A Tale of Two Metals

Add Hoenig to the list calling for Glass-Steagall

Telegraph: Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank President Thomas Hoenig calls for Wall Street banks to be broken up

Is it just me...

... or are we hearing too much talk from too many people about inflation just lately?

Is it possible there is another deflationary scare period about to hit?

Where does it end?

Tunisia, Egypt, Iran, Yemen, Jordan, now Libya, and Morocco is up next.

The Spanish authorities must be getting a bit worried this is becoming rather close to home by now, especially with 20%+ youth unemployment... :-{

Foals: Black Gold

The future is not what you see
It's not where you've been to at all



Lyrics

A great song in and of itself, but it should have special meaning to the Freegold/RPG visitors among you.

Macgoldenbeth

Is this a golden dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling as to sight? or art thou but
A golden dagger of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
I see thee yet, in form as palpable
As this which now I draw.



King Dollar should sleep with an open eye,
Lest persons clutch a golden dagger
Not of the mind, a true creation.

Gold leading - what gives?

Something happened today, and I can't see what it is yet on the BBC news. But something has caused a change from the recent pattern, where silver leads gold up. Today, gold is leading silver up. What is more, platinum and palladium are not following, so far. This suggests to me that whatever it is that's probably about to come to light, it's a safe-haven thing rather than a high liquidity thing.

Be interesting to see how this progresses later... Probably a false flag.

Yeah, probably.
