        One of the comments Dave through out on Saturday was that he could come up with ten times that I have been 100% wrong. OK Dave, put up or shut up because I don’t believe you can.

        To say that there is only one reason to buy gold or anything else is because it is cheap sounds pretty foolish to me. And to reject fear as a perfectly valid reason to buy, just as foolish.

        I buy insurance on my house because I fear it burning down. I buy insurance on my car because I fear people running into me. I buy gold and silver because I fear a total financial collapse. It certainly seems to me that seeing gold as an insurance policy is one of the several perfectly valid reasons for buying gold.

        And for those who would like to believe I solely sell fear, I was the one of the first telling to buy gold and silver in 2001 because it was cheap. But for those who didn’t buy then, I did mention a number of times that gold and silver got expensive in comparison to everything and nailed the top in silver in 2011. I’d far rather see poeple buying gold and silver when they are cheap but even when they aren’t, they are still perfectly valid as an insurance policy against chaos.

        Those who follow the Zionist party line naturally want to disagree with everything I say but fear is sometimes a very good emotion. There are things we should fear.

          HI Bob,

          Please direct me to your commentary in question. I don’t see where you commented this past weekend here. Personally, I think you have things pretty well figured out, and I really appreciate your commentary.

            Mar 09, 2015 09:23 PM

            it’s about 80% of the way down on the Weekend commentary. I disagreed with Al saying Israel doesn’t steal land when we all know they clearly do.

            I dislike being totally misunderstood. My comment related to the origination of Israel.

            No point in getting into an argument on this as I am not the kind of person who argues with everyone who does not agree. I agree with Rick Ackerman, Bob, let’s just agree to disagree and let it go at that.

            Okay with you?

            Mar 09, 2015 09:15 PM

            The issue of land is an ongoing issue certainly. I don’t think a 2 state solution is any longer possible and a 1 state solution impossible. So what happens to the people who have lived there for 5000 years?

            I didn’t see any indication where you were talking about the origination of Israel. Do you agree with every state in the world except one saying the 500,000 settlers in the occupied territories are there illegally?

            I’m really confused now. What are you being completely misunderstood about?

      Lot of predictions out there, Professor!

      Mar 10, 2015 10:27 AM

      It appears that most of Bob’s sources and links that he posts on this blog site about Israel are the same that are used by white supremacists. I believe many of which are written by the same group. His insidious propaganda network paints a hatred toward Israel and it’s not because he likes Arabs . This man is my opinion is using your site to spread his racist hatred. All you have to do is mention Israel and this nut job is sure to come out of the woodwork. Apparently bb has become his little grasshopper.

        Mar 10, 2015 10:42 AM

        Anyone who is critical of Israel immediately brings out the trolls determined to shut down every mention of Israel that does not spread the Zionist party line. The Middle East is a festering sore that could easily start WW III yet you are not allowed to discuss the very causes of the problem.

        Israel even has a government sponsored bureau that teaches people how to be trolls and sends them to every chat board on the web.

        Telling facts about Israel is not spreading hatred. You don’t have any comments on Liberman calling for Arabs to be beheaded so don’t even preach your own brand of hatred to me.

          Mar 10, 2015 10:54 AM

          but you are not telling facts. I believe already caught you in several blatant lies and you had no defense you just changed subjects.

          Here’s is an excerpt from this article that is very telling about you.http://www.24hgold.com/english/contributor.aspx?article=1775690020G10020&contributor=James+Howard+Kunstler
          I work in the Mining Industry — I know of his [Bob Moriarty’s] websites. This is not new. Mr. Moriarity has for years provided links to anti-semitic, anti-Israel commentary. And, everytime there is flare up in Israel — he spews even more rubbish. I have sent his comments to many people and company’s in the Mining World, to boycott his site — as many mining company’s advertising on his site probably are unaware they are supporting a racist. Mr. Moriarity is entitled to his opinion on the Middle East, but when he inserts racists lies against Jews (IE. the Khazar lie) he loses any moral ground. In fact, a person I know — Jewish — and in the mining business informed him a couple years ago, that they will no longer advertise on his site due to his racist views. Mr. Moriarity responded by emailing a Jewish Contributor to his site, telling him his commentaries will no longer be on his 321sites. No reason given –Just a Jew fires me — I will fire Jew — mentality of Mr. Moriarity. Mr. Moriarity, like many in the anti-Israel/Peace movement has exposed his real reason for hating Israel –They Hate Jews.

            Mar 10, 2015 10:13 AM

            JHK would no doubt support Liberman. He hates Arabs and Palestinians.

            If you had ever caught me in a lie, you would post it. You haven’t and you haven’t You allege I am not telling facts but you never say where I didn’t say facts. If you have facts, post them. I do.

            You are a troll. Spread your hatred elsewhere.

        Mar 09, 2015 09:49 PM

        Actually the big bang, as termed by Armstrong, is the start of the collapse in sovereign debt which will spread like contagion. Depending on what transpires between noiw and October 1, the stock market could have a fake out correction after October 1, then he expects stocks to rise in US as capital flows into US and shifts from bonds to stocks. Obviously, this is all according to him, not me.

          Mar 09, 2015 09:54 PM

          Derek……..noiw……….bird is going to get on you for not using spell check…….lol

          Mar 10, 2015 10:32 AM

          Correct Derek. Based on my own understanding of what transpired in the Great Depression I think Armstrong’s premise is sound. To me it is pretty interesting he can come to those conclusions based on an 8.6 year cycle rather than strictly a fundamental analysis.

          His results confirm my own thinking on a lot of levels, particularly debt and the rate cycle I often discuss. The ONLY thing preventing the conclusion of the bond bubble is that we have gone into negative rates and in theory if the Central Banks could hold those or go lower yet without inflicting too much discord then the inevitable could be postponed beyond this year.

          In my opinion though it will only exacerbate and magnify the final reckoning. At this point it appears that Germany is intent on seeing Greece default so it may be that they are trying to force the reconciliation that must come and can conveniently have a scapegoat to put the blame on.

          Who really knows what is in their minds. We should not be deluded in thinking that they are unaware of the debt cycle though nor that they don’t understand economic calamity flows once peak credit (peak debt) has been reached.

          We are there now.

          And so I believe we are very close to the terminal end of interventions and a crisis of liquidity is just a matter of time whether that begins in Greece or it starts with the failure of a key financial institution such as we just witnessed in Austria. European QE may give us another year to prepare but that is about all.

          But I am not concerned. None of us need be too worried because this is quite a natural part of the business cycle and should be expected. Martin by the way has repeatedly stated that the last Great Depression actually had very little to do with the stock market crash which is what most focus on.

          He has correctly identified the real culprit at that time and the series of events that were behind bringing us to war was the Sovereign Debt Crisis that began to unfold in 1928. I concur without hesitation because that supports all I have learned and read from that time in history when more than 30 countries defaulted.

          It was in fact the failure of so many states to meet their debt obligations that plunged much of the globe into a depression and set up the circumstances for the wars that followed. Anyone curious should probably read one of the many economic based works that were written during that period. Martin himself has recommended Herbert Hoovers Memoirs of the Great Depression 1929 through to 1941.

          Let me second that enthusiastically. If you want insights into what is happening to us now then read that book. It is free online. And do it now as time is short. Only 512 pages…you smart guys and the scholars in this group will gobble it up in a day.

    I think one of the benefits I get from here is hearing others state that they feel in the same position as myself currently – a kind of stagnation waiting for something to happen.

    It is a powerless feeling but there seems to be no where ‘safe’ to invest in at the moment – metals look to be heading down, the conventional markets may go higher but how much higher can they go until we get a sizeable correction.

    It is frustrating feeling that being in cash is the best option… but it is somehwat mitigated by hearing others on here say the same things. If that makes any sense?

        I agree Bob. Don’t forget to put some of that cash in your mattress either because it is already coming into shortage due to hoarding. Physical cash is a no-brainer where protecting yourself and your family is concerned. The one thing you don’t want is to run out of money the day the bail-ins begin and the ATM’s go offline.

      Personally, it doesn’t bother me. Not at all.
      To be clear, I’m not 100% cash, but I have plenty of as a %age of the portfolio, and I feel totally fine with it.

      As a somewhat related anecdote, last year, I waited for Black Friday to make some Xmas purchase. I waited 3 mth for that (the idea of waiting for Black Friday occurred to me in August). I got something at least than 1/2 of the normal price.
      Bottom line is the same: being long cash was worth the wait 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Interesting dialogue.

    I’m amazed that no one out here, in the press or even the TV pundits (political or financial) ever talk about Barclay’s rigging of the FOREX market and the fines that followed. ….And yet again, no one goes to jail.

    But what really boggles the mind is Good ole Jeb, the Jeb Bush (R) of the Bush Dynasty, former Governor of Florida, resigned as and adviser to Barclays shortly after the foreign exchange rates hit the fan and shortly before become very public about running for president. More to the point, he was there and in on it during the illegal rigging and then went presto and poof and disappeared when someone pulled back the curtain.

    Thus it is that whenever my grandchildren can’t sleep because something went bump in the night, I just tell them not to worry, it’s just another elected politician cashing in under the cover of darkness hoping that no one will see.

      And just to be clear, what I mean by “nothing surprising to me” is that I pay as much attention to WGC data when it comes to gold than I do to official GDP, unemployment or inflation figures for so many countries (US, China, Japan, large EU countries… you name it). Which means: ZERO as I believe all these stats are heavily made up/engineered.

      What matters to me though, is how the market views those data sets, and also what it expects. In other terms, I care more about the market participants’ expectations and NARRATIVE about the data than the data themselves. And more critically, I try to find what could trigger an inflection point in the narrative.

    Martin Armstrong and everyone else who doesn’t understand gold should pay attention to the simple words of Rick Rule.

    ANV has declared bankruptcy. This seems to be a high profile company. A lot of people own it.

        Franky, be careful. A lot of gold companies are black hole. You get sucked in but never get out. I had one which goes to 0.005

      On September 19, 2014 Vortex says:

      Be very careful with Allied Nevada (ANV). I’m sure you already know that they have a boatload of debt issues to deal with in short order. But with that 20 Million oz gold equivalent resource it very hard to not take a position. With the gold price faltering for any extended period of time could be a death blow, or require an asset sale.

      Good call Vortex!

        Vortex was right. I read their financial and lost interest right away. Bright burning candle burns out quickly.
