Several Exponential Charts
We'll let the charts do the talking this time.
Consolidated "developed world" relative devaluation...
Standalone devaluation and projected 1
Standalone devaluation and projected 2
Add China's money supply...
And China's reserves...
Which brings us to this. Will the exponential growth end? If not, following the yellow brick road.

I first saw this a few years ago. I didn't personally need the math lesson, but he makes the point better than most that:
Anything compounded consistently will result in a bubble, or in the examples from nature, collapse.

"Well worth the 1-2 hours to view all eight segments."

Can't we just take away a few decimal places?
Si se fucking puede - just ask the Brazilians (1989-1991) (Cruzados, Cruzeros) and the Zimbabweans.
Got Ameros? No? Then some metals might be of interest?
It's truly amazing how long this bamboozlement has gone on, really amazing.
You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you CAN fool all the sheeple most every time.
Don't know about the rest of you, but I take offence at being labeled Sheele, Peons, and Peasants and I'm tired of taking it in the ass for their benefit.

The ride up the first big roller coaster hill is slow and steady, almost calming.
That's where we are right now...............
Yes, I totally agree, a must see for anyone who gives an owls ass.
YES!!!
For several decades I have been worrying about the insanity of apparently endless exponential growth, ending in overshoot, and thus, ending in catastrophic collapses. However, everyone that benefits from driving more exponential growth has all the money and power under that system to continue to do it ... whereas, the reality of overshoot, and then collapsing to chaos, ONLY "exists" now to the degree that one has enough intelligence, imagination and information to be able to see that.
Evolving a human and industrial ecology that does not automatically destroy itself appears to be practically impossible at the present time. We appear required to ride the roller coaster of doubling our population and activities one too many times, then, after it collapses, doing that again, and again, on some lesser scales, unless, perhaps, we finally evolved social and political means to stop doing that as badly, over and over again.
However, for now, those who benefit the most in the short-term from maximizing their own ability to defraud and rob have every advantage within the established systems to continue to do that more and more and more ... The biggest bullies' continue to be popular, and too many people still believe in their bullshit.
Learning more, to be able to imagine the future better, does not do anything much to prevent that still happening, as long as enough people contrinue to not want to do that, while small but powerful, groups work hard to make sure that collectively we never will do that.
There is a deliberate war against consciousness, to prevent people from understanding the mathematics of exponential growth. To quote another commenter, we are controlled by mathemagicians, not by mathematics.
We live our lives according to beliefs in Huge Lies, which got going by being backed up with violence. Thus, we have a fundamentally fraudulent financial accounting system, privatized fiat money-as-debt, which reduces understanding all of the rest of the real world to garbage in, garbage out. Everything we decide to do is done by using a bent rubber ruler, as our money system, to assess that decision.
There is no signs that will get any better. Instead, those who made and maintained that system are eager to gamble on starting a world war, with the risk of out-of-control use of weapons of mass destruction, in order to back up their demented bookkeeping system, where money in the bank could reproduce faster than anything else, like fish in the sea, or oil in the ground, or anything else actually real could!
Since we are controlled by trimphant frauds, we are rushing at exponential growth, towards overshoot, and collapsing to chaos, as fast as we possibly can! Those who are driving us all to do that CAN because they were the best at being dishonest and violent in the past, which has enabled them to have the social position and prestige that they enjoy today. By the time we discover how wrong we all were, it will be way, way too late!
At least after we are totally wiped out financially we won't be able to continuously drive our gas guzzling SUV's so the fucking planet just might get a respite because of that.
I'll spray as many CFCs into the ozone as I possibly can to compensate.
Pray tell, when are we going to start finding the SUV's that prehistoric man drove that got us out of the last ice age?

''The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function''
I see ''The Risen Fractal''. My question to you is, is there meaning, yes or no? If you say ''yes'' please explain. If you say ''no'', is that not because you do not understand the exponential function still?
We will be all millionaires, bitchez.
Offish topic but related, Freebird in a hurry. Where can one buy a UTG in Miami area? Anyone, anyone...a..n...y..o...n...e... Bitchez
?
Brought one on amazon dot com this morning. Have used Fisch in the past. The prices of the Fisch are currently high and you may just opt for a UTG. Maybe with the latest salting scare the Fisch will become cheaper. They are plastic. When I scuba dive to where the boat sank I'll start testing with the UTG.
sorry, can't help you on that, but I am curious what a UTG is. Google just showed it as a company name.
Google does not cope well with context - search for "UTG gold silver", and it will become quickly apparent that it means Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge.
Epay has dozens of listings for them. Buy the one with velocity capabilities to test the density of your PM. Gold and tungsten havedifferent values.There are some that use gel toto block out ambient factors. The GM100 generic seems the most reasonable, unless you have a mini fort knox. MADE IN CHINA.
Thank you brethren
Obviously bet the Fed, ECB and BoJ is very risky. I would say that it is irresponsible and has many risks. However, we do not know which will be the consecuancias or when we begin to see them. For my part, I think there maintain investments and be alert to changing trends. Markets may begin to rise significantly. But then they could drop significantly. In both situations, we can make money. But we have to be in the market. People who decide to stay outside, you risk losing your wealth.
You Believe so, but, but, what happens when all markets freezes at the same time ? instantly .. one weekend on Sunday night you learn that your money is locked in a bank or in a financial instrument an there is a banking holiday following week and later on you can kiss and say goodby to your all money... it will blow out.. think about it...
Incorrect. There was no simulataneous possession, bitchez.

Huge rave dude.
There's smoke and sirens and shit. Must be pretty wild because the cops are beating the crap out of people and nobody...and I mean nobody is fighting back. Like watching a farmer tend a flock of geese.
Couple of the spanish Redditor's have connectivity established and are reporting if anyone wants to talk to them. Locations and redditor status are confirmed
They are reporting right now that the rave now has lasers lights and fire crackers are being reported.

Something is happening in Italy. Looking for clean source to share.
Shit something in Argentina as well....how'd I miss that.
http://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2012/09/25/cristina-fernandez-de-kirchner-mi-pais-no-es-un-cuadro-de-futbol-es-una-nacion-soberana/
If you don't know Spanish or just don't want to read, the IMF told Argentina to get their economy in order in 3 months or else, Cristina told them that "EL FONDO MONETARIO INTERNACIONAL ES ARGENTINO" and that they were not like that with the economy of Spain or Greece. She also told the UN that USA is trying to commit "political assassination" against Argentina...weird I thought Argentina was off the shit list.
Someone needs oil badly if they are putting the screws to them. Expect oil to jump and car parts to get pricey.
Dood, what does Argentina, IMF and oil have in common ? NOT MUCH!
Argentina told the IMF to fuck OFF one night in december 2001. Did you miss the news?
They just told them to fuck off again , and they will tell them to FUCK OFF again in three month.
I personally dislike K the bitch very much. I also lost a million paper dollars on that original FUCK OFF. but it is nice to tell the IMF to fuck oFF. Greeks are pussies , i thought more of them.....
Argentina...appearently they won't hand over their books to the IMF.. Lagarde doesn't believe them. lol. Oh well, what does the IMF have to do with Oil. Well...well...wells. They don't drill themselves and there is production in Argentina. Tiny, but it's there.

My point, of course, is that this risk is the best tool we could ask for to rid ourselves of this disasterous institution, finally. Simply apply pressure to the leverage wound...and presto.

call me crazy but you know ETFs that seem to actually trade based on fundamentals and NOT algos? Russia.. I was looking at the direxion..RUSL/RUSS .. hey something that actually seems to trade like a "market" and not a rigged casino. anyone look at year chart of those and say im delusional?
"The Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and
expenses, of 300% of the inverse (or opposite) of the performance
of the Market Vectors Russia Index. The Fund seeks daily
leveraged investment results and does not seek to achieve
its stated investment objective over a period of time greater
than one day. The Fund is different and much riskier than most
exchange-traded funds."

Absolutely.
Private ownership of gold may be beneficial for those who own it in light of inflation and printing and a universal security; however, that prosperity could be short lived if economic policies cause a collapse of the currency.
And regardless the political ramifications, gold does not have the ability to save the economy because as a currency most people do not own it.
Bill Fleckenstein wrote in mid-January of 2011 that he did not believe there was deep participation in the gold market. Said Fleckenstein:
“On that subject, I thought Marc Faber's most recent Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, headlined, ‘The end game has begun,’ was most interesting.
“Marc started off by discussing this fact: As he does speaking engagements around the world in front of hundreds, if not thousands, of people at a time, when he asks how many own gold, just a few hands usually go up. I note this for the same reason he gives: ‘I'm asking myself -- and I have done so for the past few months -- why, 10 years into a bull market, the vast majority of people still don't own any gold?’”

It's the end of the world
Even gold was down
It was a buying opportunity. You deef?
Exponential is good, it means even the sheep will notice eventually.
The difference beween weimar and now is that in Germany people were told repeatedly that it was the dollar that was appreciating, and that more marks had to be printed so that people could still purchase things, which were rising rapidly in price.
At least now some of the sheeple will be able to understand the truth in time to save some of their wealth.
If C/Bs can no longer pull the inflation genie trick without dishoarding tons of gold, Might not that be the end of the road for Central Banking.
We can only hope

Gold is going lower, MUCH LOWER, just as George Soros said at $1565 on CNBC as he was replacing his (sold) position into panic liquidation by the NY/London hedge funds en route to a $200 uptick.

Why should gold track the Fed BS and China FX reserves? I can see that it correlates but I don't see why.

Some ideas, like fire, coins and integrated circuits, are both universal and useful. Other ideas, such as fractional reserve banking, are more useful to only a small percentage of people than to the larger percentage. Burdensome ideas are meant to be and will be replaced when the tools exist to replace them.

Shit, what am I going to do with my fifty pounds of numismatic silver that I 'lost' in a sand storm? (we don't have many lakes out here other than dry ones) Wind was over 125 mph...amazing how shit blew away....lost my shirt, literally.
I was amazed at how fast that silver shit piled up over the years. My decision to get silver eagles for every year going back to the reinstitution of them, then the additional Morgans, the silver mint proofs...took a hell of a loss. Didn't claim it on the tax forms because I didn't claim the purchase. (same as the .45's, 12 ga double ought, .30 cal and the various tools that use them) A minor police report is all that was necessary.
Oh, that drug house three doors down from you? Talk to them, you may find sources of items of interest that you might wish to keep unrecorded. Things no one claims or knows about. Bring cash...definitely recommended.

A quick review shows some very disturbing trends.
An obvious uptrend in radiation is spreading across the country, with some areas seeing scary high levels. Something happened around Sept 17th.
Rule of thumb is that exposure to 100 CPM clicks per minute for a year results in a real risk of cancer, 500 CPM for 90 days is a real risk.
Many places are now up over 100,
25 is "normal" we just don't get that much lower. And back in the day, before Fuku, 50% to 66% of us got cancer, what will the new normal be.
