The New Bubble in the Barbarous Relic that Is Gold
In recent months gold prices have risen dramatically, first breaching the US$1000 barrier, then jumping another 20% in the past few weeks, surpassing US$1200 before correcting downward again to around US$1100. Some gold-bug bulls say the gold price could eclipse US$2000 in the next couple years. Is that possible? Is the recent rise of gold prices justified by fundamentals? An analysis of the facts suggests that a good part of this rise in gold prices is driven by a bubble.

Warning – Warning – We are Doomed – Science has established the cause of our Doom – Repent Ye Sinners and Obama will save you”The Global Problem of Turbulence CoolingDec 11, 2009Could the widespread use of windmills be responsible for recent observations that the European continent is rapidly cooling?[Chairman] “This session of the Rotterdam Congress on Global Turbulence Cooling in the year of our Lord 1647 will now come to order. [Gavel strikes] Before the initial period of testimony and investigation begins, the chair recognizes brief opening remarks by Mijnheer de Dokter Jut Om Brom, the leading expert on windmill effects in climate change.”Mijnheer Om Brom has been studying the significant lowering of European temperatures since 1612, and has concluded that the then recent introduction of windmill pumping stations around the Netherlands, with their subsequent adoption in other countries as grain processors and irrigation devices for croplands, has led to an increase in wind turbulence throughout Europe and Western Asia.”Dutch scientists have been sounding the alarm about global turbulence cooling since it was realized in the last decade that a decline in cereal grain production, as well as the freezing of previously clear winter shipping lanes, is causing food shortages and population shifts to become serious threats to future prosperity.”Mijnheer Om Brom if you please.” [Applause from the panel and from the assembly][Om Brom] “Thank-you Mijnheer President. Thank-you members of this august body. As you all know, the windmill has come to symbolize the technological achievements of the Dutch inventive spirit. With the windmill, new lands have come to exist, raised up out the ocean, itself. The outstretched sails of a great wooden windmill represent the triumph of ingenuity over the forces of Nature that resist our growth. Other cultures have created new uses for the windmill, increasing the quality of foodstuffs, and developing more efficient ways to cultivate their land holdings.”However, with the windmill has come an unforeseen circumstance. As this chart indicates, temperature readings over the last thirty years from the steps of Saint Laurens Church right here in Rotterdam, show a steep decline when compared to those taken in the middle of the last century by the previous clergymen.”A team of internationally funded research scientists are now suggesting that it is the windmills that are causing this downward trend because of additional air turbulence generated by the vanes. As can be demonstrated by these graphed equations, turbulence is a direct result of spinning vanes and propagates outward, influencing the movement of surrounding airflow patterns.”These equations have been vetted by a number of independent study groups who agree that, with some adjustments for North Sea ice increases, along with a slightly warmer Mediterranean Ocean, the turbulence causes regional cooling. Although the models are complex, it is indisputable that human-made windmills will soon result in a global cooling crisis.””As the airflow becomes more chaotic, it is unable to hold sufficient heat, allowing that heat to dissipate. When heat dissipation increases, turbulence increases, resulting in an ever greater heat loss. We expect that within the next century, perhaps within the next ten to twenty years, turbulence will become so great that nonstop cold winds will cause an overall freezing of our country, eventually chilling the remainder of the continent.”[Chairman] “Very disturbing conclusions, Mijnheer Om Brom. What do you suggest as a course of action?”[Om Brom] “I have no other conclusion to offer than that an immediate program of windmill reduction be instituted. Also, because the major contributors to global turbulence are those who create the windmills, sell them and install them, I think that those nations who make the most use of windmills should be required to offset that use by buying “turbulence credits” from non-windmill nations. In that way, the non-windmill using countries may continue to increase their economic development, while not contributing to further turbulence.”Here is my Spanish colleague, Mijnheer Don Quixote to explain his views. He has already begun a private program that he hopes will result in fewer windmills in his own country. He has need for additional funding in order to carry that cause further.”[Chairman] “The chair recognizes Mijnheer Don Quixote.”[Don Quixote] “Gracias Senor Presidente. I have long desired to leave my village and take up the profession of knighthood, for I am spurred on by the conviction that the world needs my immediate presence. The order of knight-errantry was instituted to defend maidens, to protect widows, and to rescue orphans and distressed persons. Neither fraud, nor deceit, nor malice has yet interfered with truth and plain dealing.”[Chairman] “I understand, Mijnheer Quixote, that you have been engaged especially in a campaign to destroy as many windmills as you can find. It is a strong stand, yet may not be the most effective political posture.”[Don Quixote] “Truly I was born to be an example of misfortune, and a target at which the arrows of adversary are aimed.”[Chairman] “Is it your contention that these facts about global turbulence are true and deserve the maximum response?”[Don Quixote] “Facts are the enemy of truth. God, Who provides for all, will not desert us; especially being engaged, as we are, in His service.”[Chairman] “Thank-you Mijnheer Quixote. And thank-you Mijnheer de Dokter Om Brom.”Stephen SmithNothing changes…Ho hum

It’s true that there has been a substantial contribution to the gold price due to recent futures speculation. Not surprising, really. Therefore, an adjustment can be expected. But the most noticeable thing about gold … is that no-one who holds physical metal is selling any of their the assets. That says something very important.PeteCA

Yes, for the large part, gold-bugs are not speculators, but long term investors. Speculators in gold might well get a bloody nose in the short term, but in the long term the gold-bugs will do much better than they would have done with stocks or US bonds, and history over the last quarter century supports this point of view.

What financial stake do you have on any of this? Just wondering why you’re obsessing about it so much…As for myself, I have ZERO in the game. For each side I can unearth massive deceptions, but to claim that any in and of themselves refute an underlying premise does grave disservice.Of course, if you’re wanting to bolster the Creationists nutty thinking then you could do no better than continually slam science.Dick Cheney was able to get away with helping to murder millions because of his “Precautionary Principle.” There’s some merit in the reasoning (though his use of it was a lie), that even a 1% chance of something that’s a high-impact event is worth pursuing.Remember people: science is a process. And, climate change, of significant degree, WILL happen. Science, therefore, is not WRONG (that’s the argument of the Creationists; science is neutral- what humans do with it, well, that’s what the issue is).Just because a truth is leveraged for some ulterior motive doesn’t make it an un-truth.Be careful of the poor logic used by the deniers.

“Fix” the economy.[WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- A controversial amendment to allow bankruptcy judges to modify mortgages so homeowners can avoid foreclosure will be voted on as part of sweeping bank reform legislation under consideration by the full House.The House Rules Committee on Thursday, which is charged with deciding which provisions can be attached to major legislation under consideration on the House floor, cleared a vote by the full chamber on dozens of provisions including the so-called "cram-down" measure to enable bankruptcy courts to reset mortgage terms."It's going to be contentious," said House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., after being questioned about whether he believes it will pass.The cram-down measure, which was introduced by Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, would allow bankruptcy courts to extend repayment periods, reduce interest rates and fees and adjust the principal balance of mortgages so homeowners can avoid foreclosures.]Why should the banks even care, as long as the fed continues allowing them to make free money in order cover the losses? Moral hazard not even an issue these days! Screw the people that did not buy into the bubble, sitting on the sidelines waiting for prices to fall.hlowe

Speaking of Gold and Silver in Bullion form (or coins) stamped as pure and not jewellery form or paper form:Holding bullion in a private and secret warehouse is a natural expression of a lack of confidence in government and all that hangs off it eg FedRes, Bureaucrats, “experts”, etc., and especially that huge bulge of “true-believer” type morons (refer Eric Hoffer) that believe anything that their hormones and emotions get attached to in the ignorant desire to please those they consider as mannas delivering gods (read: politicians and wannabe “leadership”, greens,.pseudo scientists, talking heads, etc.).IOW holding Gold and Silver is innate to survival or entrenched in the thinking man (a rare being on this planet) and even as Mr Guest says above, a conservation of wealth.2/3 of the World’s population is represented by Asia and Asians freely buy Gold and Silver in its pure form where in the West, such bullion is not generally available to the man in the street so as a consequence, people of the west just don’t understand anything about Gold while in their insolence, they think that everybody in the World is as stupid as they are, they are not!For instance when I speak of Gold I am always referring to pure 99.9999% gold and not western junk while others and most likely referring to that fashionable crap sold at a premium in brand name junk shops in the West.Back to basics and fundamentals: In the end it is all about demand and survival and as Jefferson said , there is no place for “trust” as in government it, er, trust will always disappoint (I paraphrase) but his statement was related to the creation of the US Constitution which now, and sadly, and in most part, has be trashed.You Americans have everything for your survival while we or I. if you prefer, ie, we in foreign countries, just wonder just how stupidly you trash the greatest country, and Co institutional Republic ever created by free men, for free men.As an investor, where would you place your final investment? On the government or in bullion and bullets?As for the Guest above with his/her comments on propaganda and financial stakes, I would respectfully suggest that you have quite a long way to go before survival instincts, read: innate response mechanisms (IRM) kick in, or if you prefer, maturity.!Ho hum

Not sure if it is because of reading Animal Farm and The Fall of Rome at school, but I just don’t see any hope of real change, change that is for the good of the people of our great country.The banksters (TPTB) who own and operate the Fed also own and operate the Punch and Judy sideshow in Washington. They will not release their grip on power/debt (it’s one and the same) easily, as we saw in the Senate today.Yet across the land pitch forks are starting to stir in sinister ways.I really hope that 2010 will not see the financial maelstrom I’m expecting, because worry it may be more than a straw on an agitated camels back.

My source says:The Fed audit provision which passed the Financial Services Committee a few weeks ago is part of the bill. This is a real milestone, as it means that the full House of Representatives has passed a bill that mandates a complete audit of the Fed.The effort to audit the Fed – supported by 79% of the American people – is gaining traction.Call your Senator and demand that the Senate approve the bill to audit the Fed.http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2009/12/guest-post-house-passes-bill-to-audit-the-fed.htmlHo hum

NO JOBS for a long time? So, Obama and Congress, most of us went to school when they really taught Math, and your numbers dont add up as described below. you need to explain to us how you are going to help us dig out of this Depression we are in. There is no WWII to help. If you dont, this time you will all be replcaced every 2 and 4 years. There are now enough affected people (over 80 million) by NO JOBS for them and thier families…How about1. Capping bank profits2. Capping insurance costs3. low interest small buiness loans for everyone who can write, spell and add4. lower income tax rates on Small buinsness5. Meaningful tax crredits for fortune 3000 companies who hire people6. A real fix the roads, bridges, trains, sewer, water systems that is nationwide…7. Solar/wind energy for every home in america that is located in an area where it would help.8. Fix Education once and for all… College is out of reach for most American youth now and K-12 is broke to the point of not being fixable.Lies, Damn Lies, And Government StatisticsJohn Mauldin|Dec. 12, 2009, 9:29 AM | 26 |PrintTags: Economy, Unemployment, Jobs, EmploymentWe are clearly starting to get some better data points here and there. But as I pointed out this summer, it is going to be a recovery in the statistics and not in the things that count, such as income and employment. This week we look at the nascent recovery (which could be at 3% this quarter) and try to peer out into the future to see what it means. We look at how recoveries come about, and why I am concerned that we will see a double-dip recession. Plus, I learned some new tricks courtesy of my new granddaughter, to whom Tiffani gave birth this week1 There is a lot to cover, but it should be interesting.But first, a quick commercial nod to my subscription service, “Conversations with John.” It was one year ago this week we launched the service, and we are pleased that so many of you have subscribed. As a bonus for renewing or subscribing, I am going to be doing a special predictions issue, where I will interview at least six analysts who have been right the past few years and ask for their specific predictions for the coming year.For new readers, this is where I sit down with some of my friends and hold an in-depth conversation, generally 45 minutes to an hour, and post it on our web site, along with a transcript. We have had some fairly well-known names over the past year, and the reviews from subscribers have been excellent.As a Holiday Special, we are offering a subscription at the special price of $129. Just click on the link and type in the code JM09 when asked to do so in the subscription process (at the conclusion of the process, not the beginning, but we’re working on that.) This is a big savings over the regular $199 price. Just click on the link to learn more and see what subscribers are saying. http://www.johnmauldin.com/newsletters2.htmlPlus, when you subscribe you get access to the Conversation archives. That is worth the price of admission itself. And now, let’s jump into The Statistical Recovery.Thoughts on the Statistical RecoveryIn the ’50s through the early ’80s, recessions were typified by large layoffs at manufacturing businesses, as they had built up too much inventory. Businesses had increased capacity and often borrowed a little too much. Rising prices in the ’70s, along with extremely high interest-rate costs, led to the two severe recessions of the early ’80s, which Paul Volcker had to essentially force into existence, in order to begin the process of wringing inflation out of the economy.But, and this is important, as the economy improved, inventories were eventually worked through and employees were brought back to work. Things returned to normal. The economy would once again grow at a robust rate. Then, in the last two recessions, in the early ’90s and early ’00s, it took longer for employment to rise. A great part of this was because the manufacturing sector of national employment was becoming an ever smaller part of the economic pie. We were, and still are, turning into an economy driven by services.I should note that, on an absolute basis, manufacturing in the US has grown (going back to before this recession started.) We just produced more “stuff” with fewer employees. We became more productive. But this means that there are fewer jobs that will be brought “back” to make up for increasing sales than in past recessions. There are estimates out that as many as 2 million of the 8 million jobs lost are permanent job losses.We know that businesses have made large cuts in numbers of employees in order to address lower sales and to increase their profits. Increasing profits by cutting costs even as the “top-line” sales number is shrinking is not a growth strategy that can be sustained. It also eats into research and development and postpones growth.How likely are businesses to bring back employees if they have found they can produce more with less? This is a prescription for the mother of all jobless recoveries. A few weeks back, I went into some detail outlining why employment is likely to be uncomfortably high for a number of years, and that assumes we do not go back into recession. The graph below is the most likely scenario. You can see the entire piece, which goes into detail on this and other scenarios (developed with Mike Shedlock), by clicking here.Quoting from that letter: “In August, I did an interview with CNBC from Leen’s Fishing Lodge in Maine (http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1207956774&play=1). The unemployment numbers had just come out. I did a back-of-the-napkin estimate that we would need about 15 million new jobs over the next five years just to get back to where we were when the recession started.” It rather startled some of the hosts – “Where can we get that many jobs?”Again, quoting from that letter: “That works out to a need for about 125,000 new jobs each month to handle new workers coming into the market (which comes to a total of 7.5 million over five years), plus the 8 million and rising jobs we’ve lost. That is a daunting number. It amounts to 250,000 new jobs a month every month for five years.”As it turns out, Princeton Professor Paul Krugman agrees. He writes in today’s New York Times (http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/):”I don’t think many people grasp just how much job creation we need to climb out of the hole we’re in. You can’t just look at the eight million jobs that America has lost since the recession began, because the nation needs to keep adding jobs – more than 100,000 a month – to keep up with a growing population. And that means that we need really big job gains, month after month, if we want to see America return to anything that feels like full employment. How big? My back of the envelope calculation says that we need to add around 18 million jobs over the next five years, or 300,000 a month. This puts last week’s employment report, which showed job losses of “only” 11,000 in November, in perspective. It was basically a terrible report, which was reported as good news only because we’ve been down so long that it looks like up to the financial press.”That just goes to show you that I am an optimist. His back-of-the-napkin number is 20% larger. He is probably right, as he has a Nobel Prize and I don’t, and I didn’t actually use a napkin. I did the math in my head on camera while we were getting ready to go fishing.Krugman uses this to suggest the Fed should double their balance sheet by another $2 trillion (seriously). That would not be very helpful to the dollar, I would think.(Aside: we are in a balance-sheet recession. We overleveraged our banks and consumers. Now they are having to retrench. We are watching consumer and business loans fall. Putting $2 trillion more into the system is not going to make consumers want to borrow more. I can’t quite see where you deal with the problem of too much leverage by trying to create more leverage somewhere else. But that’s a topic for another day.)And just to demonstrate that I am not being too pessimistic, you can go to a study the Bureau of Labor Statistics put out yesterday. They estimate that the economy will create 15.3 million more jobs in the next ten years, which is an average of about 1.5 million a year, or 125,000 a month. That is not a robust number, and suggests that the continued high unemployment projected in the graph above may not be far off target, as the employment assumptions are not that dissimilar. If you have no social life, you can read it yourself at http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecopro.nr0.htm.Lies, Damn Lies, and Government StatisticsWe are going to look at the unemployment numbers of last week, along with the unemployment claims that came out yesterday. But first, I want to quote a section from Dennis Gartman’s letter this morning. It illustrates why we have to be very careful how we use government data. Too often, we think the data is straightforward math and simply draws on the underlying data sources. The reality is that it is anything but. To wit:”A PROBLEM AT THE VERY HEART OF DATA GATHERING: Recently in Washington a rather large number of economists from academia and from government met to try to hash out a problem with data gathering that has become more and more serious here in the US and has more and more distorted how we value the American economy itself. At heart is how imports into the US are accounted for.”For example, when a part for perhaps $100 is imported from China and is used in an American automobile … something that happens more and more and more often these days … the stats show that the finished car is American-made because it was assembled here in the US and in the process the US GDP is raised by that same $100 when in fact it should have been deflated by that figure instead. In the process, American workers who might in the past have made the part in question are no longer doing so and are obviously made redundant, hence a job or jobs is lost.”The unemployment data then ‘finds’ that unemployed worker and accounts for him or her, but the car that is assembled does not, and when it is produced and sold and its value makes its way through the system, it appears that productivity has risen … and rather dramatically so, when in fact it has not. As one of the economists attending that meeting said,” ‘We don’t have the data collection structure to capture what is happening in a real-time way, or what is being traded and how it is affecting workers. We have no idea how to measure the occupations being ‘offshored’ or what is being ‘inshore.’”Or as the Assistant Commissioner for International Prices at the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (and how “politburo-like” is a title like that?!!) Mr. William Alterman, said regarding this problem” ‘What we are measuring as productivity gains may in fact be nothing more than changes in trade instead.’”This is not an insignificant problem, for as the US has become more and more international in its trading scope the data has become more and more important. Back in the 1975, imports into the US were only 5% of our total economic activity, but in recent years that has swelled to 12%, excluding imports of energy. Thus, many imports into the US are being, and have been, and will continue to be, valued as though they were manufactured here in the US, when indeed they were manufactured abroad and merely assembled here in the US.”In autos, in computers, in appliances, this is a large and growing problem, but this is a problem too in the areas of services. For example, when an accounting firm out-sources some of its number-crunching to an accounting firm in India, for example, and then bills a client here in the US in US dollar terms, the work is done abroad but billed here and the work is recorded as having been done in the US, adding to US GDP when clearly that is not the case. It happens too, these days, more and more often in medicine, when patient files are sent to India or somewhere else abroad for diagnosis and the patient is billed here in the US as if the ‘work’ had been done here. GDP rises here in the US when it really should have been accounted for in India; productivity goes up; GDP goes up, when in reality neither has happened. ‘ Tis a conundrum.”The Problem of Seasonal AdjustmentsYesterday we were told that initial unemployment claims were up slightly to 474,000 on a seasonally adjusted basis. That is down 78,000 from the same week last year. The four-week moving average is almost exactly the same. On a four-week-average basis, initial claims are down about 10% from last year.Let’s look under the hood. The non-seasonally adjusted number (NSA) is 665,000, down almost 95,000 from last year, which is good, but still a very large number. The actual average had been over 550,000 for the last three weeks.Everywhere the headlines said continuing claims are plunging. And they did. But what really happened is that the drop was not from people getting jobs but from people rolling over to the extended benefits programs. The states by and large pay for the first 26 weeks, and that is where we get the continuing-claim reported number from. (In some parts of the US hosever, you can get unemployment insurance for up to 99 months, paid for by the federal government.There are 5.16 million on the continuing-claim rolls. But when you add in the extended benefits rolls, it increases to over 10 million. Average length of unemployment is now over 26 weeks, and the median length is over 33 weeks!It was reported that the unemployment rate dropped to 10% from 10.2%. To get that number, they had to shrink the number of people looking for work by 98,000. Basically, if you have not looked for work in the last four weeks, you are said to be “discouraged” and are taken out of the unemployment statistics. If you add back in the discouraged workers, the rate goes up to 10.5%. And it is worse than that. If you have not looked for a job in 12 months, you are taken off the rolls altogether.Here is one of the reasons that the unemployment number is going to remain stubbornly high through 2010. Let’s assume a modest recovery of 3%, which is maybe enough to get jobs back into the 150,000 range. As people go back to work, that 0.5% of discouraged workers starts to look for jobs and they are now counted as unemployed. That small number of 0.5% is 750,000 people that will be (should be) added back into the unemployment numbers!Let’s use Krugman’s 100,000 jobs a month needed to keep up with population growth. (Studies are all over the place on this. 100,000 is the low estimate and 150,000 is the high.) That means we need 1.2 million new jobs next year just to keep the unemployment rate at 10%. And another 750,000 jobs to go to the discouraged workers who will want to start looking. Close to 2 million jobs will be needed to keep the unemployment rate from rising.And the current business climate says that is not going to happen.The Job Creation EngineSmall businesses employ 85% (or thereabouts) of American workers. That is always where the employment growth comes from. So when we see the ISM surveys, which are mainly of large businesses, that suggest they may start employing more people in the next few months, we need to see how their smaller brethren are doing. Fortunately, we have a very reliable survey by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, which does a lengthy monthly survey to give us the temperature in the small-business world. You can review it at http://www.nfib.com/Portals/0/PDF/sbet/SBET200912.pdf. (My friend and Maine fishing buddy Bill Dunkelberg puts out the report.)It is a mixed bag, as some of the scores of questions in the survey indicate that small businesses are feeling better than a year ago. On the whole, though, they are not very upbeat. 72% of small businesses say their earnings are down over the last three months, and that has been the case for over a year. The most important reason for lower earnings is listed as poor sales volume. Sales expectations, however, are much better than earlier this year, with almost half of those surveyed thinking things will get better.While the number of businesses that are not planning to hire any more employees in the next three months is still slightly negative, it is improving. 54% have job openings. There is not much in the way of wage pressure, as wage levels are dropping; and actual prices of the goods and services they are selling and the materials and services they are buying are falling (on average). Inventory levels have dropped precipitously, and that bodes well for hiring, as inventories at some point are going to have to be built back upHowever, as Bill points out, “In November small business owners reported a decline in average employment per firm of 0.58 workers reported during the prior threemonths, a big improvement from May’s record loss of 1.26 workers per firm – but still a loss of jobs. Nine percent of the owners increased employment by an average of 2.3 workers per firm, but 21 percent reduced employment an average of 4.2 workers per firm (seasonally adjusted). The “job generating machine” is still in reverse. Sales are not picking up, so survival requires continuous attention to costs – and labor costs loom large. But, job reductions are fading and job creation could cross the “0″ line by the end of the year.”Owner optimism remains stuck at recession levels. The proximate cause is very weak consumer spending, better than a year ago, but that was pretty bad. Fifteen (15) percent reported gains, while 43 percent reported weakness. With weak consumer spending, there is little need to invest in inventory (and borrow money to support inventory investment). Inventory investment plans are at historically very low levels. Similarly capital spending is on hold, with actual outlays and planned outlays at record low levels along with the demand for loans to finance the outlays. More firms still plan on reducing employment than plan on adding to their payrolls. Inventory reductions are still widespread, eight percent reported accumulation, 33 percent reported reductions. This sets the stage for new orders in future periods, but does not help much now.”The survey kept highlighting the concerns and uncertainty about government plans for new taxes and regulations. It is hard to make plans to expand when you are not certain what your costs will be for health care, taxes, cap and trade, etc.This is a survey we need to watch, because when it turns up we can start to feel confident about the recovery (which is still stimulus-driven). We will look back at it in a few months.A Double-Dip Recession?Finally, this highlights my concern about a double-dip recession. I think we could see one in 2011, as a result of the massive increases in taxes as the Bush tax cuts expire and the Pelosi-Reid-Obama crowd want to raise taxes on the “rich.” Their assumption is that if we could grow quite well in the Clinton years with higher taxes, then we can do it again.First, if there are no changes to the proposed tax increases, this will be a massive middle-class tax hike. Make no mistake, the Bush tax cuts resulted in a huge cut in the taxes of the middle class. The data clearly shows the wealthiest 20% are paying significantly more of the total taxes paid.If you combine a large middle-class tax increase with an even larger new wealth tax (75% of which will affect the very small businesses we just highlighted), it will be a one-two punch to the economic body, when unemployment is already at 10%. You can’t take out well over 2% (and maybe 3%) of GDP from the consumer without it having significant consequences.Obama mentioned minor tax credits for small businesses in his plan, but then proposes to raise their taxes and health-care costs. It doesn’t work that way. But it is time to hit the send button, so I will close.Dad Gets a Lively LessonA few friends noted that there was no Outside the Box this week. I plead a distraction. I got back from New York Sunday night and left my phone in my home office. I wandered in the next morning and got a call from Melissa (#2 daughter). “Dad, are you going to the hospital now?” Hospital, what hospital?”Didn’t you get Ryan’s text? Tiffani has gone into labor.” Almost three weeks early. That was not on my radar screen. I shot a text off to Ryan and then we talked. Seems things were progressing slowly. I would have the morning before I needed to go to the hospital.I settled down and then got a text that Tiffani was starting to push. Oops, that happened faster than we thought. I got to the hospital and went to the waiting room, where some of Tiffani and Ryan’s friends were also waiting.Did I know what was going on? No, but they did. Seems Tiffani’s best friend is now in Belgium, where she was watching the whole process over the MacBook set up in the delivery room! She was posting (G-rated, I was assured) pictures to Tiffani’s Facebook page, where all their friends were keeping up. And of course, blow-by-blow accounts and pictures on Twitter. As we sat there, one of the young men told me my granddaughter, named Lively Bella-Grace Frederick had been born. Did I want to see a picture? And of course the in-laws, who are missionaries in Cyprus, saw the whole thing relayed by the girlfriend in Belgium.Mom, Dad, and Lively were here this afternoon, and doing well. But I am seriously going to have to update my communication skills if I am going to keep up with my kids and grandkids. I feel so, well, out of it. Oh well. I am sure Lively will give Papa John a lesson or three over the years.And finally, I am very excited about my special live webinar next week with Jon Sundt, President and CEO of Altegris Investments.

Obama’s Big Sellout-Matt Taibbi”Whatever the president’s real motives are, the extensive series of loophole-rich financial “reforms” that the Democrats are currently pushing may ultimately do more harm than good. In fact, some parts of the new reforms border on insanity, threatening to vastly amplify Wall Street’s political power by institutionalizing the taxpayer’s role as a welfare provider for the financial-services industry. At one point in the debate, Obama’s top economic advisers demanded the power to award future bailouts without even going to Congress for approval — and without providing taxpayers a single dime in equity on the deals.Barack Obama was still just the president-elect when it happened, but the revolting and inexcusable $306 billion bailout that Citigroup received was the first major act of his presidency. In order to grasp the full horror of what took place, however, one needs to go back a few weeks before the actual bailout — to November 5th, 2008, the day after Obama’s election.That was the day the jubilant Obama campaign announced its transition team. Though many of the names were familiar — former Bill Clinton chief of staff John Podesta, long-time Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett — the list was most notable for who was not on it, especially on the economic side. Austan Goolsbee, a University of Chicago economist who had served as one of Obama’s chief advisers during the campaign, didn’t make the cut. Neither did Karen Kornbluh, who had served as Obama’s policy director and was instrumental in crafting the Democratic Party’s platform. Both had emphasized populist themes during the campaign: Kornbluh was known for pushing Democrats to focus on the plight of the poor and middle class, while Goolsbee was an aggressive critic of Wall Street, declaring that AIG executives should receive “a Nobel Prize — for evil.”But come November 5th, both were banished from Obama’s inner circle — and replaced with a group of Wall Street bankers.”How did we get here? It started just moments after the election — and almost nobody noticed.”http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/31234647/obamas_big_sellout

Back when I used to comment very regularly on Roubini’s blog, I used to get asked for investment advice. The only stock I ever recommended was Hormel, on the basis that Spam would ensure it would outperform in the recession/depression to come. I’ve never been a fan of gold, knowing that it deflates as surely as everything else in a deleveraging spiral.I’m pleased to see that not only has Hormel outperformed for several years now, but Roubini has endorsed Spam over gold as well.@ Professor Roubini: I like the new site, but I hope it doesn’t go subscription only here in the comments as suggested above.

What Goes Around Comes AroundYes, the central bank “presidents” (and especially our own Bubblemaster–Ben Bernanke) hate gold. The US Fed used to punish gold buyers by flooding the market with Fort Knox gold to force down the price; it is indicative of the waning global influence of the US that they can no longer do that. The irony of this is that Ben’s accomplices (the “presidents’ of other foreign central banks) are now buying gold with inpunity!

http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/12/10/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry5961370.shtml.the committee offered the nobel peace prizeto “barack hussein obama” ,” president ” of the unitedstates of america. the award was accepted bythe “commander in chief” of the armed forces ofthe united states of america. it seems we have at least three different entities here making claimof acceptance of this “prize”.i think the acceptance speech reflects thisconfusion. now, will the real president ofthe united states please return to oslo andpick up his prize. the three imposters reflectedin the speech will not do..at the heart of the confusion is the lack ofcomprehension of the term “peace”. a lack of appreciation of the dynamics of its power as itrelates to social structure and function. “leadership”, and that “moral authority” term.the system kills the man who attempts to functionboth as “commander in chief” and “executive” as theseare really two diametrically opposed functions,especially in something like a “global power”. thisshould be obvious, and perhaps is, and this maybe why this american “global power” is repeatedly driven to mutate its top executive into a commanderin chief by special interests / too big to failglobal institutions. ie fincance, energy, armamentand their cadre of support, academia , media, etc..read the speech and you hear their voices. barackhussein obama never even showed up in oslo. the speech tells the story of a man who dares not leadeaither as an executive or a commander and certainly not a spiritual leader. he mixes it all up and hintsat truth but refuses to explore it. he has acceptedhis title/s and prize and fallen victim to his own warnings. read it..peace is the source of the self not an externaldestination. you can’t impose it at gunpoint orthreat of death. you cannot execute your way to it.he is young, but he should know being he has receivedand accepted such an honor. a commander may beforgiven and an executive may be forgiven for notknowing, but not an individual man..not to mention no one brought up natural resourcesduring the sometimes pretty speech. no one brought up the fact that we are chained to ancostly infrastructure that has apparently unaffordable, wearing out, and soon obsolete;and this causing conflict..”clear eyed”. i don’t think so.

LB,You are last one I would choose to debate, but I must disagree on your gold position.I refer to latest edition of Roy W. Jastram’s The Golden Constant: The English and American Experience 1560-2007with update material by Jill LeyLand.In a nutshell, the value of gold is constant regardless of momentary government intervention, regardless of inflation,and most surprisingly, regardless of deflation. Jastram identifies six periods of gold flux:1. 1560-1700 Gold and commodity prices rise, diminishing gold’s purchasing power.2. 1701-1792 Gold stable but commodity prices fluctuating above and below gold.3. 1793-1821 Napoleonic Wars4. 1822-1914 Gold stable but commodity prices fluctuating above and below gold.5. 1915-1930 Commodity prices wildly fluctuating; gold also fluctuates, but in a much narrower range.6. 1931-1976 Soaring gold prices; Commodity price revolution. [Fiat money effect.]Most surprising, Jastram observed that “operational wealth” of gold appreciated in major deflations.He noted that gold was ineffective (sometimes backwards) as a year-to-year hedge against commodity price increases.And he saw that gold maintains it purchasing power over the long periods because inflated and deflated commodityprices return to gold’s price.As demostration it was noted that in the last 2,000 years there have been five great coins that have held theirvalue:The Roman solidus which became the Byzantine nomisma,the Islamic dinar,the Venetian ducat,and finally, the British sovereign.If it were not for Gresham’s law of bad money pushing out good under legal tender laws, these coins could be used in trade today.So Hormel was $18.20 in 2000 and now it’s approaching $40, not bad 100% gain.But gold was $300/oz in 2000 and now it’s approahing $1,200, even better 400% gain.Gold is not an investment, it’s a protector and I am sticking with physical gold and I bet you are as well.PS: I do plan on paying, so this may be my last post…

I have been seeking for some time the Cause of the collapse of the USA, the greatest and, until now, most successful Constitutional Republic devised by mere men; as the readers here are aware I have read the preamble and other documents surrounding the formation of the Constitution and have noted the almost immediate attempts to ‘control’ the government of the USA from the outset.So in very simple terms I submit the following conclusion that I have reached at this time which some may find interesting and worthy of some consideration:”I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country.A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation,therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men.We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completelycontrolled and dominated governments in the civilized world.No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government byconviction and the vote of the majority, but a government bythe opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”From Woodrow Wilson after signing the Federal Reserve Act in 1913Please note that there is no source quoted for the first two sentences.http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quotes_by/woodrow+wilsonObservation: Nothing can be controlled whereby it has been observed that the power of the wheel lies clearly in the axle, where there is nothing! The wisdom of governance is responsibility and subtlety. The sense of governance must, a priori, be qualitative and not as now, quantitative and opined. Interpretation is best left resting heavily in the words employed in the original sense lest trickery and imagination is allowed to run amok by vested interests.The original US Constituted and Declaration of Independence provided the socio-economic structure for freedom and growth which exploded across a land rich beyond imagination and became the Universal beacon of freedom and opportunity.Then came lobby, fear, greed and lust for power, or IOW the vested interests, not interested in innovation and profitability from one’s own capacity, but the imposition of faith-based fears and rewards for profit without work; honest work. A Prime Maxim of Physics is that nothing can be created ex nihilo while the US Constitution provides for the freedom of men to pursue liberty, justice and the pursuit of happiness. It does not provide for utilizing the Constitution or the Constitutional Republic known as the United States of America, themselves for personal gain.IOW, the structure represented by these aforesaid documents remains, a priori, the structure and infrastructure for all, in equal proportion, precisely, and must be delivered up in the same terms as a pound of flesh, but nary a drop of blood.Governance then, in my opinion, of the USA has become the dinner of the few and includes blood bone and flesh where opinion rules as swayed and paid by vested interests, which contrive to bias the faith-based corrupt ideologies of ignorant pseudo academics lead around by the nose by slicks and enterprising confident tricksters, while the original Constitution (termed ‘just a god-damned piece of paper’ by former President George W Bush, and he didn’t think that up by himself) lies shredded and forgotten in the dumpster behind the White House.Or, if you prefer, the USA has reached frenzied height of irrationality which in biological terms must be called for what it is, that is to say, extremis or that time and state when cancer has taken permanent control of the entity and the final throes of objection are expressed, albeit far too late, in involuntary panic.In conclusion, it appears to me that you Americans have grown ignorant of your origins, awhile becoming totally ignorant of history and the fundamentals of life and social organization, even in basic terms and now believe that you or that person whom you believe represents your interests, alone, but doesn’t, a priori, can provide governance upon which you can suck upon as the maternal teat, ad infinitum, and at pleasure whereby you cannot and your Constitution didn’t provide for your personal pleasures, it provided for your freedom and pursuit of happiness (as well as the right to bear arms to protect you from your own government – IOW your Constitution foresaw the inevitability of breeding your own demise).Keyword: pursuit | respect | extremis | cancerAs I have said before, the structure of the USA has been irreparable violated and assaulted from within while the answers to this dilemma will not come from faith-based ideologues and carpet bagging opportunists, fools and clowns, but by men as least as formidable and worthy as the original Fathers of the USA, in current terms.My message: Men cannot govern as they are pioneers first and foremost. We must devise a structure (similar to the original charter of the USA – that is, minimal change, if any) and abide by it through minimal and responsible governance – er, as opposed to popularised democracy); it is the next logical step in our evolution and we can ease into it intellectually or be forced into it through the hands of our own destructive force.Ho hum

No centralization of power. That is essential.I’m not a solutions guy (because nothing is ever “solved,” and when anyone proposes “solutions” they are usually oppressive), but the closest to an evolutionary governing structure that I’ve run across would be Murray Bookchin’s Libertarian Municipalism: not to confuse libertarian with the term stolen by modern day mutations from the Republican party.

Speaking for the record:I find it interesting that PeterJB’s Australia is being highly ravaged by climate change:(snip) @ Guest on 2009-12-12 14:36:09?That’s news to me, that it the highly ravaged bit unless you mean that iceberg on its way to sink us – obviously a conspiracy?But the truth is that our forefathers, both jailers and convicts (Yes, we were mainly colonized, sic, by criminals and their keepers), knew that there was little water in this country and as time went on, knew that the environment suffered with periodic droughts; nothing new here at all, except…every now and again some pain-in-the-arse, lok dim pun, wannabe “leader” cum political dumbo decides that he needs to scare the hell out of all the “unwashed” so that he/she can get elected /re-elected again in order to frenzie feed at the public trough while filling his/her pockets with book deals brown paper bag contents or a ranch or two cum villa in some far away shore…by announcing that we are doomed due to lack of water/rain or something stupid like that.The fact is that Australia does suffer from lack of water but the problem is the secession of morons and idiots (read: “leadership”) that never do anything about it and there are many solution ’cause they only desire to invest the public purse in themselves and their moronic Party’s’ Platform which in reality is nothing more that an outhouse that grandfather built 200 yards down the paddock.Popularistic democracy here in Australia is actually democratic socialism heading rapidly to advanced communism where the State assumes ownership of your soul, where the feral mount the hustings to compete in spending the public purse on the public’s comfort today and where the public believe every word ignoring the fact that they will pay through existing and soon to be imposed new taxation, higher and to be grown inflation, nationalization of superannuation funds and perhaps even owned real estate upon retirement – or where nothing is invested in the future for the coming generations!where I am, on the edge of a desert, we have had a great season but in other places we have had fires and flood. So what’s new? Even all the flora is attuned to fire and the country is so flat, floods have naturally occurred for thousands if not millions of years. The only thing new is in the seeing.Notwithstanding, I accept Climate Change and the need to do something, but not what the morons er, for-sale and hire scientists /politicians offer to their paymasters but I don’t hold my breathe. I also accept, as stated here previously, I don’t accept that pollution is necessary nor acceptable, particularly in the air we breathe nor the water we need to drink.I also don’t accept climate science particularly as it is spun to the gullible public for profit and reward and not to mention those research funds and I don’t accept giving a bunch of bankrupt banks trillions of dollars to be used to bribe corrupt politicians (aren’t they all corrupt?) so that the big polluters of air and water, with the help of the eager little pseudo academics for sale and hire (read: pimps and whores – the real ones), can continue getting richer, doing the same pollution tricks, giving nothing to society and having our erected “leaders” go to their apologetic assistance back on the hustings? Er, Ad nauseum.Get the point?Mainstream Climate Change science is as crappy and false as Al Gore and Obama, Paul Krugman, and Koffi Annan -did I miss anyone?In fact Climate Change Science is nothing but “pollution” sanctioned by “leadership”.If you really wanted to do something about pollution then how about stop dropping bombs, or stop producing land mines and stop war and all societal imposition andmind your own business and keep your hands out of every body’s pockets!Ho hum

Ilargi: Jim Rogers is right.There is no recovery in the American economy.Things have only gotten worse, and a lot too. Still, Rogers can’t help seeing the world through his own subjective eyes either, distorted by his age and his professional views. He makes money as an investor, and can’t imagine a world in which investors like him are not part of the landscape.And that’s the big blind spot for most analysts, publications and websites that occupy themselves with finance and the economy. They’re written by people who make a living because the economy is organized a certain way, and they see a situation in which that will mostly continue to be so, with some more or less minor tweaking. Rogers understands a lot of what’s coming, but he stops short of pondering himself as a victim. This may be completely natural and logical, but it does potentially cloud his vision. For him, the question is where to invest, not whether to invest at all.But, again, he’s right. There’s no recovery. A Bloomberg piece this morning illustrates why. It says that China’s Q3 output was up 19.2%, with exports down 1.3%, and imports up 26.7%.China’s growth accelerated to 8.9 percent in the third quarter on the record lending and a $586 billion, two-year stimulus package, helping Asia to lead the recovery from the global economic slump.The Chinese government injects a comparatively gigantic amount of money into the economy, which the banks use to hand out record loans. And that, all by itself, says Bloomberg, makes Asia (re: China) lead the recovery from the slump. This is the gospel according to Washington, the gospel of Barack Obama and George W. Bush. The first is on record claiming that the US can “spend its way out of the recession”, the second became famous for encouraging people to go shopping in the face of economic hardship. In other words, as Jim Rogers phrases it:”The idea you can solve a problem of too much debt and too much consumption with more consumption and more debt defies belief. I cannot believe that grown-ups would stand there and say that.”Well, Jim, grown-ups in governments ranging throughout history and across the globe have stood there, and today stand there, saying exactly that. By the way, if I were you, I would, but that’s just me, in the light of the Chinese embrace of the Washington “spend and borrow your way out of debt” gospel, perhaps take another look at your own embrace of the Chinese economic model.It would feel more consistent, since China of course has no genuine recovery either. Its exports are still falling, but its output rose 19.2%. In other words, the Chinese will have to buy their own products. Problem is, they don’t feel like doing it. According to Michael Pettis, Chinese household consumption is 35% of its economy, vs 55-65% in Europe and 70-72% in the US. And its consumption isn’t rising fast, if at all, either. What is rising are savings, presently at 26%, vs a negative savings rate in the US until recently. Pettis asks an intriguing question about China:”Crises seem to drive the household consumption rate down, even though bull markets don’t seem to drive it back up. Is that because crises cause households to worry about risk (although if that were true they wouldn’t go permanently down, would they)? Or is it because the government responds to crises by increasing the amount of misallocated investment, the consequence of which is to reduce future consumption?”So what would it take to drive Chinese consumption upwards towards levels that might sustain at least part of its economy if and when American and European export markets don’t rise from their ashes? Pettis says:Just to return consumption to 40% of GDP over the next five years (and even that level is widely considered to be way too low, and probably unprecedented in the world excluding recent Chinese history), 8% average annual growth rates in GDP would require a tad under 11% annual growth in consumption. [..]To bring Chinese consumption in 20 years up to 50% of GDP, which is the low end for other high saving Asian countries, and far lower than any other large economy in Asia (and remember that large economies are less able to rely on exports to fuel growth than small countries), 7% annual GDP growth would require average annual consumption growth of just under 9% for twenty years.In other words while GDP growth slows significantly from its 12-13% rate of the past several years, consumption will nonetheless have to surge at rates far in excess of the 8-9% growth rates of recent years in order for even a small, partial rebalancing to take place.One thing should become clear now: China won’t be able to run its economy on domestic demand for many years to come. Until then, it will rely on western consumers, who are broke, and on government subsidies, i.e. consumption of its own flesh. Whatever the choice may be, a 19.2% increase in Q3 2009 output looks a lot like despair. Who will buy all that extra output? There are no extra clients anywhere on the horizon.Just as is the case in the US, people like the Bloomberg reporter quoted above confuse government funding with credit. Of course, if you ask no questions, both may look pretty much the same. But that doesn’t mean they are. You can’t be both the seller and the buyer of your own products and still claim you’re making a profit.The Chinese are trying to kick-start economy with their own reserves. But once the engine runs, if it does, it’ll need somewhere to go, someone to purchase its products. That someone will have to have a trade surplus, i.e. money to spare. The Americans don’t have any. They are trying to kick-start their economy with borrowed money, which means they are increasing their already sky-high debt levels. Which is why Jim Rogers is dead-on when he says that there is no recovery, and things have only gotten worse in the past year.You wouldn’t know it from looking at the stock markets yet, but if you imagine the economy as a closed system, which in the thermodynamics definition can exchange heat and work (energy), but not matter, with its surroundings, it becomes clear that whatever happens inside the system doesn’t solve any problems, but merely transfers wealth (heat) from one part of the system to the other. That is, while banks and investors have been making money over the past 6-month rally, someone else has been losing out.To figure out who, you need look no further than the record numbers of American citizens who are unemployed, homeless and/or living on foodstamps. The system as a whole shows no recovery, just parts of it do due to increased misery in other parts. Moreover, what does enter the system from outside is borrowed money that needs to be repaid. This should also make clear why printing money cannot solve any of the existing problems. For one thing, America’s largest creditor is China, which has its currency pegged to the dollar. No gains there.In more general terms, much, if not most, of what is seen as wealth consists of nothing but leveraged bets. Which is how a home that cost $100,000 to build comes to sell for $500,000. This wealth will have to be deleveraged, until things are worth what they are, i.e. they have a price someone is willing and able to pay for them. In the absence of cheap and abundant credit, that is.All countries are chasing the same remaining pieces of the pie, which can only be obtained by increasing one’s exports, or, more correctly and comprehensively, one’s trade balance. And since the world economy as a whole can also be considered a closed system, the only possible turn of events in this case too is wealth transfer. Which can be achieved, as noted, by an increase in exports, or possibly through warfare. It cannot be achieved by printing one’s own currency. That could function (temporarily, until hyperinflation sets in) only if the system were what thermodynamics defines as an isolated system, i.e. no exchange whatsoever with the outside world.Since the US depends on the money it borrows from outside its borders, it is as yet far from being an isolated system. It can try to devalue its currency, but so can any other country. The US has an added disadvantage in the fact that the US dollar is the world reserve currency, which means people will flee to it in times of global stress and uncertainty. Which in turn will push up the dollar’s exchange rate.Once the US is cut off from the rest of the global economy, either forcibly or voluntarily, it may or may not go the way of Weimar and Zimbabwe, both more or less isolated systems in an economical sense. That moment, though, is years away.Until then, to quote Jim Rogers once more, things will only get worse if the present “spend your way out of misery” gospel continues to rule our ways. Just look at how much more debt, most of which is owed to foreigners, the US has compared to a year ago. It runs in the trillions. In just one year.Rogers is right again when he notes that Obama was merely a community organizer just 6 years ago, doesn’t understand economics, and relies entirely on the people he nominated in his economic team. But that is not a valid excuse.A headline in French weekly Le Point yesterday said : “Warlord Obama receives his Nobel Peace Prize”. Being the President of the United States means you can’t wreck the nation’s economy and plead innocence or ignorance. Neither does it mean you can send 30,000 extra young Americans into battle and pick up a Peace Prize one week later. He could have refused the prize. And probably should have. Or, as someone suggested, sent an unmanned drone to pick it up for him.Jim Rogers is buying American dollars. You?

Roubini Blasts “The Barbarous Relic,” Recommends Spam Over GoldTyler Durden’s pictureSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/12/2009 11:27 -0500In a headline piece on roubini.com, Nouriel Roubini writes an extended article slamming both gold bugs, and the so-called gold bubble, which he believes is far too volatile, and which, contrary to ever increasing claims to the opposite, will likely not get to the mythical price of $2000/ounce, and instead will head lower. The argument presented, as is widely the case, boils down to the trifecta of i)gold having no industrial utility, ii) no intrinsic value (no associated cash flow streams) and iii) costing an arm and a leg to store. While Roubini’s thesis is attractive on the surface (if somewhat Keynesian and thus often reiterated by mainstream Economists), we present some counter arguments to Roubini’s thesis.Roubini summarizes the current situation:In the last nine months, concerns about a global depression have dissipated and the global economy is recovering from its worst recession in decade; deflation is still gripping the global economy as the slack in goods and labor markets persists at high levels. So why have gold prices started to rise sharply again in the last few months, in spite of no near-term risk of inflation or of depression? And could gold prices rapidly rise towards $2000?On the one hand, the Doctor does see the pro-gold argument, which he highlights in five main points:There are several reasons why gold prices are gradually rising, but they do not suggest a rapid rise toward $2000; at most they suggest a gradual rise with significant risks of downward correction.* First, while we are still experiencing global deflation, there are rising concerns that inflation may reemerge forcefully in the medium term because of large monetized fiscal deficits.* Second, a massive wall of liquidity—borne of easy monetary policy—is chasing assets. Some of those assets include commodities like oil and base metals—the rise of which could eventually become inflationary.* Third, dollar funded carry trades and a more generalized portfolio allocation to non-dollar assets (especially EM assets) are pushing the U.S. dollar sharply down. There is an inverse relation between the value of the dollar and the dollar price of commodities: the lower the dollar the higher the dollar price of oil and other commodities, including gold. The rise of gold in euros has been much more muted.* Fourth, the global supply of gold—both existing and newly produced—is limited, and demand is rising faster than supply over the medium term. The recovery of the global economy has started a revival of retail gold demand especially in India. Central banks looking to diversify their portfolios account for further demand—see for instance, the recent increase in gold holdings by emerging market central banks. Most of the increase in demand comes from private investors using gold as a hedge against low probability tail risks of high inflation and another near depression caused by a double dip recession. Inflation risk and the risk of a double-dip are both low, suggesting lower gold prices, but increasingly investors want to hedge against such risks early on. And given the inelastic supply of gold, it only takes a small shift in the portfolios of central banks and private investors to boost increase the price of gold significantly.* Finally, as sovereign risk is rising—see Dubai, Greece and other emerging markets and advanced economies—the concern about sovereigns not being able to back stop too-big-to-save financial system could rise again.On the other, Roubini, sticking to the Socratic method, lays out the counter argument for a quick drop in gold prices:* First, the dollar carry trade may at some point unravel, popping the global asset bubble that this carry trade has fueled.* Second, central banks will eventually need to exit quantitative easing and effectively zero policy rates, which will put downward pressure on risky assets including commodities.* Third, bouts of global risk aversion may occur as the global recovery may turn fragile, anemic and subpar, thus leading to a rise in the U.S. dollar that would drive down prices of commodities and gold in dollar terms.* Fourth, since the carry trade and the wall of liquidity are causing a global asset bubble, some of the recent rise of gold is also bubble driven by herding behavior and momentum trading, pushing gold higher and higher. But all bubbles eventually crash and the bigger the bubble the bigger the eventual crash.* Fifth, the effect of rising sovereign risk on gold prices is ambiguous, as the events of recent weeks suggest. A risk in such risk could push up the price of gold if it leads to expectations that central banks will eventually monetize those fiscal problems. But in practice it has weighed on the price of gold because it has increased investors’ risk aversion and led to a rush into a different (and more liquid) asset than gold—e.g. the U.S. dollar—thus pushing gold prices down. In general, gold always competes with fiat currencies and anything that is dollar bullish—like repeated bouts of global risk aversion—tends to be gold bearish.At the heart of Roubini’s argument is a principle that is self-evident when one looks at the price dynamics of various asset classes today: that inflation is still in check. Of course the threshold between reserve accumulation by FR banks (which is now at ~$1.2 trillion) and all that excess money spilling over is all the stands between an environment of muted “disinflation” and runaway, spiraling and uncontrollable hyperinflation. And should the Fed lose control over a runaway monetary train, Gold at $2000 will be a distant memory. But more on that in a second. First, Roubini on why gold bugs’ expectations will soon be dashed:Thus, the gold bugs are wrong—or at least very, very premature—in justifying buying gold as an attack on fiat currency. The velocity of money is still low or falling—the opposite of a currency crisis or run on the dollar. As a further indication of the collapse of credit/money multipliers, indicators of expected inflation are subdued or falling, despite governments printing money (excess reserves). The high inflation scenario may be constrained even if/when easy money gains too much traction, as the yield curve would steepen sharply, raising the discount rate for risky private sector debt and for corporate equity, limiting the speed of the recovery and hence the ability of states to impose inflation surprises in the context of shortening average debt maturities.Finally, let’s assume the global economy double dips and concerns about near depression and sharp deflation reemerge. Should investors hold gold in that world? In a true world of near depression, gold bars are pretty much useless. Keynes referred to gold as a “barbarous relic.” Unlike other commodities, it has little intrinsic value. Much like a fiat currency, gold’s value is based largely on the irrational beliefs of investors. In a depression or near depression, one would be better off stockpiling canned food and other commodities like oil that are useful for riding out Armageddon. You cannot eat gold or burn gold.Roubini concludes:Investors should thus be wary of getting the gold bug and being stuck with this barbarous relic. The recent swings in gold price—up 10 percent one month, down 10 percent the next—prove the point that gold has little intrinsic value and that most of its price movements are based on beliefs and bubbles. As an insurance policy against the tail risk of eventual inflation, it may be useful to hold a small amount of gold in one’s portfolio, but stocking up portfolios with a fiat currency that has marginal practical use, a zero nominal interest rate, high storage costs, and the price of which is subject to volatile whims and bubbles is totally irrational. If you want to hedge against inflation, stock up on Spam or other canned food or buy futures on commodities that have more physical uses and consumer demand.We disagree with the professor across a few key points. As Dr. Roubini himself will acknowledge, the primary reason for the rapid “improvement” in asset valuations, and the postponement of the double dip/next leg of the depression, is solely due to global central banks having themselves onboarded private sector asset exposure as the very last option to prevent an all out collapse of the financial system: individual sovereigns’ taxpayers are now the owners of what used to be Merrill’s toxic CRE loan bonanza. Whereas a year ago the collapse of Goldman would have been possible without it also involving an at least technical default by the US, we are now beyond such capitalist flights of fancy, courtesy of the Bernanke Put (let alone the discussion of what the MTM mismatch of the central bank balance sheet is – courtesy of increasingly more lax accounting standards, the spread between fair value and book value, as we have reported, keeps increasing and could potentially be a 20%+ delta). These assets need to produce cash flow, which they do not, or at least not to a point where the Fed’s balance sheet is self-sustainable. Which explains the massive money printing, via QE, although as pointed out the actual cash does not hit circulating money, but merely ends up at the banks, earning 0.25% (why not: on $1.2 trillion it amounts to $3 billion a year in absolutely risk-free taxpayer subsidies). The main reason, as Zero Hedge will shortly show, why the dollar keeps getting pillaged versus its main counterpart, the euro, is that while the Eurozone balance sheet has stayed flat, courtesy of a mortgage bubble that never hit the ludicrous size of its US counterpart, the US Federal Reserve “assets” keep rising, and at a rate which is the inverse of incremental dollar devaluation.In essence the only reason why gold has appreciated less in terms of Euros is thanks to US generosity to assimilate European toxic asset losses, via an osmotic, and nearly 1-to-1 increase in equity markets between America and Europe. In this way, even as the euro continues not devaluing, the implicit Eurozone inflation is still nonetheless occurring, courtesy of increasing equity values, which happen purely on a sympathetic reflex to what the S&P is doing in New York. Another interesting observation are the comparable rates of expansion of the balance sheets of China and US – once again China is taking advantage of not only the dollar peg, but of it having even less a vocal political system to keep the printer in check (i.e., the absence of its own version of Ron Paul allows it print its way to “9% GDP prosperity” every year). At the end of the day, the Fed can only carry the burden of importing global inflation so long before the need to tighten is the opportunity cost of the Fed Chairman’s job (and the ruling party’s continued majority in the House and the Senate). And this is precisely the day that gold bugs live for.Mr. Roubini is wrong on one key argument: gold bug mania is not so much driven by the dream of fiat currency destruction (we all know the race to the bottom is on everywhere except in Europe which as discussed above has it own unique set of circumstances), but by the volatility in the actual reversal from expansion to contraction monetary phases. The Fed is in uncharted monetary policy territory, and way out of its comfort zone. If history is any indication, Greenspan, who was unable to control the runaway train of monetary glutting in the early 2000s, is a perfect case study of what will happen – why would Bernanke, who is Alan “Moral Hazard” Greenspan reincarnated, get it right? Especially, having demonstrated over the past month a complete lack of comprehension of asset bubble existence. And that particular bet explains why all the smartest money is currently accumulating it. Many pundits have said that the one who times the switch to inflationary policy by the Fed will be the richest man in 2010 (or 2012 if Goldman is right). Yet gold is a negative carry-free way to make just such a wager with the broadest possible time horizon: gold’s lack of positive carry offsets precisely the theta bleed which one would incur if one was merely rolling S&P puts constantly waiting for the Nassim Taleb moment of six sigma plus singularity. Also, once purchased, there is no need to roll the gold contracts, especially in physical form. At the end of the day, if the monetary skeptics are right, and they most likely are, the Fed will not only be unable to rein in inflation but we will go straight to hyperinflation and not pass go. At that moment the price of gold will hit escape velocity. And as in hyperinflation traditional supply/demand mechanics collapse, especially for such industrial metals as copper, aluminum, and, yes, even silver, gold’s lack of intrinsic value will be the main thing in its favor. Furthermore, with gold prices representing a nearly 80% discount on the global monetary base in simple value terms, in a scramble to a makeshift gold standard, the next resistance level will be not $2000, but $6000/oz.Yet in all honesty, we do agree with Roubini, that at that point in the future, when all non-gold commodities are flatlining, spam will likely be just as valuable as gold. Unfortunately, lead will be in a league of its own. If that is the price to pay for the terminal proof of flawed-from-the-start Keynesian economics, and the failure of the Federal Reserve as the bastion of Wall Street’s “second estate” interests, and the subsequent demise of both, it may just end up being worth it.GOODBY ROUBINI.YOU ARE NOW AT THE DARK SIDE OF POWER.

My opinion is that gold will do fine both in case of inflation and in case of deflation (even I think that what happened is disinflation). And if you ask me why here is the answer:a. In case of inflation or even hyper-inflation gold will be hedge until the fed put the situation in control;b. In case of deflation the fed will flood the economy with more dollars and the case a will occur, but with delay.And even if apocalyptic scenario happen the gold will be the currency until we all invent new one.The only scenario for gold to fall is if there is nor inflation or deflation, if I want to say it with manners of Dr. Roubini with probability of 30 percent.Andrej

Great article. But…Rogers is, as is clearly noted, a parasite on the real system. He doesn’t produce anything. Further, all his jawboning is to extract more wealth from others- it’s all self-serving. That said, I kind of like the guy: he’s correct in a lot of ways.“The idea you can solve a problem of too much debt and too much consumption with more consumption and more debt defies belief. I cannot believe that grown-ups would stand there and say that.”Unfortunately this isn’t stated as succinctly as it should be, and that’s that- there can be no sustained growth (yet, that’s exactly what our system is predicated on, it’s how Jim is able to procure wealth: because of this belief).Obama doesn’t have to be an economics wiz any more than a local mayor needs to be a computer wiz- they have their experts, their advisers. Geithner et al have been branded the best and the brightest; they ARE what the system desires. If people want someone in office that actually understands how everything works, then they’d have to be looking at more or less a permanent president (only one leader that I know of has the intelligence to speak to, and not get trapped by folks like Geithner, how things work is Castro [his politics aside, his understanding of things is far superior to most leaders- ask him about farming, about animal husbandry, the guy is a voracious reader]).

Gold works for no one. Its stands alone. And it has stood longer than any fiat currency.The ONLY thing that fiat currency embracers should concentrate on is when to switch currencies. But that little debt issue is still there, and growing, which will result in the printing of more fiat currency (the magic debt eraser); if I understand the equation properly, value is generally afforded to the scarcity of a thing: more fiat dollars isn’t going to make it more the fiat dollar more valuable… Meanwhile, Midas still doesn’t exist: gold is obtained though effort, it can’t be touched into existence, like fiat currency.If Roubini can’t acknowledge that growth isn’t sustainable then I’d hardly call him a “big picture guy.”
Guest • December 13th, 2009 at 11:17 am
And what did chasing fiat dollars get anyone?It’s a means to preserve/store/present wealth.Like I said above, a value of a thing is basically directly proportional to its scarcity.
Guest • December 13th, 2009 at 11:25 am
Only two pieces of wisdom need be propagated and adhered to:1) Growth cannot be sustained;2) No gods, no masters.Understanding growth means that you care about future generations, about the preservation of species- a respect for all, an appreciation that we are indebted to the planet and all things on it. It’s an acknowledgment of sustainability, stasis, the balance of life, the life of balance.”always in the name of a Lord,” yes, no gods no masters! The hierarchical system guarantees that there will be exploitation/oppression, and an excuse by many/most that they are not in control, not responsible for their own actions (it’s always someone else that is to blame- “the rich,” “the poor” etc.).

For Mr. Guest to note:”I have to wonder, though, why you think that there can be salvation through “better” leadership. It’s the very fact that hierarchical systems guarantee a distortion of power, and with this comes greed, and from that point on its all down hill.”@ Guest on 2009-12-13 10:16:27The only route to “salvation” (your choice of term) is never through “leadership”, as this is always, a priori, the route to hell and damnation (to borrow an overused phrase of those of wannabe “leadership”), butthrough independent sentience and the personal effort of becoming Man or serving the Cause to become Effect, or meeting your destiny, or utilizing your capacity where, of course, mileage varies.IOW, making one’s own decisions and accepting full responsibility thereof, or using one’s own neurological functionality which comes with every model, and not projecting blame through the default mechanism of denial or, IOW, accepting full responsibility for your own circumstance and actions.You see, that was that which the original Constitution of the USA gave you Americans (the right to freedom) but you have allowed it to be warped into a nanny state for “leadership” so much so, you have to keep and feed everyone and every group that wants to party in the big happy family called “leadership”. If you haven’t noticed, the wealth transfer from the unwashed to the “leadership” is alive and well (and most obvious) and a one way route.But to your advantage, the real economy is to be found at source in the expressed energies, only, of the unwashed, and never in “leadership” and the entrails that hang off them.There is only attitude: it is the individual that is the creation.Where the reason that it is happening to you is that you are sensitized to the process of Cause and Effect; you are becoming; acknowledge this fact and commence the run to your destiny for freedom is your responsibility and your goal.Ho hum

But right out of the gates there were significant numbers of people not recognized/afforded its noble declarations. Going back to this time one could easily see those who were “slaves,” which clearly doesn’t fall under the definition of “freedom” I’d reckon.The only freedom one has is within one’s head (I seem to feel that that’s what you ultimately posit). Any other freedom is an illusion: refer to the Aldous Huxley’s analogy of “freedom of the bathroom” (Dr. Albert Bartlett mentions it in his famous presentation).

Give A Dog A Bad Name And Hang HimI read in an Internet site article that the US legislative and executive branches and our Fed central bank were in cahoots running a “Ponzi scheme”. I didn’t know what a “Ponzi scheme” was, so I looked it up on the Merriam-Webster on-line dictionary web site:<Main Entry: Pon·zi schemePronunciation: ˈpän-zē-Function: nounEtymology: Charles Ponzi 1949 American (Ital.-born) swindlerDate: 1973: an investment swindle in which some early investors are paid off with money put up by later ones in order to encourage more and bigger risks.>I was simply shocked! I wasn’t too concerned about the “Italian born” part, but the terms “swindler” and “swindle” really bothered me. Is it possible that we have swindlers in our national government? I don’t think so!I urge Ben Bernanke and President Obama to immediately take actions to counter this malicious slander. Ben Beranke should stop “printing” money, and President Obama should present the congress with a balanced budget, and he should also raise taxes and pay off the national debt by the end of his second term.

That is what all you wise, concerned types are trying to pass off as a reason to impoverish our own and the following generations.Tell me this … will cutting back on greenhouse gas emissions stop the observed global warming on Mars? Do you think what might be causing that might also be a major driver of the measured warming on Mother Gaia (aside from that warming that can already be ascribed to dubious adjustments to ‘hide the decline’)?I’m not for polluting the world, but let’s not destroy our standard of living because we feel guilty about it. Oh, and by the way, most of the creeps ramming this nonsense down our throats will never cut back on their own lifestyles, to wit Al Gore and his planes and mansion, and the even better example of the very few climate change conference delegates who deigned to use the public transport made available for them in Copenhagen (though I bet many of them did take up the offer of free prostitutes).

And now I wish I had paid attention to the inflation of Spam prices. One source noted an increase during the month of October 2008 from $2.14 to $2.32 for a 12 ounce tin. That would be roughly 8.4% (not annualized), which is somewhat in line with other price rises I have seen since the period of low inflation began in Autumn 2008.

last night we mentioned NY Governor David Patterson, who just announced plans to withhold money from state schools in order to keep The Empire State solvent.Paul Krugman would refer to him as a little Herbert Hoover for cutting spending during a recessionary, thus creating a drag on an economy that can ill-afford it.Well, bad news, the little Hoovers are multiplying!As Goldman Sachs (GS) notes (via ShiftCTRL), all around the coutry, state budgets are being negatively impacted by surprisingly sluggish tax receipts, and that’s going to contribute to lower spending, and that’s going to be a drag on the economy.Says Goldman:State budget gaps going into FY 2010 wereeven larger than we thought. In April, theNational Conference of State Legislatures(NCSL) estimated that these gaps totaled $121bn.This was the latest figure available for our Julyanalysis, but it has since risen to $146bn.2 Inother words, state governments had to carve out$25bn more in tax hikes or spending cuts than wehad expected as they finished work on FY 2010budgets, a figure worth close to 0.2% of GDP.2. Income and sales tax revenues have started thefiscal year well below state budget officers’expectations. In July, we said that theseexpectations—up 1.3% for income taxes and 3%for sales taxes—seemed unrealistically high giventhe depth of the recession and the normaltendency for tax revenues to lag economic turningpoints. Data for the third quarter support thisskepticism. As shown in Exhibit 1, year-to-yearchanges in both categories were deeply negativeaccording to the Rockefeller Institute ofGovernment, which tracks state revenue. Figuresin the national income and product accounts,which add in local government revenues, weregovernments would exert a drag of 0.6-0.7 percentagepoints on annualized real GDP growth between mid-2009 and mid-2010, a period that corresponds to fiscalyear (FY) 2010 for most of these jurisdictions.1 Thisprojection was predicated on: (1) an observation thatfederal fiscal stimulus under the American Recoveryand Reinvestment Act (ARRA) would offset only partof the shortfalls state governments faced in attemptingto balance their budgets, and (2) a judgment that taxrevenues would continue to fall short of expectationsas the fiscal year unfolded, reflecting the depth of therecession. Together, these two factors implied thelikelihood of $80-$100bn in fiscal restraint to bringand keep these budgets in balance.This estimate is about on track judging from thealso down sharply. This was the basis for our fullfiscal year estimates, and for both categories it isclear that the year is off to a very weak start. Theevidence on corporate taxes—not shown—ismore mixed but also less important as these leviescomprise only about 4% of state tax revenue.3. As a result, most budget officers have loweredtheir sights on general revenues for FY 2010.According to the NCSL, 39 states plus PuertoRico now expect general revenues to fall in FY2010, and at least 9 expect setbacks of more than5%. Of the 10 states indicating that generalrevenue might beat their projections, several—including California—have cited tax law changes(rather than economic conditions) as the principalreason. Judging from the data presented inExhibit 1, the reduced expectations for the groupas a whole still embody an implicit assumptionthat year-to-year tax flows will improve over thenext three quarters. This is not unreasonable foran economy that is slowly coming back to life, butthe risks still lie to the downside. For example,the Rockefeller Institute reports that tax flows inthe fourth quarter remain depressed according toits contacts.4. Spending has also surprised to the high side.Although revenue shortfalls have been the mainfactor causing budget gaps to reemerge during thefiscal year, state governments have had to spendmore on Medicaid and other public supportprograms, the need for which rises as theeconomy weakens. Almost two-fifths of thestates reported this as a problem.5. Together, surprises on both sides of the ledgerhave opened up a new mid-year budget gap ofat least $28bn. We say “at least” because 15states have not yet revised estimates; the $28bnfigure comes from the other 36 that have done so(counting Puerto Rico among those that now seenew shortfalls). Of the missing 15, only a few areapt to avoid midcourse corrections, and some ofthe 36 will probably find that their gaps are evenwider than they now anticipate.

Shadowstats’ John Williams: Prepare For The Hyperinflationary Great DepressionSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/14/2009 14:32 -0500John Williams, who runs the popular counter government data manipulation site Shadowstats, has thrown down the gauntlet to deflationists, and in an extensive report concludes that the probability of a hyperinflationary episode in America over the next year has reached critical levels. While the debate between deflationists and (hyper)inflationists has been a long and painful one, numerous events set off in motion by the Bernanke Fed (as a direct legacy of the Greenspan multi-decade period of cheap and boundless credit) may have well cast America as the unwilling protagonist in the sequel of the failed monetary policy economic experiment better known as Zimbabwe.Williams does not mince his words:The U.S. economic and systemic solvency crises of the last two years are just precursors to a Great Collapse: a hyperinflationary great depression. Such will reflect a complete collapse in the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar, a collapse in the normal stream of U.S. commercial and economic activity, a collapse in the U.S. financial system as we know it, and a likely realignment of the U.S. political environment. The current U.S. financial markets, financial system and economy remain highly unstable and vulnerable to unexpected shocks. The Federal Reserve is dedicated to preventing deflation, to debasing the U.S. dollar. The results of those efforts are being seen in tentative selling pressures against the U.S. currency and in the rallying price of gold.And even as Bernanke continues existing in a factless vacuum where he sees no asset bubbles, Williams takes aim at the one party almost exclusively responsible for the economic carnage that will soon transpire:The crises have been generated out of and are centered on the United States financial system, triggered by the collapse of debt excesses actively encouraged by the Greenspan Federal Reserve. Recognizing that the U.S. economy was sagging under the weight of structural changes created by government trade, regulatory and social policies — policies that limited real consumer income growth — Mr. Greenspan played along with the political and banking systems. He made policy decisions to steal economic activity from the future, fueling economic growth of the last decade largely through debt expansion.The Greenspan Fed pushed for ever-greater systemic leverage, including the happy acceptance of new financial products, which included instruments of mis-packaged lending risks, designed for consumption by global entities that openly did not understand the nature of the risks being taken. Complicit in this broad malfeasance was the U.S. government, including both major political parties in successive Administrations and Congresses.As with consumers, the federal government could not make ends meet while appeasing that portion of the electorate that could be kept docile by ever-expanding government programs and increasing government spending. The solution was ever-expanding federal debt and deficits.Purportedly, it was Arthur Burns, Fed Chairman under Richard Nixon, who first offered the advice that helped to guide Alan Greenspan and a number of Administrations. The gist of the wisdom imparted was that if you ran into problems, you could ignore the budget deficit and the dollar. Ignoring them did not matter, because doing so would not cost you any votes.Back in 2005, I raised the issue of a then-inevitable U.S. hyperinflation with an advisor to both the Bush Administration and Fed Chairman Greenspan. I was told simply that “It’s too far into the future to worry about.”Indeed, pushing the big problems into the future appears to have been the working strategy for both the Fed and recent Administrations. Yet, the U.S. dollar and the budget deficit do matter, and the future is at hand. The day of ultimate financial reckoning has arrived, and it is playing out.Looking at the events over the past year demonstrates that Williams is not just being a drama queen.Effective financial impairments and at least partial nationalizations or orchestrated bailouts/takeovers resulted for institutions such as Bear Stearns, Citigroup, Washington Mutual, AIG, General Motors, Chrysler, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, along with a number of further troubled financial institutions. The Fed moved to provide whatever systemic liquidity would be needed, while the federal government moved to finance corporate bailouts and to introduce significant stimulus spending.Curiously, though, the Fed and the Treasury let Lehman Brothers fail outright, which triggered a foreseeable run on the system and markedly intensified the systemic solvency crisis in September 2008. Whether someone was trying to play political games, with the public and Congress increasingly raising questions of moral hazard issues, or whether the U.S. financial wizards missed what would happen or simply moved to bring the crisis to a head, remains to be seen.More on the impending timing of the complete economic collapse of the US financial system:Before the systemic solvency crisis began to unfold in 2007, the U.S. government already had condemned the U.S. dollar to a hyperinflationary grave by taking on debt and obligations that never could be covered through raising taxes and/or by severely slashing government spending that had become politically untouchable. The U.S. economy also already had entered a severe structural downturn, which helped to trigger the systemic solvency crisis.The intensifying economic and solvency crises, and the responses to both by the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve in the last two years, have exacerbated the government’s solvency issues and moved forward my timing estimation for the hyperinflation to the next five years, from the 2010 to 2018 timing range estimated in the prior report. The U.S. government and Federal Reserve already have committed the system to this course through the easy politics of a bottomless pocketbook, the servicing of big-moneyed special interests, gross mismanagement, and a deliberate and ongoing effort to debase the U.S. currency. Accordingly, risks are particularly high of the hyperinflation crisis breaking within the next year.What are the alternatives for the US? In a word, none. Presumably this means you should ignore what the axed “experts” from various bailed out sell side research chop shops try to tell you.The U.S. has no way of avoiding a financial Armageddon. Bankrupt sovereign states most commonly use the currency printing press as a solution to not having enough money to cover obligations. The alternative would be for the U.S. to renege on its existing debt and obligations, a solution for modern sovereign states rarely seen outside of governments overthrown in revolution, and a solution with no happier ending than simply printing the needed money. With the creation of massive amounts of new fiat dollars (not backed by gold or silver) will come the eventual destruction of the value of the U.S. dollar and related dollar-denominated paper assets.What lies ahead will be extremely difficult, painful and unhappy times for many in the United States. The functioning and adaptation of the U.S. economy and financial markets to a hyperinflation likely would be particularly disruptive. Trouble could range from turmoil in the food distribution chain to electronic cash and credit systems unable to handle rapidly changing circumstances. The situation quickly would devolve from a deepening depression, to an intensifying hyperinflationary great depression.While the economic difficulties would have global impact, the initial hyperinflation should be largely a U.S. problem, albeit with major implications for the global currency system. For those living in the United States, long-range strategies should look to assure safety and survival, which from a financial standpoint means preserving wealth and assets. Also directly impacted, of course, are those holding or dependent upon U.S. dollars or dollar-denominated assets, and those living in “dollarized” countries.In other words, the economic cycle will come back with a vengeance. Having pulled America out of the abyss by the last hairs on its Rogaine infused head, the Fed and the Administration have merely purchased one-two years of excess time in which insiders can sell all their holdings (look at recent reports indicating the ratio of insider sellers to buyers) and banks can book one/two years of record bonuses before signing off.And whether one is a deflationist or inflationist, the take home message from Williams’ thesis that everyone should be able to agree on, is what everyone knows yet is unwilling to admit: that the US economy (and its derivative, the undecoupled global economy, which that most certainly includes China) is that we are now caught in the greatest Ponzi bubble of all time. One small hiccup in which there is no incremental hollow value added on the margin courtesy of printing presses pushing fiat pieces of paper in overtime, would lead to precisely the same outcome as the world saw with Bernie Madoff: from $50 billion to 0 overnight. It is somehow fitting that world GDP is 1,000 time greater, at $50 trillion. Take away the fiat illusion, and the real value collapses to those concepts of tangible value that will remain in a post bubble implosion scenario: whether these be spam, gold, or lead.And just so there is no confusion about the course of events, Williams presents the Zimbabwe hyperinflation episode as the case study that the historian Bernanke should have been focusing on, instead of spending long nights, “learning” from the Great Depression.Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe, the former Rhodesia, was a quadrillion times worse than it was in Weimar Germany. Zimbabwe went through a number of years of high inflation, with an accelerating hyperinflation from 2006 to 2009, when the currency was abandoned. Through three devaluations, excess zeros repeatedly were lopped off notes as high as 100 trillion Zimbabwe dollars.The cumulative devaluation of the Zimbabwe dollar was such that a stack of 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (26 zeros) two dollar bills (if they were printed) in the peak hyperinflation would have be needed to equal in value what a single original Zimbabwe two-dollar bill of 1978 had been worth. Such a pile of bills literally would be light years high, stretching from the Earth to the Andromeda GalaxyIn early-2009, the governor of the Zimbabwe Reserve Bank indicated he felt his actions in printing money were vindicated by the recent actions of the U.S. Federal Reserve. If the U.S. went through a hyperinflation like that of Zimbabwe’s, total U.S. federal debt and obligations (roughly $75 trillion with unfunded liabilities) could be paid off for much less than a current penny.What helped to enable the evolution of the Zimbabwe monetary excesses over the years, while still having something of a functioning economy, was the back-up of a well functioning black market in U.S. dollars. The United States has no such backup system, however, with implications for a more rapid and disruptive hyperinflation than seen in Zimbabwe, when it hits.Maybe in retrospect it is good that banks are not lending out. If the $1.2 trillion in excess reserves were to actually hit circulating currency overnight, or even in a much more gradual fashion, then hyperinflation would surely be unavoidable, not so much as function of the consumer becoming a dominant force once again, which is the deflationists’ key point, but as a result of the excess liquidity of the capital markets, which is the only reason why the S&P is where it is, into Main Street. As it stands, banks’ unwillingness to recreate the cheap credit bubble by lending to anyone who has a pulse and can walk is the only thing that is so far preventing America’s name change to the United States of Zimbabwe.

The statistics don’t take into account those entering the work force that cannot find jobs.

Nouriel, consider offering Octavio Richetti some sort of featured position at your site, especially if the comment section of this blog is to be de-emphasized or eliminated. He’s an intelligent, cautious, experienced, and interesting active 1-person-scale investor, responding to your analyses from his practical perspective that I, for one, have found valuable, and charming as well, and unique in the blogosphere. Along with London Banker, I think he is someone you can take pride in your site having attracted and allowed to flourish in his individual manner. My advice and request again, offer to use him.

I have observed that over the course of creating a relationship with real estate owners, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every single real estate exchange, a commission amount is paid. Finally, FSBO sellers do not “save” the percentage. Rather, they try to win the commission by way of doing a agent’s occupation. In accomplishing this, they shell out their money and also time to execute, as best they will, the tasks of an agent.
