Monkeys Attack
The Wicked Witch unleashed the monkeys this morning and the effects were immediately felt.
I hope you noticed the "p.s." at the bottom of the previous post:
"p.s. If there really is going to be a CFTC meeting tomorrow to discuss position limits, do not be surprised to see some EE shenanigans overnight. The Forces of Darkness may want to "remind" the commission just who really is in charge..."
Let's see...The CFTC meeting is scheduled to begin at 9:30 EDT. As a not-too-subtle reminder, the monkeys were unleashed at approximately 7:35 EDT.

Bombs away and smash the PMs on the Globex after London is finished and before NY begins. Classic. Textbook. A message. "You're not in charge, Mr. Gensler. We are."
Mission accomplished. By smashing price this morning, The Cartel has also managed to tilt the charts negative, too. The rising trendlines of support have both been broken and now the metals look to trade lower before finding more substantial support near $1600 and $29. Let's hope they don't fall that far but they could.

No market is like this. what are their price goals? maybe they want to contain it 21% increase a year? how long can they keep silver down? they can do whatever they want --remember they act like gods
Watching the meeting
It's getting ready to start and there's hardly anyone there.
I wish I had gone...
They will win everytime

Goldman Sach’s Hatzius: Fed to Stave Off Recession With QE3
http://www.moneynews.com/Headline/Hatzius-Fed-recession-QE3/2011/10/17/id/414679
The Federal Reserve will roll out a third round of quantitative easing — asset purchases from banks — and steer the economy away from a fresh recession, says Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jan Hatzius.
The Fed, under Chairman Ben Bernanke, has already launched two rounds of quantitative easing, known widely as QE1 and QE2.
QE1 saw the Fed buy $1.7 trillion in assets from banks, mainly mortgage securities, while QE2 saw the monetary authority snap up $600 billion in Treasurys.
Critics say such policies threaten to push inflation rates up, but Fed officials say they were necessary to avoid deflation.
Get ready for QE3, Hatzius tells Forbes.
"We expect QE3 in six to nine months, probably in a seamless transition from Operation Twist," he says, referring to Operation Twist, another Federal Reserve policy under which the Central Bank shuffles its Treasury holdings around to keep long-term interest rates low.
"It won't be largely effective, but it helps at the margin," Hatzius says, adding that "the idea of monetary easing in response to a weak economy has been the right strategy, and it has been useful...
@Turd
That yellow hat of yours certainly would have added some color to the room.

Good morning Turd: Is there a link for the CFTC meeting??

they don't seem to be in any more of a hurry to start that meeting than they have been to implement the position limits.

Thnx jacey - yr link works
Appreciate the link.
Ivars, I really appreciate you sharing
This is a repost as I got tangled up in them and put it under one of Turds about three postings ago. I really wanted it viewed by as many as possible...I think it is important anyways.
Ivars, I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge, here. I think one reason your ideas aren’t being seriously considered on Turds site is a context issue… or maybe, they are, and it’s not, and I’M just the last to figure it out.
I presume you’re from Russia or from an area close to there, and, no offense, but your writing is sometimes a bit misleading, for example, you wrote.
“Also, FED can print a lot and USD will not fall as no one wants it.” When I first read this, I thought you meant no one wanted our dollars and our dollars will appreciate in value. Well, that didn’t make any sense, not until I read it several time and put it together with the rest of your message.
What I gather your intended message is, is that no other country wants our dollar to decrease in value as it’s on their “balance sheet”, and for this reason they won’t let it decrease. And how this happens is, it’s going to be a printing war, the U.S. against the rest of the world and the world will over whelm our efforts.
I would STRONGLY recommend that the “turites” read carefully what Ivars writes, it’s very compelling and makes a whole lot of sense.
Turd Check Email asap
BOOOOOM!
First!
Since it seem my one & only 'First' post from a few days ago is the only one that got moderated off the main thread, I thought I'd go ahead and repost it.
Ivars
I think his charts need to be stickied somewhere on this site. Whatever data he has gathered and plugged into his models has produced impeccable and timely charts.
douchebag alert
it's ok now. dunn is done talking. (and singing).
Spam Dump
Appreciate all the flags on the huge overnight spam dump. I'm working on it, but it's time consuming finding them all (50+) and killing them one at a time. I'll get there, but I might need to stop for sustenance at some point.
I can't believe my ears...
Is this commissioner serious? She believes that our financial system has done a good job of self-regulating?
She uses no less that one argument fallacy per minute. Too many to call out as she speaks!
She says the CFTC wil be blamed when position limits fail to control inflation. Then she says its not the CFTCs job to control prices! All this to justify her opposition... I can't bear to listen!
Thanks Mod Wash
Don't pass out from hunger man!
Looks like Sommers
has the head of an Asian woman mounted on her desk.
creepy.
Hearing
"this rule will make hedging more difficult... " 2nd speaker sounds as if she is against Position Limits, as was the first.
Looks like…
they got the early morning message from the cartel - at least so far.
You ask me, nothing's going to change. I would like to be wrong, though.
patience
Let's see what Comm Chilton has to say.

Your post dovetails with my previous post:
As always thank you for your brilliant post. There are a lot of advanced concepts there to digest, but perhaps the most important which I agree with you, is that USD will enter a deflationary period next year. Once one accepts that, it changes the entire management of one's financial planning. It is an extremely important point.
"Declining prices, if they persist, generally create a vicious spiral of negatives such as falling profits, closing factories, shrinking employment and incomes, and increasing defaults on loans by companies and individuals. To counter deflation, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) can use monetary policy to increase the money supply and deliberately induce rising prices, causing inflation. Rising prices provide an essential lubricant for any sustained recovery because businesses increase profits and take some of the depressive pressures off wages and debtors of every kind."
