MAY'18 (public)

The coming hyperinflation will start slowly and few people will realize what is coming.

Thursday May 31, 2018 - Italy is in deep trouble but European banks are in even deeper trouble.

Updated Sections: £-Gold & £/$/€, R-Gold & R/$/€, Kr-Gold & Kr/$/€, Yuan-Gold & Yuan/$/€, Rupee-Gold & Rupee/$/€,

European banks are in trouble for several reasons. There is one problem for the euro that quietly keeps growing: the unresolved banking crisis. And this is not a small problem. In January 2018 the euro banks´ balance sheets totaled €30 trillion ...or about 291 % of GDP.

Banking regulation has become tighter and as a consequence regulatory and compliance costs have rise substantially. Today banks have to fulfill demands by national authorities, the European Banking Authority, the Single Supervisory Mechanism, the European Securities and Markets Authority and the national central banks. Being at a staggering 4% of total revenue currently, compliance costs are expected to rise to 10% of total revenue until 2022.

Second, there is something fishy in European banks´assets and such can quickly be detected when comparing banks market capitalization with their book value. Most European banks have price-to-book ratios below ONE. Commerzbank´s ratio is 0.49, Deutsche Bank´s is 0.36, Italian UniCredit´s is 0.23. Bank assets are too optimistically valued in the eyes of market participants...and any down valuation of assets would quickly evaporate equity. [add to this the billions of Bank Manufactured Financial Products like ETF's and DERIVATIVES]

Stocks and bond prices have spiked due to the monetary policy of the ECB (artificial low interest rates) , thereby leading to accounting profits for banks. Monetary policy has, thereby, artificially propped up banking profits during the last years...but as soon as the Stock and Bond markets start to deflate, these artificial profits will evaporate. Add to this that, according to the ECB non-performing loans (loans where borrowers have fallen behind in their payments), amount to €759 bn., or 30% of the banks´ equity.

Artificial low interest are keeping lot's of ZOMBIE co's alive. Every year thanks to the ECB´s zero interest rate policy 10,000s of bankruptcies are postponed. Once interest rates increase rapidly these zombie companies will come to the roost and insolvency rates will spike leading to more problems for banks. The zero interest rate policy of the ECB has cannibalized traditional bank profitability. The FLAT YIELD CURVE (zero difference between short and long term interest) takes away any profit Banks used to make by Lending out short term deposits.

In Europe, Banks, Insurance co's and Pension funds are by LAW obliged to invest a sizeable part of their assets in Government Debt. As of January 2018, Eurozone banks held €3.536 bn. Government debt on their books which amounts to 13% of their balance sheet total. When in the next recession, and because of the sovereign debt crisis banks can expect HUGE losses on their sovereign debt portfolio.

When interest rates increase in the future banks will be confronted with several difficulties and losses. As a result of these losses, banks will be forced to restrict credits as their equity shrinks. Ironically, the ECB´s zero interest rate policy designed to promote credit expansion will finally lead to a credit contraction...more in the Subscriber's sections

We are living the end of Democracy in Italy...the happenings in and around Italy proofs the DIRE state the EU is in! Italy's anti-establishment parties have abandoned plans to form a coalition government after the country's president refused to accept a controversial choice for economy minister, raising the possibility of snap polls. Investors fear the election will resemble a referendum on the EU and the euro, posing an existential threat for the bloc. That sparked the currency to slip below the $1.16 level, while the gap between Italian and German 10-year bond yields widened to its highest in over four years, putting pressure on banks and stocks across the region. [a IMF-petty-government-official was appointed instead]

"In Italy, there is a problem of democracy. In this country, you can be a convicted criminal, convicted for tax fraud, under investigation for corruption and be a minister... but if you criticize Europe, you cannot be the Minister of the Economy in Italy." — M5S leader Luigi Di Maio.

We re living the Golden Age of FAKE NEWS and market Manipulations...and markets driven by EMOTIONS are extremely dangerous.

The World has become a MAD-HOUSE. Only 25 years ago Government pushed people to by DIESEL-automobiles because they were GREEN. Today the same Diesel-Automobiles are banned out of cities because they are NOT GREEN!? Only 25 years ago one had to STOP using PAPER bags and paper materials because it was Nature Unfriendly as too many trees had to be cut to manufacture the pulp and paper. In the following years PAPER was successfully replaced by PLASTIC products. Today Governments want to STOP the use of Plastic products because the pollute and are nature unfriendly!? ....All these years, The People haven't learned NOTHING: being clean and cleanup and making sure they leave no mess/dirt behind would have solved the problem!

Russia Finance Minister: We Are Ready To Ditch The Dollar In Favor Of The Euro. Overnight Russian aluminum giant Rusal announced that its chief executive, A. Buriko, and half of its managerial board resigned to make sure the firm avoids U.S. sanctions against its founder, billionaire oligarch, Deripaska. The mass resignations were part of “the efforts that have been made by the management of the group to protect the interests of the company and its shareholders” since the sanctions were imposed last month. Buriko resigned after the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control announced new punitive measures against Russia in early April in response to Russia’s “malign” activities around the world. The latest round of sanctions primarily targeted Russian oligarchs close to President Vladimir Putin, especially Deripaska prompting Rusal shares to tumble while the price of aluminum soared.

Tuesday May 29, 2018 - Puerto Rico Be the Next Hot Tax Haven? A loophole may make it a good place for foreigners to keep cash.

Puerto Rico Be the Next Hot Tax Haven? A loophole may make it a good place for foreigners to keep cash. Some 65,000 Puerto Ricans left their bankrupt U.S. island commonwealth last year. A group of private bankers are moving the other way. They’re increasingly opening offshore banks known as International Financial Entities, which were created by a Puerto Rican law in 2012. There are 44 IFEs now, with 18 opening in the past year, according to data compiled by the U.S. territory’s financial regulator. It lets non-U.S. account holders put money in Puerto Rico anonymously and potentially avoid taxes at home even as they benefit from the stability and safety of the U.S. That’s become increasingly attractive because of a new global financial-disclosure system whick took effect in September 2017.

Previously, they mainly shared information on request, making it harder to identify suspect accounts. Much like the U.S.’s Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, which requires foreign banks to report on Americans with accounts, the CRS initiative is meant to combat the use of offshore bank accounts to evade taxes. The loophole arises from quirks in various international disclosure agreements. First, the IFEs aren’t subject to the CRS reporting process because the U.S. hasn’t signed on to it, opting to stick with its 113 separate bilateral agreements. But the IFEs don’t have to comply with these because Puerto Rico, like all U.S. territories, is excluded from those deals. Puerto Rico provides substantial confidentiality protection for foreign individual investors, according international tax law.

Want to open an account with a bank in Puerto Rico, contact us..whe know how and where...In the past year, 18 offshore banks opened in Puerto Rico, which falls between the cracks of some international financial disclosure agreements.

Want to open a bank in Puerto Rico, contact us..we know how! The biggest hurdle to setting up an IFE is establishing correspondent relationships with other banks, which IFEs need in order to send or receive money from around the world. Many global banks are wary about working with financial institutions in a region perceived as carrying regulatory and money laundering risks. Otherwise the requirements aren’t arduous: paid-in capital of $250,000 and an office in Puerto Rico with at least four employees...more in the Subscriber's sections

FREEDOM OF SPEECH in the EU ENDS TODAY...

There are 51 million American households that cannot make ends meet. This means that 43% of American households can’t afford a basic middle class life. Of these, 35 million are dubbed ALICE which stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed with a further 16 million households living in poverty…In the world’s biggest and “richest” country, just under 50% of the households are struggling to afford a basic middle class life and that 50 million people live in poverty.

There are 95 million Americans capable of working who are not in the labour force. Today, 66% of Americans earn less than $20 per hour. Since 1/3 of Americans have less than $5,000 in savings, they have nothing to fall back on when they lose their jobs and hit hard times...this is Alice in Horror-land.

Americans live in a fantasy world about their Great Country, their Great Economy, their Great Military System that ensures them Hegemony Over the World even though after 17 years the World’s Greatest Military has been unable to defeat a few thousand lightly armed Taliban in Afghanistan, their Great Everything. But in fact, insouciant Americans live in The Matrix. They have no idea of their real situation.

France, Paris is a HELLHOLE and it is getting worse each day. Initial reaction to Macron's speech was one of nearly unanimous disappointment over a missed poor american opportunity. An estimated six million people — around one-tenth of France's population — live in 1,500 neighborhoods classified by the government as Sensitive Urban Zones (zones urbaines sensibles, ZUS), priority targets for urban renewal. Macron admitted that France has "lost the battle over drug trafficking in many cities."

Fed indicates it will let inflation run above 2 percent goal for 'temporary period'. The Federal Reserve minutes from its May meeting said "a temporary period of inflation modestly above 2 percent would be consistent with the Committee's symmetric inflation objective." The central bank also pointed to an interest rate hike at the June meeting. [real inflation runs over the 10%]

The Turkish Central Bank on Wednesday announced an increase of late liquidity window interest rates by 3%. The borrowing rate was kept at 0 percent while the lending rate was increased from 13.50 to 16.50 percent.

Trump is boosting domestic energy: whether it is COAL, oil, natural gas or Oil...Why import while you have it at home!? International politics and Trump's new politics are creating HAVOC in the Oil & Energy sector. Energy Traders who had huge short positions (see backdated Goldonomic updates) have been taken by surprise by the fact that Donald Trump was elected and that he decided to withdraw from previous USA engagements which were signed by the Democrats (Obama): Paris-Global-Warming & Iran deals. The fact that Short positions had to be massively covered and in fact MORE Oil was traded, resulted in a Dollar-Squeeze.

The Dollar squeeze ain't over yet. However the Dollar is entering a HEAVY resistance trading zone and hasn't yet broken the Maximum Activity or Mid Danger Zone (see US-Dollar section for charts) .

Also, most of the commercial OIL traders were mistaken on the price evolution of Crude Oil (see our earlier update cfr. historic high SHORT positions in Oil). As a consequence, these traders not only have to cover in their short positions, but on top they have to buy MORE DOLLARS.

Wednesday May 23, 2018 - Brent Breaks $80 And Gasoline Prices Spike

Updated Sections: Corporate Bonds, $-Gold, Silver, US-Dollar

History teaches that when taxes become immorally high, The People revolt and countries break up. This especially happens when the price of life-important commodities soar. It was the excessive taxation of BREAD which led to the Belgian Independence in 1830, it was the excessive price of SOAP which led to the French Revolution,...This time it will probably be the excessive price of ENERGY which will create havoc.

Because of the creation of fiat money out of thin air and fractional reserve banking we have a HUGE-GEOPOLITICAL misallocation of funds: away from Energy (Nuclear-Energy) and into uneconomic & unreliable Solar and Wind. While money is been Mal-invested in 'so-called- renewable sources of energy (in reality they are NOT and often pollute even more than nuclear-energy), the cost of nuclear-energy-power plants is rising exponentially and the main source of energy (Crude Oil) is depleted (we have Peak Oil). Note: 1 kWh solar results in 300 times more dangerous by-products than 1 kWh Nuke-energy.

No energy because No wind, no Sun, exploded battery!? Just call for the Akademik Lomonosov. Russia not only has huge reserves of Natural Gas and Crude Oil but also has an advanced nuclear-power technology. Recently they launched the 1st DRIVING nuclear-power-energy plant. Russia on Saturday (May 19) unveiled the world's first floating nuclear power station at a ceremony in the port of the far northern city of Murmansk where it will be loaded with nuclear fuel before heading to eastern Siberia. Built in Saint Petersburg, the Akademik Lomonosov arrived in Murmansk on Thursday where it was moored in the port and presented to the media on Saturday. Constructed by the state nuclear power firm Rosatom, the 144-by-30 meter ship holds two reactors with two 35 megawatt nuclear reactors that are similar to those used to power icebreaker ships. The barge can produce enough electricity to power a town of 200,000 residents, far more than the 5,000 live in Pevek, Russia's northernmost town...

Tuesday May 22. 2018 - Ripley's believe it or not...but the Stupid Democratic Herd (Venezuelans) re-elected their executioner. with a 68% majority.

Updated Sections:

The Stupid Democratic Herd IS the MAJORITY. Therefore most of the people around you (friends, children, relatives,...) belong to this group. President Nicolas Maduro has been re-elected even as Venezuela faces now daily violent and in some cases deadly protests, hunger, lack of toilet paper, city water & electricity,...Maduro is re-elected even after killing Venezuela's major source of income by politically appointing incompetent government officials to run the country's major source of income – the oil industry. The Stupid Democratic Herd decided he should stay in power so he can finish the job Chavez started years ago and terminate a country which after WWII was one of the richest on planet Earth.

Civilizations die because they commit Collective Suicide....

Venezuela – just like the USSR, Cuba, Argentina – is the proof on the pudding that the Democratic Herd really is STUPID (and dangerous) and that this group will remain stupid until a country is completely bankrupt (like Cuba, like the USSR in 1989). Democracy (understand Communism-Fascism) has indeed triumphed in Venezuela...which country is next?

Monday May 21, 2018 - Gold & Silver manipulation explained...

Updated Sections: Literature ,

gold manipulation

Once China has enough gold, the United States and China together could let the gold price go wherever it wants in an orderly way.

The other weakness in the manipulation schemes appears in the use of paper gold through leasing, hedge funds, and unallocated gold forwards. These techniques are powerful. Still, any manipulation requires some physical gold. It may not be a lot, perhaps less than one percent of all the paper transactions, yet some physical gold is needed. The physical gold is also rapidly disappearing as more countries are buying it up. That puts a limit on the amount of paper gold transactions that can be implemented. For example, the manipulation that took place in 2013, when the GLD warehouse disgorged five hundred tons of gold, could not be replicated because by 2014 there were only about eight hundred tons of gold left in GLD. If GLD were to disgorge another five hundred tons, there would not be enough gold left in GLD to make the ETF financially viable for the sponsor. There comes a time when the amount of gold left is so small that the management fees don’t cover the costs of insurance, storage, administration, and other expenses. The third point to consider is that there is an endgame that arrives when China has enough gold so that its gold-to-GDP ratio equals or exceeds that of the United States. It’s not there, yet once it is, there will be no political reason to buy more. China will have secured an equal voice at the table the next time a Bretton Woods–style conference is needed to restore confidence in the international monetary system....

Contrary to much speculation, China is not buying gold to launch a gold-backed currency, at least not in the short run, but to hedge its Treasury position. The Treasury has to accommodate that or else China will reduce its position in Treasuries... [link & text only available for subscribers]

The ECB and the EU really have a problem with Fresh-Italian-elected officials as they are thinking about launching an Italian currency which people would be able to use along with the Euro.

Argentina needs help of IMF. Shit happens if you don't clean up a sick situation....even so for a country which after WWII used to be one of the richest in the world. Let the Democrats (understand LEFT) manage a country and they will run it into bankruptcy in no time.

In a somber televised address to the country on Tuesday, Argentine President Mauricio Macri announced his government would open talks with the International Monetary Fund, reportedly to seek $30 billion of support for his country’s ailing economy. Macri said the move was necessary to “avoid crises like the ones we have had in our history”. The news came as a shock in Argentina, where many blame the IMF for exacerbating the catastrophic economic collapse of 2001. Especially the foolish Argentinians who repatriated tax money after Macri promised not to levy any tax penalties on these BLACK-funds AND promised those who brought back capital into Argentina a PREMIUM of the repatriated capital of 15%.

Wednesday May 16, 2018 - Financial markets scared as Hell for Higher Interest Rates & EXPENSIVE OIL IS GOOD FOR THE USA ???

Updated Sections:

We don't have a gasoline glut. We don't even have a comfort zone, +$100 crude oil certainly is possible. Crude markets have seen a wave of bullish news in the last couple of weeks, and as tensions in the Middle East continue to rise and Venezuela falls further into crisis, upward pressure on prices is only increasing. Gasoline prices are at their highest point in years, save for the brief spike during Hurricane Harvey last year. Retail prices will surpass $3 per gallon in many more places in the coming days.

In the coming months, Washington will reinstate all of the former sanctions on Iran, starting with the lighter ones, which are mainly meant to curtail Iranian oil exports. If a complete reimposition of sanctions become a reality the oil market could hit a brick wall. Looking at current fundamentals, demand and supply are already reaching a point where additional changes in supply could lead to supply shortages. The removal of a potential 1 million bpd of Iranian oil before the end of 2018 would surely lead in the short-to-midterm to higher prices. Asian and European clients already expect such a price spike before the end of 2018.

Still, even if Russia, UAE and Saudi Arabia would be able to counter Iran’s production and export decline, the market will remain under severe pressure. From 2019 onwards, the sanctions will not only hit export volumes but total Iranian production capacity.

The chances of a total war in Syria, with possible fallout in Lebanon, are now growing by the day. It will depend on the assessments of Tehran and the willingness of the IRGC backed proxies, especially Hezbollah, if a new war is in the offing. Last night’s military moves by Israel, Iran and others in Syria, show that tensions are nearing boiling point. For Tehran, the JCPOA debacle could become an end-game scenario. Either the next couple of months will be the first step towards the end of the Khomeini-Khamenei theocracy in Iran, due to internal unrest and an imploding Iranian economy, or a fight for survival, starting in Syria and Lebanon.

Subprime Mortgages: Other people’s money is always more fun to play with recklessly than your own. As such there’s been a quiet escalation in number of private capital pools offering mortgage (and auto) financing to subprime quality borrowers. “Special Circumstance Lending” is one such lender in. Denver. It constantly runs ads on Denver radio. The proprietor of Special Circumstance Lending was an aggressive participant in the junk mortgage underwriting business and dumped more than his fair share of subprime crap into the Wall Street mortgage securitization scheme that led to “The Big Short.” Special Circumstance Lender doesn’t need to see your tax returns. It will give you a mortgage based on bank account statements. The big Wall Street banks appear to have retreated from risky mortgage lending. But have they? Though new regulations are intended to limit the amount risk the big banks take underwriting mortgages , the banks instead extend large lines of credit to private “non-bank” mortgage lenders, like Exeter Finance. The average credit score of Exeter underwritten paper is 570. If Exeter doesn’t get repaid, the big banks extending the funds to underwrite that garbage won’t get repaid...more in the Subscriber's sections

Tuesday May 15, 2018 - Real Purchasing power is gone with the wind (inflation)

Updated Sections: Commodities expressed in Gold, Inflation Index, Bonds general & USA

Real Estate prices have no way to go but DOWN...and down they will go until one buys a whole street for a couple of gold coins only.

Nearly 40 percent of the sales last month were either foreclosures or short sales, when the seller accepts less than they owe on the mortgage. One-third of all sales were purchased in cash - twice the rate from a year ago. In troubled housing markets such as Las Vegas and Miami, cash deals represent about half of sales. The median sales price fell 5.2 percent to $156,100, the lowest level since April 2002. Sales of new homes tumbled 16.9% in February from the prior month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 250,000, the lowest level since the series began in 1963. The median price for a new home sold in February fell 13.9% from the prior month to $202,100, the lowest since December 2003.

This time, the price of Real Estate is coming down because the purchasing power is gone. Demand is falling and the potential buyers have (even with low interest rates) a smaller REAL SPENDABLE INCOME. Authorities cooked inflation numbers over the last decennial. Because of 'the cooking' real income/wages did not go up in line to compensate for the higher REAL INFLATION. Because of the TINKERBELL effect, consumers continued to live in LALA-LAND and BORROWED the additional purchasing power. However this credit-line is now exhaused.


Credit Cards are maxed out...	Real Inflation is a reality, not the cooked CPI-figures

The end result is less spendable income, hence lower Real Estate prices and lower consumption or more recession. Some countries tried to overcome the problem by building and selling SMALLER homes. Whereas constructors used to build and sell homes of 300 m2 and 200 m2, nowadays a home of 130 m2 is called BIG while most homes are less than 100 m2 .

Seniors, Students and the Middle Class are Buried in Debt... Consumer Debt up 50% Since 2008.

Shop till you drop is not just a silly phrase. For the majority of Americans, it has become an uneasy reality. Consumer debt is at a record high. In the first quarter of 2018, Americans owed $3.824 trillion, up 5.1 percent from the same time period last year. This includes all debts except mortgages. As our economy grows, so does our spiraling tower of debt. Debt is a worry for the future, but Americans are happily living in the present. For now.

A NEW ERA FOR THE ALUMINUM INDUSTRY. There’s a new, revolutionary way to make aluminum. It eliminates all direct greenhouse gases. And it produces pure oxygen. The technology can create more aluminum in the same size smelting cell as the traditional process. And it can be installed in new facilities or retrofitted for existing ones. What I think will surprise many people is that a test facility has been running at xxxx xxxx test facility since 2009 so this is not some far-off pipe dream but it already has a proof of concept and is primed for commercialization. The first commercially oriented industrial project is expected to begin producing aluminum in 2024.

Considering strong U.S. oil output and the 1.8 million barrels-a-day of oil OPEC and non-OPEC producers have withheld from the markets, we thus forecast modest oil price increases as a result of the sanctions. What will sharply spike prices are increased prospects for a major Middle East War.
Higher oil prices equals higher inflation. Already, the volatile equity markets have been on a down trend over concerns that higher inflation will push the Federal Reserve to aggressively increase interest rates. Thus, not only will equities be pushed lower as interest rates increase, retail sales will decrease as consumers, already holding over $13 trillion in debt, will be spending more on gas.

Tinkerbell or The Grand Illusion, $2 Quadrillion Nightmare Debs & Phony Bank Stress Tests. The illusion doesn’t stop with stock markets. The global banking system is an even bigger illusion. The financial system was bankrupt in 2006 but governments and central banks around the world managed to patch it up by injecting $25 trillion, and by allowing banks to value all toxic assets at maturity instead of at market. 10 years later the financial system is in an even worse state than it was in 2006. Global debt has grown exponentially since then by 65%, from $140 trillion to $230 trillion. And this figure doesn’t include unfunded liabilities and derivatives of another $2 quadrillion or so. We are looking at total debt of over 30 times global GDP. With 5% of GDP it would take over 600 years to get rid of all debt. However you calculate it, the world is bankrupt and will never repay its debts. Nor will the debt be serviced at any rate of interest above zero.

Global banks have just had illusory stress tests. Countries like Portugal and Greece were naturally excluded as their banks are bankrupt. The criteria were set so that every bank would pass except for Monte dei Paschi in Italy. Since the whole world knew that this bank is bankrupt, it was impossible to cheat. Otherwise, in the illusory world, all banks were considered to be in decent health. The top performing banks were the Swedish ones, with Swedbank and Nordea shining. This is particularly fascinating since only a couple of weeks ago, the regulator in Sweden, in an internal report, had expressed particular concern that Nordea was severely under-capitalized to the extent of SEK 50-80 billion. This report was quickly hushed down and clearly ignored in the stress test.

The DANGER is as Banks are going 100% DIGITAL any bank deposit and all securities kept by banks can be FROZEN at any time and Authorities have the LEGAL RIGHT to seize any part of your property they deem necessary for their survival. And this INCLUDES the content of any SAFE DEPOSIT BOX you may have with your bank.

Trump announces he will withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal and restore sanctions. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday he will withdraw the United States from the Iran nuclear deal and restore far-reaching sanctions aimed at severing Iran from the global financial system."We will be instituting the highest level of economic sanction," Trump said. "Any nation that helps Iran in its quest for nuclear weapons could also be strongly sanctioned by the United States."

Because of what happening in the 1960's and 1970's and the years of rigging it becomes evident that Gold and Silver will probably not start to go up in an organized manner but we may see a BOUM...an overnight hike. When this happens, the odds are that it will be impossible to buy any Gold and/or Silver at these low prices...and maybe it won't be possible to buy any at all.

There is little doubt in my mind that we are about to see a sudden hike in Gold & Silver prices. Gold & Silver could easily double and triple overnight....when that happens the first and biggest danger will be Government who will try to tax the windfall profit away (to serve the community). Therefore it is extremely important to move your Gold (and if possible Silver) holdings out of reach of the politicians so you can convert these at your discretion without being taxed inappropriately.

Because of the rigging, Miners were hit hard. Miners however must be seen as an additional source of income and the Miner risk must be completely covered by physical Gold. Depending how long Gold & Silver are manipulated down to these marginal low production prices, we can see some Miners disappear. This loss however will be largely compensated by the coming explosion of the Gold & Silver price...more in the Subscriber's sections

Karl Marx was a psychopath and a Democrat. During his lifetime Democracy was still called Communism & Socialism. Over time the definitions of Communism, Socialism, Capitalism,...have been 'repainted' by Authorities and Mainstream Media. I advise those who don't believe my statement to READ Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto"....(also see out Literature section) The booklet is about 60 pages and will tell you all you want to know "the Bourgeois" (maybe you are one?). Another interesting essay is : The distinction between Capitalism and Free Market enterprise by R.G.D. Lafferty. [see literature section]

Another interesting essay is : The distinction between Capitalism and Free Market enterprise by R.G.D. Lafferty. [see literature section]

Altruism doesn't work. It never has and never will. Progress, evolution comes because and with "diversity" (in-equality). Make everybody equal and the Earth will come to standstill...Ayn Rand explains this in detail in her book: Atlas Shrugged. [see literature section]

Because of Communism and Socialism millions of people were killed and misery was brought all over the world: the USSR, China under Mao, Argentina,...and more recently Venezuela under Chavez & Maduro.

Modern Democrats (de facto Communists) fail to understand the role CAPITAL plays in society. They don't even know the definition of CAPITAL....Modern rulers embrace and love Democracy (Communism) because it makes it easier to control the crowd. History has NOT ONE EXAMPLE where Communism/Socialism brought progress...on the contrary, each time a country engaged into Socialism/Communism/Modern Democracy there was a serious Depression.

When a capitalist buys a machine, a warehouse, raw materials and supplies to start a business, all those things have been built or produced by previous laborers, so they can be thought of as accumulated labor. Thus, capital is accumulated labor. The actual workers of the business are the direct, living labor...

Nobody today knows what level gold will reach. Will it be $10,000, $100,000 or $100 trillion? That depends on the amount of money that will be printed in the next few years. The nominal value of gold at that point is irrelevant. It is only the purchasing power that counts. Therefore we would never sell gold just because it reaches a certain price. When the crisis peaks, so will the gold price. At that point it serves no point to sell the gold since the financial system will be on its knees. However there will be plenty of bargains around at that time.

The transfer of wealth in coming years will be of a magnitude that few realize today. Most billionaires will disappear and not understand what has happened. They will soon become aware that their wealth was only based on the central bank money printing that favored a few and impoverished the poor and the middle classes.

When bubbles burst, debts implode and so do asset values.
