interestrateripoff Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 http://www.zerohedge.com/article/mike-krieger-why-2011-not-2008-why-it-much-worse-and-dow-gold-parity This is NOT 2008 This is not 2008, it is much, much worse and far more dangerous. This will not simply be the collapse of the banking system (although I fully expect that), rather it will be the collapse of the central banking system. This will not be the temporary collapse of some phony paper wealth, it will be the permanent destruction of real wealth and the end of how the economy functions today which we can simply call “the system.” While many people think the stock market will fly up 5,000% as it did in the Zimbabwe hyperinflation I have never held this view and still do not. I do however believe that the Dow Industrials and the price of gold will trade at a 1:1 ratio. If I had to take my best guess that level will be around 5,000. That said, I may change my mind about this depending on what happens going forward but I still think that is the most likely scenario. I have not commented on the Dow/Gold ratio for awhile but I think the time has come to do so because I anticipate a MAJOR move here over the remainder of 2011. Below is a chart of this ratio going back both eighty years years on a monthly chart and five years on a daily chart. ..... No one expects this and even those that do are probably not positioned for it. Everyone thinks if stocks plunge gold will plunge. I think they are about to move in opposite directions and in a massive way that virtually no one will be positioned for. Only time will tell, but I think those calling for a major plunge in everything are wrongly staring at a time capsule from 2008. Charts and more at the link. A big call from someone I've never heard off. But he's claiming total central bank failure, that will prove interesting. Although to be honest I'd rather not live through that sort of period. Interesting that he feels gold will go up in value if central banks fail. Not too sure on that gold might hold it's purchasing value although gold itself is a pretty useless metal.

Did I mention state failure? It's obvious - at some point people will hand their worthless paper currency in and tell the taxman to stuff it.

Toilet paper, tinder, paper mache, using to block drafts. There's a 101 uses for money if you think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its poor as paper mache because of the cotton content means it doesn't bind properly.... back in the 1990s when erm... large amounts of cash were moved around sometimes it got wet. Very wet but it would always separate cleanly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misanthrope Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Usually with a knife and fork, although if I'm eating fruit I don't usually find I don't need utensils. Could you please tell me how many article's I've posted today of dubious sources? I thought in the above I made it clear it was by someone I'd never heard of, hence hinting take it with a pinch of salt. Avoiding the double negatives, you've averaged 23 posts everyday for approx. 33 months. I'm concerned for you welfare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravity always wins Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Nothing personal, but you need to go away and do something useful with your life. Posting on here 24/7 will not do you any favours - especially as you're only posting news articles from all sorts of dubious sources. No offence, but the changes that NEED to happen in the UK, won't happen sheltered behind a keyboard. How do you eat? Did you read the article?

The article doesnt make sense. Central banks are the institutions that own all of the gold. Even if gold goes up in paper terms or paper goes through the floor the system can not collapse when the central banks own all of the one asset that everyone imagines will be turned to.

Nobody would want their main product that earns them the big bucks producing something out of nothing and then charging us for the pleasure. Having said that a central bank with gold cannot go bust technically . Its a moot point really. Volker was able to raise rates once the Fed had been saved by rising gold prices in 1979 gold/mzm ratio external debt equilibrium. We shall soon see if the Fed can get away with it again.

They'll have to spend their gold to function and therefore economic power will shift away from them in time. Zee gold, she is not infinite! Which is the whole point of it.

Market would just replace their product overnight. It's why theres never going to be a deflation of any real size, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
