dang it!..I need to buy silver before it gets above $18 again. Gold is just too high for my taste.

That's why silver is called, "The Poor Man's Gold", and why silver will rise substantially as the price of gold moves higher.

Option expiry on gold and silver today. With massive gold 1200 calls and silver 18 calls set to expire today, I expect these prices to hold until the close, and then take off.

Look at the market action last month around gold/silver expiry. Options expired one day apart last month. Without checking the details, I believe silver options expired on a Tuesday, and gold options on a Wednesday. Silver skyrocketed on Wednesday, the day after the silver options expired. Gold failed to track this move up until Thursday, the day after the gold options expired.

Things are getting panicky with the liquidity cart,

when CNBC rolls out Ric "Iceland's fine" Mishkin for his soothing insights.... :-)

That is the real headline this morning and not the North Korean red herring being pumped by the MSM.

Whatever it is, they'll simultaneously announce a test of the new liquidity-withdrawal system.

Whatever it is, they'll simultaneously announce a test of the new liquidity-withdrawal system.

And they'll show that's as simple as putting the toothpaste back, no problem.

reading the rules of the Monopolpy Game, it says...."if the bank runs out of money, it can use any piece of paper and write the amount of the denomiation needed to settle the account debt or loan".

WOW...it is really that easy, and we didn't know it.

the simple truth of fiat currencies under our very noses in a child's game.  Who needs reserves, or capital to backstop derivative losses, when it can simply be printed?

They still dont get it, do they. The more they fight us, the worse it will get before it starts getting better again.

Didn't Merkel say last year how she's "very critical of the US Fed's measures". Now she should go on record and say "Thanks Bernanke for bailing out our broke a**es".

There is no debt that can't be paid with newly printed money.

Translation: We're going to put another bunch of burlap bags full of $400 billion and throw that into the bonfire and see what pretty colors emerge.

"Yes Dave?"

"Hal, I'll gladly pay you Tuesday if you'll please open to Pod Bay door today."

"What's wrong Dave. Liquidity pinch?"

"Oh fuck you Hal"

"No...fuck YOU Dave."

Gee - I'd say the words "liquidity" and "solvency" are downright interchangeable anymore.

Do they still actually call people for "margin calls"?  If so, I would hate to be working in that department today.  Chances are those idiots will liquidate their gold holdings to leverage up more AIG and C.

Gay.  They've just lost an undisclosed amount of TPM (tax payer's money) on their most recent EUR pump, which quickly reversed and now they want to burn some more of other people's cash?!?!
