China Inflation and the Increased demand for commodities

Propaganda and Rigged Markets - Inflationary Defences - Fiat Currency
To any who analyze our daily "news" (rather than simply absorbing it like a sponge), it has been obvious for quite some time that the information with which we are bombarded each morning is not "news to inform us", but rather disinformation to deceive us, and conceal the farcical rigging of global markets. Few days provide as stark an illustration of that disinformation campaign as today.

Upon awaking and discovering that gold and silver had dropped a couple of percent overnight, I do what I always do. I immediately went to Kitco.com -- for all of the anti-precious metals propaganda which would be put out to "explain" this move in markets. I was particularly well-rewarded today, as the gold bears at Kitco had furnished no less than four anti-gold headlines, telling all the sheep why gold and silver should be moving lower today.

Commodities: Oil, Gold Higher Ahead of Fed Meeting

Commodities: Oil, Gold Higher Ahead of Fed Meeting


Commodities are getting a boost today, climbing as the dollar slips in value against the euro ahead of this afternoon's Federal Reserve meeting. Oil is up $0.26 to $88.87 a barrel, reversing yesterday's fall, while the most active February gold contract pressed back above $1,400 an ounce, climbing $8.10 to $1,405.40 an ounce.

Copper also is higher, with the March contract up fractionally from Monday's settlement to 4.21 a pound, after earlier hitting a record $4.2290 yesterday.

A new Goldman Sachs research report yesterday provided precious metals with added momentum, predicting gold will reach $1,690 an ounce by the end of 2011 and peak sometime during 2012.

"We expect a low U.S. real interest rate environment will continue in 2011, particularly given the resumption of quantitative easing measures in the U.S., and expect gold prices to continue to climb" into next year, Goldman analysts said in the report. Gold will peak in 2012, they said.

Gold is up over 28 percent this year, the 10th straight year the metal will post an annual advance.

Oil, paced by heating-oil futures, fell on Monday as a recent cold snap in several parts of the U.S. appeared to be less severe than initially feared. Gasoline inventories, due out tomorrow, also were predicted to climb for a fourth consective week, according to a survey of analysts by Bloomberg.

In company news, Spartech Corp. (SEH) reported a Q4 net loss of $1.78 a share on a 7% jump in revenues to $259.6 million. The higher sales reflected a small increase in volume and the effect of higher prices due to higher raw material costs, including oil, according to the producer of plastic sheeting and other packaging items.

Reuters also is reporting today that Kazakhstan plans to invite either Rio Tinto (RIO) or Vale (VALE) to develop a large copper deposit in the center of the country, quoting a senior government official. The deposit also contains gold and silver.

Gold Silver And Commodities Likely Safer

Gold Silver And Commodities Likely Safer
An excerpt from Bob Chapman's weekly publication.
November 17 2010:

Oil can burn us badly, no wealth creation, not a good time to raise taxes, the time is now to discuss the antidote, Senate gridlock ahead, bears making lemons out of lemonade. Social Security adjustment in the mail.

We hear stories about oil and about how it will probably move higher, perhaps to $150.00 a barrel and perhaps higher. This is the first time in more than three years that it has moved to lofty levels. The net speculative long position is more than 200,000 contracts, or about 35% higher than in 2007. Some economies are doing well, particularly in Asia and in Latin America, but not enough to create such higher prices. $60.00 a barrel would more nearly meet demand. As is being experience by the entire commodity sector prices reflect the tremendous fear about money and credit unleashed over the past eight years, particularly over the past 2 years under QE1. That has produced unusual profits for commodity producers, as well as base and precious metals producers. This in turn will lead to higher wholesale prices for goods and part of that will spread to services as well. That in turn will force manufactures and others to raise prices, which will cut revenues and to some extent profits. If not passed on to consumers’ profits could fall more dramatically.

Bob Chapman : gold, silver and commodities make sense in this negative environment

Bob Chapman on A Marines Disquisition

An excerpt from Bob Chapman's weekly publication The International Forecaster of the 20th October 2010..."...This is why gold, silver and commodities make sense in this negative environment. Where else can you go that is safe, as countries are most all developing beggar-thy-neighbor policies? We must say the eurozone has refrained from quantitative easing, but how long can that last? The euro just rose from $1.19 to $1.40, and the 12% to 15% price advantage for exports is in good part gone. Germany and other members will continue to see falling exports and that will put great pressure on the ECB to loosen up and perhaps to reduce interest rates. We are seeing one reflationary cycle after another in most nations and that does not solve the problems. We have seen that in the US with the Bush stimulus, then QE1. That is why QE2 is futile. All it does is enable higher gold, silver and commodity prices. The gold and silver markets have been a lock since June of 2000, or for 10 years. Compounded annual gains of almost 20% a year. These kinds of profits have existed nowhere else over that period. In fact nothing comes close and it is going to continue. What you are seeing is classical economics at play. Not only are they an inflationary, hyperinflationary and deflationary depression play, but they are as well the ultimate currency play. The only entity or currency that has no debt or encumbrances. Today we even have ETFs, that are supposed to have physical gold and silver, but instead are loaded with derivatives. We had best hope the derivatives market doesn’t fold, because if it does all the players therein will have some serious problems, as well the highly leveraged LBMA and Comex....."
