Loud And Clear Bell Ringing To Buy Precious Metals

Today’s unprecedented announcement by the world’s most powerful central banks was a loud and clear bell ringing to buy precious metals. The move, disguised as an attempt to help the fragile state of the global economy, is in reality a move to prop up failing banks in Europe and the US.

By reducing interest rates paid for dollar swaps, central bankers are in effect increasing the quantity of global dollars in circulation. The result? The dollar will weaken, inflation will rise, and gold will soar. Gold was up more than $30 today, and the dollar got crushed. - in europac

Merkel Wants The Euro To Be The Strongest Currency In The World

I Think QE3 Is Going To Happen

I think QE3 is going to happen — if it’s not already here in disguise. They will officially acknowledge it. The government just revised downward its estimate for third-quarter growth from 2.5 percent to 2. I think we’re relapsing into recession because we never really fixed our problems—we just added more debt and more government.

I think the Fed will be looking at oil prices, which will be well over $100 a barrel shortly. We’ll be seeing record-high gasoline prices seasonally, and probably we’ll see heating oil prices the highest they’ve ever been in the wintertime.

The Fed will unfortunately react to this thinking: “Oh no! We need cheaper money because higher energy prices are going to be a drag on the economy.” But, of course, the higher energy prices result from all the cheap money.

So I think we’re going to see more easing and more pain, which means higher gas prices, higher food prices and a weaker dollar. - in Index Universe

Safe Haven Demand For The US Dollar May Be Short Lived

In the meantime, the prospect of sovereign default in Europe is driving “safe haven" demand for the dollar. So, contrary to the political blame game, Europe’s problems are actually providing a temporary boost to America’s bubble economy. However, a resolution to the crisis in Europe could reverse those flows. And given the discipline emanating from Berlin, a real solution is not out of the question.

If confidence can be restored there, each episodic flight to safety may be less focused on the US dollar. Instead, risk-averse investors may prefer a basket of other, higher-yielding, more fiscally sustainable currencies. - in europac.net

Europe Vs US: Which Will Explode First?

With fiscal time bombs ticking in both Europe and the United States, the pertinent question for now seems to be which will explode first. For much of the past few months, it looked as if Europe was set to blow. But Angela Merkel’s refusal to support a Federal Reserve-style bailout of European sovereigns, as well as her recent statement the she had no Hank Paulson-style fiscal bazooka in her handbag, has lowered the heat.

In contrast, the utter failure of the Congressional Super Committee in the United States to come up with any shred of success in addressing America’s fiscal problems has sparked a renewed realization that America’s fuse is dangerously short.

The Main Problem The Past Number Of Years Is We Spent A Lot Of Money We Didn’t Have To Buy Foreign Products We Can’t Afford

First of all the main problem the past number of years is we spent a lot of money we didn’t have to buy foreign products we can’t afford. We have run up an enormous debt to the rest of the world and have nothing to show for it. It’s analogous to an individual loses his job and instead of getting another job he buys everything on his credit card, and he shows his wife his credit card bills and says “Look honey, look how great we are doing. - in famous Schiff`s quotes

Schiff Radio: Silver, Euro Outlook

Viewer Questions: Regarding silver from a technical view, do you think it's forming a bearish rising wedge pattern that can see drop further to support around $21 before rebounding?

In addition, the ECB needs to print more money to buy Italian bonds and keep the Italy-Germany 10 year spread beneath 450 to avoid margin calls on Italian bondholders. A weaker Euro would cause metals to fall relative to the dollar.

But there is a serious problem going on over there in Italy and pretty soon it’s going to be a serious problem over here in America. What’s going on is people are questioning the ability of governments to repay the money they’ve borrowed and there is already a lot of turmoil.

People should be questioning the ability of the American government because the American taxpayers are no more able to pay our debts than the Italian taxpayers are to pay theirs. In fact we are probably in worse shape. The collapse in the US will come. It’s going to happen as far as I’m concerned as sure as the sun rises. - in KWN

Long Term Forecast: The US Dollar Faces A Bigger Blowup Than The Euro

My long-term forecast remains that the US dollar faces a bigger blowup than the euro. The European Union at least has a core of productive economies, while the US economy is a hollow shell kept afloat by its creditors. For the average American, it is simply too risky to try to time getting into and out of the dollar. It is better to put a portion of your portfolio in gold and know that it will keep its value long-term.

Gold And Silver At Discount Prices

October was very much about consolidation and recovery from the September correction. From trough to peak, gold recovered 8.9 percent to 1741 dollars/ounce, before sliding back to 1700 Dollars/ounce as October came to a close. For silver, trough to peak was 25.7 percent, seeing silver hit $35.42 before sliding back to around $33. Both are comfortably at what I would consider discount prices. - in Schiff`s Gold Newsletter
