Summarizing Our Predicament

Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at 3:44 pm

In the past 24 hours, two terrific pieces of "research" have been published by a couple of prominent Turdites. The presentations do such a fine job of summarizing the monetary part of our current predicament that I decided to create this entire new thread around them and begin a discussion.

Mornings With Andy

Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at 11:15 am

As luck would have it, I had something I needed to run by our new pal Andrew Maguire this morning. Without looking at the time, I rang him up at about 9:45 EDT...15 minutes before the London PM fix. What fortuitous timing!

Too Surreal To Comprehend

Monday, April 16, 2012 at 11:34 am

There are days when I sit back in wonderment at the position in which "Jimmy Stewart" finds himself. To go from regular dope to regular-dope-with-amazing-contacts is sometimes difficult to deal with in that it's so surreal. Anyway, there's just a lot of interesting stuff going on in the world, 99% of which is never discussed in the media, financial or otherwise.

TFMR Podcast #17 - Chris Martenson

Friday, April 13, 2012 at 2:41 pm

On Thursday, I had an opportunity to visit with Chris Martenson. Chris is obviously very smart but, best of all, he's just a regular guy. Like most of us, Chris had an "awakening" a few years ago and he has devoted his efforts ever since to preparing his family, as well as the general public, for what we all know lies ahead. I think you'll enjoy this podcast and appreciate getting to know Chris a little bit better.

Turd on the Brink of Insanity

So, this is how it works in the Age of Lies, Obfuscation & Nonsense.

Yes, It's Friday the 13th

Friday, April 13, 2012 at 10:18 am

YIKES! With all of the recent craziness, would anyone be surprised by some completely unexpected stuff today? So far, so normal. However, given the perverse senses of humor within The Evil Empire, we all should be on the lookout today.

Sack of Nonsense Redux

Thursday, April 12, 2012 at 4:02 pm

It was with increasing incredulity that I file this update today.

<Yawn>

Wednesday, April 11, 2012 at 3:15 pm

After all of the recent volatility, don't days like today just seem like a downer? I suppose we should be grateful for the respite...but...flat, rangebound days always tend to put me to sleep.

Site Down Again and a Chart Update

Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 7:26 pm

I would have made this new post earlier but, as you know, the site was down again. It sure seems strange that this silly, little site would crash so often but...whaddayagonnado. Anyway, here's a quick update.

Total Gold Open Interest Falls Below 400,000

Monday, April 9, 2012 at 9:08 pm

I don't know. Maybe you think I'm crazy for harping on this so much. But, I'm here to tell ya, this is a big deal. I can't remember the last time the total gold open interest on the Comex was under 400,000! And now here, in 2012 with price at $1650 and interest/attention in gold at an alltime high, total gold OI as of last Thursday evening is 399,607. This is astounding and it has significant implications.
