Bob Chapman : Economy Teeters On The Brink and Market Manipulation Continues

Bob Chapman on Republic Broadcasting Network Aug 10 2010

There is no question there is going to be a global shift away from the dollar , Bob Chapman On The International Forecaster : "It's just the same old, same old, business as usual in America. The Fed creates money out of thin air, uses it to keep the economy from teetering over the edge of destruction as ludicrous salaries and bonuses are collected by Wall Street Illuminists and as US consumers are deceptively informed that we have green shoots sprouting up and that recovery is just around the corner. So go out and borrow, borrow, borrow, and spend, spend, spend, so US transnational conglomerates can continue to generate their off-shore, untaxed profits to pay Illuminist salaries and bonuses for their henchmen in Corporate America. Then you have the President's Working Group on Financial Markets (aka the Plunge Protection Team, aka the PPT for short), rigging markets around the world 24/7 with the money created out of thin air by the Fed via the repo pool."




Mr. Robert Chapman also known as The International Forecaster is a 74 years old. He was born in Boston, MA and attended Northeastern University majoring in business management. He spent three years in the U. S. Army Counterintelligence, mostly in Europe. He speaks German and French and is conversant in Spanish. He lived in Europe for six years, off and on, three years in Africa, a year in Canada and a year in the Bahamas.

Mr. Chapman became a stockbroker in 1960 and retired in 1988. For 18 of those years he owned his own brokerage firm. He was probably the largest gold and silver stockbroker in the world during that period. When he retired he had over 6,000 clients.

The Historic Gold Silver Ratio

The price of silver has been notoriously volatile as it can fluctuate between industrial and store of value demands. At times this can cause wide ranging valuations in the market, creating volatility.

Silver often tracks the gold price due to store of value demands, although the ratio can vary. The gold/silver ratio is often analyzed by traders, investors and buyers. In 1792, the gold/silver ratio was fixed by law in the United States at 1:15, which meant that one troy ounce of gold would buy 15 troy ounces of silver; a ratio of 1:15.5 was enacted in France in 1803. The average gold/silver ratio during the 20th century, however, was 1:47. The lower the ratio/number, the more expensive silver is compared to gold. Conversely the higher the ratio/number, the cheaper silver is compared to gold.

Oil Dispersant Getting Into Food Chain

Bob Chapman : corporate America has record amounts of cash, because they borrowed it.

Bob Chapman :"The existence of two sets of books has allowed American and European corporations to avoid writing off losses and declaring bankruptcy. At the same time American firms borrowed $289 billion in the first quarter taking their total domestic debt to $7.2 trillion, the highest in history. Yes, corporate America has record amounts of cash, because they borrowed it. That is up $1.1 trillion in three years. This is just the debt of the non-financials that represent the better performing part of the economy. The financial sector and the banks are the walking dead. The debt of these non-financials equals 50% of GDP, another record. Over the past six months we have seen a large inventory buildup, which means the cash figure could be considerably lower now. That inventory has to be sold over the next six months in a slowing economy. Of course, there is $1.5 trillion sitting in the Cayman Islands, but if that is brought home a 35% tax has to be paid, or 39.5% if the previous tax cuts are abandoned. That is almost $600 billion in taxes, which would go a long way to reducing the budget deficit. We should have legislation to bring those funds home. The tax avoidance is anti-America. This advantage, if ended, would in part cause transnational conglomerates to bring production and jobs back to our country. The entire concept of non-financial corporations have lots of cash is a scam. There are few healthy balance sheets. This situation has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with lying and greed." The International Forecaster of August 8th 2010

Miner Rio Tinto Reports Record Earnings

In today's market report... Global miner Rio Tinto reported a record first-half profit on Thursday. It was more than double a year ago. Metals prices have recovered and its mines ran close to full throttle supplying China.

Rio Tinto's earnings totaled $5.8 billion, and they also announced an $800 million investment in a Western Australia iron ore facility. It's seen as a vote of confidence in Australia's new government and a reduced mining tax.

Meanwhile Japan's Nikkei today regained ground lost on Wednesday. The dollar rebounded from an eight-month low against the yen. It came on encouraging U.S. employment and service sector data.

Toyota Motor shares climbed after reporting its best operating profit in two years, beating market estimates, and lifting its cautious forecasts. That's despite a sluggish U.S. recovery and a stronger yen.

Elsewhere in the region, China's banking regulator instructed lenders to stop extending mortgages to people buying their third homes in four of the cities where house prices have risen sharply. Property speculation has made housing prices soar since the 1990s, and authorities are now trying to slow that growth. Officials fear sky-high prices in major cities are feeding on themselves and making it impossible for average workers to own a home.

Bob Chapman : Silver should have been $50 today

John Stadtmiller Aug 03 2010- Robby Noel, Bob Chapman- Roundtable

Later a caller says that there is some regulation that radio stations must stream their broadcasts .Caller wonders if this is a roundabout way to have the FCC regulate the net.

Bob mentions that the government will likely print up 5 trillion over the next two years to keep things afloat. Gold should have been up $50 today, China is starting to buy Gold big time.

In Switzerland people are taking Gold in allocated amounts or in full...rumor says that there might be pending legislation to stop it.

Later around 70:00 John mentions again about Mike Rivero coming to RBN August 23 2010 and he has received email both pro and con.
