Bloomberg Headline Of The Day

Tyler Durden's picture




While we wait, and wait, and wait for the neverending story out of Athens to finally end, we present some comic relief. Not even sure where to start with this headline du jour from Bloomberg, there is just so much 101% concentrated #win here...

  • GOLD WILL RISE TO $1,250 IF EURO ZONE ENDS, ECONOMIST SAYS

Ph.D, baby. Ph.D.

The thing is... people aren't interested in gold... it's not backed by anything.  The dollar, on the other hand, is backed by the federal reserve.  There is still time to convert your relics to something you can use.

Apples should be compared to apples. Gold is honest money and something that one will be able to use to acquire any available goods or services when the shit hits the fan (as history has proven several times). It was never intended to be eaten... who in his right mind was hoping to eat it? Thus, comparing apples to apples (in terms of a medium of exchange), applying your logic, can you eat fiat money? Hell no! Thus, try to acquire and store guns, gold, silver, food and other necessities, don't reject any of these, especially not based on lame excuses for inaction or whatever your true reasons might be for rejecting gold. I apologize in advance if I've got the cat by its tail or if this offends you in any way, but we must get passed the point where excuses such as "you can't eat gold" get uttered, because it perfectly serves the interests of our current masters.

According a new FBI report, comparing apples to apples is a terrorist red flag.  You should compare apples to oranges or more appropriately, bananas.

Dec. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Gold, in the 11th year of its longest winning streak in at least nine decades, is poised to enter a bear market, according to Dennis Gartman, who correctly predicted the slump in commodities in 2008.

The metal, which traded at $1,666.30 an ounce at 2:43 p.m. in London, may decline to as low as $1,475, the economist wrote today in his Suffolk, Virginia-based Gartman Letter. He sold the last of his gold yesterday. Bullion has already dropped 13 percent from the record $1,921.15 reached Sept. 6 and $1,475 would extend that to more than 20 percent, the common definition of a bear market.
