I hope all of you paid close attention to what happened to GOLD on Friday.
In case you missed it, ...it shot up $66.10 in one day! The high point was $70, then it pulled back.
So let me see, ...it dropped by $50 an ounce, making it less expensive to acquire,
...then shot up by $66.10 an ounce. Basic 3rd grade math tells me that overall, GOLD is up... like I knew it would be. That's why I don't worry in the least about temporary pullbacks, ...infact, I welcome them.
Just wait and see what starts to happen next, ...it's gonna be one hell of a ride, ...especially now that GOLD is back on the table as a possible means of either collateral or settlement for sovereign debt issues. A revaluation is imminent. More likely sooner than later.
And let's not forget the fact that now the FED, the largest holder of US Debt is demanding that banks purchase US Debt. It seems now the banks are being ordered to buy toxic debt. It was bad enough before when no one knew those CDO's were toxic, ...but now they now the US Debt is toxic and can never be repaid, but they are being ordered to buy it, or face audits & scrutiny they know they will not be able to stand up to.
It's just another toxic CDO, ...only this time, the collateral for these debt obligations is YOUR savings and labour... and that of your children, ...and grandchildren etc.,
Looks to me like the FED is attempting to reinflate a treasury bubble, so I'll be sticking to GOLD.
When that treasury bubble pops... LOOK OUT!
I call it the treasuries trap, and I plan to stay well away from it.
