By 1945, the U.S. had 76% of the world's gold reserves, cementing the reserve status of the Dollar. "According to Michael Lombardi, lead contributor to Profit Confidential, there is mounting evidence of large amounts of buying in the gold market by India, Japan and China. New York, NY (PRWEB) April 30, 2012 According to Michael Lombardi, lead contributor to Profit Confidential, there is mounting evidence of large amounts of buying in the gold market by India, Japan and China. In the article, Two Major Countries Join in China’s Quest for Gold, Lombardi says that, culturally, Asia views gold bullion and the reasons for buying gold bullion differently than we do here in the West...."

Either IBEX mounts a hell of a rally to catch up with S&P 500 or the S&P snaps to catch IBEX. Such stack divergence points to a very weak market fundamentals... Global markets are unstable and when the floor caves in, the crash will not be funny. Caution! Speaks for itself - PIIGS debts vs Bundesbank claims. Really ugly this.

The 1990s was the decade of controversial structural adjustment. When I was traveling through Africa during that period, black markets were everywhere. Today they are exceptional. Compared to Europe, Africa’s macroeconomic policies look excellent! For example, Kenya’s debt level of around 45 percent of GDP would propel it to one of the top performers in the European Union. So KE's 45% debt to GDP ratio would make it the cream of EU... Salalaa... Dunia kwisa $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Chinese Yuan - will it be gold backed and will asia be able to counter the west with their own SWIFT system. Arabian gold dinar - will it really see the day without the petro-dollar BRICs reserve currency - will the basket of their currencies suffice... African reserve currency - as per ghadaffi's dreams of a gold back currency Euro - will it crash out or will ze germans and nordics form a nordic euro and kick out the other parasitic members. At the same time will the swiss be able to launch their gold backed swiss franc as they return to gold standard... USD - will it survive the current monetary war to topple it from the reserve seat. Interesting times as the currency war scales up... A recipe for serious trader wars if not a global war. Divine intervention required... $15/barrel oil...

Who needs expensive oil with a limping global economy taking large knocks for a sinking eurozone... Btw does this mean the persian faceoff has run out of steam? $15/barrel oil...

Large H&S pattern on weekly chart for canadian stocks -TSX. I continue to fancy the sell side for equities. Too many divergence scenarios in global markets. For ETF, I like BGZ on the buy side. $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Sarkozy is french kissed goodbye. In the process Mr Market is not amused and plunges the markets... Ze germans dont like both set of results either. And this is just the beginning of elections in euroland. The Irish referendum this May is another powderkeg. Holland got no cabinet - sept looms. Belgium, no gubberment for almost 2yrs! Will EU be able to hold together? Eurocrats are fast taking in a lot of water. A few months later it will be time to buy the euro. You will know when ze germans hold their elections... http://www.guardian.co.u...ction-financial-markets And in May 6 2010 the market got to know a 'flash crash'. The window is the same... $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!
