Jesse Noticed that COMEX Inventories Falling!

http://jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com/2012/04/comex-silver-inventory-...

"The long term decline in deliverable supply at this price level could become quite interesting.

The only ways to obtain more deliverable inventory to meet a bulge in demand is to game the rules on the ability to take physical delivery or let the price rise by buying on the open market.

The push by the CFTC for position limits may tighten the ability to take delivery from 1,500 to 1,000 contracts, but hedgers will be exempt from position limits on the short side. And the big silver short JPM claims to be a hedger.

Sociopathy is Running the US -- Part Two (casey)

"...Sociopathy Is Running the US - Part Two (part One here)

I recently wrote an article that addresses the subject of sociopaths and how they insinuate themselves into society. Although the subject doesn't speak directly to what stock you should buy or sell to increase your wealth, I think it's critical to success in the markets. It goes a long way towards explaining what goes on in the heads of people like Bernie Madoff and therefore how you can avoid being hurt by them.

The Trouble With Money

A Broken Narrative

Recently I was asked by a high school teacher if I had any ideas about why students today seem so apathetic when it comes to engaging with the world around them. I waggishly responded, "Probably because they're smart."

In my opinion, we're asking our young adults to step into a story that doesn't make any sense.

Sinclair Discusses How US Taxpayers are exposed to $291 Trillion in Derivatives!

http://www.jsmineset.com/2012/04/17/details-of-the-291-trillion-in-deriv...

Dear CIGAs,

"This article was called to my attention by the legendary CIGA Green Hornet. It is simply too good, too correct and too educational not to be published. For those with the attention span larger than gold fish, this must be read and understood. Today’s JSMineset is big but there is a great deal to say. You might consider printing it out, and taking it in smaller doses.

Sinclair Discusses Chinese Strategy

http://www.jsmineset.com/2012/04/17/jims-mailbox-909/

"Dear Matthew,

China is a Maoist country that likes money. The two hundred foot picture of Mao on the Hall of the People tells you all you need to know to get along in China.

The ousting of Starbucks from the center of the Forbidden City also has a message in it. Understand this, and you will understand more about our Chinese brothers. You might actually be able to work with them if you respect this.

As such, the population of China is to serve the best interest of the program for the greater good. The gold being bought by Chinese citizens is the Chinese government’s shadow inventory. If the nation needs it the civilian population will have the great honor of doing their patriotic duty by sending it in.

Scary Stuff (JP Morgan-MF Global-Euro Gate Escalates by Tom Heneghan)

http://harveyorgan.blogspot.com/2012/03/qeiii-will-be-upon-usdemand-for-...

"...UNITED STATES of America - It can now be reported that the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking has new evidence showing that JP Morgan had a $200 million overdraft aka a second margin call on the London LIFFE Exchange three days before the MF Global bankruptcy fiasco was triggered.

The second margin call (the first margin call was four days earlier for $175 million) dealt with cross-collateralized, compounded naked euro currency put options that were written by JP Morgan with the transactions being placed through the CME Group and the aforementioned London LIFFE Exchange.

We can now divulge that, thanks to PROMIS software, MF Global took the opposite side of the trade.

Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas Calls for Immediate Break-Up of Giant, Insolvent Banks (zerohedge)

http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2012-12-23/federal-reserve-bank-dal...

"...For years, many high-level economists and financial experts have said that - unless we break up the giant banks - our economy will never recover, real reform will be blocked, and democracy and the rule of law will be corrupted.

The President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas - Richard Fisher - has been one of those calling for the breakup of the giant, insolvent banks. But he has only done so in his private capacity ...

Until now.

How Much Treasury Debt?
If this doesn't scare the shit out of you - and scare you out of paper dollars and into real assets like gold and silver - then you are either brain dead or you just don't care anymore.

Tim Geithner (along with Bernanke) was testifying before the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform yesterday. Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) - in a display of forcing Geithner to answer a question directly that Ron Paul should take notes on - asked Geithner if he had only ONE more debt increase request that could possibly be made, how big would it be.
