Intussen is het "duikje" dat Indy een uurtje geleden aangaf een frietzakje geworden. Terug naar de 1650.

De illegale werkster komt om 10.00 langs en stoft de muis af. Andere verklaring zullen ze In 2035 bij de hoorzitting niet hebben.

Ook een kleine bijdrage aan de "verkoopmoment" discussie.

Ben het in hele grote delen met Adamus eens hier. Mijn gevoel zegt me dat er géén eindstreep is aan de prijs van goud. Hoeft ook niet, zegt ook niets. We krijgen goud in een andere rol dan de huidige. "Ons" voordeel zit hem erin dat we de herprijzing waarschijnlijk mogen meemaken. Daarna is goud super saai koopkrachtbehoud.
Nu zeggen we saai, ter zijner tijd de oh zo gewenste rust na zeer turbulente jaren en gebeurtenissen...

Verkoop dus niet eer ik geld nodig zou hebben, dan heeft het zijn doel gediend IMO.

Kwam deze quote tegen vandaag op FOFOA en vind hem wel erg toepasselijk bij de discussie.

"As paper debt increases, it ages the currency by always generating more "fiat receipts" than human production can ever service. Then, at the end of the "currency timeline", in a great flood of human emotions, we reach for "natural conclusions" to a non-retractable financial problem!"

Wanneer moet je dan verkopen? Sinclair antwoord vandaag op "onze" vraag:

You are going to be ok in your silver position, however in the future you buy when weekly prices looks like a fishing line. You sell 1/3 when weekly prices looks like a Rhino horn.

Cut this out and paste it on your computer. Let us call this the "Two commandments in Precious Metals."

Als ik dat zo 'n beetje volg stel ik vast dat:
+++ China, India
++ Taiwan, Z. Korea, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Duitsland
+ Rusland, Zwitserland
- VS, Saudi Arabië

... en merk ik ook op dat de vraag naar "bars" afneemt en de vraag naar "munten" stijgt.

Nu een geweldig item op 1Vandaag over Kernenergie/solar in Duitsland. Over MSM en manipulatie gesproken
We hebben het hier over de NL staatstelevisie!

Via JSMineset een artikel van Seeking Alpha: Details Of The $291 Trillion In Derivatives To Which American Taxpayers Are Exposed

Het drukt ons wederom met de neus op het feit waarom interest rates niet substantieel omhoog kunnen gaan: oorzaak de derivaten die de grote (TBTF) spelers uitgeven.

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- European banks risk creating a new global financial crisis as they shrink their balance sheets by more than $2 trillion through the end of next year, the International Monetary Fund warned Wednesday.
Without careful oversight by euro-zone authorities, the potential consequences of a synchronized and large-scale reduction in banks' portfolios could cause "serious damage to asset prices, credit supply and economic activity in Europe and beyond," the IMF said in a new report.
The fund outlined a raft of policies it says are necessary to avoid the worst-case scenario, including furthering central-bank support, expanding the use of the region's emergency funds to invest in banks as a way to inject needed capital and soften the impact of banks unwinding their risky assets, and accelerating financial-sector reforms.
Without diligent action by euro-zone authorities, the fund said Europe risks forcing an international fire-sale of bank assets, with banks rapidly shrinking their portfolios by an estimated $3.8 trillion. Besides a credit crunch and a resurgence of default risk in the euro zone, that would likely spark a chain reaction of destruction across the globe. Emerging markets would be whip-sawed as capital flooded out of their economies. The U.S. derivatives markets could likely face another meltdown. And near-term prospects for a global economic recovery would be shattered.
"Through derivative markets, stress could be transmitted to U.S. banks, even though their direct exposures to European banks and sovereigns are relatively low," the fund said.
The IMF based its latest Global Financial Stability Report on an analysis of 58 of the euro zone's largest banks, including Deutsche Bank (DB), Banco Santander SA (STD) and BNP Paribas (BNP.FR.) The report will help set the stage for discussions among finance ministers and central bankers at the spring meetings of the IMF and Group of 20 largest industrialized and developing economies.
Europe's crisis will be at the center of the talks. Despite raising its global growth outlook for the year, the IMF warned that Europe's crisis is at a point of potential divergence that could either help cultivate a worldwide recovery, or spiral out of control and into a euro-zone break up.
The IMF said the nearly five-dozen banks it studied have already made public plans for roughly $2 trillion in portfolio reductions through 2013. In the last quarter of the year, the fund estimates banks had already cut $580 billion off their balance sheets. That contributed to a tightening of credit, which then prompted the European Central Bank to issue cheap loans to avoid a freezing of lending.
But the IMF expects the actual number is likely 30% higher and closer to $2.6 trillion, roughly 7% of total assets and a much larger amount than implied by the capital plans submitted to the European Banking Authority.
Banks need to deflate their portfolios for a number of reasons. Many still have too many risky assets and capital buffers too small to cover potential losses. This so-called "deleveraging" comes as banks are trying to cope with exposures to weak economies, anemic growth and high refinancing requirements.
"Although some deleveraging is both inevitable and desirable, its precise impact depends on the nature, pace and scale of the asset-shedding," the IMF said.
In the near term, the IMF said more ECB action than the central bank has said it wants--including lower interest rates and more cheap loans--is likely warranted. It is urging euro-zone leaders to speed up bank restructuring and new rules for winding down failed banks. Also, the fund said Europe should be prepared to back bank write-downs of bad debt with its emergency bailout funds and inject capital directly into banks. To this end, Europe's recent expansion of its firewall capacity was "an important first step," the fund said.
But the European Union also needs to begin developing credible plans for greater economic unity and sharing risks between members, the IMF said. It recommends euro-zone bonds or bills, a plan that has so far gained little traction in regional economic and political powerhouse Germany.
The IMF said most emerging markets could withstand a moderate shrinkage of euro bank-balance sheets. But, the fund cautioned, "their resilience could be tested in a downside scenario, notably in emerging Europe."
