    <title>May 7, The Big Lie About Precious Metals Miners</title>
    <guid>http://www.inflationproofinvestor.com/inflation-blog.html#The-Big-Lie-About-Precious-Metals-Miners</guid>
    <link>http://www.inflationproofinvestor.com/inflation-blog.html#The-Big-Lie-About-Precious-Metals-Miners</link>
    <description>The talking-heads in the mainstream media spend so much of their time talking out of both sides of their mouths that they have clearly become oblivious to the extent of that double-talk. This is the only rational explanation as to the insistence of the mainstream media in repeating the same self-contradictions.

In this case I’m referring to media double-talk regarding their reporting on the precious metals sector, and most particularly their totally perverse coverage of the precious metals miners. The contradictions should be obvious to any/all investors who watch this sector closely.

On the one hand we have the media endlessly bashing these miners as “under-performers”. Despite the (supposedly) “high” bullion prices we’ve seen in recent years just look at the charts, shriek these bashers. Yes, when we look at the results from our (totally manipulated) markets, it is clear that (mysteriously) these miners are in the midst of their second Depression in five years – in the middle of one of the longest, strongest bull markets in history. Of course the myopic media notices nothing unusual about that.

However, the propagandists couldn’t be content to leave their sabotage of the miners at that level. Out of the other side of their mouths we hear voices like Bloomberg. Inserting the stiletto, it proclaims in its headline:

Barrick Leads Miners Spending Faster Than Earnings Rising

    <description>Following this week's ongoing battery of abysmal economic news out of Europe it will hardly come as a surprise that yet another indicator has been released and is pointing to a multi-year low in the deleveraging (elsewhere called incorrectly austere) continent, namely the Euro-area wide confidence index which just slide to the lowest leve since 2009, missing every single estimate and declining sequentially across the board.

Economic confidence 92.8, est. 94.2 (prior 94.4)

Industrial confidence -9.0, est. -7.0 (prior -7.2)

Services confidence -2.4, est. -0.5% (prior -0.3)

Final consumer -19.9 (initial -19.8)

Business Climate Indicator -0.52, est -0.30 (prior -0.30)

    <title>Apr 25, The Implications Of China Paying In Gold</title>
    <guid>http://www.inflationproofinvestor.com/inflation-blog.html#The-Implications-Of-China-Paying-In-Gold</guid>
    <link>http://www.inflationproofinvestor.com/inflation-blog.html#The-Implications-Of-China-Paying-In-Gold</link>
    <description>Please carefully read the following comments by Jim Sinclair on the future of the US dollar and gold:

1. It is reasonable to assume that China has been threatened with total or at least selective exclusion from the SWIFT system if it pays in any currency for Iranian oil.

2. Gold has been decided by China as the means of making payment for massive international purchases free of the SWIFT system.

3. Other Asian and Middle Eastern nations will now see the gold they hold as money free of Western economic interference.

4. Gold now is not only money free of liability, but also free from interference regarding settlement by the long arm of Western influence.

5. The SWIFT system is becoming ever more a weapon of Western international political will.

6. In case of war anywhere, it is now demonstrated for all to see that only gold will buy the materials required. Paper currencies are under the SWIFT system's control in settlement.

7. Far from being a barbaric relic, gold is now clearly the money of state survival in every sense.

8. It is reasonable and possible for the supply of physical gold to fall far behind the size of the massive short positions now common to algorithm and hedge fund paper shorts. That will make an effective cover at a reasonable price as compared to a certain day's close impossible the following day on an exogenous event.

9. It may not be possible to use TA of any nature to determine a price of overvaluation for gold. Should the USA decide to take on China in full out economic war with the physical market totally illiquid, such as through isolation from the SWIFT system, consider the gold price that might result.</description>

    <title>Apr 17, Two Scenarios For Next Precious Metals Rally, Part II</title>

    <link>http://www.inflationproofinvestor.com/inflation-blog.html#Two-Scenarios-For-Next-Precious-Metals-Rally,-Part-II</link>
    <description>Article by Jeff Nielson

In Part I, I presented readers with the premise that the next rally for the precious metals sector would be triggered by either some significant “event” or (worse) a full-fledged market crash. Indeed, I suggested to readers that with gold and silver seemingly “trapped” (by the banksters) in a trading range that the sector needed a catalyst of this nature to break the metals free from this manipulation inertia.

I then went on to outline one of those scenarios: the crash-driven rally. Precious metals prices (and most commodities) would suddenly begin spiraling higher in an exponential manner – a clear signal that the masses would be beginning to shun the worthless paper of the banksters (and an obvious prelude to hyperinflation). To halt that existential threat to the bankers’ paper empire they would do precisely what they did in 2008: crash global markets to temporarily put the brakes on commodity prices, and buy them a reprieve from the total collapse of their paper.

    <title>Apr 17, Two Scenarios For Next Precious Metals Rally (Part I)</title>
    <guid>http://www.inflationproofinvestor.com/inflation-blog.html#Two-Scenarios-For-Next-Precious-Metals-Rally-(Part-I)</guid>
    <link>http://www.inflationproofinvestor.com/inflation-blog.html#Two-Scenarios-For-Next-Precious-Metals-Rally-(Part-I)</link>
    <description>Article by Jeff Nielson

Let me preface this piece by first stating that my reason for writing it was not to induce people to guess which scenario they found more probable, and then to place their bets beforehand. Rather, my purpose was exactly opposite: to prepare people for either scenario so that when they recognized one or the other unfolding they wouldn't do something stupid in a moment of panic (or greed).

Sadly, in our markets to &quot;do something stupid in a moment of panic&quot; generally means doing precisely the opposite of what one should be doing. This also explains why the bankers like to start panics. First of all, as the cause of these panics the banksters are neither &quot;panicked&quot; nor (obviously) surprised themselves. So they continue to operate calmly (in this feeding-frenzy) while the sheep make themselves especially easy to sheer.

As a result of this never-ending game being played in our markets by the bankers, there is genuine utility in looking ahead (something the sheep almost never do) so that when events do unfold we will be prepared to act (calmly) - as opposed to reacting in panic (as the bankers desire).

    <link>http://www.inflationproofinvestor.com/inflation-blog.html#Rob-Kirby:-Blythe-Masters-Lays-an-Egg</link>
    <description>On April 5, 2012, JPMorganChase commodity executive Blythe Masters appeared on CNBC, and she was questioned whether the bank is manipulating metals markets?

Masters’ response was,

&quot;There's been a tremendous amount of speculation, particularly in the blogosphere, on this topic,&quot; she told CNBC. &quot;I think the challenge is it represents a misunderstanding of the nature of our business. ... Our business is a client-driven business where we execute on behalf of clients to achieve their financial and risk-management objectives. ... We have offsetting positions. We have no stake in whether prices rise or decline.&quot;

So Blythe Masters would have us ALL believe that J.P. Morgue’s 76 Trillion derivatives position – illustrated below - is ALL CLIENT DRIVEN:

    <description>The global economy is healing, so we are told. Yet, the moment the Federal Reserve (Fed) indicates just that – and thus implying no additional stimulus may be warranted – the markets appear to throw a tantrum. In the process, the U.S. dollar has enjoyed what may be a temporary lift. To make sense of the recent turmoil, let’s look at the drivers of this “recovery” and potential implications for the U.S. dollar, gold, bonds and the stock market.

    <title>Apr 6, Gerald Celente: New Reserve Currency After 2012 Election</title>

    <link>http://www.inflationproofinvestor.com/inflation-blog.html#Gerald-Celente:-New-Reserve-Currency-After-2012-Election</link>
    <description>Get positioned for the dethroning of the U.S. dollar as the primary reserve currency, according to Trends Research Institute Founder Gerald Celente.

Since the balance of global trade has changed quite dramatically from 1944, the year of the Bretton Woods agreement and the introduction of the dollar standard, Celente sees the tend of competing currencies taking on more of the dollar’s role for international trade accelerating. 

As far as when western powers will move to a new currency, which has been speculated to include a weighted basket of currencies as well as a gold component, it won’t happen during an election year, Celente speculated.  Politics comes first.

“I would expect it to happen after the presidential elections,” Celente told Russia Today.  “They’re going to do everything they can to try and keep this thing going and try to sooth any kind of ripples coming from around the world.”

    <description>The largest oil exporter in the Middle East has teamed up with the second largest consumer of oil in the world (China) to build a gigantic new oil refinery and the mainstream media in the United States has barely even noticed it.  This mammoth new refinery is scheduled to be fully operational in the Red Sea port city of Yanbu by 2014.  Over the past several years, China has sought to aggressively expand trade with Saudi Arabia, and China now actually imports more oil from Saudi Arabia than the United States does.

    <title>Mar 21, Falling Treasuries: A Currency Perspective</title>

    <link>http://www.inflationproofinvestor.com/inflation-blog.html#Falling-Treasuries:-A-Currency-Perspective</link>
    <description>Commentary by Axel Merk:

&quot;Until the end of last year, China had been a net seller of U.S. Treasuries for six consecutive months, spooking some investors that China might start to diversify its reserves in earnest. That trend was reversed in January, when its Treasury holdings grew by 0.7% in one month to $1.159 trillion; year-on-year, China’s holdings increased a mere $4.8 billion. China’s year-on-year increase in Treasury holdings is sufficient to finance the U.S. current account deficit for about 3 business days; that’s a good reason why investors should care, as the current account deficit reflects the amount of U.S. dollar denominated assets foreigners need to buy just to keep the greenback from falling.&quot;

    <title>Mar 20, Faber Exposes Unprecedented Perils of Our Currency Crisis</title>
    <guid>http://www.inflationproofinvestor.com/inflation-blog.html#Faber-Exposes-Unprecedented-Perils-of-Our-Currency-Crisis</guid>
    <link>http://www.inflationproofinvestor.com/inflation-blog.html#Faber-Exposes-Unprecedented-Perils-of-Our-Currency-Crisis</link>
    <description>Here's how Faber views inflation:

If you start to print, it has the biggest impact. Then you print more — it has a lesser impact, unless you increase the rate of money printing very significantly. And, the third money-printing has even less impact. And the problem is like the Fed: They printed money because they wanted to lift the housing market, but the housing market is the only asset that didn’t go up substantially.

In general, I think that the purchasing power of money has diminished very significantly over the last ten, twenty, thirty years, and will continue to do so. So being in cash and government bonds is not a protection against this depreciation in the value of money.

    <description>The upgrading of Africa

In 2011, 35 emerging economies received upgrades to their sovereign debt ratings. This contrasts strongly to the developed world, where 32 countries saw ratings downgraded, and it reflects the increasing importance of emerging markets within the world economy. Included among the upgraded countries was South Africa, Africa’s largest economy and a member of the BRICS group of economies. A number of other countries in Africa also have a positive credit outlook, reflecting the low levels of debt found in many countries across the continent. The Alquity Africa Fund currently invests in 14 countries across Africa. As the chart shows, levels of debt as a percentage of GDP in these countries is consistently lower than the median figure for the G8 countries.
