 Time to give up on the CFTC |
| Gene Arensberg has an article out on the COMEX price smash where he concludes that:
"in order for the initial 124 tonne sale to have occurred “legally” it would have had to have been 14 traders, all with zero orders open, all acting simultaneously, all acting independently, in their own self-interest, without colluding with each other to “sell-for-effect” or conspiring to foment a price smash.

| Four Signs That We're Back in Dangerous Bubble Territory |
| As the global equity and bond markets grind ever higher, abundant signs exist that we are once again living through an asset bubble – or rather a whole series of bubbles in a variety of markets. This makes this period quite interesting, but also quite dangerous.

| IN THE NEWS By Cliona O'Dowd, Eureka Report Gold's rollercoaster ride since April has the market spooked.

At the same time, many small investors have pounced on tThursday, May 23, 2013 |

Start of Reflation Bubble Bust?
Is this the start of the great reflation unwind? I don't know, but we should all hope so.
The bigger the bubble the bigger the crash, and this Fed (central bank in general) sponsored equity and corporate bond bubble is enormous.

| Sprott Is Bullish on Silver and Gold Equities |
| The Gold Report: Maria, in April Eric Sprott sold more than $45 million ($45M) worth of units in the Sprott Silver Physical Trust. A spokesperson told Canada's Globe and Mail that the sale was needed to cover charitable obligations and to buy shares in silver mining companies because Mr. Sprott believes silver equities will outperform the metal in the next rally. Can you fill in the details on that thesis?

| Doug Casey’s Primer on Internationalization |
| As many of you may know, International Man has its roots in the book of the same name. It was first published in 1978 by best-selling author, speculator, and renowned world-traveler Doug Casey.
The original intent of that book was to give readers a general sense of the exciting and opportunity-rich world that lay outside of their national borders, with a review of over 100 countries, valuable "opportunity intelligence," and the resources that anyone could follow to realize these opportunities.Thursday, May 23, 2013 |

It has also been amplified, refracted and explicated – though not hotly debated – in our forum, where there are apparently few who expect any change in Fed policy. As how could there be?
