attrader, the link between increased M2 and stock prices is weak, but in theory at least that should be the case. Some of that money should flow into stocks, however more should flow into commodities in this environment. I think there is some evidence that this has already happened over the last decade.

Shocking Charts And Statistics That Prove That America Is No Longer A Wealthy Nation




The Economic Collapse
December 9, 2011

How do you decide whether you are wealthy or not? Do you determine that by how much money you spend at the stores? Of course not. You can tell if you are wealthy or not by comparing your assets (the money in your bank account, equity in your home, etc.) to your liabilities (your mortgage, credit card debt, student loan debt, etc.). Well, a lot of Americans seem to believe that just because a lot of money is circulating in our economy that it must mean that we are a wealthy nation. But that is simply not true. To tell whether or not America is a wealthy nation, you need to look at the balance sheet numbers. And when you look at the balance sheet numbers, a very sobering story emerges. Over the past three decades, government debt, business debt and household debt have absolutely exploded, but our assets have not. That means that we are getting poorer as a nation. Hopefully the shocking charts and statistics in this article will help a lot of Americans to wake up. Yes, we once were the wealthiest nation on earth, but today America is no longer a wealthy nation.

Ron Paul Should Be The Next President Of The United States






The opinions expressed here are those of the author and are not necessarily shared by Forbes.

The United States of America may potentially be on the precipice of a Greek-style debt crisis within a few years, and our economy is increasingly looking like it may be at risk of entering another recession – and the Financial Crisis 2.0 could make the Great Recession look tame. Simply put, the Fed and Treasury have bloated their balance sheets to such grotesque levels to fight the deflationary forces sparked in the economy as a result of the housing collapse that there will be no more temporary "smoke-and-mirrors" fiscal and monetary options to circumvent another downturn.

Average Savings 'Down By A Quarter' For Over-55s As Living Costs Rise


The average savings pot among people aged 55 and over has fallen 27% over the past year as more households dip into funds to meet day-to-day living costs, a report by Aviva says.

The company said it had been an "annus horribilis" for those in the age bracket, with the average level of savings and investments now at £11,153 compared with last year's average of £15,262.

While the figure has been skewed by the fact that more people started to save during the year, Aviva said it believed it also reflected a trend for households to raid savings accounts due to a reduction in their income.

Legendary investor Jim Rogers on CNBC - 29 Nov 2011 asked about the physical gold versus the paper gold : The paper market has become huge in the past few years just like the paper wheat market is much more important than the physical wheat market , the paper market in gold and in precious metals can go both ways of course because it is a lot easier for people to sell their gold now , you got to see a lot of redemption in the paper market and that's going to drive down the physical market . Jim Rogers Sees Gold Correction . The price of gold has been rising for 11 years in a row and the precious metal is due for a correction, investor Jim Rogers, chairman of Rogers Holdings, told CNBC.

Fumbling for a bottom

Bob Moriarty
Archives
Dec 5, 2011

December is often the peak for gold shares following a rally lasting from September after a long boring summer of declining values. For 2011, it's been a long boring year with gold shares in a constant decline.

Silver peaked in April with a classical top that fooled all of the silver "Gurus" watching the world through manipulation colored glasses. Gold peaked in September just before John Paulson got a margin call. His sale of gold whacked the price by $105 in a day and all the gurus could do was bray at the moon. "It's a conspiracy."

Actually it wasn't a conspiracy at all; it was merely John Paulson and a margin call.

Most investors, indeed most "Gurus," get it wrong constantly but the successful ones realize their readers will forgive any error, no matter how massive, as long as the investor's fantasies are reinforced. We don't reinforce fantasies here at 321gold; there are dozens of sites that will tell you what you want to hear. We tell you what you need to know.

I have been consistent in what I've said since I called the top in silver to the day in April. Cash, cold hard cash has been the safest investment for the last eight months. All things change and we are about to enter a great period for mining shares.

The "Occupy" peaceful protests continue with half of the commentators not having a clue as if they ever do. And the police continue to increase the level of gratuitous violence. One day soon they will pull a "Kent State Massacre" and send an agent provocateur into a crowd to fire a weapon so the police can start murdering innocent protestors. Things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get any better.

The Euro may well blow sky high in the next week with an important meeting set for the 9th of December. With any luck someone will do the math and realize that it's mathematically impossible for the Nanny State to actually deliver all the promises they have made.

Israel continues with their plan to dominate the entire Middle East from the Nile to the Euphrates as set out in the "Clean Break from the Peace Process" written in 1996 by the biggest bunch of nutcases to ever control the government of the United States. These dual national traitors to the United States have done far more damage financially and to the reputation of this country than any enemy power in American history.

Their next goal is to ferment a nuclear World War over fictional Iranian weapons that 16 US government agencies have all agreed don't exist. Former General Wesley Clark commented on what he was told just days after 911. The upcoming wars against Syria and Iran were planned many years ago. Once more Israel will drag the United States into an incredibly stupid war on behalf of the Zionists and we will lose. There is an excellent chance it will destroy both Israel and the US.

Both Russia and China have made it clear that they would look with great disfavor upon any attack on either Syria or Iran. While the US continues to lob hypersonic weapons at Iran's peaceful nuclear program, readers should be aware that it would take but a single EMP weapon over any one of 15 major US cities to create total out of control chaos in 72 hours across the entire US. If I'm smart enough to figure it out, don't you think the Russians and Chinese could? The US has a just in time food chain. Any disruption or scare could cause a run on food stores in a day.

With all the bad news on the plate, it might seem incredible that someone would actually predict a bottom for metals shares. How can shares go up in such gloom? Actually the answer is pretty simple. Shares don't move based on fundamental analysis or technical analysis. Lots of people use them but how many people do you know who are rich from using a ruler?

Markets are moved by psychology and little more. Elliott Wave is accurate. In hindsight. But even the believers in Elliott Wave can't agree on the count.

In May of 2001, three months before we began 321gold, I wrote an article predicting a bottom for gold and silver. While gold hit its absolute low in August of 1999 and silver in December of 2001, calling a bottom in the late spring of 2001 was about as close to pinpoint as you can get. And as lonely, there were few saying gold and silver was cheap and destined to go far higher.

I just came back from a gold show in San Francisco last weekend. I'd guess there were 150 or so mining companies there. Most of them I have never heard of before. Lots of companies weren't there.

But what was really noteworthy was the lack of public participation. I wandered by to see a few people speak in the speaking hall. There couldn't have been 40-50 people there listening and I'd bet a bunch of them were from the industry, not the public. We have $1700 gold and $32 silver and the public doesn't care. It was worse than in the spring of 2001.

The very best chart for measuring psychology would be a chart of the XAU over Gold. Until August of 2008 you could with great accuracy predict both tops and bottoms. When gold dropped to $700 and silver dropped to $9 in October of 2008, the chart of the XAU over gold registered the lowest readings in history. Investors simply didn't want shares. The gold and silver shares continued at low levels into early December of 2008 even while gold and silver started back up.

To give you an idea of how irrational some investments got, in October of 2008 platinum sold some $50 cheaper than gold for a short period just as the XAU over Gold showed the lowest readings in history.

Today while we have $1750 gold and $33 silver, platinum is a record $200 cheaper than gold and the XAU over Gold chart shows the lowest readings since late 2008. I think the metals shares have bottomed and even if gold and silver went down, the shares should go up once the silly season of tax loss selling is over.
