 The Gold Standard: Generator Protector Of Jobs  |
| The abandonment of the gold standard in 1971 is closely tied to the massive unemployment the industrialized world has suffered in recent years; Mexico, even with a lower level of industrialization than the developed countries, has also lost jobs due to the closing of industries; in recent years, the creation of new jobs in productive activities has been anemic at best.Monday, June 26, 2017 |

June 18, 2017: The “Gold Sterilization” of 1937
October 2, 2017: The Interwar Period, 1914-1944
I think it has been productive to spend all this time on the 1930s. I feel like we are airing out a lot of past confusion and trauma. Of course, many people may not agree with my interpretations and conclusions. But, along the way, they might get the data and materials to come to their ownSunday, June 25, 2017 |

| The fog around gold really isn't so obsolete at all |
| "One Nation Under Gold" author James Ledbetter writes in the Los Angeles Times today that the wealthier people are, the less likely they are to own gold, and that gold is best regarded as an investment by people who can't afford it. Ledbetter observes that Americans still own a lot of gold even as nobody is sure how much.
Indeed, his essay is most interesting for acknowledging the fog that continues to surround gold.
Ledbetter writes: "While we may think that we live in a more accountable era, Saturday, June 24, 2017 |

| The Post “Rate-hike” Manipulations-Are Nearly Dead |
| In 15 years of Cartel, PPT, and Fed “watching,” I’ve not seen anything like the manipulations since Election Day – which is quite amazing, considering the powers that be were clearly aligned with the status quo fronted by Hillary Clinton, and her band of criminal bankers, corporate CEOs, globalist politicians, and “fake news” mainstream media. Why “they” chose to double down their manipulative efforts when the “Red Swan” fought through their historic election-rigging to win the Presidency is beSaturday, June 24, 2017 |

| One striking chart suggests the Fed is making a big mistake |
| BusinessInsider/Pedro Nicolaci da Costa/06-22-17
The Federal Reserve keeps telling the bond market it wants interest rates to move higher, but traders aren’t listening.
That suggests investors don’t believe the Fed’s justification for interest rate increases, which are predicated not only on recent economic improvement but also on a continued bright outlook.
One startling chart from Societe Generale’s Albert Edwards illustrates the Fed’s dilemma. Two-year notes are historically the maturity thatThursday, June 22, 2017 |

A slew of new surveys and data have come out revealing that we don’t save enough, we spend money we don’t have, we have our financial priorities backwards — and more. Here are five new stats that prove Americans are backwards about money.

Having raised rates to a ceiling of 1.25% last week, "This is actually a pretty good place to be," said New York Fed chief William Dudley late Monday.

Gold prices finished firmly lower Monday, as the dollar strengthened and as investors favored assets perceived as risky, including stocks, over so-called havens. August gold finished off $9.80, or 0.8%, to settle at $1,246.70 an ounce. The precious yellow metal has closed down in seven of the past nine trading sessions and has been pressured down by a trio of factors: The Federal Reserve’s efforts to normalize U.S. interest rates, a climb in the Dow Jones IndusTuesday, June 20, 2017 |

“If I was the Federal Reserve, I would have a meeting on this. Inflation is going to go down…. You have to rethink food … Costco knows how to compete. It will be in there tooth and nail with toilet paper and paper towels. … But Kroger, a crisis in Cincinnati, crisis.”

Gold heads into the weekend on a defensive footing, still reeling — albeit modestly so — from the Fed’s surprise hawkishness on Wednesday. I think the market is still trying to ascertain what the Fed might be seeing that nobody else seems to see. That being said, gold is only down 0.7% on the week.
In the meantime, the economic picture continues to deteriorate, quickly undermining that Fed optimism. Housing starts tumbled 5.5% in May, and permits fell 4.5%. Consumer Friday, June 16, 2017 |
