Use the above link to subscribe to the paid
research reports, which include coverage of several smallcap companies
positioned to rise during the ongoing panicky attempt to sustain an
unsustainable system burdened by numerous imbalances aggravated by
global village forces. An historically unprecedented mess has been
created by compromised central bankers and inept economic advisors,
whose interference has irreversibly altered and damaged the world
financial system, urgently pushed after the removed anchor of money to
gold. Analysis features Gold, Crude Oil, USDollar, Treasury bonds, and
inter-market dynamics with the US Economy and US Federal Reserve
monetary policy.
We are in historically unprecedented times. The
foundation is being laid for a default of USTreasurys in the wake of
the greatest regulatory failure in modern history, and the collapse of
the US financial system. Anyone who cannot see that suffers from poor
vision, chronic nostalgia, low mental wattage, a paycheck from Wall
Street, a post in financial press media, or owning an Economics
advanced degree. So many changes come with each passing day, not week,
that it boggles the mind. Many of us predicted $100 updays for gold,
and we almost saw one. The wheels came off the US financial wagon long
ago, but only now that fact is being recognized. The monetization
largesse finally has gone beyond the corrupt bailouts of fraud kings on
Wall Street. My longstanding forecast
has been that when the monetary inflation machinery spits output beyond
the sanctimonious walls of the Wall Street whorehouses, INTO THE
MAINSTREAM, that the gold price would rise substantially.
That process has begun, starting with Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac, and
now moving to AIG. Only when phony money floods the system where people
live, not where the elite conmen with strangehold control the
counterfeit processes, will gold shine. So many unexpected upcoming
events will occur, enough to make a forecaster dream. Let's begin with
the most important. Much more details are provided to Hat Trick
subscribers.
RAIDS OF INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS
This is so important a topic, that it deserves top
billing!!! Hidden inside the AIG bailout funding package, surely
hastily cobbled together, but carefully enough to include a totally
corrupt clause, was a handy dandy clause that permits raids. The conglomerate financial firms are
permitted at this point to use private individual brokerage account
funds to relieve their own liquidity pressures. This
represents unauthorized loans of your stock account assets. So next, if
the conglomerate fails, your stock account is part of the bankruptcy
process. Finally the corrupt USGovt and corrupt Wall Street houses are
desperate enough to put into policy, stated by the US Federal Reserve,
outlining the authorized raid of your money. Beware. A good route would
be to remove your money, start a subscription here, and open a
GoldMoney account, then purchase physical gold or preferably silver
with my offered discount. That cannot be taken from you, and will rise
5x for gold and 10x for silver in the next two to three years. The
actual evidence for legalized stock account raids by the financial
firms can be found in recent articles in Financial Times and Wall
Street Journal. So this is not a wild claim. The September 14th
article on the Wall Street Journal entitled "Wall Street Crisis Hits Stocks"
was the first exposure.
The runs on US banks are in progress. See Washington
Mutual, where private email messages have been shared by WaMu bank
officers. WaMu alone could deplete the
entire Federal Deposit Insurance Corp fund for bank deposit coverage.
Eventually the FDIC will compete for USGovt federal money for bailouts
and nationalizations. Eventually, bank deposits will not receive 100
cents per dollar, in a compromise. Next the bank runs will push banks
into failure, at a time when stock accounts are under raids, without
broad public knowledge.
GOLD TAKES LEAD IN CURRENCY WORLD
Did anyone notice that on Wednesday the 17th, gold
was up big, like over $50, silver was up big, like over 70 cents, but
the USDollar was essentially flat, even up a smidgeon? By afternoon,
the gold rise intensified, and the USDollar fell hard. THE MESSAGE IS
CLEAR: GOLD IS LEADING MOVEMENTS IN CURRENCY PRICES. The world did
flock to the USTreasurys, surely led by mangled confused central
bankers who have lost control. However, gold is finally being seen as a
safe haven. It will become highly amusing to observe a clueless cast of
corrupted minds attempt to explain why gold vaults past the 1000 mark,
and why silver vaults past the 20 mark. They will offer up reasons, and
if lucky, they will touch on at most three or four of the twenty
relevant reasons. Their confusion includes observation of the decline
in the crude oil price. Their eye is off the monetary panic.
Moral hazard is just an obstacle to be side-stepped
in such times. Today, Bill McCullum of PIMCO actually said "We
should not give one thought to inflationary consequences." He was
referring to gargantuan rescue packages and now global lending lines to
central bankers. And people wonder why gold shot up $80 yesterday, and
why silver silver shot up over $1 yesterday. PREPARE
IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE FOR GOLD TO RISE OVER $100 ON SUCCESSIVE DAYS,
AND FOR SILVER TO RISE OVER $2 ON SUCCESSIVE DAYS.
Inflation is soon to be seen as the remedy to prevent monetary
collapse. Gold just hit 900, and silver has reached 12.70 today. The
euro has risen 500 basis points just since Friday morning. Gold is not
rising sharply due to inflation concerns alone, although plenty of
monetary inflation is set to continue flying through the money
pipelines. THE REAL REASON WHY GOLD IS RISING IS FOR THREAT OF SYSTEMIC
FINANCIAL FAILURE CENTERING IN THE UNTIED STATES.
What factors are key to gold rising? Perhaps because
the US financial system is imploding. Perhaps because the USGovt
nationalization demands are accelerating. Perhaps because the threat of
default for USTreasurys is seen as inevitable, even imminent. Perhaps
because nitwits who have highjacked the White House and USMilitary are
planning something truly reckless on the military front in Iran.
Perhaps because the US Federal Reserve is depleted and secretly
insolvent, even as they put word out of an INFINITE BALANCE SHEET.
Perhaps because enormous demand has come in physical gold & silver,
despite the low price set by corrupt US PaperHangers. Perhaps because
fear has entered the room globally.
CONSOLIDATION AMONG THE DEAD
The financial firms are not just dead, they are
corrupt to the core. Perhaps one or two Wall Street firms will be left
standing in a year or more. Has anyone figured out why foreign pursuit
of Wall Street firms is blocked? Partly because foreigners cannot
assess the value of such complicated opaque assets, intertwined within
nests of acid pits. The other reason is
that US banking authorities wish to keep the protected corrupt evidence
within the Manhattan fold. The South Koreans wanted a
piece of Lehman Brothers, the best pieces. But they would have had
access to evidence needed eventually in criminal prosecutions. See the
KfW case of 300 million theft, possibly soon to emerge against Lehman
crooks. The German insurance titans wanted a piece of AIG, the dead
insurance giant. But they would have been handed access to evidence of
extreme vulnerability or criminality. Why were officers at Lehman
permitted to remove box after box from their building, when it should
be treated as a crime scene with yellow cordon tape? The answer has to
do with the Fascist Business Model, the merger of state with business,
where the syndicate facilitates fraud in deep collusion.
Why did Morgan Stanley stock go down hard after they
announced early their quarterly earnings? Possibly because nobody
believes they are honest. Morgan Stanley might be kept afloat longer,
so as to enable theft of brokerage account funds. Lehman does not have
private stock accounts, mostly bonds of the acidic type. So Lehman is
free to enter the trash heap of liquidation and the de-bone process for
assets. Meat is to be separated from bone. John Mack of Morgan Stanley
had better be careful, as he appeals for a Chinese role in a merger.
That could give the Chinese an important toe-hold in US mortgage bond
ownership. They are looking to convert mammoth USTBond garbage paper
into hard assets, as a foundation to a possible migration of one
hundred thousand to one million elite Chinese, to California, Arizona,
Las Vegas, and Florida. It is called colonization.
The moral of the consolidation story is that the dead
are marrying the dead. The Bank of America merger with Merrill Lynch
struck me as hilarious. Each is dead from insolvency. Each has big
counter-party risk from coverage of failed bonds. So they will now serve as each other\'s
guarantor of counter-party risk? Not in this world!
Imagine two fat men absent of musculature tossed overboard a ship. They
tell each other, "Stand on my shoulders and you will be fine for
breathing in this vast sea." They both sink. The end game for such
ludicrous indefensible consolidation is that the Wall Street fraudulent
corporations go down all together. A friend called last night from the
analyst community. He wondered aloud that nobody could expect the speed
of the breakdown. My response was to point out a strong message
mentioned here repeatedly. Since the Bear Stearns bailout killjob
merger by JPMorgan, all Wall Street investment banks are aligned in
similar fashion, with common bond risk and common counter-party risk. So when one Wall Street firm goes down,
several will immediately go down, and AIG is the umbilical cord to the
Main Street economy. This point was borne out as
wickedly true when the Lehman funding bailout failed. The parties
trying to bail them out, offering funds, all found themselves as
subject to writedowns immediately. The funds they offered were not
available, since the loop of price reality reduced the level of the
offered funds!!! That means they are all in the same boat, and if one
fails, they all fail. So the system will desperately attempt to avoid
any failing. Thus, the entire system fails.
As simple citizens, people should be concerned that
the US Federal Reserve and US Dept of Treasury have begun to take
actions far outside their own legal powers. The bailout of AIG was made
illegally. The USFed cannot act to aid non-bank entities. Senator Jim
Bunning has drafted Congressional legislation to limit the USFed action
outside the banking realm. The system is losing control, especially
with the law.
The parade of doomed deals continues. Talks have
begun for JPMorgan taking over Washington Mutual. Could the JPMorgan
�Garbage Can� be inadequate soon? Bank of America has entered talks to
take over Merrill Lynch, apparently striking a deal. Could BOA serve as
the alternative "Garbage Can" next, whose service would be as squire to
JPMorgan? Now Morgan Stanley is in talks to take over Wachovia. The
disaster du jour today seems to be State Street, which was down over
50%. The dominos are falling. THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR: THE DEAD ARE
MARRYING THE DEAD. It is unclear what music to play at such events. My
suggestion is something from "Phantom
of the Opera" would be apt.
The US financial sector became unglued this week. In
last week's article, the point was made that the financial system had
just that one week to lift the USDollar, to raid private accounts with
games like yanked credit and a raft of paper naked short gold &
silver future contracts. Then next week the brown excrement hits the
fan. Over the weekend, deals were attempted to be forged into the
night. Nobody seemed to ask the question why they were all acting like
in an emergency. What emergency? A condition ordered by whom? My
maintained point is that the Bank For Intl Settlements ordered the US
bankers to fix it or flush it!
Big news was expected from my analysis, and my Hat
Trick Letter newsletter. We got it! By the way, AIG was not on the
radar for numerous analysts. It was on my radar, a secondary radar. The
big banks are primary for my observation and monitor. WE ARE WITNESSING
A CONCENTRATION OF RISK, OF RUINED CORPORATIONS, AND OF THEIR ACIDIC
BALANCE SHEETS THAT IS SO GREAT THAT THE RISK OF US FINANCIAL IMPLOSION
GROWS BY THE DAY !!!
Blame for speculators continues, as nitwit players
within the fraud centers accuse others of speculation, and threaten
prosecution by their watchdogs on leash. Recent research failed to
disclose any collusion or illegal activity in the crude oil market.
That does not stop continued claims, with hue & cry. These
criminals are pathetic, if not consistent. Just when failed regulation
is at the core of the financial crisis, Wall Street conmen and clueless
Congressional legislators argue for more regulation and control, when
the regulators and controllers deserve prison terms. Instead, prosecute
the regulators and controllers, and begin with Alan Greenspan, and his
knights of the Stupid Table at the Federal Reserve.
The financial crisis continues each day. Last Friday
the currency markets smelled what was cited in broad terms as the end
of the OPEN WINDOW for the US banks. The euro currency rose over 220
basis points that Friday, and the pound sterling rose over 330 basis
points. Gold and silver firmed in price. Something tipped them off,
like huge flows of private money out of the Untied States. This week,
AIG and Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley dominate the news. On two
different days this week, the NYSE Dow Jones Industrial index fell over
400 points. Today, when the Dow Jones Index was up 170 points, in a
phone call to a trusted friend, we both agreed that the index would
turn negative before the afternoon, and close down. So far, that call
looks correct, as it was minus 100 points before now being up 50 to 60
points.
By the way, important option put stock positions are
in place against Goldman Sachs. They point to a strong likelihood of
the GSax stock falling to 80 or 85 imminently. The knock on GSax is
that they have lied about their subprime mortgage exposure, and soon
will be forced to come clean. The "GS" stock shares plummeted from 160
in early September, now to under 100. Justice is served. My guess is
their executives will profit privately from shorting their own stock.
Even their 6-month corporate paper must pay out 20% in bond yield in
order to attract funds.
UNIVERSAL MONETARY INFLATION
OK, so finally the US Federal Reserve has opened the
monetary spigots to England, to Europe, to Switzerland, to Japan, and
later to Canada. Not only is the monetary spigot overflowing inside the
Untied States, it is overflowing from the US to the world. At least to
the world affected (infected) by US control. The
total central bank infusions of liquidity (translated: phony money) is
$180 billion in the last several hours alone!! This
huge amount is not enough to quiet the LIBOR or the 2-year USTreasury
swaps. Gold is rising versus the pound sterling, the euro, the yen, and
Canadian Dollar, aka the loonie. This trend is new and powerful.
Central bankers are growing desperate. Their measures to open numerous
lending facilities have not stopped lending constraints. Even
commercial paper has fallen by $52 billion last week.
Clownish anchors and analysts cannot seem to
comprehend what is going on with the central bankers, liquidity
injections, market tanking, USDollar decline, and gold & silver
zoom. They wonder why the USDollar would continue to fall after central
bankers reacted responsibly. BECAUSE THE USTREASURY IS DOOMED FROM
INSOLVENT BANKS, EXTREME DEMANDS FROM NATIONALIZATION, AND RECESSION,
AGAINST A BACKDROP OF ENDLESS WAR FOR PRIVATE SYNDICATE BENEFIT. It is
obvious! Gold smells a systemic failure.
FOREIGN CREDITORS UNITE
A hidden initiative has been in progress for the last
two weeks. Foreigners are forced to supply credit for the Untied
States. Nations led by Russia, China, Arabs, and Japanese are meeting
to form a formal committee. They have a common purpose, to maintain and
manage massive US$-based debt securities in danger. Their continued
credit support is hampered by three magnificent factors, each a show
stopper. 1) The US banks are insolvent, 2) The Wall Street bankers
export fraudulent bonds, and 3) The USMilitary has acted with chronic
aggression in violation of established contracts, international
treaties, and disrespect for sovereign boundaries. So they are working to organize a committee
of giant USTreasury Bond creditors. They wish to confront the US debtor
with a single voice. Regard this important step as a prelude to
possible default of the USTreasurys. It is one thing to
be in trouble from insolvency. Add corruption from export of fraud, and
you have a bigger problem. Throw in military aggression, complete with
misreporting by a controlled press, and you have a crisis in need of
almost immediate remedy. My argument has been made for four years, that
foreign held US debt creates a threat to national sovereignty. Since
when are the Chinese our friends and allies? They are business partners
turned rivals, now adversaries. Since when are Russians our friends and
allies? They are energy and metals suppliers, betrayed by treaty
violations, now adversaries, even on the military front. Since when are
Arabs our friends and allies? For three decades an uneasy partnership
has been in existence, one that has turned into a blatant protection
racket. The endless concocted war on terrorism is seen by Arabs as a
war on Islam.
USTREASURYS AT RISK
Don�t be fooled by the drop in USTBond yields. That
is a symptom of collapse in my view. Yesterday, it was with great
disillusion yet satisfaction that my eyes and ears witnessed an
interview by a Standard & Poor analyst. He said there was no
imminent danger of a USTreasury debt security downgrade, but he did say
that if pushed, the S&P would put them on NEGATIVE WATCH. Interpret
that to mean the USTreasurys will soon be downgraded. Never is a denial
of such importance made without coming to fact and fruition later. Why
else is the topic even discussed? This line of thinking is basic when
ripping the BS from US financial propaganda. Notice the Credit Default
Swap price for USTreasury Notes. The price is around 0.24% for the
AAA-rated USGovt debt. Without colossal continued corrupt pressure
against the ratings agencies by the US thugs in financial orifices, the
USGovt debt would have been downgraded immediately with the launch of
the Iraq and Afghan Wars, or years earlier. The Shock & Awe should
have been reflected in USTBond risk.
CHECK OUT THE 1-MONTH USTBILL YIELD
The US bankers have lost control badly. Even ill-equipped USFed Chairman Bernanke
admitted recently as having lost control. He spoke to
economist David Hale at a Florida financial conference last week.
Bernanke said, "We have lost control. We cannot stabilize the
dollar. We cannot control commodity prices." The age of central
bank control, ala Soviet Politburo, is coming to an end. GOLD
RECOGNIZES IT. Check out the 1-month USTreasury Bill yield. Incredibly,
it closed under 0.1% yesterday. This ultra short-term bond yield
testifies to lost control and the advent of extreme conditions, the
prelude to an historical storm. Just what should the USTreasury
maturity yield curve look like before a default? Let me check, and get
back to you. Ooops, no precedent! The TED Spread (difference between
USTreasury and EuroDollar yield) has jumped up, another signal of
banking turmoil. In recent days, the tight grip control of certain
commodities has been lost by the Evil Ones. Even Morgan Stanley has
been forced to close down its trading desks at the Platts Window, where
they trade crude oil. The USCongress is equally lost. Today, a quote
came from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. They are unlikely to pass
new legislation to overhaul financial regulations this year. He said, "No
one knows what to do. We are in new territory, this is a different
game. [Neither Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke nor Treasury
Secretary Henry Paulson] know what to do, but they are trying to come
up with ideas." Gee! Maybe the chief architects of this grand
failure have a solution? They should be ignored then imprisoned.
Perhaps they are seeking final opportunities to steal, raid, and pilfer
from the public till during the final months of this Administration.
The 2-year USTBill yield has also plummeted, but not
as drastically. It is now far below the official USFed Fed Funds 2.0%
rate. Some thought the USFed might cut rates in an act of desperation
this week, me included. My guess is for two reasons, why they did not.
1) They did not want to project an impression of lost control, not
after the Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac bailout, not after the failed
Lehman Brothers deal, not after the shotgun wedding for Bank of America
& Merrill Lynch, not after the secret eloped marriage in the works
for JPMorgan & Washington Mutual, not after the merger of cadavers
planned between Morgan Stanley & Wachovia. And 2) the Bank For Intl
Settlements in Switzerland might have forbidden a USFed rate cut. My
maintained position is firm, that the BIS ordered the US to fix it or
flush it! Let�s watch to see if the 2-year TBill yield continues lower,
a signal of even more lost control.
THE USELESS INFLATION VS DEFLATION DEBATE
My greatest impatience is shown for those who attempt
to argue whether inflation or deflation is winning, and where we stand.
Such pursuits of chasing one's tail serves to illuminate nothing and to
waste time. We have both, will continue to have both, as both
intensify. The key is for monetary inflation to enter the mainstream,
which is underway finally. One can benefit little from putting the
unique crisis into convenient cans for purposes of organization. This
is not simple, and people should not attempt to simplify the ongoing
collapse of the Great American Experiment in Counterfeit Monetary
Systems. To be sure, we have gone past a tipping point. The move to
flood the monetary pools of phony money beyond Wall Street is the big
event. To be sure, the bankruptcies and deep insolvent events are
accelerating. To be sure, the desperation for attempted mergers is
palpable. To be sure, central bank activity with lending, swapping, and
even accepting stock equity as collateral is a sign of total absence of
any safeguard toward respect of moral hazard.
Looking for inflation vs deflation labels when the
failure and default of USTBonds and receivership occur TOTALLY MISSES
WHAT IS GOING ON. This is a death event for the US finances, US banking
system, USEconomy structure, and USTreasurys, all rolled together like
a gigantic vortex hurricane. Looking for (in) vs (de)flation in this
environment is like observing color schemes on walking dead as they
attempt to merge at a ceremony. They are of DEAD PARTIES ATTEMPTING TO
SHARE COUNTER-PARTY RISK. Looking for (in) vs (de)flation when dead
partners are marrying is like DECIDING WHETHER A HONEYMOON SHOULD TAKE
PLACE IN THE CARIBBEAN OR FRENCH COAST. They both go to the recycling
cemetery instead. The place to be now is in gold and silver, preferably
silver since central banks own none and because silver has strong
industrial demand. Besides, a silver default of sorts has been in
effect for several months.
It is with pleasure to attend again the upcoming
Cambridge House conference in Toronto on October 4 and 5. Thankfully,
my Frequent Flyer miles were used to cover the airfare from Costa Rica,
where the rainy season is coming close to an end. POR FIN! Is that
inflationary or deflationary? With absolute certainty, one can say WHO
CARES?
Buy gold, buy silver, do NOT use borrowed money or
leverage, and rest comfortably at night, since it cannot be taken from
you. Then patiently wait for gravity to work, for night to follow day,
for evil to be unmasked, for foreign creditors to arrive with hatchets.

C-SPAN3: ALERT "IT'S IN THE WATER"
