Why the Politicians are Laughing – Hillary’s Unapologetic Corruption
According to the Wall Street Journal, total donations by UBS to the Clinton Foundation grew from less than $60,000 at the end of 2008 to approximately $600,000 by the end of 2014. The Wall Street Journal reports that the bank also lent $32 million through entrepreneurship and inner city loan programs that it launched in association with the Clinton Foundation. At the very same time, they were paying former President Bill Clinton $1.5 million to participate in a series of corporate Q&A sessions with UBS Chief Executive Bob McCann. You really cannot make up this stuff.
On top of that, the Inspector General recommended that the Justice Department investigate Hillary’s erasing of emails for that would have clearly been criminal. Of course, the Justice Department would NEVER investigate Hillary while in the hands of the Obama Administration. This is why the whole executive structure of government is broken.
The Justice Department is way too political, as are the judges who endorse whatever the government does. In our own case, here I was with tapes documenting market manipulations by the banks. The court receiver, Alan Cohen, was appointed to run Princeton Economics. Goldman Sachs then hired Cohen after threatening to imprison all the lawyers if the deid not hand over all tapes. Goldman made Cohen a member of the Board of Directors. However, CohenNEVER resigned from the court and continued running Princeton Economics from the board at Goldman. Come on! You cannot make up this type of outright corruption/conflict of interest; it is to the point where they simply do not care.
The Fed Rate Hike & U.S. Equities
Sometimes it really does not matter what the underlying truth might be – markets move based upon anticipation and typically reverse with the news. The Fed is looking more and more like it will begin to raise interest rates for it can see that the pension funds are in trouble. They need higher rates to survive.
The U.S. share market should drop with that anticipation, creating the false move. So a decline into the ECM target (Sept. 30 – Oct. 1, 2015) will be very healthy for the long-term. A drop in equities will send the last bit of capital rushing into the U.S. short-term debt, taking those rates negative to the extreme, cementing the major high in government. Thereafter, the reality of a failed political system should gradually make its way to the general public’s understanding by early 2016.
The Supply Side of Gold
A gold standard has never worked for one primary reason: the “money supply”cannot increase based upon economic conditions or politicians, rather it can increase due to new discoveries. This introduces the same flow concerned fiat money. The 19th century was plagued by the gold discoveries in California, Alaska, and Australia. Likewise, the discovery of gold in South America by the Spanish created massive inflation in Europe during the 16th century. The idea that gold provides some tangible value for money is absurd, for it has always risen and fallen in value based upon market conditions. Gold would no more provide a check against inflation than paper money. The only way to provide a stable money supply is to eliminate career politicians and stop the borrowing by government
Well, when it rains, it pours. In the Sudan, a large discovery of gold amounting to 43 tons has occurred, an amount expected to rise to 80 tons by the end of 2015, which is equivalent to a market value estimate of $2,555,262,400 if the market stays the same. The entire U.S. gold reserve is 8,000 tons. So, we are talking about a sizable discovery in the Sudan. The Sudanese government anticipates mining an additional 100 tons of gold in 2016.
From a supply-demand perspective, this could crush gold psychologically. In the long run, it will only have an impact when demand lags. It all depends upon the cost of production. When the monetary system cracks, that will be the focus. The markets will cherry-pick the news for that is always what they do.
The likelihood of the dollar collapsing is at zero right now. The crisis is manifesting in Europe first. The dollar will be driven higher as capital seeks to get off the grid and hide. The U.S. debt of $18 trillion is still a tiny fraction of the near $160 trillion in total world debt. It’s all a matter of perspective. Simply put, gold will rally ONLY when the stage is set. It will rise to the monetary crisis in the future – not right now.
The Flight from Gold
To make a market peak in a phase transition, the 99% must be bullish. Likewise, to create the low, the 99% have to be bearish. This is simply the way markets function. Now we begin to see the bearishness rise in the precious metals because quite frankly, the gold promoters put out such total bullshit with endless excuses to explain why they are always wrong, this group helps to create that attitude of rendering the precious metals a joke among mainstream investments and without that there is no bull market. The Wall Street Journal sais, “Let’s Be Honest About Gold: It’s a Pet Rock.” Bloomberg News ran an article saying “Gold Is Only Going to Get Worse.” The Washington Post says, “Gold is Doomed.”
The Deutsche Bank analysis warns that gold needs to fall further by 30% to reach $750 an ounce in order to bring prices back towards long-running historical averages. The bank analysis factors in world growth, the U.S. dollar, money supply, and central bank gold purchases with fair value calculated at $785 an ounce. Gold is clearly starting to build that force we have warned is required to make the major low. Then there is the extreme forecast of $350 published by Market Watch: Two reasons why gold may plunge to $350 an ounce.
Gold must lose all its friends, and the gold promoters must be fully discredited. This is how markets top and bottom no matter what market we are talking about. Of course, the hate mail is coming in, asking if I am satisfied. My answer: when are you going to use your brain instead of acting like a brainwashed pawn, no different from the recruits of ISIS? The gold promoters have hurt a lot of people and ruined their financial futures, yet people blame me because they made a stupid “investment” based upon propaganda. The gold promoters may even see class action lawsuits filed against them for masquerading fake analysis as real analysis. You cannot have a conflict of interest and be an objective observer, no less an analyst, at the same time. After all, when the major investment banks put out such nonsense as fake analysis, they were charged with fraud and paid huge fines for the same sort of nonsense they called analysis during the DOT.COM bubble. There is no difference. You CANNOT be an analyst and sell gold at the same time, or be on the payroll of those who sell gold, or the bankers who were manipulating markets for short-term gains.
You have to shake the tree before a reversal in trend ever takes place, regardless of the market. The majority of the sentiment must swing against gold, for in the end that will be the fuel that reverses the trend – short covering, not fresh buying. The low will be a question of TIME and PRICE, and when that combination is achieved, then and only then will the market reverse. Instead of blaming me, try learning something about how markets functions if you want to play the game. If you are not capable of digesting anything but propaganda, well keep buying until to cannot even feed the dog.
There are still the gold promoters who claim they can prove that paper gold suppresses the gold price. If that were true, it would apply to all futures, and besides that fact, they have no problem when gold rallies in the futures market. If their theory were correct, then why buy gold? Give up and buy stocks.
“Paper gold” is the ONLY reason that gold is a viable market. Without a central clearing house, any commodity becomes illiquid. How do you price it? It becomes an art. Its value becomes a matter of opinion. You only ever hear how “paper gold” suppresses the gold price in a bear market. During bull markets, they love the futures markets. Could it be that these people are just hopelessly biased and desperate to try to explain why they are in a losing trade?
Others cry that rising demand caused the U.S. mint to stop production to keep up with the demand, meaning gold is suppressed by paper gold elaborately resorting to supply-demand theories. What they totally ignore is that at the peak in markets, it is the demand for futures because the bulk of people “trade” and do not want to physically take possession of gold. They trade on leverage. These promoters totally ignore that the concentration of capital into a single sector that creates the Phase Transition or the flight of capital that creates the Waterfall. They come up with elaborate theories to explain why they are wrong when in fact they do not understand that EVERYTHING rises and falls in value. It is not even that people fall out of love with gold; it is the simple fact that they can make more money elsewhere.
A $1,000 investment in gold in 1980 vs. a $1,000 investment in the Dow Jones Industrials shows that the latter made money and the former lost more than 50%, since adjusted for inflation gold must be $2300 to breakeven. Gold has not been in a real bull market, measured in international value terms. So all the hype, claims, and finger-pointing means absolutely nothing. This is not a religious cult like ISIS – it is a market. If you distrust the monetary system, fine. But be rational about the timing and how the world functions.
So, sorry. I totally disagree with gold promoters. Gold will have its time to rally and futures will be a key element in helping to create the next bull market. Just utter nonsense with more excuses, one after the other. Why are all futures markets not suppressed? Under this theory, the U.S. share market must be worth 10 times its current value for it must be suppressed by paper futures and ETFs.
The conspiracy theories are just astonishing. The latest claims state that the world will end in September:
Sunday, Sept. 13, 2015. The day when the elite (the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, etc.) have scheduled a worldwide financial collapse to occur. They intend to accomplish this by initiating a sudden spike in interest rates, which will trigger an implosion in the global derivatives market, effectively rendering all currencies worthless – including the U.S. dollar. Subsequently, we will all awake on Monday, Sept. 14, 2015 to a permanently changed world.
Just what would such families gain by destroying the world economy? Their wealth is measured in the same currencies. This is why gold is not ready for prime time because nobody in their right mind wants to be associated with this stuff. Where is your tinfoil hat? This total fraud has to stop.
No market is a one-way street. We explained that the peak in gold completed a 13-year rally and a correction would then follow from 2011. We also provided the target that gold would crack the $1,000 level, and provided the timing for the low with the reversal in trend. That is called analysis. Nothing moves only in one direction. All markets rise, fall, and then rise again. Open your eyes and learn market movement if you want to play the game. If you want to believe you are a victim of the bank manipulations, go right ahead. Then why invest in something that never rises unless you enjoy being the victim?
Cryptocurrencies
QUESTION:
Hi Martin, I like that you are very open minded when in comes to future tech which will change the world and dogmas (like electric cars and gas becoming obsolete etc.). One of these things is also electronic money which will make physical money obsolete as well. I am just curios why you put so little attention to cryptocurrencies. I know you think of them as low market cap asset class and government can prohibit them any time if they feel they threaten their tax income. However I can easily imagine a future where cryptocurrencies are used by government in the regulated manner as they are forced to react to advancing technology. The same way they were forced to react to electronic cigarettes or will be forced to react to electric cars by taxing something else than tobacco or gas. The same way they will HAVE to find a way how to integrate cryptos into the society and still keep the taxation unchanged, in my opinion. It would be lovely to hear more from you on Bitcoin and other cryptos!
Have a nice day and keep the great work!

ANSWER: There is no doubt that we will move toward electronic money. I am skeptical about private cryptocurrencies because anything that threatens those in power losing control or avoiding taxes will be hunted down with a vengeance. The big problem government has with moving fully electronic is that not everyone has a computer and about 50% of the world does not even have a bank account.
Personally, I still have cash and avoid E-ZPass as well. Governments promised that they would never use E-ZPass technology for speeding tickets, but they lied. A friend received a speeding ticket in the mail from Virginia, stating that they drove through the E-ZPass lane 10 mph above the speed limit. I remain skeptical about government because they are simply not trustworthy.
