I guess weekend footage of Barack, Slow Joe and Son of Hoffa in Detroit firing what looks to be the first shot in a Communist Revolution is not sitting well with them this morning.

The U.S. is throwing everything but the kitchen sink trying to suppress the spot price of gold. This finger in the dyke approach will only help for so long before the dam bursts wide open.

At this rate we could go to 8,500 by Christmas?
Heck, we start getting that low and even I may re-invest.

I agree. Things won’t settle until after the next auction (18th), and then only for a while. My guess.

trying to suppress the spot price of gold Maybe. But gold will fall all by itself because it has gone too far, too fast. Note that I bought a large amount of PM's starting from 2003 or so and am holding for the longer run.

The Swiss Franc was thrown and then the kitchen sink I guess. Didn't work I guess.

Any time a government declares war on its citizens the way our government did yesterday, bad things are going to happen. Nice going Barry.

I’ve said it before: who knew that “Obama 2012” would refer to the DJIA?

The market invoked rule 48 (double secret probation) for the start.

Although it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with our current situation, I would like to reference this from wikipedia:
Article 48 of the constitution of the Weimar Republic of Germany (19191933) allowed the President, under certain circumstances, to take emergency measures without the prior consent of the Reichstag. This power was understood to include the promulgation of "emergency decrees (Notverordnungen)".
It's how Hitler seized control of the government. He had been elected to a somewhat weak political position, but declared an emergency and took total control of the government.
I just don't like the number 48.
