Betting on Ron Paul

It was only two weeks ago that 2008 Presidential candidate Ron Paul was listed at Sportsbook.com with odds of 200 to 1.  In fact, early in the month he was not even offered on the political betting menu.  My how things have changed in the past month.

Promise to try and leave a little balance on the standing bar tab at Fido’s for you. :smile:

Yeah, I truly feel something big is in the wind. Might last a day or three, might take a couple months to play out, like a train wreck in slow motion…but can almost cut the atmosphere of ‘anticipation’ with a knife these days.

Even rock steady Equisetum, has shown up with some expressions of concern and doubt. I do believe that is a first.

Let Irish or myself know if you need any help in planning your trip. Met some fine folks on the ground there.

Farmboy ( with the way things are going…I might just still be in Belize come Sept. lol)

Aruba, Jamaica, oooh oooh I wanna take ya!

Yeeeeaaaaaah!

It’s about time we had a ~ K O K O M O ~ Day.

Sorry I wasn’t around earlier to play our theme song for days like today. I didn’t even know how the markets had closed. I got tied up today and it was non-stop from about 1 o’clock on. Great day, though, and maybe “THEEEEE START” of something really really BIG!!!!!

Interesting thoughts.  Sounds like there is a general consensus in everyone’s posts that something big is about to happen. I personally feel and have felt for quite some time that there will be a financial accident. I feel that it centers around derivatives and is PM related. The whole thing with Refco going under still smells fishy to me. Something is out there , we just arent privy to it yet….. Time will tell     No summer plans just work but am contemplating a visit to Belize in September so you guys behave yourselves in June ..            Cheers       AuGirl

Maybe not yet.

Step one. Build up China into a Regional Power. (Give them World Trade status, membership)

Step two. Entice them into your NWO plans by ‘giving’ them control over Asia. (Goodbye Tawian, Japan, and let them share in the booty in parts of the Middle East)

New World Order….whats not to like?

MolyMan @ 21:10 pm.

Thanks for posting that short story that was BIG on news.

Once again, I am reminded of one of ‘ANOTHER’S’ comments: “Can you not follow in the footsteps of giants?”

And, once again, I remind myself not to be so glib, so trusting, that there will always be a coin store to shop at my convience, nor will the shelves always be stocked with the Precious. Which was part of an evening discussion Farmgal and I were having this evening while working in the garden.

I told her of some of the postings here in recent days. Of the stock certificates, being able to actually get them, hold them, coming to an end shortly. She asked me, if that had ever happened before? I told her, not to my knowledge in a 100 year history of the stock market.
She simply looked up, raised an eyebrow, and gave me the look that is reserved for those plastic house siding salesman, or the guy who pulled in the driveway last summer, and becuase his crew ‘was in the area’, how they would pave my driveway for ‘only’ $19,000. I just softly said, “Yeah, baby, things aint looking so good”.

I told her it was time to give our investments some thought. Serious thoughts. While the past 7 years have been very kind to us with our PM stocks…they were only electronic digits that could ‘disappear’ with a key stroke. And we either needed to take delivery of the stock certificates, or perhaps it was time to move those ‘digits’ into more tangible items like Eagles.

There is a lot to think about these days. And I question just how important is the stock market?
I know it is, or has been, important enough to form a Plunge Protection Team to keep things looking hunky dory for the past several years. But I wonder. Is that where the Big Players have thier funds parked. Im talking about those behind the scenes. Or have they been moving thier funds into all these mega mergers, buying out companies, securing resources such as oil and other commodities. I wonder, if once they no longer feel compelled to keep the ‘illusion’ of a stock market going, if they will collapse the whole kit and kaboodle? I think they profit very little from the stock market itself. They have moved on to larger, and more tangible goods.

My own thoughts are, it has been a good 7 years. Now how to position myself so I can say the same thing in the next 7 years? My brain wants to feed on the easy profits of paper stocks. My gut, is telling me, its time to go 90% physical gold and silver. And the JP Morgan news, well, I wonder if that is the signal my brain has been waiting for to catch up with the gut feelings?

Probably not much time to dilly dally around making the choice. Im pretty sure I already know the answer. Boy, is my coin dealer going to be throwing a bunch of paper in his safe soon. Kinda feel bad about trading him paper for the precious. But I aint never held a gun to his head to make him do it. Yet.

Interesting days we are passing through. Can say, I have not been bored in years. Did yawn a few times while watching the paint dry in the PM markets, but aint never been bored.

Sad to think, that so many have not yet found the wisdom of the Tent, or have any clue as to what the future may bring. Most just living with the premise that ’somehow, someone, somewhere, will make sure it all turns out right’. Somedays, I wish I could be more like them. There are a lot of other, happier, things I would rather be discussing while pulling weeds and enjoying the flowers.

Wishing you a good evening, Farmboy

Thanks AUGIRL I was wondering what their standing was

I guess elitists have no boundaries….

Easy Money and Global Control

5 easy steps:

        1.  Bribe the right people and create the federal reserve system…print and control money flow.

         2.  from that base,  it is easy to influence the financial “markets”…so create “legitimate” financial corporations to control those markets.

         3.  Since money “talks”…build a media system to promote and legitimate your global agenda.

         4.  Since money “talks” own and control every political, legal, and military identity of importance.

         5.  Since the bases are now covered, create or instigate a deadly dramatic “incident” to remind the peons of the “need” for the “protection” and financial “benefits” only you can provide.

The Trilateral Commission does have members from China and the Council on Foreign Relations has Chinese and Indian members on the advisory board. Doesnt look like there are any Russians or South Americans.

Who knows what the deal is with China and India. The more I think about this whole thing the muddier it gets. Its an ambitious plan decades in the making. How far they are able to take it remains to be seen.  AuGirl

Scruffy, nice strange post!

Indeed, the metals that offer the best protection are Gold and Lead! Hope the fish are bitting tomorrow again. Me, I will be on the golf coarse looking for a birdy or two and maybe earn a buck or two.

AuGirl @ 16:43 pm.

Interesting read and I admit to thinking similar thoughts, although without any real facts or reason to support said thoughts. Except, maybe one. Make that two reasons.

1. I contemplate the entry into commodities of large hedge funds, and I wonder, if they have the resources (money) to go against those 20 some years of seasonal charts. IF so, seems they could make a killing if they play thier cards right. Goose the market up/down against those seasonal trends that so many traders have come to rely on. ??

2. If the REAL seasons are any indicator, too warm here, too cold there, well, I wonder if these somewhat abnormal and strange weather patterns might just indicate a ‘change’ in the investment seasonal charts as well.

Just some thoughts that occur as I do my chores. Probably not worth the time to read, but hey, ya gata think about something while scratching. :smile:

Best to you gal, and hope you are not planning any extended vacations over the summer. We need your diligence in helping us all keep up with all the news. Thanks, Farmboy

Something is up

Remember

JP moron is a trading house that buys and sells for clients. This could be some of the “smart money” people that are currently under discussion.

Heck, it could be goldscum sucks using moron as a proxi to by gold. Or it could be Wanka filling up a pirate’s chest prior to burial. A BIG pirates chest! :o)

Holy Shit molyman…-Fullgoldcrown

I sure would like to know who their client(s) were on this delivery.  It makes me wonder what they know that is lurking just below the surface!!

Cannuckgold….Were home now from italy

…but we did take the “scenic route+ home…thru Tokyo..hehe…

….Gata go take my bath now…..later

Strange

I have been in the process of updating my analysis. Things are getting very strange.

As I have been saying for some time silver looks like it could explode any minute and some of the incentive of the filth pounding gold may well be to protect silver. I think they are failing. Silver may take off and the filth may try extreme measures to hold the line on gold.

The basic supply and demand fundamentals favor much higher gold prices….some day. The question is when will S/D overcome the schenagians of the decrepid filth.

I have not moved my channels. The range I see is still $645 on the low side and $695 on the high side for the next 4 - 6 weeks. I do not think todays action is significant in the medium to long term view. But i liked today’s action!!

The long term moving average continutes its steady climb. Production is down. Consumption is up. Without the filth we would all own beach front estates and could turn Belize into Goldtent City. The charts to me are bearish, but I do not consider charts to be credible in a manipulated market. (I expect to hear from alternate opinions.)

I still can’t quantify the effect of the gold and silver ETFs. In my gut I see these as pools of physical at the disposal of the filth. I believe that the ETFs are responsible in part for the poor performance of physical over the last 4 weeks. The ETFs have seen a large net withdrawl during this last pounding of gold from $690 to $650. This could be attributed to traders dumping a bad chart, or the ETF selling its gold causing the PoG downturn followed by ETF withdrawls. Some who follow this very closely claim the latter and I believe them.

The very large and unusual changes in the open interest is also difficult to factor in. I am getting a little blinded by Bill Murphy’s analysis of the COT. I don’t think these are the same markets as when he was an active floor trader. He knows tonnes more than I, but I can’t step up and claim that there is now “smart money” that has gone long and will stay that way in a down turn.

I believe smart money will take the filth’s offer of physical gold at the least possible price. If there is a large pool of investors out to accumulate physical I think they are also “gaming” the system. It would make sense to me to cause the filth to begin to question their effectiveness and their game plan.

In effect “smart money” may be trying to get the filth to over committ and then squeeze them. To me that has to happen in the futures market not the options market. The paper hangers can play the paper game forever, it is in the physical market where they will fail.

My gut feel? I feel if you have the funds, buy now. Get physical. Something is going on and it could be a gold and silver explosion, or it could be a rapid change in the global status quo.

There are power hungry self appointed demi-gods who seem to think it is their destiny to rule the world and wea are all destined to be their subects.

Between the goldscum sucks fraternity, the rest of the huge international banking concerns, and the neo-cons we may be watching a historical power grab. It would be good to have even a couple of extra oz’s at hand including a few extra ounces of lead.

Sorry for the length, but my analysis does not spit out a number, but ranges and risk. The non-numeric factors need normalized quantification (and cooeficients) that beg discussion.

Holy Shit molyman…

thats more gold than most countries have in Reserves….and this investment bank took delivery of this in 1 Day…….kind of nullifies all the European CB sales of late……hell I guess you could say the Bank of Spain sold thier gold to the U S of A…..eh?

The gold chart looks a little healthier today.

The beginning of better things, I hope.

POPnBOP

I’m crushed. Scruffy is much better looking than that. That puppy on the coin is BALD!

Scruff is a Border Terrier. They are a wonderful breed, one of the oldest and least known of breeds outside of the UK.

11,628 contracts sounds like a lot of gold to take delivery on. Comments please.
