C2I,

I'm ok, not too enthused about stocks atm, I'm guessing September may be bad this year. Precious metals are doing well but I can't bring myself to top up at these levels. The food and energy sectors still interest me.
What financial institution do you think Rogers has shorted? He said it was a popular one, so that should rule out Goldman, I wonder who he has targeted.

Russian 'spies,' goldbugs and the struggling dollar

Was the alleged Russian spying, in part, a commodities or currency play?

by Heidi N. Moore, contributor

When federal officials arrested 11 alleged Russian spies yesterday, it seemed natural that the accused agents would be interested in the CIA leadership, the Obama administration and Afghanistan. But who knew that they were goldbugs?

Jim Rogers on Gold Inflation and Fiat Currencies

I know the old (gold) high, adjusted for inflation, is over a couple thousand dollars an ounce. I know it'll get over that in the next decade. It depends on how much they debase the currencies. It's all part of the same picture... most governments everywhere only know one thing and that's to print and spend money that they don't have. Whenever you do that, it debases currency, always has, and until I see some governments realize that they have to do something else, then I plan to own gold and other precious metals and other real assets.

Jim Rogers on China and Tourism

Q : Which Chinese industries are poised for the best long-term growth?
Jim Rogers : Tourism is one of them. The Chinese have not been able to travel for the last 300 years. Now they can. Some of us remember when suddenly the Japanese appeared on Madison Avenue. There are around 125 million Japanese. There are more than 10 times as many Chinese. You can imagine as they flood the world with tourism it's going to be growing for years to come. Chinese agriculture is another thing I think is going to boom because it's such a wreck. The Chinese government is throwing money and incentives at agriculture.

The New Ideological Divide

Peter Schiff
Jun 29, 2010

Despite the apparent deficit-cutting solidarity that emerged from this weekend's G-20 meeting in Toronto, it is clear that the great powers of the industrialized world have not been this philosophically estranged since the end of the Cold War. Ironically, in this new contest, the former belligerents have switched sides - the capitalists are now the socialists, and vice versa.

We now are witnessing a struggle between two camps that I playfully call the "Stimulators" and the "Austereians." Both warn that a worldwide depression will ensue if governments now make the wrong choices: the Stimulators say the danger lies in spending too little and the Austereians from spending too much. Each side also has their own economic champion: the Stimulators follow the banner of Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, while the Austereians are forming up behind the recently reformed former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan. (It is cold comfort to witness "The Maestro" belatedly returning to the hard-money positions that characterized his earlier years.)

Guest Post: Will you answer JFK's call?
June 27th, 2010 by Damon Vrabel
Respond

"Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country."

That wasn't just another cheap talking point from a politician's speechwriter. It was the last real president's attempt to remind the American people of the need to self-govern, to play our part in keeping the republic, rather than being passive, submitting to the rising banking/corporate/military empire, and becoming debt servants. Will we finally heed his call?

This video explains some of the things JFK might ask us to do today–the "to do" list some of you have been asking for. It also points out the nexus between economics and our psychology and spirituality. Our current economic system, driven by the predatory financial system, has profoundly impacted both in negative ways. It imposes destructive, controlling energy from the top-down. We need to respond from the bottom-up with positive energy rather than the incessant negativity we typically see. I think it's the only real hope of changing things, given the level of control in the system at this point.

Some of you may already be shouting "impossible!" Well, it would require nothing less than the next Enlightenment...certainly no small task. But hardly impossible. Join us at the Council on Renewal and the Council's blog after the
video.

Mum's the Word

There's an old adage about not seeing the forest for the trees. It means getting wrapped up in the details of a circumstance and losing appreciation for the big picture. Sometimes we need to step back and look at things from a different perspective. Consider the extraordinary situation that currently exists in the silver market. We have the unprecedented circumstance of great numbers of investors and observers openly complaining to market regulators about an active manipulation in silver. This has never happened before. There have been commodity manipulations but widespread knowledge of these manipulations only came to light after they ended, such as the Hunt Brothers in silver and Sumitomo in copper. What's unprecedented about the current silver manipulation is that the allegations are coming in advance of any resolution. This fact creates profound investment implications.

Soros Says Germany Could Cause Euro Collapse


CNBC
June 23, 2010

German's budget savings policy risks destroying the European project and a collapse of the euro cannot be ruled out, billionaire investor George Soros said in a newspaper interview released on Wednesday.

"German policy is a danger for Europe, it could destroy the European project," said Soros, who earned $1 billion in 1992 by betting against the British pound.

He added in an interview with German weekly Die Zeit that he "could not rule out a collapse of the euro."

"Right now the Germans are dragging their neighbors into deflation, which threatens a long phase of stagnation. And that leads to nationalism, social unrest and xenophobia. Democracy itself could be at risk," he said.

Gold is amazing. It's been very strong, hitting record highs last week. Its bullish price action means investors and governments know it's time to be in safe assets. The result is, gold continues to benefit as the world's #1 safe haven.

GOLD IS MONEY

We're also seeing first hand gold's role in the monetary system. Few people understand gold's importance over other forms of wealth but if there was ever a doubt, it's been erased by gold's reaction to ongoing financial developments.

Gold is money. Most governments regard gold as a monetary instrument, and it has been the international currency for thousands of years.

Sigh...

The truth often can be very ugly and politically unacceptable, that's why they put the word 'theory' in front of the word 'conspiracy'.

Sure, some of the stuff out there on the net is beyond belief, but some of it is fact beyond rational debate. I think Max Kieser is prone to some exageration but I suspect he's more right then wrong. With time we will know one way or the other.



All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

German philosopher (1788 - 1860)
