Gold: 1980 vs Today
When gold was undergoing its latest (and certainly not greatest) near-parabolic move last year, there were those pundits consistently calling for comparisons to 1980, and the subsequent gold crash. Yet even a simplistic analysis indicates that while in the 1980s gold was a hedge to runaway inflation, in the current deflationary regime, it is a hedge to central planner stupidity that will result as a response to runaway deflation. In other words, it is a hedge to what happens when the trillions in central bank reserves (at last check approaching 30% of world GDP). There is much more, and we have explained the nuances extensively previously, but for those who are only now contemplating the topic of gold for the first time, the following brief summary from futuremoneytrends.com captures the salient points. Far more importantly, it also focuses on a topic that so far has not seen much media focus: the quiet and pervasive expansion in bilateral currency agreements which are nothing short of a precursor to dropping the dollar entirely once enough backup linkages are in place: a situation which will likely crescendo soon courtesy of upcoming developments in Iran, discussed here previously.

From the Telegraph.
Congratulations to Iceland.
Fitch has upgraded the country to investment grade BBB – with stable outlook, expecting government debt to peak at 100pc of GDP.The OECD's latest forecast said growth will be 2.4pc this year, after 2.9pc in 2011.Unemployment will fall from 7pc last year to 6.1pc this year and then 5.3pc in 2013.The current account deficit was 11.2pc in 2010. It will shrink to 3.4pc this year, and will be almost disappear next year.
Ther terrists
Gold was competing against 8% real returns on treasuries. That ain't so this time. The opportunity costs of owing gold are zero. When real rates go positive, I pay attention. I should add that interest rates and gold both maxed out within months of each other in 1980; anybody who thinks gold tops the second treasuries start falling (rates rising) doesn't know their history.
I would strongly urge readers NOT to sign up for the "Future Money Trends" newsletter, which is what this video is selling. This is a website run by the same pump-n-dump NIA guys that Peter Schiff has repeatedly warned his followers about. While I regard ZeroHedge as one of my favorite places on the internet, i think that promoting known scam artists subtracts from the overall quality of this site, even if they offer the same flavor of doom/gloom that ZH readers are looking for. I know that ZeroHedge is free, so I really don't have any right to complain, but I would hope that we would be warned of guys like this, rather than be led to them.
After several lawsuits, the guys at NIA/FMT were forced to warn their subscribers with hilariously blunt warnings. At the beginning of their disclaimer, it reads: "...never make an investment decision off of anything we say." *LOL* And they conclude their disclaimer with the same thing: "never base any decision off their website or emails." It also reads, "our activities involve actual conflicts of interest."
This is probably my favorite part of the disclaimer: "we receive monetary or securities compensation in the very securities we are promoting and shortly after...... we sell the securities during our promotional activities or thereafter."
*LOL* Basically, the lawsuits forced them to admit to being a pump-n-dump operation.
These guys are bad news. And, yes, that's a double entendre.
I hope this comment isn't taken the wrong way. As I said, I thoroughly enjoy ZH. I just don't like to see pump-n-dump scammers being promoted.

Didn't Daniel leave NIA a while back? I know there was some thing with Shiff calling out NIA.
It's all over.....send all your golds to us.....vee will dispose of it in a safe and environmentally conscience manner.

Speaking of creepy dual intentioned web sites, what's the deal with "ABC Media, LLC" on the bottom of the ZeroHedge web pages (in the copyright footer). Ummmmmn, please don't tell us that the MSM got a hold of this last bastion of hope. This isn't the ABC I fear it is, it is????

Its because he's from " Neuw Yourk " the people who invented the phrase " you fuckan assshole". :)
I knew I recognised the voice on the video.
but wrt to the videos they basically steal Schiff's commentary and put it to video, so the videos are usually good, just the sign-up-to-our-offers are dodgy.

Rare triple post. Nice.
Iceland is winning! Not according to this and the advent of vulture banksters. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=27673
Iceland and its new elephant in the room
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=27673
A good find. When the Icelandic banks were resurrected, the government handed the new ones over to creditors of the old ones. Outstanding debt became shares in the new banks. In the meantime, vulture funds had bought all the old debt for pennies on the dollar (6 cents a dollar on average apparently) and now own the new Icelandic banks. The new banks basically own everything in Iceland because private and corporate equity was wiped out during the crash - so now Iceland belongs to 20 vulture funds or so. The identity of these funds is apparently a state secret but among them are the follwing according to some credible inside info:
York Capital
TGP Investments LLC
Anchorage Capital Partners
Arrowgrass
Cyrus Capital Partners
Centerbridge
Davidson Kempner
Fortelus
Tiger Management
Verition Group LLC
The neoliberal Icelandic government is negotiating an EU entry and this makes it vulnerable for outside pressure from the international financial elite, particularly the IMF, which now dictates economic policy in Iceland. As usual, IMF has ordered the Icelandic government to 1) defend the new banks at all cost and 2) privatize everything in sight. The privatization plans haven't gone over well in Iceland and the government periodically tests the waters to see what it can get away with. Examples:
- The government is trying to seize fishing quotas owned by fishing companies (worth 1-5 billion dollars depending on how it's calculated)
- The government is testing the waters regarding the sale of the national power company (Landsvirkjun)
- The government has from time to time 'discussed' changing roads built for public funds into toll roads
- The government has gone to extreme lenghts to use taxpayer money to pay for the Icesave debt (which belongs to Landsbanki bank) - despite the fact that its posessions are sufficient to pay the debt (which means that vulture funds wouldn't get anything) :-(
Despite massive cuts in public spending and massive tax increases, the current public deficit it 10% of GNP - meaning that there is no actual growth or recovery. Every single extra penny earned in foreign currencies is used to pay foreign public debt which "magically" went up to 90% of GDP from nothing (it may be far more though because the public figures are very inconsistent - i.e. state secret like the identity of the vulture funds).
So, to summarize, the Icelandic people have been stripped of most assets and are now slaves to the international financial system. Their government works for said system and acts as a debt collector. Could be better but it could have been worse too. It could have been an EU member like Greece in which case it would be crushed under the German/Brussels boot, it would still have grossly overvalued currency and it could have taken on the Icesave debt. In that case Iceland would be in the same exact position as Greece - basically in ruins.
the larger powers would have used military options against them had they refused.
ADL targets Iceland - Another Norway Massacre in the makingFuck Abe Foxman and fuck the ADL
In other news "Brazil was upgraded for the first time in 27 years last year after sticking it to the man in 1985." Like i said: "we have Hyman Minsky banks now." Good luck financing your country!
"Fitch has upgraded the country to investment grade BBB – with stable outlook, expecting government debt to peak at 100pc of GDP."
This means nothing. The rating agencies reward or punish Iceland based on how closely they follow IMF instructions. Examples:
1) "You are not accepting the Icesave debt (which would crush your country)? We better downgrade you."
2) "You are spending (wasting) your foreign currency reserves to pay to carry trade gamblers locked in because of capital controls. Good boys! Here's an upgrade!"
The second example is the reason for the Fitch upgrade btw.

When 1oz of gold buys the Dow like in 1932 & 1980 that's the real bottom.
DOW 4000 Gold 4000?
and don't forget S&P500 at 400.
and Silver will also be at $400.
I am not sure if silver will ever reach 400.
My attitude and morale is rather low after watching these little .80 cent pops and drops every time the word Greece is said. Then it settles to a base day after day after day.
It's almost like I will have to go into Gold to make 30.00 or whatever (Or lose it) than .10, .30 after fees...
There are times to put the boots on the ground and more often times of waiting and wanting to chew them...
But if it did get to 400.... That would make gold around 5000 and I would be standing up next to the house looking at the land of yellow...
I think we all are a ant farm, digging upwards to find new lands to dig new homes only to learn more sand is added or taken away...
Of course silver will get to 400$, and even more than that !
Silver's 1980 high adjusted to inflation is 517$ today and situation is worse today than it was in 1980.
Silver should be 1000$ at least in today's purchasing power, considering how rare it is now.
I'll take $390. Then let's talk about the ramp :)
Try 132$ Tulving.com and anyone else that understands dollar inflation. I think it was Sprott that threw around the 400 number, but he has an interest there.
you are a fuckin idiot
Who pissed in your Cheerios? You are exhibiting more and more of the attributes of a troll. Are you aware of that? Please try to say something constructive now and then. It's difficult enough to glean some intel from the comments without such tripe clogging up the process.
He's probably still licking the wounds from the other day.
The thread below SLAYED me. Total pwnage.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/guest-post-going-grid-montana-style
Was that the thread where all the guys encouraged everyone to get off the grid using shit built on the grid?
Yeah, was hilarious...my expectations of the ability of ZHeeple to grasp the irony without my having to spell it out in blunt language for you all were not met
"You are not allowed to be self reliant in ANY way."
So sayth the mighty Trav.
Silver's 1980 high adjusted to inflation is 517$ today and situation is worse today than it was in 1980.
Demonstrate your logic. $50 1980 high adjusted for inflation typically comes in around $150 so I am curious as to your numbers.
I can't speak for him, but he is likely citing Shadowstats.com's inflation numbers.
Seagull
the price setting mechanism is fucked so the current price and its real value can't be discovered. MF Global cleaned out how many speculators?? just remember the value of your fiat isn't declining. this isn't about getting rich
regards
That's true. I am not trying to "Get rich" I have deleveraged so much that once the student loan is gone (I do think to flip a few bars of bullion to Uncle Sam and ask for the confirmation letter for the pay off... =)
what I remember is stories of wheelbarrows from workers piled with paper money so that they may eat lunch.
Or heard second hand stories about how currency in paper has failed and you need so much old currency to exchange for new currency.
Kinda difficult to do when the food riots begin.
Metals is a part of my thinking along with ammo and other contributions with my neighbors and family for the future if things get very difficult.
When I watch many of those you tube videos that are posted here and that are hugely informative and then look at the number of views they have recieved my heart drops. There is the so called 1%ers, the looters of this planet then there is this 1%, those of us here trying to find answers and educate ourselves. This game has been played many time before in history, the only difference being that this time it is being played on a global scale. ZH should have a million vistors a day not the relatively small crowd it does attract. When interest rates finnaly go up everybody with debt will get wiped out or hammered hard within 5 years because they will be in default before they have to renew their mortgages or will see huge losses covering their loss of equity as the value of their assets decline in the enviroment of rising rates. no debt, no paper, long vegatable seeds.
People don't like to hear bad news.
Say what again?
don't mistake the value of silver with the silver paper price.
it is a small market with not a lot of liquidity, that's why jpm/blythe have enjoyed such success supressing the silver price
read silverdoctors, or tfmetalsreport, or ranting andy if you don't know what i'm referring to.
it might be discouraging to watch silver keep getting smacked down, but know that the end of the charade is coming soon - the more FRNs they print the more inflation rises, the sooner the endgame arrives. soon enough the dollar will collapse and be recognized universally as toilet paper, not the world's reserve currency.
Here is a poll from my Blow-gah....
Which is most likely?
Dow 10k: Gold $10k 17 (26%) Dow 5k: Gold $5k 20 (31%) Dow 36k: Gold $36k 8 (12%) Dow 2k: Gold $2k 5 (7%) Gold will be higher than the Dow in a few short years 14 (21%)The Dow is irrevelant.
You can count it in peices of 8 or you can count it in some imaginary number.
Your choise.

"Yet even a simplistic analysis indicates that while in the 1980s gold was a hedge to runaway inflation, in the current deflationary regime, it is a hedge to central planner stupidity that will result as a response to runaway deflation."
While not mine to call, that's a quote for the week.
Now, time to grab some popcorn and watch the video.
I agree. This is what the Roubinis of the world miss, that they have only identified the first step in a multi step process.
I second.
This was exactly the reason I first bought gold in 2008: central planner stupidity. Except I would call it theft, not stupidity. If the Fed debases our savings by massive printing, how is that not theft?
With QEx and ZIRP and other banker schemes (TARP, HAMP, Cash for Clunkers, mortgage refi, etc), saving in dollars is like being legally pickpocketed every single day.
theft - many criminals, once caught claim stupidity
Do they? I don't think that's going to work for Ben and Timmay.
It's called central planning
This sounds like that NIA sheyster.
Is that the guy that Schiff consistently hammers for his pump and dump scams?
yep that's one of those guys he has a chanel on youtube vision victory http://www.youtube.com/user/visionvictory?feature=watch
Well I know there is that George 4 Title guy who is somehow associated by NIA, then they have that suave smooth talking guy. I think the brains behind the whole thing is that kid that looks like Rusty from National Lampoons Vacation.
I'm getting a NIAish vibe from this is all I'm saying really.
Back in 2006 a doom montage like this would have given me some serious chub and spurred a trip to Costco, or triggered a buying spasam at ye olde coin shop.
Now it's sort of like, "Yeah? Is that it? Know when the game's on?"
Which Rusty?
That is definitely the same narrorator, and the videos look just the same.
Beware pump and dumps from this website.
yeah, his "$60 by next week" call was a bit out there.
So was his "Hyperinflation IMMINENT" and "silver will reach a price of 10x that of gold"...just total insanity. Thanks for sounding the alarm responsibly on this type of ridiculous hyperbole from pumpers.
Aww, Trav is sticking up for NIA.
I don't know how a rational person could POSSIBLY infer that from what I just said...
Yeah, you wouldn't know how rational people think.
Now, back to scribbling on the walls of the local alleyway with your own feces about how black people are the source of all the ills of society. Go on. How are people going to understand your message if they can't smell it?
you have clearly lost your mind
Deflation? Didn't you see the $1 billion government note the police just confiscated in Italy?
Inflation? Deflation? Democrat? Republican?
Bullets and bullion, FTW
Don't forget you need beans too.
Not according to my wife...
Cook with a potato. You don't get gas.
The enzyme in beano was isolated from potatoes.
Soak beans in clean water and whey 12 hours. Necessary for digestion and proper absorbtion, side effect is very little gas.
Disclosure:
Long vertical farming and natural foods!
Best reference book behind the Bible is "Nourishing Traditions" by Salley Fallon.
I like the gas, it gives my wife something to complain about...
/major fucking sarc
Wife and I had gas once after eating a meal in Arizona.
It took 4 states with all the windows and everything open half hanging out of the rig and all for it to dissipate.
Degrading.
I see few banksters commenting on this blog, they are so detectable :)
I am going today to buy more Silver, just to revenge your comments with action.
In the modern language; "It is sooo NOT 1980". That's really the base issue, here. It's not that something is different; everything is different. Everything is different in different ways; whole nother things are existing and goin'on that didn't even exist in 1980. It's just plain silly to even discuss 1980. Period.
@SAT 800 - you are right. Very right. The price drivers of 1980 bear no relation to today. The sooner people understand that, the better decisions they can make.
Gold and silver are headed higher ... much higher.
But not for the reasons they soared in 1980.
yes, I was alive in the 1980's, remembering Tom Brokaw or David Brinkley, on the morning news with the gold news, my parents were paying 19% interest on their $20k house, I will never forget the 70's.
Those houses were bought and paid for with war labor or soldiery.
We cannot hope to see the young folks try to buy a home anymore.
The young folks will just have to accept that the life-of-credit lie their socialist boomer parents lived is not reality. There are plenty of affordable houses in the rust belt. In Cleveland you can have your choice on nearly any block for under $50k(and most under $25k).
Is it glamorous? Will they be like their favorite "reality" TV star? No. But if that matters, they should be thrown off a cliff with their boomer parents anyhow.
Well, I lived the 401k lie along with being exhorted to attend school and be loyal to a company long enough to retire etc etc.
All fantasy and a rude toss out into the gutter with two weeks pay from HR woke me up.
I did attend Money at high school and felt like the only kid who was interested with the material. The poor teacher suffered much abuse from everyone else bored to tears.
That is why I moved into metals. I lost 30 years and aim to get it back and then some.
I lead by example. Some young folks in school now will do well to do the same.
oh yes, I'm draining my 401k, saying fuck you to TPTB, I about pulled the tirgger to buy a house in 1999, 100k loan, glad I didn't, now I'm in the ditch and say fuck it all! Good Day!

"Gold's value is intrinsic: it is the only Absolute that humanity recognises; it is innate in all men.
Gold (and Silver) represent the confidence in governance or more correctly, those elite that have control of governance.
Gold never changes in value. Only confidences change and essentially, this change is brought about by the abuse and manipulation of values wrought by those elite of governance.
The expression/tools of governance are the fiat currencies. Today, they are all done. There is only one Universdal known to mankind: it is Gold and Silver bullion.
Humanity does not need yet another violent revolution as such makes things worse; we need an intellectual revolution - Une force tranquille.
The intellectual revolution has begun and its carrier is the Internet. It is the only tool that we, the unwashed have. Do not allow the Internet to be usurped by the elite incompetants and corrupt. You do not want to go here!
It is all about natural physics (physis) and Universal Principles and standards. But, we know of no Universal Standard.
Gold (and Silver) is a hedge to survive the impending Dark Age. The more that buy Gold and Silver (like the Chinese and Indians) the shorter the Dark Age - it will be demographically expressed!
Asians ("Gold Bugs"), make up ~3/4 of the global population.

One Percent. Actually, Half of That
.
"Mitt Romney won the Maine Presidential Primary with 2,000 votes.
Not BY 2,000 votes. WITH 2,000 votes.
In a state with 1.3 million people, exactly 5,585 of them cared about the Republican nominee for President enough to bother to vote. In an open caucus, not limited to voters who had registered as a Republican. Even an unregistered voter could show up, register, and vote.
It wasn’t a case of bad weather. The weather forecast was that there was a chance of two to three inches of snow. Which never fell. And anyway, in Maine, two to three inches of snow is a light sprinkle.
The real winner of the 2012 Maine Republican Presidential Caucus was a French fellow named Je M’En Fou. (Translation: “I don’t give a damn.”) Mr. Fou got 99.5% of the vote. If Kim Jong Il were still alive, he would be jealous.
To show you how low this turnout was, when I ran for Congress in 2008, I got almost 100 times as many votes as Mitt Romney did on Saturday. In a congressional district half of the size of the State of Maine.
The Republicans must think that GOTV doesn’t mean Get Out The Vote, but rather Go Observe TeleVision.
The right wing has been a manservant to the One Percent for as long as I remember. In fact, a friend recently suggested to me that GOP actually stands for “Greedy One Percent.” But now, it seems, they can’t even get one percent to show up and vote." ...

Conrad, there is no reason to bring Bill and Melinda Gates into this discussion. Their African vaccination program is to help the blacks in Africa. The fact that the vaccines contain sterilants and are often weaponized is just part of their program to spread love to their African friends.
vaccinating africans will merely lead to mass starvation of them later. they will not feed themselves nor can hold together a civilization. Only western food aid and the remnants of the gifts of colonization sustain africa at present
genocide? What? WTF are you blathering about
You've got a point, although I think I heard the same exact speech from Clinton back in the '90s.
Anyway, I think you're over-reacting a bit. I am no Obama supporter in any way, but this doesn't really indicate the end of the world to me. I actually thought his sales pitch was pretty lame with that background soundtrack. Can't put my finger on it... maybe insincere... grandiose... an attempt to induce a strong feeling à la Steven Spielberg and his awful manipulative soundtracks.
Whoever wins: Obama, Romney, or someone else, it will be bad for most of us. The money masters will not permit political change to occur via elections. It's all a show.

Gold's value does not rely on trust or confidence as fiat does. It is what it is and if after 5000 years of history people still don't understand its value as insurance and as a refuge between investments or ventures, then there is nothing we can do other than watch them suffer as the system goes from one shock to another. In another 5000 years gold still will be recognised as VALUE. Can anyone honestly believe that fiat from today will have any value whatsoever?
Which would you rather hold in your hands "today", this circa 1980 babe laying in fiat or a roll of 1980 one ounce gold krugerrands?!
shit, tuco, i had a one-night stand once and 11 years later, i was free again!
i call that slewie'sLastStand
"today"? 1980 babe?
can you give me an easier one, please?
Irish Whiskey or a Billy Beer?
Yes, I apologize Slewie! That was too easy. I should have knocked a couple decades off the babe's age and noted that she gives great head!
