I brought to this forum the observation that Marijuana related stocks were dramatically rising. Setting aside potential ethical problems, because there are good medical reasons indicative for marijuana use, I was perplexed that stocks could jump hundreds of percent over relatively short times.
I believe finally the answer lies in a following post.
Big Money (Namely George Soros) has gotten involved.

The funny thing is……
(Actually it id not funny ha-ha, unless you have a sick sense of humor)
Recent tests on pigs in Europe fed with Monsanto GMO soy beans as a primary fattening diet, shows increasing evidence that Monsanto’s product may cause consumers of GMO modified Round-up safe crops to become sterile.
Since Marijuana use has demonstrated as causing libido reduction, Monsanto may really be the last straw.
The Meunze Oesterreich is working 24 hours a day to produce enough coins for high German demand, but has not reported numbers as yet.
Australia’s Perth Mint, which refines most of the bullion from the world’s second-biggest producer, joined the U.S. Mint in reporting gold demand climbed in January. Sales of coins and the increasingly popular minted gold bars at the Perth Mint increased 10% to 64,818 ounces last month from 58,944 ounces in December. The mint sold 912,388 ounces of silver compared with 845,941 ounces in December, it said.
Sales of gold coins by the U.S. Mint rose 63% in January to the highest since April 2013. Sales climbed to 91,500 ounces from 56,000 ounces in December, while sales of silver coins almost tripled to 4.78 million ounces, the highest in a year, the data showed.
Part of the reason for the surge in demand is due to dealers restocking inventories and due to collector demand for the newly minted 2014 coins.
Argentina’s gigantic rise in interest rates has not helped much:
Argentina has lost 2 billion dollars in a two week period and now the burn rate is slightly over 4 billion per month. The foreign reserves (almost all USA) is now 28 billion dollars of which included in the figure is 61.74 tonnes of gold (2.461 billion usa dollars).
You will should remember that the Paris club got angry at Nestor Kirchner (then President of Argentina) who in 2002 decided to purchase 55 tonnes of gold instead of repaying its debt after defaulting.
There are two bills pending in Congress that would legalize hemp; they are House Resolution 525, the “Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2013,” and the companion legislation, Senate Bill 359.
The 10 states that have already passed laws allowing hemp production are California, Colorado, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia, and the vote comes as even more states are showing an interest in hemp. Hemp bills have been introduced in 11 states this year, including Hawaii, Indiana, Nebraska, New Jersey (carried over from 2013), New York, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington (two bills were carried over from 2013) West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Unbelievable!

Well, actually, and sadly, it is believable.
And it’s one reason why unlimited indiscriminate immigration will destroy this country, as it is doing so in Europe.

he apparent suicide death of the chief economist of a US investment house brings the number of financial workers who have died allegedly by their own hand to four in the last week.
50-year-old Mike Dueker, who had worked for Russell Investment for five years, was found dead close to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington State, says AP.
Local police say he could have jumped over a fence and fallen 15 meters to his death, and are treating the case as a suicide.
Dueker was reported missing by friends on January 29, and police had been searching for him.
A Sheriff’s spokesman said investigators learned that he was having problems at work but did not elaborate.
Jennifer Tice, a company spokeswoman declined to comment, however said, that Dueker was in good standing at Russell.
“We were deeply saddened to learn today of the death,” Tice said in an e-mail on Friday. “He made a valuable contributions that helped our clients and many of his fellow associates.”
Dueker joined Russell Investment in 2008. He wrote for Market Outlook financial services publications, forecasting the business cycle and the target federal funds rate. He is the creator and developer of a business cycle index that forecast economic performance published monthly on the Russell website.
He was previously an assistant vice president and research economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and is ranked in the top 5 percent of published economists.
Over the past two decades he wrote tens of research papers mostly on monetary policy, according to the bank’s website.
His most-cited paper was “Strengthening the case for the yield curve as a predictor of U.S. recessions,” published in 1997 while he was a researcher at the Federal Reserve.
“He was a valued colleague of mine during my entire tenure at the St. Louis Fed,” said William Poole, the bank’s ex-president. “Everyone respected his professional skills and good sense.”
Dueker held an undergraduate degree in math from the University of Oregon, a master’s degree in economics from Northwestern University and a Ph.D. from the University of Washington.
Streak of bankers’ deaths
Dueker’s apparent suicide was the fourth among financial experts in a week.
A 58-year-old former senior executive at Deutsche Bank AG, William Broeksmit, was found dead on January 26 in his home after an apparent suicide in South Kensington in central London.
The next day, January 27, Tata Motors managing director Karl Slym, 51, was found dead on the fourth floor of the Shangri-La hotel in Bangkok. Police said he could have committed suicide. Mr. Slym was staying on a 22th floor with his wife, and was attending a board meeting in the Thai capital.
Another tragic incident occurred on January 28, when a 39-year-old Gabriel Magee, a JP Morgan employee, died after falling from the roof of its European headquarters in London.

While creating fortunes, City and Wall Street jobs are notorious for extra-long working weeks and huge amounts of stress. In a move to ease the tension some of the world’s biggest lenders like Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Credit Suisse have been telling junior staff to take more time off.
Some European countries like Belgium and the Netherlands have reduced the working week from 40 to 30 hours without damaging their economies, while in Germany an average worker puts in 35 hours a week and is the world’s fourth largest economy.

Italy is getting close to defaulting.

although Spain also close.
The interesting thing is that of those european countries, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece, most likely to have problems it is Italy that has the largest Gold reserve. It is probable that if the BIS comes to Italy’s rescue, then the gold reserve will be taken and used to further suppress the gold price.
What is going on here?
