My advice for the past 5 years has been to "GET OUT OF THEIR SYSTEM" by closing out all your financial accounts and taking possession of physical silver. This includes everything from stocks to 401k's to savings accounts. My reasoning was very simple..the markets are rigged and one day that rigging will end.
But today the rigging continues and is more blatant than ever. A nuclear bomb could go off in downtown Manhattan and the markets would barely budge. It's because they are run off computer programs in the basement of the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve with the help of The Plunge Protection Team. There haven't been free markets for decades but people are just starting to wake up to this fact. If silver were allowed to trade freely for the past 40 years it would be well over $1,000/oz today and looking VERY BULLISH! But the years of cumulative price manipulation have done their job and people wince as silver is rigged down on bullish news and allowed to slowly rise on no news. So be it. One day, very soon, the "Coiled Spring" of silver market rigging will unleash it's fury...until then we WAIT on the SIDELINES with metal in hand.
So while I was watching one of the worst natural disasters in US history hit the East Coast I knew that it was "all hands on deck" to rig the markets. "No problems here!". See no evil - hear no evil - speak no evil. From day 1 the talking heads in the mainstream media were saying it was all no big deal and that the financial markets aren't even taking notice...meanwhile people are suffering up and down the East Coast...AND IT'S GETTING WORSE!
But the powers that be keep saying everything's fine. So fine in fact that they are going to shift hundreds of police officers, generators and support equipment to run the New York Marathon on Sunday! Do you feel as sick as I do?
...AND ARE YOU GETTING ANGRY?!
In there lies the problem for the Good Guys. The anger is reaching a fevered pitch. They've waited too long to pull the trigger because they wanted a "smooth transition". The anger is rising fast and, in my opinion, the chance for a peaceful transition has been washed away with the faith of those on the East Coast facing serious hardship.
My take..the End IS Near and it ain't gonna be pretty.
May the Road you choose be the Right Road.
