The ultimate doomsday chart*

Cheeky Bastard's picture




 

You have a vast amount of gold buried in your backyard and are in the final stages of planning for the imminent collapse of the monetary system, but are also addicted to beef and what troubles your mind is; how can I know will the gold I own buy me enough beef to satisfy my craving. But you despise hunting wild cows which will roam trough vast unpopulated areas where once stood great American centers of finance and power. Worry not; the solution is here; Gold-2-Cow chart. The ultimate doomsday indicator which will allow you to continue your doomsday planning without a worry on your mind. Thank you gecko_X2 for showing me this most hilarious chart ever. If you want to track the chart daily or if you are a gold/livestock hedge fund you can find the chart here.

Funnily enough the UK's biggest gold trader went off to become a dairy farmer....throughout history, back to Rameses in Egypt...grain price rises come after gold.

I guess this guy checks the gold to cow ratio daily.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/6998811/...

Top gold trader Graham Birch quits to run UK dairy farm

Mr Birch, who had been on sabbatical since March and was scheduled to return at the beginning of this year, will now run his 2,300-acre farm in Dorset full time.

“I want to take a break from the City,” Birch told Bloomberg on Friday. "[Farming] takes up most of my time now.”

The World Gold Fund, co-managed by Evy Hambro, has outperformed its benchmark index in nine of the last 10 years.

It invests in natural resources equities and held almost $6.9bn of ssets at the end of last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The Luxembourg-listed shares rose from $5.82 at the end of 2000 to $52.27 on Friday.

Birch also managed or co-managed BlackRock’s World Mining Trust, Agriculture Hedge Fund and Natural Resources Hedge Fund. He began his career as a mining equity analyst with Panmure Gordon in 1984, with similar roles at Kleinwort Benson Securities and Ord Minnett.

He also worked for Mercury Asset Management and Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, which merged with BlackRock in 2006.

His farm produces 3m liters (792,500 gallons) of milk a year and supplies Dairy Crest Group Plc, the UK’s biggest milk and cheese producer.

One of my jokes is telling my trading friends that I am going way long on pork bellies and that I am going to start a short squeeze by demanding delivery! AND that I am going to store them in my apartment and make a killing come july during barbeque season.

Maybe this cow chart will help me somehow.

You should not give a flying fuck to what we do or do not think. We are here to give you a picture you probably will not see anywhere else. Always be sceptical, and dont rely on others to guide you trough everyday life. Evaluate, analyze and make up your own mind by weighing on both sides of the argument. Throw away your perceptions, burn your dogmas on the cross which gave birth to them and enter the Desert of The Real, and for the love of God, try to have some fun while you're at it.

 

PS. If it was unclear what the purpose of this post was, please read the disclaimer at the bottom of the article.

Corrections Corp. Shows Crime Pays With Private Jails

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=afUjtigKCvRI&pos=12

With about 2.3 million people in prisons and jails, the U.S. has the most convicts of any country, according to the International Centre for Prison Studies at King’s College London. The U.S. prison population rate of 756 per 100,000 people ranks higher than Russia’s (629 per 100,000) and Rwanda’s (604 per 100,000), and is also the highest in the world.

Looks good.

In Brooklyn, the snakeheads are going around doing all-cash acquisitions of real estate. They're digging in. None of them follow labor laws, so they're vulnerable to shakedowns. However, the NYPD doesn't patrol in that area.

I suspect one good way to provide legal services to them will be to figure out some method of giving them non-profit status, using the Hasidic community as an example. That'll enable them to remain, forestall street violence, and maintain a healthy supply chain into New York City.

If anyone listening cares, of course - we may have to become accustomed to working with intermittent power here. If NYC munis get hit, Con Ed will play with the switches again.

Talk about getting back to basics.  Although it does require maintenance livestock is mobile, somewhat self sustaining, capable of growth and constantly in demand.  For these reasons it became (in nascent Western Civ. anyway) one of the first universal stores of value.  "Capitis" is "head" in Latin. How many head of cattle, sheep, goats etc.  soon became synonymous with the concept of how much "capital" (stuff that begets other stuff - The Economist) one had. 

We laugh but since gold is another obvious universal store of value, how much gold per livestock animal is probably the world's first financial ratio.

i put on the Moo:Cow spread a while back. MOO is a basket of agricultural companies, and COW is two livestock futures contracts, one beef, and one hogs, a ratio of paper assets to their underlying product. Now if Apple stock is going up but they have no pricing power, there's trouble. And naturally during financial crisis the hard assets outperform their corporate manufacturer.

a hundred years ago wealth was measured in land, cattle and gold. just like some analysts measure gold against the mining companies, drillers against the oil companies. but gold against livestock, that's the same thing really.

A higher Gold to Cow ratio is best for all of us who like to eat them...

Cows, that is... Since we all know that it is physically impossible to eat Gold or even get food in exchange for Gold. However, Kudlow is preaching a different sermon tonight.

I hope that that Au/Beef goes to the Moooo...n.

Whoa now fellas and fillies, I just read the fine print. You can't actually take physical delivery of your cows, unless you can afford a 400 cow herd. Now most of us small time wranglers don't have the physical storage room for that many, but I guess I'm getting off the subject (which is better than getting off on the cows! )

The other part of the fine print that caught my eye was the fact that the funds auditors aren't responsible for physically counting said hefers, rather they can simply take the rancer's word for the count.

Lastly, did you know they can legally lend or lease out your cow? This seems kind of weird because what happens if they lease out my best milk cow, sucker dry right about the time I need some milk? Do I then need to borrow someone elses cow to get my milk? This is sounding more like a government bailout program by the minute!

I've said enough. Guess I'll Mooove on.

Cattle prices (for beef) are up because of the hard winter. We recently got $1.22 a pound for a 450 pound calf, a very good East Texas auction price. The rest were a $1.18 or so. Last year it was around $1.00. So, 3 calves and one pregnant cow brought $2,000, or about 2 ¼ head per gold coin.  If you want grass fed and no chemicals, bring your gold over and I will fill your freezer. NO Euros please.!
