Been thinking about it more and don't know what the impetus will be at this point to drive precious metal prices higher. I think in the short term prices will be solid with a bias towards upward movement.

The average person thinks the economy suffering the market back up to former top highs here ...wary of anything above this now .

Big LTRO (ECB money printing) coming up in Europe tomorrow to bailout the banks. Whisper uptake is around 300-450bil. I recommend shorting any banks who take part in the LTRO. The bigger uptake the closer they are to failing.

Everything is bullish in this market now. A massive LTRO is bullish because of the carry trade. A small LTRO will mean the bank's credit crunch hasn't gotten too bad yet.

Given the size of the LTRO2 and the fact that central banks are going to start buying US equities outright, I'm extremely bullish through the end of this year.

Even though the real economy is in shambles and housing continues to to decline I believe equities may very well make new highs this year.

Next Leg Of The Ponzi Revealed - Foreign Central Banks To Begin Buying US Stocks Outright Starting Today

The Bank of Israel will begin today a pilot program to invest a portion of its foreign currency reserves in U.S. equities.

The investment, which in the initial phase will amount to 2 percent of the $77 billion reserves, or about $1.5 billion, will be made through UBS AG and BlackRock Inc. (BLK), Bank of Israel spokesman Yossi Saadon said in a telephone interview today. At a later stage, the investment is expected to increase to 10 percent of the reserves.

A small number of central banks have started investing part of their reserves in equities. About 9 percent of the foreign- exchange reserves of Switzerland’s central bank were invested in shares at the end of the third quarter, the Swiss bank said on its website.

The investment will be made in equity index trackers and will include between 1,500 to 2,000 shares, among them stocks like Apple Inc. (AAPL), Saadon said.

In other words, while the Fed's charter forbids it from buying US equities outright, it certainly can promise that it will bail out such bosom friends as the Bank of Israel, the Swiss National Bank, and soon everyone else, if and when their investment in Apple should sour.

Luckily, this means that the exponential phase in risk is approaching as everyone will now scramble to frontrun central bank purchases no longer in bonds, but in stocks outright, leading to epic surges in everything risk related, then collapse and force the Fed to print tens of trillions to bail everyone out all over again, rinse repeat, until this chart becomes asymptotic. We say luckily, because it means that the long overdue systemic reset is finally approaching.

This rally is going to be a wild one. Monetizing everything now! AAPL to $900 Anything is possible now.

I just think it is really cool that the banks now have 100% more on their balance sheets in a four year period, and almost every individual and family's balance sheet has shrunk or stagnated.

I guess there is no inflation and the world populace isn't being fleeced. How wonderful the kool-aid tastes.

the kool aid is only real as long as you believe in it is really grape-juice and not just 'artificially flavoured drink'.

take that son.

go drink it up lol.

While we are at it the Fed balance sheet appears to have increased 222%. If the FED were government owned then by implication we would have increased our collective social war chest by 222%. This would be disgusting beyond belief but what is even worse is The FED is not owned by the US populace or government and therefor a handful of unknown owners has seen their balance sheet increase 222% (trillions of dollars in total) by running printing presses. Meanwhile real estate owners, retirees, and the average worker is taking it in the teeth.

Oh how sweet the kool-aid tastes.

 

[bombadil.360]

who gives a fuck about the fed's balance's sheet?

I could use it as toilet paper it it were printed on tissue.

who gives it such sheets meaning?

you!

why do you do that?

who taught you to give meaning to such meaningless shit?

 

[Hydrosun]

If you double someone else's stack in a poker tournament and leave everyone else's stack the same you fucked everyone equally except for the looter.

Well we are fucked with $4 - $6 gas $1800+ gold, stagnate real estate values, and increasing tax burdens. Yeah but who cares they threw a bunch more chips into that ass holes stack everyone else has the same pain as me so all is good.

Maybe those drinking the kool-aid are crabs in a bucket instead of poker players?

I love having you as my little mindless troll.

so $5 a gallon is cool then? what about $6? how about $20?

you can live on a beach and catch your own dinner and not give a shit about any of this but for the modern civilized world it makes a huge impact on nearly every aspect of our lives. (Trucks that bring food to cities, they run on gas usually)

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and if you think everything is peachy and things are lookin up, more power to ya. The people that are prepared for the worst and hope for the best will end up on top.

that TP will cost ya an extra 60% though.....
