Another Gold Shortage? Dutch ABN To Halt Gold Delivery

Based on a letter to clients over the weekend, it appears ABN Amro is changing its precious metals custodian rules and "will no longer allow physical delivery." Have no fear, they reassuringly add, your account will be settled at the bid or offer price in the 'market' and "you need to do nothing" as "we have your investments in precious metals."

Arizona Considers Making Gold and Silver Legal Tender

"Arizona could soon become the second U.S. state to recognize gold and silver as legal tender if the Arizona House approves SB 1439.

The bill has already won the approval of Arizona’s State Senate and the Arizona House Financial Institutions Committee which voted the legislation out of committee on a 4-2 vote Monday. The measure now goes to a vote of the Arizona House.

Thus far, only the State of Utah has officially recognized gold and silver as legal tender, (See: Gold, silver coins now officially legal tender in Utah) although the issue has been under consideration this year in four states including Arizona. The Arizona bill defines legal tender as a mode of paying debts and taxes.

The measure also states that any coin or bullion that has gold or silver content and is issued by the United States Government can be defined as legal tender. However, no one can be compelled to accept coin or bullion containing gold or silver. The measure would also mandate that coin or bullion containing gold or silver issued by the U.S. Government cannot be taxed as property since it is to be considered money..."

Jim Sinclair - All Hell Is Breaking Loose After Cyprus Catastrophe

“Well, it should have frightened many of the players involved, and served as a wake-up call. There was a great miscalculation made with regards to Cyprus, and the situation has quickly turned into a catastrophe. There was no real understanding of the entities that were behind the Russian corporations which have money in Cyprus, and the effect of what is in reality the confiscation of Russian ex-KGB money.

The people at the IMF, which have spearheaded this disaster, never expected the ‘Cyprus Solution’ to blow up in their face the way it has...."

The Party's Over - How the West Went Bust

"In the teeth of the worst financial crisis in living memory, BBC business editor Robert Peston examines how the world got to this point and how the colossal imbalances in the global economy have left the UK in need of a radical economic overhaul.

In this first of two programs Peston examines how, thirty years ago, momentous decisions were taken which shaped the world we live in today. In China, Deng Xiao Ping opened up the country to foreign capitalists; in Britain and America, the free market revolution was unleashed by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. The Party's Over compares the lives of workers in a Chinese company with their co-workers in Britain.

Robert Peston interviews bankers, politicians and economists, and concludes that the boom we enjoyed before the crash was based on an illusion, and that the world's economy is now so unbalanced that in the West we face a sobering wake-up call.

In the second program Peston asks how Britain can compete in the new world economic order. After years of living beyond our means the country surely needs to wean itself off the consumer society, but doing so threatens our retail dependent economy. In Germany the model of thrift and investment, far from the quick buck mentality of the City of London, has produced a powerful manufacturing and exporting economy that Britain, once so proud of its modern finance based approach, is desperate to imitate.

It is a long road to re-balancing the British model and with the Eurozone crisis still threatening further financial Armageddon  Peston asks whether we are in for decades, rather than years, of sluggish growth. Featuring interviews with senior economists, bankers and politicians, as well as the ordinary people in several countries, whose livelihoods depend on the outcome of this vast economic reordering of the world."

Dylan Grice Explains How Crackpot Central Bankers Are Destroying Society

"With their crackpot monetary ideas, central banks have been robbing Peter to pay Paul without knowing which one was which. And a problem here is this thing behavioral psychologists call self-attribution bias. It describes how when good things happen to people they think it’s because of something they did, but when bad things happen to them they think it’s because of something someone else did.... When we look around we can’t help feeling something similar is happening. The 99% blame the 1%; the 1% blame the 47%. In the aftermath of the Eurozone’s own credit bubbles, the Germans blame the Greeks. The Greeks round on the foreigners. The Catalans blame the Castilians. And as 25% of the Italian electorate vote for a professional comedian whose party slogan “vaff a” means roughly “f**k off ”, the Germans are repatriating their gold from New York and Paris. Meanwhile in China, that centrally planned mother of all credit inflations, popular anger is being directed at Japan, and this is before its own credit bubble chapter has fully played out. (The rising risk of war is something we are increasingly worried about…) Of course, everyone blames the bankers (“those to whom the system brings windfalls… become ‘profiteers’ who are the object of the hatred”)."

Rick Rule - Gold Poised to Bounce

(Video cannot be embedded, please click to watch)

"I think the technical are scary, but the fundamentals are pretty good. What you find in gold bull markets is retrenchments are fairly frequent, and this is nothing particularly unusual."

"It's worth noting, of course, that the fundamentals are excellent," he added. "Gold is denominated in U.S. dollars, and the government seems to be doing their best to depreciate the denominator."

Debt Collapse - The Case For $20,000 oz Gold by Mike Maloney

Ben Davies - We May Be Seeing A V-Shaped Bottom In Gold

"Maybe we've already reached the bottom end of the range, and from here we are going to get some V-shaped bottom and bounce back. But there is no doubt in my mind that monetary policy has shifted very aggressively towards monetizing more of the fiscal deficits.

That can only mean one thing in the interim and over the long-run, and that is more money in circulation, higher prices, and that is going to mean gold is going higher."

When Truth is Found to be Lie

"In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the four horsemen of the bondpoclypse riding into town bringing with them the reversal of multi-decades long trends and as pipe swipers steal toilets and as supermarkets hit the limits of cost-cutting, the population confronts the high cost of backsliding trends. In the second half of the show, Max Keiser talks to former energy regulator, Chris Cook, about how we move from dollar diplomacy to gas diplomacy and a world where energy as the modern water hole where you don't have to kill each other and a gas backed currency becomes a new global reserve currency in a post-dollar world."

Gold Will Rally to New All Time Highs

“In 2011 we had a buying climax when gold moved very quickly from $1,500 to $1,900. That marked an end of one stage.

I said, around that time, that we would go through a lengthy correction and congestion period, which we have done. We went from high optimism in the gold market to pessimism. Actually, the sentiment numbers you see in the gold market today are about as depressed as when gold declined in 2008 from over $1,000 to $700.

Corrections are to improve the technical situation of a market, and you go from high optimism to deep pessimism. That’s what has happened in the gold market ... They (various countries) constantly debase the currency which is bullish for the gold price. Therefore, the fundamentals remain fully intact for gold.

What was lacked was the improved technical situation of the gold market, and I think we are in the later stages of this cyclical correction. Probably this will end some time in the next two months or so, and then we will rally again and go to new (all-time) highs.”

Global Financial Market Cycles by Felix Zulauf

The Wicked Debt Web

"Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the wicked web that has been weaved when banksters first set out to deceive, the first law of thermo-derivatives which states that risk cannot be destroyed and the hot tub of fraud in which the taxpayer owned Royal Bank of Scotland weaves their web of deception. In the second half of the show, Max Keiser talks to Mitch Feierstein, author of Planet Ponzi, who shows us what the Fed's $3 trillion balance sheet would look like in a briefcase and the Central Banking bag of tricks that include: divert and deflect, delay and pray and extend and pretend. Finally they ponder whether we face a global reset or sovereign failures?"
