Your nest egg.........from Rico
While Benyamin blathers-on about 'inflation' being about 2%, here is why your nest egg has already been fried, boiled, and scrambled:
- inflation (the real, actual inflation using John William's of ShadowStat's methodology...ie, before the Gov't started cooking its books) is running ~11%.
Of course, if you shop for your own groceries instead of stalking the halls of Macadamia or having your tax-payer funded Personal Assistant shop for you, you already KNOW you are being lied to.
Oh, the mendacity!
News................
This is not meant to be at all reassuring, even in the least little bit ....

Cannes can't, didn't............from Rico
Gee, has it already been a week since the EUrocrats 'solved' their financial crisis in Cannes?
You know the one. Not only can't it be solved, but they didn't solve it...merely jawboned-it once again.
- Their faux-solution lasted all of about 48 hours among the dimmer wits.
And, in the context of the Italian bond-German Bund spread widening, take a look at how Italian Banks have actually fared since we discovered that Cannes can't.
- Italian banking may be visiting the remains of the SS Titanic soon.
Not Bad..................from Rico
While the Central Bankers like Benny of the Fed would have you believe their prettily-engraved paper slips are 'money' and that Gold and Silver are NOT money, people somehow do not quite agree (including the many Central Banks that are adding to their reserves of Gold).
After a couple days of orchestrated, unbacked-paper (naked shorting) 'raids' by the precious metal perma-shorts playing the markets, this mornings opening spot prices are NOT BAD for not being 'money' (bear in mind that while it is 'easy' to buy unbacked paper Gold or Silver, there is a shortage of physical Silver in the marketplace right now and the market price for 'physical' is running almost twice what the manipulated 'paper' spot price is on the COMEX/NYMEX...don't believe me? Try and buy a 1oz Silver Eagle at spot price, and you'll discover the asking price is easily double current spot.)
These screen captures show the early intraday for spot Gold at 1762.20 (it closed at 1357.55 one year ago today), and spot Silver at 34.83 (it closed at 24.85 one year ago today) and then consider the deflated.devalued position of the Greenback just from on eyear ago.
So, in a sense Benny is right...precious metals are NOT money, they are BETTER than money (well, at least his money).
