  • The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That’s one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can ever help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population — the intelligent ones or the fools? I think we can agree it’s the fools, no matter where you go in this world, it’s the fools that form the overwhelming majority.

    Hendrik Ibsen-

  • The mainstream (corporate) media is nothing less than the unofficial accomplice of the banking crime syndicate which is running/ruining our markets and economies. Nowhere is this despicable relationship more apparent than in its deliberate efforts to grossly misinform investors on the critical subject of risk.

    Jeff Nielsen

  • The business of investing rationally becomes problematic when market participants are pursuing maximum nominal returns without a second thought as to the real (inflation-adjusted) value of those returns and the location of the savings. Our Goal is to maximize safety.

  • Comparing the currencies is like picking the prettiest horse in the glue factory. The history of all fiat currencies shows they all end up being valueless. Gold’s nobody else’s liability and it has no counterparty risk. It’s provided protection against destruction of wealth for centuries and we’re at the cusp of another major chapter in its illustrious history.

Glass–Steagall Act

1933 Banking act

FDICThe Banking Act of 1933 was a law that established the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the United States and introduced banking reforms, some of which were designed to control speculation.[1] It is most commonly known as the Glass–Steagall Act, after its legislative sponsors, Carter Glass and Henry B. Steagall.

Some provisions of the Act, such as Regulation Q, which allowed the Federal Reserve to regulate interest rates in savings accounts, were repealed by the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980. Provisions that prohibit a bank holding company from owning other financial companies were repealed on November 12, 1999, by the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act. [2][3]

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. was voted into place by President Clinton and actually broke the back of the financial system.

The repeal of the Glass–Steagall Act of 1933 effectively removed the separation that previously existed between Wall Street investment banks and depository banks and has been blamed by some for exacerbating the damage caused by the collapse of the subprime mortgage market that led to the Financial crisis of 2007–2010.[4]

In the past, we had deposit banks and loan banks. If you put your money in a deposit bank, the money was there to pay your rent and food expenses. It was safe. Loan banking was risky. You provided money to a loan bank, knowing funds would be tied up for a period of time and that you were taking a risk of never seeing this money again. For this, you received interest to compensate for the risk taken and the value of time preference. Back then, bankers who took a deposit and turned it into a loan took the risk of shortly hanging from the town’s large oak tree. During the early part of the nineteenth century, the deposit function and loan function was merged into a new entity called a commercial bank. Of course, very quickly, these new commercial banks realized they could dip into deposits, essentially committing fraud as a source of funding for loans. Governments soon realized that such fraudulent activity was a great way to finance government expenditures and passed laws making this fraud legal.

glass-steagall-investmentSimilar regulations were voted into place in Europe during the 1980s and early 1990s. The result was that Banks became Hedge funds and could gamble with the funds of their depositors. Profits disappeared in the pockets of the Bankers, losses were paid by the taxpayer and/or by the large depositors. 

After the Hyperinflation, economic and financial crisis in Chili, a similar Banking Act of 1933 was put in place in order to protect the depositor. Such a law is A KEY LAW FOR ANY STABLE AND SANE FINANCIAL SYSTEM. Banks should not be allowed to speculate in any possible way with the deposits of their customers.

There are two kinds of contracts a depositor can have with his bank. Only one allows the Bank to use the deposit for other means. Today the line between these two contacts has been erased together, leaving an extremely dangerous situation. 

The reality today is that as soon as somebody deposits funds into a bank account, he becomes a CREDITOR to the bank...not at all what most Savers have in mind!
