History
is replete with the carcasses of failed currencies destroyed through
misguided intentional debasement by governments looking for an easy
escape from piling up too much debt. James Rickards, author of the
recent bestseller Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis, sees history repeating itself today – and warns we are in the escalating stage of a global currency war of the grandest scale.
Whether it ends in hyperinflation, in the return to some form of gold standard, or in chaos – history is telling us we can have confidence it will end painfully.

The fallout (decline in trading volume) from the MF Global fiasco must be greater than ever we imagined. Less than 2 weeks ago the CME announced the launch of a clearing service for OTC London gold derivatives. Reports surfaced from Bloomberg today that the CME Group is now attempting to acquire the world’s largest metals futures market, the LME.
CME Group Inc. (CME) has made a bid for the London Metal Exchange as the world’s largest metals futures market plans a meeting next week to consider offers, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

Greece updates/Iran/High amounts of physical silver standing in February/
Good
morning Ladies and Gentlemen:
The boys decided on Friday that a raid was necessary and their motive is
to try and quell physical demand for our precious metals. The global
financial scene is rapidly deteriorating and all citizens realize their
paper currency is nothing but paper and seek the safe haven of physical
gold and silver. Bank runs are occurring daily especially in the weaker
Interpretations From Technical & Intermarket Analysis Depends On Perspective
The Dow Theory, as most interpretations in technical and intermarket
analysis, depends on your perspective. While the transports have failed to
lead and/or confirm higher highs in the Dow Industrials over the
short-term, discriminating trader knows they’ve been leading the
Industrials for years. For instance, the Dow Transports established new
highs in 2011, while the Dow Industrials did not. ...

Obama wants cheaper pennies and nickels
As long as the standing Administration supports a stronger - meaning weaker
dollar, those pesky little pennies and nickels will only get more expensive
to produce. Eventually, Gresham’s law will release its citizen from
shackles of expensive coins and paper notes to the freedom of the great
cashless society provided by credit. After that, visionary citizens and
fund managers will be allowed to...

A Good Chance That Japanese Stocks Surprise On The Upside
The most important for Japanese stocks, for them to perform well, is a weakening yen. I think the Japanese, like everybody else in this world, will print money and once they print money and the yen no longer strengthens, I think there's a good chance that Japanese stocks will surprise on the upside. - in CNBC *Related, iShares MSCI Japan Index ETF (EWJ)* *Marc Faber is an international investor known for his uncanny predictions of the stock market and futures markets around the world.*

In
the past, insurance companies and pension funds have been keen to
advertise the benefit of compounding arithmetic for savings. Over the
last 30 or 40 years the rate has been lifted by inflation, but to
understand the cost inflation brings you have to consider the whole
savings cycle: not just the accumulation stage, but also annuity values
in retirement. Furthermore, the historical experience of a typical
working life should be compared with a theoretical sound-money
alternative.
Let us assume a man works for 40 years, during which time he invests a fixed amount annually. This is invested mostly in bonds for a return that gives him a lump sum on retirement. The marketing folk stop at that point, but we shall go on. This lump sum is applied to an annuity to give a fixed income for the retiree’s life expectancy. Let us also assume that $1,000 is invested annually, and we shall use the average return on the 10-year US Treasury bond as our yardstick. The result is shown in the table below under the heading of Paper Money.

We sat down with Mickey Fulp and while there’s not a lot to be happy about, many markets have been going up since the first of the year. And as the old Wall Street Maxim says, So goes January, So goes the Year. And you have to take your profits while you can get them. But of course you always need to have a core holding of gold and silver. The rest is extra money that you’ve hopefully been able to grow during the course of a very tough couple of years. There’s absolutely no indication that anything has fundamentally improved of that any of the long standing, intractable problems have been solved, but Wall Street doesn’t seem very concerned about these issues. But you should be, because one day they’ll wake but it will be too late.
Copper’s been heading down a bit since January, seems the Chinese have been hoarding it. And perhaps the most surprising developments, the US approved two new nuclear power plants to be built in Georgia and the Germans are restarting several shut-in nukes. While nuclear power’s rebirth in the West has been greatly exaggerated, perhaps reality is now catching up. Uranium stocks haven’t had much of a move recently, but that could be changing.
All-in-all financial markets never surprise us with their unpredictability, and 2012 is proving no different.

Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said one called on “all sections of the Syrian opposition to dissociate themselves from armed groups engaged in acts of violence,” and urged all countries act to prevent it.
Another rejected amendment called for withdrawing Syrian forces from conflict areas “in conjunction with the end of attacks by armed groups against state institutions and quarters of cities and towns.”
China’s deputy envoy Wang Min affirmed Beijing’s opposition to “armed intervention or forcing a so-called regime change in Syria.”
Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, and other countries condemned it. Venezuela said it violated Syrian sovereignty and “promote(s) civil war on a large scale.”

I listened to a debate today between Yaron Brook of the Ayn Rand Institute and Doug Casey on Kerry Lutz’ fine Financial Survival Network that frankly shocked me. I’ll tell you why in a moment. But first, some background.
I’m fairly new to the intellectual discussion of liberty. While I’ve been anarchist minded since my early adulthood I was only officially beknighted an anarchist by Doug Casey himself somewhere around 2004. Before then I thought what most of the brainwashed public thought, that the word anarchy meant violence and chaos. I hadn’t even heard the word libertarian until that same evening.
