Stocks & Crude Drop, Bonds & Bullion Pop, Gold Tops $1200

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The ubiquitous opening ramp into the US equity open has given way rapidly and stocks are testing earlier lows - along with WTI Crude (as energy stocks lead the way lower). Silver is surging higher (up almost 3%) and Gold is back above $1200. USDJPY broke below 120.00 and is weighing heavy on stocks broadly.

 

So much for the Santa Rally...

 

Silver surging

 

Gold tops $1200

 

 

as crude and stocks tumble...

In a reset there will always be collateral damage. Look at the French Revolution, do you think that all those who got the guillotine deserved so? The elites probably already own most of the productive assets, and PMs, the masses will come first for you and me. `In 1994, former President Bill Clinton released an executive order that lumped together a number of laws that could go into effect in the event of a declaration of martial law. One of the laws included in this order, number 10998, allows the federal government to sieze hoarded food supplies from both public and private sources.` Read more : http://www.ehow.com/facts_7640872_federal-antihoarding-law.html In a reset scenario we be fucked my friend. PS The elites most likely have very big guns and taxpayer financed enforcers to protect against zombified masses.

Did you pay those supplies with your credit card? Ordered on-line from those `survival` pages? The .gov has it all logged, timestamped and geo-tagged in that big server in Utah. So we be fucked.

Gold is the best hedge for the deflation scenario.

I'm a novice.... what happens to the gold price if we are headed to a deflationary period with economies tanking? Doesn't gold go down also? Or... I thought gold was a hedge against INFLATION, so what happens with deflation? Like I said, I'm a novice...

Gold (in physical form, outside the banking system) has no counterparty risk, that is why its a hedge in both deflation and inflation. Gold is also a store of wealth.

I get your point, and I do hold some physical gold and have been whipsawed the last 2 yrs with it. Meanwhile have some debt that I am servicing and wondering if I sell into any rally, pay down the debt, buy gold back later if deflation is going to bring it down (in USD terms).

Deflation is not possible in our financial system. Everything would blow up. The price of paper gold is irrelevant. If you decide to buy gold look at it as a 10 year investment.

What blows my mind is how those mf'ers, Opec and Big Oil, kept the price of oil near 100 bucks for years even as demand slid and production ramped up. Finally a month or so ago- OPEC announces they will not cut production and instead of a marginal decrease to 80.00 or 75.00 a barrel- the price of oil gets cut in half in less than a month.

Love to see who was on the short side of this trade. Same as it ever was.

A sad statement when we cheer on the crash.  Yes, we all must have some glimmer of what THE CRASH will mean to millions of people......but we stackers have been living on the edge for too long, and we seek at least some proof that our vigilence was correct....its only human. 

God help us all when we are proven right.

Such reports, and conclusions, should be written at the end of a trading session, not 30 minutes into it.

I did not say it was good news, or bad news.

Certainly, it is an important datapoint.

All I want is objectivity.

Mainstream media: everything is wonderful

ZH: the end of the world is near.

Unbiased info? Nowhere to be found.

If you want good news go read Bloomburg and Yahoo. People come here for the contrarian position; it is incorrect sometimes, but an antithesis to ubiquitous financial news saying everything is fine. Everything is not fine and you know it.

IMO, unbiased is difficult to attain. Information is coming thru a filter (reporter, editor, blogger, etc) and into your own filter, where you process it and make your own determinations on whether it is BS or not. The point is to keep your head screwed on straight, be aware of different viewpoints, make your own determinations on what is "right", and learn as you go. At least that's what I try to do, and a lot more of what makes sense to me is ZH, not mainstream.

gold has been capped at $1200 the whole time oil has crashed and gold stocks have gone nowhere, that normally means gold is headed down, not up.  As long as the dollar rises, gold isn't going anywhere.  Gold failed at $1321 this summer and that was all she wrote, it's been horrible for anyone holding gold ever since.   If you want gold to go back up, you better cheer for oil to $100 again otherwise gold is headed to about $650 as a barrel of oil is way underpriced in gold right now.  Historically an ounce of gold buys 12-13 bbl of oil.  Right now one ounce of gold is buying about 24 bbl oil.  So gold is overpriced by 2x.

Oh horseshit. Oil has been artificially pushed down and is trading at a level to punish weak shale hands and anything not Saudi. Gold paper price and physical prices are decoupling in major ways. Silver sells for 25 an ounce in shops and they rarely keep it in. You are going to be set for a rude awakening here real soon. Gold and oil are both being traded at levels that meet the price of production and refelct no reality whatsoever. If it were not for futures and paper pricing, these physical commodities would be higher. It's financial chicanery and that is why they parade trolls like you out to the comment boards.

Anyone who did their Master's on Alinsky-who she met once by letter- has bought into some variation of Marxism-Leninism.

What is the practical difference between Fascism and Communism?

The Fascists allow oligarchs to profit as long as it meets the requirements of the state.
The Communists own all production outright via the Communist Party.

Hitler allowed businessmen to do business- within party rules. The economy was good.

Morons like Communists kill the businessmen then try to run everything themselves. The result is: Venezuela.

But! Resistance to either System gets a vacation in the Camps or a bullet to the head.
