Look at gold, silver and oil today.

Folks the latest news do not sound very positive. My question now - I'm starting to be a bit concerned - what could be the worst case globally?

I have to laugh almost every morning at the 8:30 plunge (short sell) of gold. You could almost set your clock by it.
"Oh noooo, we wouldn't manipulate the gold price"
With China driving down the derivatives late last month I full expect when options contracts come in at the end of the month China is going to not roll them over but cash in. I have to wonder if they will cause a default since the Comex inventory is way over extended in the paper market.


Whoever thought it was a good idea to allow bullion banks to buy and sell things they other people own by putting up 1% was a good idea should be hung.

A major power ignoring borders is a dangerous precedent for sure.

A powerful one worlder like FDR would say in private 'Russia deserves a warm water port.' As a matter of fact one of those guys said that, either FDR or Truman et al, back then when the world was being rearranged. With 'the USSR' instead of 'Russia'. And no I don't remember exactly obviously, so I'm an open target

To heck if I know what to do. We'll have to trust our fearless leaders.

Miss Merkel did not want this regime change. She wanted a negotiated
settlement.

However the hot heads in our government and the Svoboda followers
derailed such a discussion.

The first thing the new Ukraine government did was to delegitimize the
Russian language.
