fund Manager Who Bought a Farm," which detailed a British hedge fund manager's attempt to play off the rising prices of grains in order to get a hold of local farmland. It was followed shortly by coverage by the Financial Times that said hedge funds and investment banks were "swapping their Gucci for gumboots".

Rogers held back a little, the 'mistakes' he was referring to are big governments and central banks, those who strangle productive businesses, whilst subsidizing themselves and other unproductive institutions. Their economic model is broken, the more they interfere the worse it gets, welcome to the future.

"The world is coming to a point where we've gotta to pay the price for several decades of mistakes"


This is great, BBC meets Rogers, consensus propaganda versus the truth and that's the thing about these truths, politicians and their lackeys (the BBC) don't like it, and are looking for someone to blame.

The UK is concerned about banks that warehouse commodities
Posted by Izabella Kaminska on May 24 14:00.

Yikes. This is hot off the wire on Tuesday:

RTRS-UK GOVT COMMITTEE SAYS IT BRINGS ACTIVITIES OF LARGE DEALERS ON LONDON METAL EXCHANGE TO ATTENTION OF OFFICE OF FAIR TRADING

RTRS-UK GOVT COMMITTEE SAYS 4 LARGE COMPANIES OWN LME-REGISTERED WAREHOUSES, CALLS THAT "RESTRICTVE"

RTRS-UK COMMITTEE NAMES JPMORGAN , OWNER OF WAREHOUSER HENRY BATH, AS ONE OF THOSE 4 COMPANIES

RTRS-UK COMMITTEE SAYS WOULD BE CONCERNED IF OWNERSHIP OF WAREHOUSES BY DOMINANT DEALER ON LME WAS ANTICOMPETITIVE

RTRS-LME SAYS MINOR METALS TRADE ASSOC. ASSERTION TO UK PARLIAMENT ON METALS WAREHOUSING IS "UNJUSTIFIED AND COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT"

And here are the full findings, via the UK Parliament's Science and Technology Committee:
