nixy Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 The Cyprus bank account raid if it goes through would leave everyone with a deposit in a bank feeling very nervious. If I had a deposit there, first thing Tuesday morning I'd be making arrangements to empty the account in case they try the same trick a second time. But where to move your deposit to? This is looking good for physical gold. I'm also getting confused at the line between taxation and outright theft. Seems reasonably straightforward. One is, taking something without the owner's express permission, the other is, erm, taking something without the owner's express permission.

G0ldfinger Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 That's a real risk... Alongside the real risk of Confiscation of Bank deposits (and other property) To confiscate bullion, people would first have to own some. Most don't (maybe they did not listen enough to the Pied Piper...). Also, so much easier to give a haircut to electronic bank accounts. Much easier as well to heavily tax property (can't be moved, you recently explained, that's also why it's called an "Immobilie" in German). Gold is possibly too elusive nowadays. And silver will stay under the radar anyway. Call me Silverfinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I think the foreigners buying in the UK now may get a big shock someday. We have had one in HK.) Also I think we are in a buying window now for Gold and Silver People would resist attempts by government to confiscate Gold, but that may not stop them any more than protest in Cyprus can stop what is happening there - Though I hope it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japanese government bonds (JGBs) have had a spectacular sell-off over the past week. Yields on 10-year JGBs rose by half of its value at one stage. This was despite buying from the Bank of Japan (BoJ) of government bonds ranging from 1 to 10 years to the tune of 1.2 trillion yen (US$120 million). == (hit: 2,900) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only paper assets you might want to invest in is a stockpile of toilet paper! Highlights - "New info from his elite pals" === + The elites were surprised at how Americans reacted to Sandy Hook by buying more guns ( This gives Williams hope that Americans may yet "win", and beat the elites.) + The elites may speed speed up their plans of currency destruction, because Americans are waking up so fast. But they are NOT yet ready, because people are not indebted and dependent enough yet. Then the collapse of the Derivatives market will be used to trigger a global currency collapse. + The transition to Obamacare may trigger another powerful reaction by the average American - the elites fear + Cyprus was planned months in advance, to grab "black" money from wealthy Russians, now they will have to borrow + Other countries are planned targets for similar programs: NZ, Japan, maybe Australia + Their plan is not to destroy America, NZ, Aust, etc., but to TAKE IT OVER, by saving people from the mess they created + Gold has hit bottom, and is going to go to $3,000; and Silver to $75 probably (They had hoped to frighten "the little person" out of gold and silver.) + The Comex may be bankrupt (some think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Another Derivatives WARNING : from Nesara's Tom Henegan =========================== At this hour, world financial markets face total meltdown as the euro denominated JPMorgan-Deutsche Bank derivatives have been illegally cross-collateralized with the assistance of the Bank of Japan and are about to go hybrid. This will lead to the total collapse of worldwide bond and stock markets sending interest rates through the roof. Note: The new European banking agreement aka Basel III now require full disclosure of banking derivatives before any bank can write new derivatives, accordingly, JPMorgan Chase had to protect their old derivatives by writing new illegal cross-collateralized derivatives with the assistance of the Bank of Japan and the Deutsche Bank. The carrying charges are now escalating and making the cost of this latest money laundry very expense. === /source; http://nesaranews.bl...lip-attack.html WATCH... Geared Financial etfs (??)

So did CGNAO get it wrong with his "100% hyperinflationary meltdown, guaranteed"? Is it deflation all the way now? Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. I expect that five years' worth of freshly minted electronically-created money from out of nowhere will eventually filter down into higher food and fuel prices. I suspect that these things take many years to play out though, and only end in brief and violent economic turmoils. Revolutions started in the middle east with the Arab spring. Now, they're on the periphery of Europe with bloodshed in Ukraine. America, whilst still hugely in debt, at least still controls the world's reserve currency, has massive agricultural capacity and is potentially capable of becoming energy-independent. I think severe inflation is still a big potential problem in Europe; the Euro won't survive that. When people start getting cold and hungry they'll vote in the same thickies who advocate money-printing to mitigate the damage done by, er, money-printing. And to do that will require a break-up of the Euro. Interesting times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna give myself a 80% accurate prediction on that one as Evergrande defaults, Russia masses its forces on the Ukraine border and Iran goes nuclear. Didn't predict covid-19 though, and the EU seems to be happy with Deutschland footing the bill. For now... tsk... tsk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
