Of course California instantaneously went into over reaction mode and are kicking around the idea of a permanent ban on offshore drilling. That can't be good for price trends.<br /><br />Funny world we live in. Everything moves in the opposite direction of what's predictable.<br /><br />Oh, and what a principled and steady leader that Schwarzenegger is. Whatever way the wind blows, that's where he's headed.

True it's hard to manage large transactions but it's also hard to flub the numbers if your counting head or coins. You can't have half a cow or half an egg. I know those are bad examples but when you look at how messed up everything is you ask how did this happen or how did we ever let it get to this point?<br /><br />FIAT DEBT BASED GLOBAL ECONOMY PONZI SCHEMES DON'T WORK!<br /><br />Lt.

It argues that this is exactly what would happen if the world were on the gold standard. The thesis is that this is not an indictment of fiat currencies but of inflexible currencies.

To my mind, you have to have physical possession, or at least own the note, on a property or commodity in order to sell or insure it.<br /><br />Naked short selling is no different from credity default swaps. Max Keiser, who is somewhat of a madcap I admit, argues that it's counterfeiting. Interesting discussion between him and Jim Rogers on the latest Keiser Report on this very subject. Rogers disagrees.<br /><br />It's a fascinating debate, politicians vs. the markets. Everyone seems to agree the markets always win. Yeah. Bullshit talks and money walks.<br /><br />Anyway, at least Germany is trying to rein in financial fraud. It won't be long before they return to the Deutschmark. The Euro is a dead currency.<br /><br />But as Sammy Hagar says, "Turn Up the Music."<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtU9jWy2aWcGawainsGhosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719480047404817864noreply@blogger.com
