The "Crash JP Morgan Buy Silver" Guerilla campaign should not be under-estimated. The physical silver is extremely limited, except what they say may be on the "moon" (he he he). JP Morgan's options desk has been betting against the market, to the extent that their derivative position is leveraged in excess of 100:1. Some analysts estimate outstanding contracts of about USD 1.5 trillion, with some as far as USD 69 trillion. Either way, their is an over-concentration of risk amongst four "too big to fail banks"
The "Pyramid Corporation" controls all but 5 Central Banks worldwide. So, its a wonder to note that no African Central Banks are taking defensive postures. Only Bangladesh bought Gold. And there was the BIS Swap with Portugal, that may have been smoke-and-mirrors. Also note, only Brazil and South Africa are monitoring the influx of "hot money" into their systems, with the former instituting some form of capital controls. Over here, you can just look at the Commercial Banks' liquidity since July, to wonder what economic miracle has occurred.
The bottom line people, a major change is expected, with a shift back to "honest-money", i.e. the Gold and/or Silver standard. It will be painful in the short-run. Zoellick is no fool. Remember, Medvedev's gift of the gold coin to other G8 leaders. I've seen other commodity-based models, that are carbon-based.
Again, QE2 is not structured any different from QE1. QE2 may actually be USD 800 + USD 1.2 trillion by end FY 2011. At the same time, there's possibility of a breakdown of the WTO agreement, as tariffs will be imposed. We should have QE3....9, until deflation is avoided!!!
People, get Gold and Silver early, or some other tangible asset that's exchangeable for value. This party's heating up!

@scubidu - Well Tz also decides it's time to spruce up the old inflation model just like her big sis KE. I expect Ug to follow suit now that we're one big sister family...

28 consecutive weeks of funds outflow even as the US stocks run up beyond the April 2010 highs (see link below). US stocks are rallying on fumes and anaemic volume! This wont end well; only time will tell. Interesting to note that govt motors (GM) IPO was taken up well. China & Canadian main indices have now turned daily bearish - more losses in coming weeks. Apple too has turned daily bearish & the current sell volume towers the buy volume since June. Apple is the signal to short nasdaq - has worked as a leading indicator since 2005. @mwekahazina - the sooner the fraudelent banks are put out of biz, the better. When silver zooms above $30, $50 will be in scope and those 'guys' selling silver contracts they don't hold had better start learning how to print money out of thin air to pay up. It's a pity that investors of late rely on QEs to support equities. If all is well in this so called 'global econ recovery' then why the endless stimulus? Debt monetization cannot repay debt. That's the same as taking another loan to pay up a former loan. It's a rat race to bankruptcy! As for EA applying hedging by getting gold or silver reserves, I don't see it happening while their CBs are busy looking for ways to remodel inflation math. It's easier & cheaper. Or to give them credit, this will hide the hot money inflation influence. Or EA countries are sitting on large gold/silver deposits waiting for miners. Anyway I hope the QE money lords continue printing into the oblivion. That way both equity investors & commodities traders will be smiling to the bank as both asset classes rally like mad due to the hot money. But food inflation will become unbearable and that's when govts will run into big trouble. At the same time that's when the equity investors will realize that priced in paper/fiat money their holdings look wealthy, but priced in precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium etc) the haircut reality will be shocking. I expect copper to out price equities by the time this fiat currency system meltup hits the fan. This time I expect the money gods to kill their own system while in pursuit of any method to maintain the keynesian economics status quo of credit based systems. http://www.zerohedge.com.../Cum%20Flows%2011.17.jpg$15/barrel oil...

As long as everyone's happy (I wonder who coz the inflation bites the common man), let's continue hiding the purchasing power loss http://www.iol.co.za/bus...lation-formula-1.810315[/quote] Uganda is way ahead on already; they changed a few months after we did. As usual the target items are food and energy that plague sub-saharan markets. A harmonized effort amongst EAC countries, not sure whose backing the move (IMF or whoever), but it makes sense to do it accross the board. We import a fair amount of inflation to Uganda, so it made sense to adjust their figures. Read more: http://allafrica.com/stories/201010191011.html
Interesting quote from the above article. "The move might be good but (calculation from arithmetic to geometric means) has to present the real picture," Dr Ngowi said. Mr Hussein Kamote, an economist with Confederation of Tanzania Industries (CTI), said "by using the geometric, technically the inflation figure will tumble-down. But the rates shouldn't merely be figures to please certain quarters in the society."One thing these statistics aren't factoring in ... AGFLATION WORLDWIDE ...

@hisah. But guess whose not following the stats anymore. KPLC. I just looked at my power bills and the inflation adjustment was 5 cents in December 2009, 8 cents in June 2010, 10 cents in September 2010. But look at the elec inflation figures in the CPI...all going down. “We are the middle children of history man, no purpose or place. We have no great war, no great depression.

Hmmm! Husah & Scubidu: Nice to know there people who see how things are going. Debt Monetization reduces the proportion of China's holdings in USD Bond, but its money printed by the Fed (and who owns the Fed and IRS?) The "cooking" of inflation figures by EA is similar, though a different approach, to the US Fed's removal of "M2" in the early 2000s and . Its setting us up for a series bubbles. Good for wise traders, lakini, mtajikakamua!!! @Scubidu, you've mentioned a very important point - agflation. Nomura came up with a report in September 2010 dubbed "The 25 Countries that will be screwed by a Food Crisis" http://www.businessinsid...od-crisis-2010-9?slop=1 Kenya is on the list. Here, take a long term view, and its not population growth or global warming that's the underlying cause. Please find out. Lets look at Silver, Monday trading sessions from East Asia to UK, registered some gains, then the artillery came in "late" and hammered the price down. Today??? http://www.silverseek.com/ In the long-run, hard money will defeat soft money.

HERBERT HOOVER ON THE 1931 CURRENCY CRISIS "During this new stage of the depression, the refugee gold and foreign government reserve deposits were constantly driven by fear hither and yon over the world. We were to see currencies demoralized and governments embarassed as fear drove the gold from one country to another. In fact, there was a mass of gold and short-term credit which behaved like a loose cannon on the deck of the world in a tempest-tossed era" - The Memoirs of Herbert Hoover: the Great Depression, 1929-1941

@Karanjakinuthia - The 1930s depression was another scandal in itself. It was a scheme where the bubble was blown, then the rug pulled purposely (margin calls!, credit lines etc.). The result was the banks with links to the Jekyll Island group, bought up the smaller banks. It was also a scheme to mop up whatever "Gold" was available. The intrigues are not really what is put out as official history. Gold confiscation (Robbery) as USD 9 or 15 per oz, whereas the the actual value was USD 35. The current scheme is to reduce wealth of the middle class, worldwide, and sovereignity (aka Ireland). So, where's this gold? Is it still there? Its supposed to have accumulated to 8,000 tonnes and last audited in 1954.... @Scubidu - Nice one. @Hisah - Here's Max Keiser's on Eric Cantona. http://rt.com/programs/k...eiser-alex-jones-banks/

Quite interesting from Max Keiser. I like that viral campaign against fraudelent banks.

We truly are in the thick of Phase II of the Debt Crisis. A collapse of the real estate sector in the western hemisphere is exposing cracks in the socialist structure and causing immense strain on the debt of nations. The IMF's bitter prescription of austerity has but one result: higher taxes, rising unemployment and growing civil unrest. "Ireland sought international aid, becoming the second euro country to need a rescue as the cost of saving its banks threatened a rerun of the Greek debt crisis that destabilized the currency. Ireland will channel some of the money from the European Union and International Monetary Fund to lenders through a “contingent” capital fund, Irish Finance Minister Brian Lenihan told reporters late yesterday. The rest of the package, which Goldman Sachs Group Inc. estimates may total 95 billion euros ($130 billion), would help Ireland avoid selling bonds...."

We're in an interesting situation. Every Financial Centre is vulnerable in various ways. Our sea lanes are full of pirates, yet they can't be caught by International Navies. This threatens to "import inflation", as we've developed a taste for the Orient. Seems we're the Spaniards with a Jolly Roger problem. Then we have potential trade agreements with the EU that limit value-addition. Uganda's not too keen on signing up. Then there's the possibility of outlawing tobacco at the next UN talks. The largest producers being China,...., Zimbabwe,....Kenya!!! Potential for Chinese appreciation of the Yuan! Etc. etc. Reflecting on an old computer game in which players had to play various economic production, military cards, and it would announce "Embargo On". Any Kenyan Buckminster Fuller??!!!

The silver short squeeze will be a spectacle... http://news.coinupdate.c...ver-bar-shortages-0542/
http://harveyorgan.blogspot.com/
@Mwekahazina - I stopped worrying about these useless pacts from the likes of World bank, IMF, WTO, EU, AGOA, NAFTA etc when I realized the money/economy ponzi model cracked up in 2006. It has been failing since then and we're just pretending that all is well with these fiat ponzi cash scheme. The longer the pretext the better the chances of a total collapse. $15/barrel oil...

The emerging nations of China and Russia acting out of anticipation to the Debt Crisis crossing the pond from Europe to the U.S., triggering a Dollar crisis such as that witnessed in the Euro. In addition is the unilateral move by the U.S. Federal Reserve to engage in quantitative easing (money printing) despite international protestations. "St. Petersburg, Russia - China and Russia have decided to renounce the US dollar and resort to using their own currencies for bilateral trade, Premier Wen Jiabao and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin announced late on Tuesday. Chinese experts said the move reflected closer relations between Beijing and Moscow and is not aimed at challenging the dollar, but to protect their domestic economies. "About trade settlement, we have decided to use our own currencies," Putin said at a joint news conference with Wen in St. Petersburg...."
