Central Scam Artists Downgraded

Central Scam Artists Downgraded - Greenspan - Bernanke - Federal Reserve

goldsilver.com 

It seems Alan Greenspan, the Ex-Chairman of the US Federal Reserve and mentor of his protege in crime, current Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, should get their fables straight before they appear on television.  

Check out how brazenly dangerous Alan Greenspan conducted himself this past Sunday morning on NBC's Meet The Press:






The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money...Alan Greenspan

Wait a second, perhaps Alan should check with Ben on their story because according to Ben's interview late last year on CBS' 60 Minutes, the US is not printing money and the monetary base is not expanding all that much:




One myth that is out there is that what we are doing is printing money. We are not printing money... The money supply is not changing in any significant way.
- Ben Bernanke

t looks like Alan and Ben need to get on the same page when it comes to money printing and what is officially happening to the monetary base of the US dollar:



Finally there is the instant classic of Ben Bernanke's recent denial of historical facts, common sense, and basic economic laws.

Check out Ben's ridiculous retort when asked by Ron Paul on July 13, 2011 as to whether or not gold is money:



Central bankers and the lies they tell are the antithesis of gold.

When they blurt moronic statements in large public forums like the aforementioned examples, gold, the true money of mankind tends to explode to the upside.

The central scam artists can say whatever they want. The fact is that the dollar, euro, yen, franc, pound, peso etc. are and will continue to bow to true free market monies, gold and silver.

For this reason we continue to convert our paper debt based cash and fiat currencies into physical gold and silver bullion long-term. With central bankers like these, it is making the inevitable wealth exchange happen at breath taking speed with a real possibility of the move going parabolic - are you ready?

黃金太貴買金礦股?
股災之際介紹買股票,是吃力不討好的事情。不過,我並不認為全球正步入經濟衰退,只是淡友趁美歐政客犯錯時踩多幾腳謀取厚利而已。美國主權評級被調低本來亦屬情理之中,只是市場曾認為美國的評級公司不會這樣做,但標普確實這樣做了,各國政府狂罵也於事無補,避險情緒即時進一步增加,股票被視為高風險投資,自必沒有運行。

我向來認為,當各國都在印銀紙時,唯有黃金才是真正的金錢。本來,金價近期已有點兒超買,即是短線升得過急,但如今卻沒有甚麼較好的選擇,就算不想高追,也起碼要繼續持有。

買金可買實金、紙黃金,也可買在交易所上市的黃金基金ETF(2840) ,實金有欣賞價值,拿着有手感,其他藝術品要防潮防污,金條金幣則只怕有賊人入屋。紙黃金和黃金基金則純屬投資保值。無論怎樣,在風大浪大之際,投資組合內必須有些黃金,愈遲上車成本愈高。

商品大王羅傑斯老師和「新末日博士」魯賓尼幾年前都正確預見美國房地產爆煲及會導致環球金融風暴,如今他們又看淡環球經濟前景,但最大的分別,是魯賓尼乃書生一名,其投資建議經常出錯,特別是他認為黃金沒有價值,甚至公開指羅傑斯預期金價十年內升上2000美元是「胡說八道」。

今時今日,他已不敢舊事重提,羅傑斯則繼續看好金價和銀價,中長期他亦看好農產品。

羅傑斯一向不贊成買金礦股,認為看好黃金便買金,看好白銀便買銀,因為開採礦物涉及是否經營得法,所擁有礦場是否名副其實。我前幾年半信半疑,自以為懂得選擇買優質金礦股,而不少金礦股也曾經隨金價上升,某些年份,賺更多錢。但長期計數,卻發覺散戶在買賣金礦股方面較被動,其波幅很多時不會緊跟黃金價格走勢,結果,大多數金礦股升幅都及不上買實金,部份更出現醜聞,個別甚至停牌


Who 'made $10bn on 10/1 bet that U.S. credit rating would be downgraded'?

Who 'made $10bn on 10/1 bet that U.S. credit rating would be downgraded'?

  • Unknown investor or hedge fund 'made $850million bet'
  • Bet in futures market reportedly done at odds of 10/1
  • George Soros made similar bet on currency in 1992
  • But source says he wasn't involved in rumoured trade

mystery investor or hedge fund reportedly made a bet of almost $1billion at odds of 10/1 last month that the U.S. would lose its AAA credit rating. Now questions are being asked of whether the trader had inside information before placing the $850million bet in the futures market, or if the bet happened at all.
There were mounting rumours that investor George Soros, 80, famously known as ‘the man who broke the Bank of England’, could be involved.

Was it him? George Soros, 80, has been mentioned as potentially being the mystery investor who won a $1billion bet that the credit rating would fall



He made more than $1billion on currency speculation when the British pound left the Exchange Rate Mechanism on Black Wednesday in 1992.
But a source with knowledge of the firm said Soros was not involved in the rumoured trade and questioned whether in fact there had been such a trade at all.

The latest bet was made on July 21 on trades of 5,370 ten-year Treasury futures and 3,100 Treasury bond futures, reported ETF Daily News.
Now the investor's gamble seems to have paid off after Standard and Poor’s issued a credit rating downgrade from AAA to AA+ last Friday.
Whoever it is stands to earn a 1,000 per cent return on their money, with the expectation that interest rates will be going up after the downgrade.

Concerned traders: Wall Street opened down on Monday after Standard and Poor's issued a credit rating downgrade from AAA to AA+ last Friday

The link has been made to Mr Soros in part because he has been tied to President Obama’s administration since 2008, reported The Examiner.
He also recently stopped managing money for outside investors, meaning he is under less scrutiny from the Securities and Exchange Commision
But the mystery bet could easily have been made by another trader with similar resources, despite Mr Soros’s links with the Obama administration.
The bet also raises questions of whether President Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner knew that a downgrade was on the cards.
Mr Geithner said in April there was ‘no risk’ of a downgrade - but the government now appears annoyed, not surprised, by last week’s decision.
He has since slammed S&P for showing 'terrible judgment' in their decision and a 'stunning lack of knowledge' of U.S. fiscal budget maths.
