Hi bts! I'm as baffled by that incident as everyone ??? Stealth dumping ? Stealth monetizing ? Counterfeiting scam ? Until we learn more about these
instruments , the two gentlemen involved , and/or the parties they represent.....who knows?
Some press reports refer to a cache of
US Treasury Bonds , others cite the financial contraband as
Federal Reserve Bonds. If the paper
proves to be so-called FRB's , then I have to go with counterfeit.
See
note 3 at the bottom of the
page....
"Sometimes Federal Reserve Notes are altered to become "Federal Reserve Bonds" rather than notes. The Federal Reserve does not issue bonds of
any nature."
If the issues in question prove to be valid Treasury Bearer Bonds...well , there should be quite a story here...but as you know , whether or not
we'll ultimately be privy to the facts, is another story in itself.
Gold was overbought , and once again , what should amount to normal profit taking , was leveraged by the cabal...but not without a battle. Every
take-down attempt becomes a little less effective...more good guys step-up with conviction...bad guys forfeit ground...and momentum eventually
reasserts itself. But please don't feel sorry for the commercial sector , they manage to rake obscene profits off illegally concentrated short
positions while attempting to paint another smear of lipstick on a tired old Uncle Buck.
Needless to say , Gold in a range above $1000 is anathema to any and all proponents of paper currency...the psychological death knell...it won't come
easy.
During the previous quick breaks above $1000 (March 08/Feb 09) , price out-ran fundamentals...next time will be different imo...just another month or
two.
Unfortunately , not only Gold , but the entire commodities complex is beginning to move. The popular CRB commodities index is heavily weighted energy
, so with crude ramping to $70 , we would expect to see it POP...and it has , but , the lessor quoted
CCI , an
equally weighted commodities
index is also breaking-out.
That link represents intermediate
reflation in graphic form.....think groceries
