The ultimate doomsday chart*
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.

I thought ZH was more than just a Blog! I get humor, but I don't come here for humor. I know things are getting very bad, so I get the humor, what else is left. Your health and the ability to feed yourself.
Dude, you're crampin' my buzz.
One old saw i haven't heard in awhile is "an ounce of gold can buy a new suit." These days an ounce can buy a couple of decent suits ( four at Men's Warehouse ) at least. So, does that mean gold is actually overpriced ?
1. Yes, gold is overpriced due to excessive demand via speculators, which will not speculate at the time the economy improves, leading to an early 1980's scenario for Gold.
2. Some of the suits at men's wearhouse aren't "decent", comparatively speaking.
3. The true price of gold is between 600-900 an ounce. It will get there again.
It means industrialism and economies of scale have made goods cheaper.
It means Men's Warehouse sells crap!
Or cows underpriced, perhaps??
Yes, but how many wives can I buy with 10 cows? Need a wives-to-cows chart please.

@ 3:50 for negotiation tips; see how the father thinks.
Hey, you're overturning the whole dowry concept. It's HER family that is supposed to give YOU the cows.
But, since you are asking, perhaps it should be one cow per inch of phallus. If you have 20, or are pushing that many, clearly, you're over-compensating.
Wait, the woman is supposed to provide the cows?!? Oh, damn ... I've been doing it wrong this whole time!!!
Damn..covered my euro shorts early this morning at 1.2672 fearing some sort of intervention...Bruce was dead right at the slow guided Euro destruction....if the bugger bounces, I'm adding more.
Euro taking a little siesta now at 1.263 (been as low as in recent minutes 1.2613) and soon will take out 1.25. Hmm, I wonder if Euro going to 1.15 or parody with dollar will have any impacts on US exports? Hmm (sarcasm). Repatriating earnings? Hmm. But on the bright side, lets all go on a cheap Euro vacation.
Parody with the dollar... I think that says it all
The stay at the airport might be a tad longer. Dont forget to wash the ash off ur feet before u come back stateside.
Have a friend that is responsilbe for international portion of this US company, reports to CFO...all I keep seeing in my mind is her sitting with her head in her hands, peeking out ...too scared to call her now...she said 2009 that 2008 strong dollar was rough on the profits...I told her it would get way worse and asked in puppy dog naivete, can't you hedge against that? I don't think she liked the question...
Goldman sez: Why cash in fake gold paper to buy the cow when you get the taxpayer milk for free?
Figures, just when I got good at smoking beef ribs on the Big Steel Keg and now the world will collapse. Cosmic irony. Well at least those rolls of junk silver dimes and quarters will be easy to barter with.
Like to see gold-to-beans. LOL
The long beans phys delivery trade never runs out of gas.
I don't think these guys would approve.

Can you trade live cattle without losing a .01 ?
goldman can
Hillary did...
this is probably only for cash settlements and not physical delivery. There is some form exploitable spread to arbitrage for sure if you demand physical delivery.
But what about a 'synthetic' live cattle..er..cow, hide? I'm having trouble with mark-to-market.
synthetic trades? pleather or vinyl trade
Use mark-to-model and turn a loss into a 500% profit.
BAM!!!! thats how its done baby.
LOL
Bingo! Brilliant. Bonus please.
A good milking shorthorn cow costs about the same as one ounce of gold. I know, having recently purchased both.
Possibly the best chart ever.
I will have to show to coworkers with a straight face...and watch as hilarity ensues.
Epic.
It looks like the 50 and 200 dma's crossed, but stoch is not yet embedded and I think I see a reverse H&S forming right before the C count of a wave 2 up. So this means I should set up a pair and arb the spread, hedging it by going long FCOJ and shorting NEM.
Thank GOD, cheeky is back! I am a fan.
But are those physical cows, or just paper cows?
I only wanna cash in gold for unencumbered cows!
(And if this gold:cow ratio goes up, is that bullish?)
Paper cows are sure to decouple....think I'm joking?
JPM sells scratch n sniff cow paper ETFS at a discount to real cows.
And I've got one moooore, head of caaattle. But I'm not gonna let them catch me no, not gonna let them catch the mid night raaancher!
Cheeky--would appreciate your input for the ZH Fundraiser Zazzle store...you can send me images through the store or just yak at me here.

Howard-
Are you able to just do the tshirts like the original ones for ZH that aren't available anymore?
The ZH T-Shirts are back in stock now.
I have had SO many requests for this I cannot tell you. So far, I have not received an answer to my request for the logo so I can't do it as of this time.
Mr Beale, i have been unable to find a mailing address for ZH. I have a 10oz silver to donate to ZH. Dont have cash in bank and dont trust internet and am serious.
Thanks in advance for any answer.
You are the coolest MH.
+1
Better than doelarrs! Goes up in value overnite.*
Need bovine silver dollars!
They could be called 'Bovine Excrements' in increments of cow pies. Hell, they could be shaped that way too. It'll give a whole new meaning to 'giving a shit'; 'give two shits' and 'I could give a shit, but I won't (for those who hate or despise donating to charitable causes)'.
Hell, Canada has it's 'Loonie', this could be the 'Shitter'. In more ways than one (wink)
This is what happens when I drink and Zero Hedge.
Where's my freakin' ZH T-shirt? Ghhhhod.
You're gay.
Hilarious! Can I CDS rare vs. medium well?
