Currency Warfare, Trade Barriers, The People it Hurts

Currency Warfare, Trade Barriers, The People it Hurts
An excerpt from Bob Chapman's weekly publication.
November 24 2010:

A frayed social net, foreclosure crises caused by banks, few jobs available, standards of living to fall, Open currency warfare, FBI finds more insider trading, Bernanke and quantitative easing, toxic economy still poisoning the system.
The social net has become a bit more frayed. Soon extended unemployment benefits will cease and 2 million Americans will have to dip into their savings, if they have any. This is an outgrowth of the effects of free trade, globalization, offshoring and outsourcing. We have lost 8.5 million jobs over the last ten years to this destructive process. We have seen more than 42,000 manufacturing plants leave the country as well. There are now more than 17 million Americans unemployed and the U6 official government unemployment figures 17%. If you remove the bogus birth/death ration, the real figure is 22-5/8%. Over that ten-year period we have lost about 5.5 million manufacturing jobs or about 1/3rd of that labor force. As recent as 1985, 25% of output was in manufacturing, now it is close to 11%. America’s physical infrastructure is in a shambles, so that transnational conglomerates can bring us cheap goods to suppress inflation and bring these companies mega-profits, which they keep stored offshore to bypass taxation. They presently have $1.7 trillion in such profits.

Rio Tinto Sees Effect of Lower Grade Copper on Production to Continue Into 2011

Gold Weakens as Dollar Gains on Europe Debt Woes

By: Reuters
Gold fell 1 percent on Friday as the dollar pushed to fresh two-month highs against the euro on worries that Ireland's debt crisis was spreading and on growing speculation of an imminent Portuguese bailout.
However, gold was underpinned by some modest safe haven buying amid investor nervousness over the European debt crisis after a newspaper report that euro zone nations were pressuring Portugal to follow Ireland's lead and seek a bailout. Portugal and Germany's finance ministry denied the report

BP Oil Spill Incident Commander Killed in Plane Crash

Jim Black, a BP incident commander for the company's Gulf of Mexico oil spill response team, died in a small plane crash near Destin, Fla., on Tuesday night, the company confirmed.

"Jim was a devoted member of our Gulf Coast spill response team and served many years with Amoco and BP. He will be missed by all who knew him and worked with him. Jim and his family are in our thoughts and prayers."

The Coast Guard said the small plane crashed Tuesday about 7:30 p.m. in Choctawhatchee Bay.

Black, whose job at the oil giant was director of operations for the Gulf Coast Restoration Organization, spent a lot of his time during the past several months in and around New Orleans. His work as incident commander for the oil spill response took him to the Joint Incident Command Center in Robert, to another operations center in Houma and often to New Orleans.

He lived in Katy, Texas, and was heading to Destin for the holidays with his sister, Charlene Miller, and the plane's pilot, Gregory Coleman of Cedar Park, Texas. Miller was Coleman's mother-in-law.

Patriot Radio News Hour: America Trending Towards and Inflationary Economic Depression

Monday, October 04, 2010
By: Bob Chapman - MarketOracle.co.uk
There is no question that those who control our government from behind the scenes are bound and determined to take over the $6 trillion in private pension plans. Whether they'll be successful remains to be seen. The Department of Labor wants to force all IRA's and 401k's into the arms of a corporate fascist government, that knows better what is good for you, than you do. You would exchange your hard earned investments for a guaranteed, government annuity that is not worth the paper it is written on.
We have been writing about this for more than a year, but as usual few are listening. People say the government won't and can't do that. Government can do anything it wants.

Commodity Trading Tips: Sometimes the Obvious Clues Are Overlooked

Trading commodities, or any actively traded investment medium for that matter, involves the continuous search for the latest angle, tip, or trading gambit that may suddenly provide that necessary mental advantage to create a burst of profitable trades. As technology has enabled the assimilation of mountains of data in an instant, the art of technical analysis has grown in sophistication to the point of intellectual overload. Sorting through the plethora of new “tricks” can be time consuming, and favorable back-testing results do not necessarily convey confidence either.

In times like these, it is often best to take a breather and think back about your early training and what early instructors taught about the simplest signals communicated by forces in the market. One of those early lessons in commodity trading surely concerned candlestick formations, the simple box and line structures embedded in our charts and most likely taken for granted. These little symbols have more significance than meets the eye and have made millions for commodity traders in earlier times.

Technical analysis actually has its roots from centuries ago when commodity traders learned to associate pricing patterns with the changing of the seasons, and, as the story goes, back in the 1700’s Japanese rice dealers invented “candlesticks” to quickly convey the price action for each day’s trading. The simple box structures related opening and closing prices, along with the high and low for the day. The story continues that one particular trader studied repeating patterns over time, and with new technical “weapons” at his side, he soon wreaked havoc in the market and became wealthy over night.

Sounds like a good plan for today’s ambitious trader, and if not that, then it makes for a fun read. Candlesticks have a fascinating history, steeped in Japanese lore during the Tokugawa shogun era with colorful names tied to nature or Samurai battle tactics. The nicknames alone are very interesting, and the degree of study is much deeper than most would think, actually enough to fill books on the topic and provide a world of insights long before computers were available. Recognizable patterns can be for a single candlestick or extend over several trading periods, but the objective is to signal significant reversal points or that the market has stalled in a sideways trend.

The chart below presents a series of actual candlestick formations over roughly sixty trading periods. A variety of typical formations are shown. While we generally think of a candlestick as always having a “box”, either colored or transparent, the most basic daily reversal pattern is actually known as a “doji”, a formation where there is no box. The “shadows” or “wicks” are present, but the opening and closing prices are either equal or so close to being equal that the result is a horizontal line. If the line is near the top or bottom of the shadow, then it becomes a “tombstone doji”, a prevalent reversal pattern.

Over the course of forty-five trading periods, this “tombstone doji” appears seven times, signaling a reversal at each occasion. Additional insights can be gained by studying other familiar patterns and combinations that occur frequently in commodity, stocks, and forex trading markets. One of the basic benefits of technical analysis is its inherent flexibility that allows for its principles to be applied over multiple investment mediums.

Searching for new trading tips, especially in active markets like commodities, is a never-ending process that enhances our effectiveness as traders. Success requires an inquiring mind and one open to new ideas, even when those ideas are as basic as candlestick formations.

Why USA Continues to Depend on Coal

Cheap, practical, available in huge quantities: coal is dirty, but far from being done as a source of energy. The largest coal reserves in the world are in the US. The country currently produces half of its energy using coal power plants.The plants are responsible for more than 80 percent of the CO2 emissions of the electricity branch. And according to forecasts by the Department of Energy, their share in energy production will in fact slightly increase by 2030.

"Total silver supply reached 858.0 million ounces last year. This tonnage was up 2.4% from 2008 levels and it also constituted a record volume of silver supply. A further 2.5%-5% increase in total silver supplies is projected for 2010. The largest increase in total supply last year was from a 4% bump recorded by global silver mine production. Around 22,100 tonnes or 709.6 million ounces of silver were estimated to have been mined in the world in 2009.
