Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts - Good Morning Fiat Nam

It is a mistake to underestimate the depths of self-serving policy error to which Wall Street and the ruling elite will sink in order to kick the can down the road and maintain their positions of privilege.  Every time I think they can go no further, I am surprised.  Shame on me.

The Fed has never seen a bubble it didn't like.  And if the trickle down isn't working, keep doing the same thing, but even more.   Tempting fate doesn't begin to cover it.

There was intraday commentary here.   Although I do not mention it, there may have been a veiled message in there for the people of Switzerland, to comply and conform their domestic policies to the monied interests.

Try to remember those who have passed away on this weekend, as has been the fourteen centuries long tradition in western Christian culture on All Saints' Day, when in 610 AD Boniface IV consecrated the Pantheon in Rome to the memory of Mary and the martyrs.  And you might have a mind for those who remain in the struggle for justice and righteousness, All Souls, on the day after.  I will remember you, as always.

Quaintly foolish notions these days, I know, among those who would be as gods, or perhaps already are, at least in their own minds.

And may the odds be ever in their favour.

Have a pleasant weekend.

 

SP 500 and NDX Futures Daily Charts - The Fed Has Crossed the Rubicon

The Fed very deliberately stopped a market correction and managed to turn the equity markets around, very consciously, in order to end their taper without any negative effects to Wall Street.

Last night the Bank of Japan announced a more aggressive quantitative easing AND pledged a portion of their national pension fund to buying not only Japanese equities but also the equities of foreign markets.

The Fed and the Bank of Japan are back doing the money printing tag team and carry trades that carried the markets higher from 2002 to 2007 and helped to create the housing bubble and the subsequent financial crisis.

And it is obvious that Wall Street and the ruling elite have learned absolutely nothing. They go from crisis to crisis, with their delusions of power growing with each successful fraud. If there is another financial crisis and bailout, prosecutions may be among the least of their problems.

Right now the BOJ is exporting deflation to the US in the form of a strong dollar. This is not going to help a recovery, but Yen based printed money may help to swell paper assets.

This is a formula for disaster.

 

Bernie Sanders: Breaking Big Money's Grip on US Elections

Not likely with both major parties swilling at the Big Money troughs, during and after office.

The first step will be to get the politicians to care what the people think and want again, and not treat them with such casual disdain and contempt.
