Swiss Bank Refuses Request for Cash Withdrawal! The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks. (Lord Acton). The problem is that today it has become a fight of 'We the People" versus the Authorities and the Banks.

Authorities don't understand what is happening: people start to revolt because there is no work, no jobs, no income and no hope.

Wednesday April 29, 2015 - We live a planned market economy (communism) not a free market !!!!

Updated sections: Bonds, Gilts & Treasuries in the EU ,

Talk is cheap: whenever anything else (low & negative interest rates, QE - printing money) fails or whenever it becomes impossible to use other instruments (increase interest rates), authorities use TALK...This indicates the end is near......

Boston Fed Admits There Is No Exit, Suggests QE Become "Normal Monetary Policy" : "Largely missing from these discussions about the Fed's "exit strategy" is a consideration that perhaps it should retain, not discard, the balance sheet tools," the Boston Fed says, in a new paper advocating the retention of QE as a permanent part of the Fed's tool box. QEfinity may yet become a reality and for the most ironic of reasons: because the Fed is now in charge of promoting "financial stability" something which, as last October's Treasury flash crash proves, is exacerbated by asset purchases not ameliorated.

Bankruptcies Suddenly Soar Across Corporate America, Worst First Quarter Since 2009 NEW YORK (TheStreet) — "Come down to Houston," William Snyder, leader of the Deloitte Corporate Restructuring Group, told Reuters. "You'll see there is just a stream of consultants and bankruptcy attorneys running around this town." But it's not just in Houston or in the oil patch. It's in retail, healthcare, mining, finance. Bankruptcies are suddenly booming, after years of drought.

This can POSTPONE the inevitable but cannot STOP it. By the 1930’s, a Federal-Reserve-fueled speculative bubble had burst, resulting in numerous bank failures, which shrank the money supply by nearly a third in three years. So far, most banks have been bailed out with tax money and Banks received the legal power to plunder the bank accounts of their customers in case they run into trouble.

In 1933, newly-elected President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided to counter the falling money supply in a most drastic manner. To accomplish this he confiscated all privately-held gold and immediately devalued the US dollar. Prior to the seizure it took approximately $21 to buy an ounce of gold and afterwards it took $35. Soon after, contractual obligations of the US government, such as bonds payable in gold, were nullified, with the approval of the Supreme Court. This goes to show how governments, in a period of emergency, can change rules and break their own laws.

Tuesday April 28, 2015 - It's liquidity that moves markets

Updated sections: Corporate Bonds ,

The situation in the Middle East is still very bad and the mass migration that’s taking place out of North Africa is going to lead to major problems in Europe. If current trends and policies continue, immigrants will account for the largest share of US population ever by 2023, and white Americans will become a minority by 2044, conservative groups are claiming, citing US Census Bureau data.

Central banks worldwide have created trillions of dollars, euro's, Yen's,... and credit has grown exponentially, but very little of the printed money has reached the global economy because the banks are bankrupt. If the banks valued their toxic assets at market value, no major bank would be standing. Debt has grown by $57 trillion since 2009, and all that debt has not led to any improvement in the world economy. All it has led to is more liquidity in the global stock markets, which are now massively overvalued.

On top of grossly overvalued stock markets, bond markets are now yielding zero or even negative rates. Government debt is now yielding negative returns. This is totally unreal. Governments are trying desperately to lower rates even further in order to get the world economy going. But nothing is working...this is the end of the end...

When this up-market gets going in earnest in the gold and silver sector, it too will be epic by anybody’s imagination. We expect the Massive Second Leg Of Gold Rally to start soon while we may have a Disaster For Global Stock Markets

Monday April 27, 2015 - Negative Interest Rates are a Hidden Debt Moratorium

Updated sections:

Why does global debt keep growing, why does the world money supply keep expanding and why do we have negative interest rates?

Money is created by Governments. Money comes out of thin air, as the Central Bank creates money when it ‘buys’ TREASURIES/DEBT. New Fed money is always exchanged for debt. When the Federal Reserve writes a check, it is creating money."

Government use the Money to pay for its expenditures and tax their citizens in order to pay for the interest. Treasuries can be redeemed and by doing so the amount of money in circulation will decrease or more Treasuries/bonds can be issued and by doing so the amount of money in circulation will increase.

The so created money is used by Government to pay for its expenditures and end up as commercial bank deposits. As a result of fractional reserve banking, Commercial Banks can leverage the amount of money created by the Central bank and create even more money: Bank deposits and Bank Credit. Bank credit is a type of money that comes with an equal and offsetting amount of debt associated with it. Debt upon which interest must also be paid.

Negative interest rates is: Either Banks & Governments die, either You die. If Banks & Governments die, you may also die...

This is an exponential system by its very design. All dollars/euro's are backed by debt. Debt that pays interest. Therefore, each year enough new money must be loaned into existence to cover the interest payments on all of the past outstanding debt. Or each year all the outstanding debt must compound by at least the rate of the interest on that debt.

What happens when a money system that must continually expand, by its very design, runs into the physical limits?

Defaults are the Achilles heel of any debt-based money system. Without a continuous expansion of the money supply, past debts cannot be serviced, and defaults will possibly destroy the entire system.

Important is to understand that all DEBT has to be redeemed together with interest on debt and interest on interest and that INTEREST is an important factor. Interest is a multiplier factor and the lower the interest, the lower the multiplier. Negative Interest rates have a NEGATIVE multiplier factor. The question is whether negative interest rates will be able to STOP the compounded effect. Sure is they won't be able to reverse the process.

2015 Governments can not only create money but they are also rewarded for it.

If you - even for a split second - think that Authorities and Bankers have manipulated interest rates towards ZERO and made NEGATIVE for anything else then the battle for their own survival, you're extremely naive. Governments are heavily indebted and we all are aware that the situation is far worse and will get even worse over the coming years. Negative interest rates come extremely handy as the situation not only makes it cheaper to go into more debt but it also makes repayment of the existing debt lighter. As a matter of fact Negative interest rates are a hidden debt moratorium.

Negative Interest Rates extend the lifes of the Parasites, bloodsuckers but shortens the life of the SAVERS, Entrepreneurs, of the Wealth Generators. It's a loss...loss situation

The manipulation instruments are DERIVATIVES and FIAT MONEY. The actual monetary policy is probably the result of ECONOMETRICS and ALGORITHMS programmed in the computers of the Federal Reserve, ECB and Situation Room in Washington D.C. These Models and Matrixes probably also decide about the exchange rates of currencies, the price of Gold and Silver, the general level of Stock Markets and Commodities. As long as there is NO MAJOR ACCIDENT and/or HYPERINFLATION, Central Banks and Authorities have an almost unlimited instrument to do whatever they think should be done. The instruments are DERIVATIVES and FIAT MONEY. This allows Authorities to kick this gigantic and growing can down the road...for another week, month and maybe year.

This is all Bonds....Got Gold!?

Sovereign debt folding (Greece)
Ukraine sits in a dire financial situation
Provincial debt folding (Austria-Carinthia)
Territorial debt folding (Puerto Rico)
Municipal debt unraveling in the U.S.
Corporate debt in China (Baoding Tianwei Baobian Electric LTD)

Updated sections: Gold & Silver majors, Inflation-index ,

U.S. citizens can legally end their citizenship in a process known as expatriation, formally known as “renunciation.” You fill out a form. A State Department official subjects you to two interviews similar to those “retention specialists” who try to convince you not to cancel your cable contract. You settle accounts with the IRS, hand over your passport and leave. The next time you visit the U.S., you’ll need a visa (which in some cases, isn’t granted). In 2014, the State Department raised its fee for this process from $450 to $2,350, claiming the previous price didn’t fully capture the costs involved. But something funny happened. The number of citizens renouncing their citizenship more than tripled from the previous few reporting periods. That suggests that the intrinsic value of ceasing to be a U.S. citizen has skyrocketed, enough that people are willing to pay a lot more to do it. The real cost of expatriation, however, can be much higher than the State Department fee. What You’ll Pay

Uncle Sam will be sorry to see you go. So sorry, in fact, that he’ll want to keep a part of you for himself.

To renounce U.S. citizenship you must prove five years of U.S. tax compliance — all returns submitted and taxes paid.
But if you have a net worth greater than $2 million or average annual net income tax for the five previous years of $157,000 or more (that’s tax, not income), you’ll pay an exit tax. It’s levied at the prevailing capital gains rate, and calculated as if you sold your property the day before you cease to be a citizen, even if you don’t. (Fortunately, the first $680,000 of these theoretical “capital gains” is exempted from the exit tax.)
On top of the exit tax, anyone to whom you give or bequeath any of your U.S. assets must pay tax at the prevailing gift/estate tax rate (they were unified under the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.) You can take the annual gift/estate tax exclusion ($14,000 for 2015), but the lifetime federal estate and gift tax exemptions ($10.9 million) won’t apply.
Let’s say you want to give $100,000 to your U.S. citizen child at or after your expatriation. The kid would have to pay $34,400 of your gift in taxes to the IRS (($100,000 - $14,000) X .40). Normally, there wouldn’t be any tax at all unless you exceeded your lifetime limit, and even then, the tax would be less — and you’d pay it, not your child.

Get ready for the biggest margin call in history? All debt will soon or later have to be paid by the Economy, by producing Goods and Services. There is NO way around. If so, why does Government and their Vazals do exactly everything within their power to make this impossible!? Something needs to change so it becomes impossible for those Intelligent Psychopaths (are they intelligent or just plain stupid idiots...!?) to even dream about the Economy.

Tuesday April 21, 2015 - if the value of the trillions of dollars worth of assets that the Fed is holding happens to fall by just 1.3%, then the Fed will be bankrupt.

Flooding and water does a lot more harm to a house than hurricane-force winds. Most older constructions are located in sensitive flooding areas and most recent constructions in safe areas.

When one considers price-quality, South-Africa has the best Real Estate. The USA however comes second in rank!

Negative yielding Treasuries/Bonds are mainly bought by institutional investors (pension funds, insurance co's, banks,..) because they are LEGALLY forced to.The fact that we have zero/negative interest rates indicates we are living the END of the END. We don’t know what the ultimate consequences of near-zero interest rates will be, but we are pretty sure their impact will be amplified by increased leverage in the system and the dangerous mismatch between risky assets and their holders. This will lead to increased volatility in places we don’t expect and to the end of the financial system like it has been since 1971. Hard to forecast WHEN the system will collapse...but an accident can happen any day. Assuming the Authorities manage to keep it floating, HYPERINFLATION will have the final say. It is amazing that the Mainstream Media are reporting the fact we have zero and negative interest rates without any decent comment. They picture the event as something absolutely normal....

Knowing that the Interest Rates, Commodity prices, Bonds, Stock Markets and Derivatives are all rigged by the Authorities (Situation Room in D.C.) it amazes me every day that most Financial Advisors, Stock Market letters, etc.. continue to try to outsmart reality and fail to find and offer solutions on HOW TO PRESERVE SAVINGS.

What goes around, comes around and the problem of the MIGRANT crisis was created by the West. Politicians will as always just try to cure the symptoms...and forget about it tomorrow. Meddling of Western countries in the Middle East led to creation of the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS), an Islamist group that is currently gaining a massive following across the wider Middle East and Africa. Washington ceased to be “the only geopolitical actor” pushing developments in the Middle East (Assange). Many people know that arms are being transported to Syria, that there are attempts to reduce Iranian influence in postwar Iraq by supporting the Sunnis. But “what we don’t know is that in recent years Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey have increased their power and managed to gain certain independence form the US.” Also ISIS was initially created, trained and funded by the West (EU-USA) to destabilize the Middle-East and North-Africa. The situation in some parts of Nigeria, Somalia, Eritrea, Syria,...has become so bad that people prefer to flee and die...Therefore it is incorrect to blame Libya and those who help these emigrants and call these names (criminal gangs). I wonder if years ago the Mainstream Media would also have labelled those who helped Black Slaves to escape as"CRIMINALS"!?

Monday April 20, 2015 - When paper money dies, the gold payout will be spectacular

Updated sections: Coal & Solar , Agriculturals (maturing bottom) , Copper, Platinum ,

We are sitting on the BIGGEST BUBBLE ever. When this bubble bursts, so will everything we use, touch and live with: paper money, currencies, bank deposits, saving accounts, bonds, treasuries, life-insurances, pension funds, paper gold, paper silver, paper futures, Real Estate, DERIVATIVES and everything which is backed by it...

In an ultimate effort to keep their position, income alive, authorities will print whatever amount of requested money...and/or take it away at gunpoint from their citizens. This is how and why we soon are to experience Hyper-inflation.

Printing more money doesn't help
Lower interest rates don't help
Cheaper currencies don't do nothing
Cheaper energy does do nothing
Smart talking and lies don't help

The banking system is interconnected and very weak. “Look at what happened when the Swiss dropped their peg to the euro. That basically has tanked the Austrian banking system. The Austrian banking system is on the verge of collapse because they lent in Swiss Francs. Look at what happens with Greece. The problem is not Greece but the Deutsche Bank, Soc. Générale,..the top-EU-banks which in turn are the life-line of EU-Governments.

This is not only an American issue and it all must be financed by the Banks: If you present valued what we have promised to seniors in Medicare and Social Security and Medicaid payments, the federal debt right now under gap accounting would be $205 trillion, not 17 because we have a demographic boom, which is the other side of the baby boom.

Whatever happens, once the bubble bursts, the Herd will see the Emperor has no clothes, the Mirage will disappear, ...Gold & Silver will also disappear out of circulation (Gresham's law). Instead the market will be buried in worthless paper money, worthless digital money (bank digits),...Governments will try to seize whatever has value.

The falling trend of interest rates is the unrecognized symptom of the depression that is presently devastating the world economy but also the expression of the crave for survival of the Politicians and Bankers.

Greek landlords cannot even rent out commercial and residential properties at half the price they were renting it for 5 years ago...the properties simply stay empty. Real Estate will NOT protect you for the consequences of Hyper-Inflation nor Deflation. Real Estate is a High Order Capital Goods and price of these goods always fall during Hyper-inflationary depressions and recessions.

Updated sections:

The Russian currency’s upward trend has achieved a psychological victory Wednesday as the ruble traded at 49.90 against the US dollar on the Moscow exchange. This is the first time the currency, named the worst performer in 2014 and the best in 2015, went as high since November 28. On Tuesday the Russian currency closed at 50.89 against the US dollar on the Moscow Exchange. This indicates the Russian Economy benefits form the lower Ruble.

History Rhythms...In the 1930s, when global demand collapsed, countries fought for shares of a shrinking market by levying tariffs on imported goods. The US Smoot-Hawley Tariff imposed surcharges on over 20,000 imported goods to record levels. Enacted to protect domestic markets from foreign imports, the net effect, however, was to accelerate the collapse of international trade. As in 1929, international trade fell in 2009; but, this time, countries moved to protect markets not with tariffs but by debasing their currencies with excessive money printing, making their exports cheaper in foreign markets.

Thursday April 16, 2015 - The entire monetary system is nothing but legal theft !

Updated sections: Crude Oil, Oil shares ,

The entire monetary system is nothingbut legal theft! 95% of Economists, Journalists and Politicians don't know this. And if they know it will be the last thing they will ever tell.

The true definition of Inflation is an expansion of the money supply and rising prices are merely a consequense.

Most of our Taxes are NOT used to built schools, roads, public services....but to pay interest on Debt, on Bonds issued by Central Banks..FED, ECB, BoJ, BoE, IMF,.. Before the establishment of Central Banks (1913 for the FED) , there was no need for Fedral Income tax...

There is by definition always more debt in the system than there is money...so mathematically, the system will come to an end. Zero and negative interest rates are just telling us that this day is not s far off.

The entire monetary system is nothing but legalized theft.

Reality is that even by balancing the budget and paying off the debt (like Intelligent Psychopaths and some economists pretend)the problem cannot possibly be solved. Such is impossible in our actual financial system without destructing it.

Watergate was peanuts compared to what Nixon did to Money...

Conclusion: Nixon was a far greater crook than History understands.

There is NO solution possible. Those who stick to Currencies, Bonds, bank deposits will in the short future loose it ALL. This includes the shareholders of the Central Banks.
Hyperinflation we already have....it only is not that visible in rising prices yet
Hyperinflation will make the currencies and Treasuries and Deposits WORTHLESS

Wednesday April 15, 2015 - monetary hyperinflation will, at some stage, result in price hyperinflation. It’s only a matter of time.

Updated sections: Uranium-shares , Bank & Financials-shares ,

Every five years, the International Monetary Fund recalculates the "Special Drawing Rights," the SDR. . . The Chinese have been quite clear over the last five years that they want to be included in the SDR when the next rewriting comes, and the next recalculation is scheduled for September and October. Hence the last part of 2015 is without any doubt going to be turbulent. Not only China but also Russia will want to have their say about the new SDR.

If you measure inflation correctly, GDP (gross domestic product) has been negative since the downturn in December of 2007. It never recovered.

There is a $100 trillion bond market out there that has been priced by a handful of central bankers, not a planet teeming with exuberant savers. Americans don't understand how European institutions and governments can sell Government paper with a NEGATIVE YIELD. Few people know that in Europe LEGISLATION forces Insurance co's, Pension Funds and even Banks (Treasury) to allocate an important part of their assets in Government and/or Government guaranteed paper. IT's THE LAW !

The Western World is sinking deeper in a Depression because we have expensive energy and Authorities keep on rendering society more complex at a time when exactly the opposite should be done. As energy becomes rare, complexity increases because one assumes it can and it will solve the problem of scarce energy. What people don't understand is that this growing complexity requests even more energy....while less is available. This is why society is unable to voluntary reduce its energy consumption and simplify. History learns that only one Byzantine society had the insight to simplify. However this was done under extreme duress: the size of government was severely reduced and what was kept, had to be productive.

The stock market right now as a percentage of GDP is the highest it's been in the last hundred years of any other period except for nine months in 1999. When you look at the monetary policy we're running, it should be - it should be about where it is. So, I would say you have to be on alert to that ending badly. Especially those stocks and stock markets which are overbought should be monitored closely as we approach the end of the month of May. Having said this, I would advise to postpone any new purchases until the month October. Unless we have a distinct BREAKOUT. This doesn't apply to stocks and sectors which are in a process of bottoming out: Gold & Silver, Uranium,...

Updated sections: Oil Shares , Natural Gas shares ,

The banking system has been re-designed to create an unlimited wealth for some while taxiing the eternity out of the rest of us. It in fact creates an illusion of prosperity and happiness. This is critical to our economy because it foundation is built on consumption, credit an debt.

Take away the consumption, credit and debt an both the banks and government goes down the drain...

In order to continue to kick the can down the road., we need this illusion of truth coming from the mainstream media, celebrities and government. While independent thinkers continually blow holes in the versions of officials, the illusion of truth is so powerful that it takes a lot of personality and intelligence to see through the lie.

Never, ever invest in the present. It doesn't matter what a company's earning, what they have earned. Try to visualize the situation 18 months from now, and whatever that is, that's where the price will be, not where it is today. Too many people tend to look at the present, NOT good. You have to look to the future. If you invest in the present, you're going to get run over.

NEMEA bank a DANGEROUS game....Malta smells like Cyprus and Iceland smelled before their meltdown. Having said this, Banks and Bankers cannot and may not be trusted anyhow. You have to be nuts to lock in savings for more than one year with the hope to get out at a profit. Especially when we're talking about Euro's.

This is an alarm sounding for all (life) insurance – TAK21 & TAK23 and pension fund holders. The government of Mexico just sold 100-year bonds denominated in EUROS. Also the first ever of its kind. First, Switzerland became the first to issue 10-year government bonds with a negative yield. Who's dumb enough to buy this stuff—10-year debt at negative yields and 100-year debt in a doomed currency? Institutional investors, of course—large pension funds and the like. You might look at news like that and think, well, that's crazy, I'd never do that. But the fact is, it's being done with YOUR MONEY.

Default in Ukraine 'virtual certainty'. Standard & Poor’s has downgraded Ukraine’s long-term foreign currency rating to CC, a notch lower than the previous CCC level. The downgrade reflects that a default on Ukraine’s foreign-currency debt is a "a virtual certainty," the ratings agency said. The ratings agency has said that the outlook remains negative. Ukraine’s total debt is estimated at $50 billion, and it has to service about $10 billion of that debt this year, including corporate and sovereign loans and bonds. Expect this to add downward pressure on the Euro.

Legally speaking a GREXIT is just impossible. Yanis has a full hand and Greece can stretch the negotiations with the EU for a very long time. Expect this to add additional downward pressure on the Euro. Intelligent Psychopaths who founded the EU were so convinced their ideas could be enforced that they did not even care to consider that one day a country or its people would decide to leave something which I call collective madness.

Shell points the way. Oil markets are bottoming out. The major news of the week was the mega-merger between Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS.A) and BG Group (LON: BG). The $70 billion price tag of BG Group made the purchase the largest in over a decade. Why did Shell decide to pay such a steep price for BG? The deal will make the combined company the largest producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the world. The move is a shot across the bow for the other oil majors as Shell is going all-in on the future of LNG as a vital source of energy, particularly for the fast growing economies in Asia. The purchase of BG is also a reminder that the oil majors are really oil and natural gas majors. BG will give Shell major LNG positions in Australia, and to a lesser extent in East Africa. By 2018, Shell will have twice the liquefaction capacity as ExxonMobil

Latin America wants to remove US military bases (Rome keeps falling apart). Leaders from the United States, Canada and Latin America are gathering April 10-11 at the 7th Summit of the Americas to be held in Panama City, Panama, to talk about a variety of issues affecting the Western Hemisphere, including Cuba's relationship with the United States as both countries thaw out of a decades-long diplomatic freeze. Another controversial subject some of the member countries want to take up is asking the US government to close all military bases in Latin America. The bases are no longer relevant and should go.

Whatever the Bankers do (like issuing worthless T-bills in Greece, negative nominal interest rates, rigging financial markets ), we don't see no reaction of the HERD....and as long as the Herd doesn't understand that it is being "taken" , it will continue to "believe" in the system.

Thursday April 9, 2015 - Patience is bitter but the fruit is sweet !

Updated sections:

Low and negative interest rates are cooking the average investor like a frog. Low inflation, bond yields and interest rates around the world will push the boundaries of economic and political stability to breaking point if they continue on their downward trajectory, the Bank for International Settlements has warned. The "sinking trend" of global rates would push countries further into uncharted territory. It highlighted that $2.4 trillion (£1.6 trillion) of long-term global sovereign debt was now trading at negative yields, with an increasing number of investors willing to pay governments for the privilege of lending to them. As bond markets show us since 2011, the boundaries of the unthinkable are exceptionally elastic. Some day however, the elastric will break with a snap...the repercussions are bound to be significant.

In the last four months, some of Greece's largest banks, including Piraeus, Alpha and Eurobank — have self-issued more than 13 billion euros' worth, or $14.3 billion, of government-guaranteed bonds. These short-term bonds, which have been issued by the country's largest banks and carry the guarantee of the Greek government, are not being sold to foreign investors. They are being issued to the only entity that would dare buy them: themselves. Banks issue billions of euros of short-term bonds, which — because they carry the guarantee of the Greek government — can be used as collateral to secure much-needed cash from the European Central Bank. As long as the bank's problem is access to short-term funds and not solvency, such machinations can work...more

The bulk of the Investors is living in LALA-land. The same country the ECB, FED, BoJ, BoE,..are living in. With ZERO and NEGATIVE interest rates they are building the Second biggest bubble ever (the biggest is the one of fiat money-bonds).

When Savers and Entrepreneurs are punished and unproductive people, politicians, government officials are getting all the goodies, Society ALWAYS drowns....

Tuesday April 7, 2015 - Golden eggs for wise investors!

Updated sections: $-Gold , Silver , US-Dollar, €-Gold & €/$ , Aussie-Gold & Aussie/$/€  , Swiss-Gold & FS/$/€ ,

Not a recovery but more Depression sits right around the corner. BS we have all over: Government, Mainstream Media, most of the specialized financial press,...actually, we soaking in it! This marvelous "recovery" in the United States just got a butt-end in the forehead with Good Friday's employment report and just to add an elbow to the temple for good measure, the BLS issued downward revisions to the phony numbers of the past three months.

The main reason why many investors/savers loose money is because they are short sighted and are too much after short term profits. This Gold-bottom lasted for much longer than we expected it would...and there is actually NO WAY to predict how long a correction takes before a correction-bottom matures and we have a fresh upleg...like is happening now for Gold. Once aboard, one has to stay aboard. Those who jump out halfway are normally far worse off.

Monday April 6, 2015 - All Bankers have become Government employees...

Updated sections: $-Gold , Silver ,

The situation in Greece will climax as soon as today (April 9) and no later than this summer.

old drachma Greece is drawing up drastic plans to nationalize the country's banking system and introduce a parallel currency to pay bills unless the eurozone takes steps to defuse the simmering crisis and soften its demands. The ruling Syriza party said the government is determined to keep public services running and pay pensions as funds run critically low. It may be forced to take the unprecedented step of missing a payment to the International Monetary Fund next week.

We are a Left-wing government. If we have to choose between a default to the IMF or a default to our own people, it is a no-brainer.

“We will shut down the banks and nationalize them, and then issue IOUs if we have to, and we all know what this means. What we will not do is become a protectorate of the EU,” said one source. It is well understood in Athens such action is tantamount to a return to the drachma.

Going into arrears at the IMF – even for a few days – is an extremely risky strategy. No developed country has ever defaulted to the Bretton Woods institutions. While there would be a grace period of six weeks before the IMF board declared Greece to be in technical default, the process could spin out of control at various stages. A “critical sequence of events could unfold” once Greece misses a payment to the IMF. It would trigger a parallel default to the eurozone bail-out fund (EFSF) under the legal master agreement, and might force the EFSF to cancel its loan packages and demand immediate repayment. This in turn would trigger a default on Greek government bonds issued under the bail-out accord.

Note:

The bulk of the Greek financial obligations are due this coming summer. At that time or earlier I expect to see the end of the Euro/Dollar backtest .
Hopefully you understand that those (Greek savers) holding Gold will be the only ones preserving their savings. Anything else – and this includes Real Estate – will go down the drain...
A Grexit is the best that can happen to Greece. It will be a kick-start of a new economic boom and recovery for Greece and the beginning of HELL for the European Intelligent Psychopaths (politicians).

World stock markets listen to the tunes of Fiat Money creation (printing).

There is NO WAY we shall see lower stock markets (except for relatively short corrections) as long as the Bank of Japan, ECB, FED, Bank of England, etc...keep printing money.
There is NO WAY we shall see or have prolonged Deflation and price-deflation as long as the same institutions keep printing money.
Authorities and Bankers (Bankers have become Government employees) have no choice: either kick the can down the street and survive as long as possible OR let the financial system go bankrupt and commit suicide.
This incestuous game ALWAYS end with HYPER-INFLATION and Stock markets ALWAYS go up during Hyper-inflations.
Your # 1 enemy during Hyper-Inflationary Depressions is the TAX MAN (Authorities). Today even more than ever.

Are you SDH - Stupid Democratic Herd - or an intelligent, planning, Investor?

Friday April 3, 2015 - Market activity today will be very low....keep your eggs in one basket only but watch it closely !

This insane, suicidal explosion in the U.S. monetary base does not suggest that the U.S. will face hyperinflation (of the U.S. dollar) in some relatively near-term horizon; it guarantees it.

Thursday April 2, 2015 - Ten benefits of a Panama corporation & don't forget that the day comes you will have to sell your physical gold in an hostile environment

Updated sections:

A Panama corporation is the ideal legal entity to conduct business in Panama and abroad. Here are ten benefits a Panama corporation offers:

Asset Protection: A Panama corporation provides complete asset protection where one or more corporations can serve as a holding for one's assets. "Asset protection" refers to the ability to shift ownership of all valuable properties to anonymous legal entities while allowing the original owner to maintain control of them. "Valuable properties" refers to real estate, bank accounts, securities, jewelry, precious metals, vehicles, and other valuable physical objects.
No Taxes: Panama is a "tax haven" where any profits earned outside of Panama are not taxed by the government. Panama is doing extremely well thanks to the idiot leaders in Venezuela, Argentina, the USA, Canada and Europe which are taxing their citizens to death in an ultimate effort to survive. Even after 2018 it doesn't plan to play this vicious banking and fiscal exchange game.
Estate Planning: One can avoid expensive and time-consuming Probate by placing ownership of all assets into one or more Panama corporations. A Panama Private Interest Foundation may serve as a holding entity for shares of one or more Panama corporations, eliminating the need for a living will as the appointed beneficiaries of the Foundation take over control of the Foundation's assets upon the death of its Protector.
Lawsuit Protection: Panama corporations owning all assets provide Lawsuit Protection. No one wants to go through the expense and time to sue someone who owns nothing. This is known amongst lawyers as being "Judgment Proof."
Anonymous Ownership: Panama laws allow for total secrecy and privacy regarding ownership of their corporations and foundations.
No Business Licenses: A Panama Corporation can conduct business exclusively outside of Panama without needing a business license in Panama. Many Panama corporations sell products and services online around the world, for example trading goods between other countries.
Inexpensive: Setting up a Panama corporation involves low government annual renewal fees and taxes. Lawyer's fees are affordable and plain cheap compared to what is charged in North-America and Europe.
Convenient: Some law firms offer "shelf" corporations or you can take over a corporation founded in for example 1999. A new corporation can be set up in as little as two weeks, and we can set them up for foreigners without having to visit Panama.
Communication: in English, Dutch, French or German and Spanish and all important documentation is translated in English.
One contact does it all: no need to talk to several lawyers and/or bankers out of different countries. International legal and banking matters request the expertise of somebody with international experience in these fields. And this is exactly what you get.

Updated Sections:

It is Americans, NATO and Israel who are funding (and training) the Al Qaeda Terrorists...because they want to CONTROL the Oil flow ($-business). The video clip also shows the terrible damage PROPAGANDA and the liquidation of Khadaffi and Saddam Hussein (just to name two) has caused to the Middle-East picture.

The Greek problem is maybe drifting out of the attention of the media but the problems are still not solved and the situation is getting worse and may get out of hand any time (soon!?). This will severely impact the EU-zone, the Euro and the European banks (Deutsche Bank, Soc. Generale, ABN-Amro,....just to name some).
