Why would they attack the market? Or gold?
The US could start things off by liquidating positions in certain banks.
I don't think they hold any positions to liquidate.
Then when the rout accelerates, they could clean up by shorting across the board.
But why?
When the dust settles, and martial is declared, the Feds would have lots of gold, a strong dollar, and the ability to buy up what’s left.
Right. Geez.
Right, I always trust the Feds to do the right thing. Tell me, what has the Fed done to the dollar since 1913?
Sounds like you are going to support Bernanke for another term, and you probably wish Obama could get another term too. Being a patriot shouldn’t mean being a slave to the Fed or the government.
