 Vox, you’ve made some pretty stupid comments before but you now crossed the line and are seemingly living in Jim C world. At first I thought you might be trying to put out some provocative thoughts to start a flow of ideas but then realized that, no this was for real.
You ask “Why has there been no interest shown in who was buying?” Well I was buying, as was everyone I know. Anyone with any common sense was buying. I stopped at two bullion dealers in my area yesterday to pick up some gold but more so because I wanted to see what kind of chatter was going on with the dealers. I was surprised at the number of people that were lined up to buy gold and silver. One dealer was rationing and both were almost out of both metals. I chatted with a few of the people in the line ups, normal everyday people, none of which had a broker but all understood what you don’t seem to be able to grasp, the metals have been manipulated and they were waiting for a major manipulation down to buy physical. How many millions of ounces of both gold and silver do you think was sold at street level over the last few days in Europe, never mind the rest of the world after the Cyprus rip off? People are trying to protect what they have left before Keynesian driven politicians and the banksters try to grab it. They weren’t led by an understanding of what you call the Austrian quasi-religion. They were running on common sense, something that you seem to possess very little of. You have obviously missed the documentation presented here and elsewhere that China, Russia, and to a lesser degree smaller countries are on gold buying spree’s. How could you miss something so obvious?
I have never preached that people should buy PM’s but I have complained about those who manipulate the prices. Wrong side of a rigged market, really? Tell me oh wise one, has there ever been a rigged market where eventually those doing the rigging didn’t end up nailed to a wall? Which is the right side when men in black suits come knocking on the door?
As far as the derogatory comments on Dontrose, I’d say they were representative of the man’s writings. Where you see Peter Schiff’s calls to buy decisively wrong I see wise advise. Am I alone in this thinking, no just as there are those who believe Dontrose is correct. Here again we hit that subject that causes you grief, people possessing and acting on their own opinions (feelings). If your opinion was the only correct one you would not be bothered to come here and entertain the lessor beings, you would be out drinking Champaign for breakfast with the people running central banks. Obviously your opinions and knowledge have not led to the creation of a multi-billion dollar empire.
“Indeed, there would be something sinister behind it only moving either up or down, for that would be unnatural.” Have you missed all the documentation about central banks being in hyper drive, even main stream media is reporting on this, spewing out fiat money? Do you understand that when there is too much of something created out of thin air it’s value goes down when compared to something (gold) that can’t be created out of thin air? Are you new to this?
Gold has never been just a commodity. Like the need to breath or eat, gold has been part of what humans need for 6000+ years. Have there been politicians or leaders over those thousands of years that have manipulated gold and silver by adding other metals or a number of other scams, yes. Did this change how humans (and I know you’re going to have a problem with this word again because you don’t understand it) feel about gold and silver, no. It’s only been in recent history that gold and silver have been treated like commodities by those who would perpetrate yet another scam.
“Far too many of those writing articles for our consumption on this site have bought into the utter nonsense that Austrian economics represents.” What a breathtakingly stupid statement. Please do provide a dissertation on your thoughts as to which school of thought is the correct one and why. I’m also unsure what you mean that if this was a battle between Keynesians and Austrians the Austrians got slaughtered. Are you so blind that you can’t see the shear corruption of the media and what they are pushing on behalf of their Keynesian leaders? There has been no victory, one side simply has the ability to print all the money it needs to pay off the politicians and media barons to promote their quest to remove all monies from Mr. Average Joe and put it in their own pockets. I don’t see any Austrians laying in mass graves, they weren’t slaughtered nor was what they believe even dented. Truth be told many of the average people on the street are, through the use of common sense, coming to the conclusion that the Keynesian way of life has gotten them nowhere other than over their heads in debt. Without even knowing about Austrian economic theory they’re becoming Austrians in the way they think about money and have started moving away from debt.
“Austrianism forces us to wear blinders?” What the hell were you thinking when you typed that up? Please do explain how we as a collective species have been forced to wear Austrian blinders? In fact the very opposite is true, Keynesians through manipulation of the media have carried out a continued assault on the world’s population. Most of the planet is walking around with glazed over eye’s believing they didn’t get into enough debt and because of this the world as we know it will end. Like some liberal fanatic you run around calling Austrians terrorists simply because they can see where you are wrong and they have a better plan. I and millions more see gold for what it really is. This understanding however has alluded you.
You’ve made some bad calls here in the past but you’ve now set a new low for yourself.
