Jnug giving up the ghost…but this is to be expected before the FED…but no matter what the FED
statement is or isn’t–gold is under total lockdown…silver down a fat 47 cent….gold down 4.60
Fairytales from the Federal Reserve: 15 Reasons Fed Policies Belong in Fantasyland
Don’t ever think for a minute that the central bankers know what they’re doing. They don’t. And that’s my own view, but I’ve heard that recently from a couple central bankers. I recently had spent some time with one member of the FOMC, the Federal Open Market Committee, and another member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England, which is the equivalent of their FOMC, both policymakers, both central bankers.
And they said the same thing, “We don’t know what we’re doing. This is a massive experiment. We’ve never done this before. We try something. If it works, maybe we do a little more; if it doesn’t work, we pull it away, and we’ll try something else.” And the evidence of this – again, I’ve heard this firsthand, and it’s my view – but the evidence for this is that their have been 15 separate fed policies in the last 5 years.

Anyone else find it odd
that the USD is taking a hit today with the Ruble collapsing? Why?
Putin has one choice, and it’s not raising rates to 100%.
From a guy I like on Twitter
Anyone else a little nervous about how Putin will react to the utter collapse of the currency?
Graphene: Fast, Strong, Cheap, and Impossible to Use
Util Andre Geim, a physics professor at the University of Manchester, discovered an unusual new material called graphene, he was best known for an experiment in which he used electromagnets to levitate a frog. Geim, born in 1958 in the Soviet Union, is a brilliant academic—as a high-school student, he won a competition by memorizing a thousand-page chemistry dictionary—but he also has a streak of unorthodox humor. He published the frog experiment in the European Journal of Physics, under the title “Of Flying Frogs and Levitrons,” and in 2000 it won the Ig Nobel Prize, an annual award for the silliest experiment. Colleagues urged Geim to turn the honor down, but he refused. He saw the frog levitation as an integral part of his style, an acceptance of lateral thinking that could lead to important discoveries. Soon afterward, he began hosting “Friday sessions” for his students: free-form, end-of-the-week experiments, sometimes fuelled by a few beers. “The Friday sessions refer to something that you’re not paid for and not supposed to do during your professional life,” Geim told me recently. “Curiosity-driven research. Something random, simple, maybe a bit weird—even ridiculous.” He added, “Without it, there are no discoveries.”
On one such evening, in the fall of 2002, Geim was thinking about carbon. He specializes in microscopically thin materials, and he wondered how very thin layers of carbon might behave under certain experimental conditions. Read More
um joe my friends don’t care about Sandy Hook
in fact most would think I was out of my mind if I posted something related to Sandy Hook. Want people talking and wondering if you’re okay? No thanks. There’s better mountains to die on. If anyone is interested in hearing the story, the information is there. I’m not going to promote something that can’t be proven either way. No thanks, I’ll try to remain productive, and this path is a waste of time. Go find something better to do, think about family or loved ones. Videos like that are a black holes. P.S. I believe the whole situation is a stinky dead fish and nothing adds up
Maddog-when I turned on the TV Box this a.m.–gold sported a nice gain of $14-with silver up only 3 cents-I switched the channel for about
3 minutes and looked again and $6 was shaved off the gain-now gold’s up 6 and silvers down 6….the $ index is down 688 bps–the Feelth are all over G&S in classic fashion…launching guerilla raids first on one then on the other…I am surprised there is any gain at all ahead of the FED,,,
Commish-That is a riot! But please remember this is a family website…the sexy, braless Goddess
might stimulate impure thoughts in some of our members…
WANKA
Glad to hear it! I knew it would come eventually. 🙂
Is today the day?
Ruble crashing, Dow crashing, oil crashing, junk bonds crashing … gold soaring.
We need to talk about Sandy Hook
I am keeping this alive by reposting. This is the best link to use as it is not hosted on Youtube.
Youtube keeps taking this documentary down. This has been the MOST attacked video I have ever seen. The establishment doesn’t want you to see this. Let’s make this link go VIRAL. Send to all your facebook friends.
