Gold is on its way UPPPPP! The following article posted on Yahoo TVX site by tunaclipper says it all. Maylasia has told the IMF where to stick it and look what is happening in their market. Up several days in a row and up 19.5% as of now. How long will it take for other nations under the thumb of the IMF and the dollar to catch on? Methinks it has happened and will snowball. Go gold!!!!!



The winds
change are

After reading about a dozen countries pushing a
gold standard, Jack Kemp and company pressing
for gold backing, Malaysia closing its doors to
currency speculators and going toward gold, the
rush to gold has begun. If there are shorts out there
betting that gold will go down to $270 or so, watch
out! The reports from so many countries and so
many political leaders jumping on the gold
bandwagon is telling me that our time has arrived.
For those waiting for the fuze to be lit, it has
already been lit and the explosion is imminent. The
press has grabbed a hold of the gold movement and
is no longer fighting gold and glorifying the dollar. I
usually ignore the gold bug publications because
they are always touting the value of gold and we
grow numb to that. When the mainstream press
jumps on board and Mr. Average Investor and
politician are hit with it in the newspapers and TV
newscast, it will not be a blip. The time has
arrived!! ( Could I be wrong though?.......Naayyyy ) .

I really MUST take my beautiful wife to eat. She is standing there with car keys in hand and we are both chuckling at our joke. Well, my joke, she had nothing to do with it. I will be dining with a dear friend in the entertainment industry this evening. We spoke about Y2K the other night on the phone and he told me not to worry. I am bringing a gold coin to dinner. I think once he gets that coin in his hand he will finally listen to the way the Dow manipulators are going to bring the whole house crashing down.

But dinner first!

People who bought Gold within the risk-free period starting on March 1st have seen their investment turn sour as Gold reached numerous new lows once the 45 day period ended...

Do you see foresee more of these types of risk-free periods ahead for Gold but successful ones though this time?

Thanks.

Gold...we are now entering a 45 day risk-free period for the metal. By risk-free, I mean a period in which the upside probability far outweighs the downside probability in a manner not seen since the Carter presidency. Despite the putative absence of inflation, there are other factors coming into play that should create an upward spike in the very depressed price of the metal:

So far, they have not indicated that they are ready to break from the global status quo.

Certainly, theirs is a culture that strives NOT to make waves...a consensus building culture that has proven to be quite successful in the past.

Somehow, I wonder if a secret consensus is now being formed...one that may be quite radical in its nature.

Again, I reiterate....I will not be intimidated by this kid...in my mind, he represents all the greedy Wall Street Hypesters who are conning this great country into one of the most astounding financial disasters of the century.

I take a public stand against these con artists with great pride and pleasure. As such, I hope to post warnings about this American financial bubble as long as is necessary. I have warned relatives and friends -- and the anonymous little old lady with her pension...all the financially unsophisticated....they too are my friends and I will continue to warn them of the Wall Street scam now in full gear.

In conclusion, I will abide by whatever decision you make.

occured to me that they are doing as little as possible
by intention. An ultimate game of chicken? A duel?

Rebuilding, for them, seems more feasible for they

Copyright © 1998 farfel/Kitco Inc. All rights reserved
...IMHO you should not allow RJujube to post on both forums K-1 and K-2. I think he should be limited to K-1.

He is a disruptive element on K-2 as he never addresses the issues under discussion in a civil manner.

Instead, he cuts and pastes out of context, historical posts...and he hurls epithet after epithet.

Of course, again, it is your web-site...however, I feel that, given that I am unable to post upon K-1 ( for breaching etiquette guidelines ) , therefore IMHO, you should preclude RJujube from posting upon K-2. It
is extremely difficult to maintain any decorum on this forum when an agitator such as RJujube continuously hurls epithets.

However, no matter what your decision, I shall continue posting here as long as you allow me to do so. There is obviously an audience and demand for such posts.

...I think there is nothing more childish than having someone follow you around like a '50's McCarthy disciple posting out-of-context historical posts.

No matter what I post, there is my good buddy RJ, ready to denigrate my most recent posts with historical posts that have nothing to do with the ideas presented.

He claims it is a tit for tat.

Yet, never in my recollection did I ever hound this guy to the extent he hounds me. Historically, I posted contradictions in his thinking...but never with the usage of degrading epithets.

Analogously, on K-1, you have REALISTIC hounding Puetz, following up every post with an historical post as though thoughts spoken back then are pertinent to today's events.

I admire the fact that Puetz is keeping his temper. However, REALISTIC has not gone into the realm of name-calling and muck-raking. If that should happen, then it would be interesting to see whether or not Puetz can maintain his composure.

In any case, RJ may think he is destroying me...yet he is certainly destroying himself.

What respect can be commanded by such a slanderer?

None, it seems.

The great thing about the fall of the Rand is, not so much the issue of its effects on the price of

gold, but rather the ultimate impoverishment of dickheads like PissPee who, when economic

hardship gets really intense down there, will probably have their assets and properties

expropriated by the failing SA government. Deservedly so...for being abject idiots!

Speaking of expropriation, since Moronator is such a fawning disciple of Herr-ess Witte and her

happy band of Royal Oak Robbers ( since, in his mind, she represents the apotheosis of pure

capitalism...and he admires scoundrels who have the balls to change the rules ) , then he too

should be delighted when his new government comes along someday and changes the rules,

expropriating all his ( putatively ) hard-earned assets. Bound to happen since, he too, is living in

the midst of a collapsing economy.

And what about James...great admirer of intellect...or should I say, imbibing... prone to heavy

indulgences in the old boozola when his wife is away ( who can blame her? ) , happily liquoring

himself up into a state of abject incoherence.

What does it all mean?

It means, back off f**kheads, or I will rip your blathering nonsense into shreds ( and you along with

it ) in a manner that will make my friend RJ seem the epitome of cool composure.

Oh, thanks.

Yet More Helpful Hints: don't kick people ( like goldbugs ) when they are down on a daily basis.

Yet Even More Helpful Hints: lay off the fascist all-American love it or leave it! attitudes, extolling

the virtues of Nirvana for America and the greater virtues of drinking piss for the rest of the world.

It infuriates ( some ) Americans.

Yet Even More and More Helpful Hints: end the great Farfel gangbang NOW!

Unlike Mr. Puetz, I will not disappear but will retaliate with even fuller force.

Finally, apologize, just as I have done in the past to all on this forum. A real apology ( not an

apology serving as merely a means to attack another poster a la LGiBBerish's deceitful tactics ) .

Until such apology is received I will post in the neo-fascist fashion which was so popularized by

The world is collapsing around us. Russia is bankrupt. Japan is in endemic recession. All of Asia is now pretty much in deep recession. All of South America is devalueing their currencys. The XAU has gone up over 20% in a couple of days. Puetz is screaming crash, crash. All that earth shaking stuff going on and all you guys can do is indulge in idiotic, cildish foot stamping. I have read and respected both of your posts. I have been forced to think about matters of import because of your words.

farfel (REPOST: Nobody Wants to be a Sucker!) ID#17077:
Copyright © 1998 farfel/Kitco Inc. All rights reserved

As some of you may recall, I wrote several months ago about my speculation that the equities markets would begin

to experience trouble in the Summer.

My central thesis revolved around the fact that a consensus of market analysts and market investors ( I personally
polled ) believed that weakness would not begin until October.

Furthermore, I theorized that the government would be more inclined to allow the equities bubble to pop during
Summer for psychological reasons since Summer is a time when the people would be in a more optimistic frame of

mind ( surrounded by singing birds and flowers and sunshine, etc. ) . After a person takes a severe financial hit,
he may take some solace in seeing the many other intangible virtues in life besides one's financial circumstances. It

puts things in perspective. On the other hand, there is nothing more depressing than losing one's financial shirt,
then stepping outside into either the dying environment of Fall or the cold miserable chill of Winter. Truly
depressing because those two seasons are seasons of decay and have traditionally been associated with much mass

depression and suicide.

So, it is interesting to note that severe troubles in the equities markets began in late July.

Now, the question is this: when will the culmination of the equities markets' trouble occur?

Again, I must say I would theorize that it will be sooner than later. Most of my friends who imagined an October
market debacle expressed definite intentions to exit no later than early to mid- September. They described
themselves as shrewd investors who would not allow themselves to be suckered into holding equities into
October.

So, the mass small investor psychology suggests September troubles before October problems.

The major objections to this thesis have been presented by those market professional investors who feel that, since
Goldman Sachs is NOT going public until late October....and since Treasury Secretary Rubin is a former partnerof

GS ( with some personal GS financial interests supposedly held in escrow ) , then surely, Rubin will do
everything in his power to ensure highly auspicious market conditions for Goldman's public offering...for his
own personal benefit as well as the benefit of former colleagues and friends.

This particular objection does have a certain compelling logic.

However, here are the central questions: can one man ( Rubin ) hold the entire US financial market together if the
mass investor psychology has truly shifted? Moreover, is it possible for Rubin to preclude the Bear downdraft
when it appears Fed Reserve ChairmanGreenspan is no longer preaching the America is Immune from Global
Economic Contagion gospel?

Finally, with Starr's impeachment report ready to be released any day now, it seems the President will receive
another ( maybe fatal ) blow to his credibility.

The great thing about the fall of the Rand is, not so much the issue of its effects on the price of

gold, but rather the ultimate impoverishment of dickheads like PissPee who, when economic

hardship gets really intense down there, will probably have their assets and properties

expropriated by the failing SA government. Deservedly so...for being abject idiots!

Speaking of expropriation, since Moronator is such a fawning disciple of Herr-ess Witte and her

happy band of Royal Oak Robbers ( since, in his mind, she represents the apotheosis of pure

capitalism...and he admires scoundrels who have the balls to change the rules ) , then he too

should be delighted when his new government comes along someday and changes the rules,

expropriating all his ( putatively ) hard-earned assets. Bound to happen since, he too, is living in

the midst of a collapsing economy.

And what about James...great admirer of intellect...or should I say, imbibing... prone to heavy

indulgences in the old boozola when his wife is away ( who can blame her? ) , happily liquoring

himself up into a state of abject incoherence.

What does it all mean?

It means, back off f**kheads, or I will rip your blathering nonsense into shreds ( and you along with

it ) in a manner that will make my friend RJ seem the epitome of cool composure.

Oh, thanks.

Copyright © 1998 farfel/Kitco Inc. All rights reserved


Talk about Paradigm Shift....only months ago, Greenspan testified that America was experiencing a virtuous
cycle, the continuation of the Goldilocks economy...not too hot, not too cold.

Now, all of a sudden, he is finally admitting that America cannot remain a paradisiacal island unto itself as global
economic devastation whirls around the globe ( See Article Below )

What a confession!! Moreover, the timing is very interesting as it is occuring just before the post-Labor Day week
when a virtual consensus of Bearish analysts is calling for market calamity.

Rubin ( who I categorically blame for allowing America to get into this mess ) must be livid! Imagine...Greenspan
is NOT willing to maintain the facade of unlimited American prosperity any longer.

The equities and bond markets are in a NO-WIN situation...raise or lower interest rates...either scenario spells
disaster. Lowering interest rates augurs inflation and kills both bonds and equities. Raising interest rates explodes
both the bonds and equities bubbles.

The only true solution is to reconstruct the global currency structure AFTER market equilibrium is restored at
whatever lower level it obtains. It will be necessary to fix the new global currency system against some kind of
standard ( gold maybe? ) .

Unfortunately, America has experienced a false prosperity this past decade at the expense of many suffering
nations. As I have written for over the past year, sadly, it seems that global economic collapse might be the only
condition compelling the major Superpowers to sit down together in one room and agree about the future direction
of global currencies and markets -- without equivocation or subterfuge or lack of purpose. As you may recall, for
the past year, I wrote that as long as America felt it could escape the contagion, then I hypothesized that the
country would NEVER take the necessary measures to stem the economic epidemic. So far I have been proven to
be correct.

So batten down the hatches...I think we have reached a point where it may be time for technicians to throw out
their charts. Future moves in the market may be extremely radical, NASB, and as such, highly unpredictable for
chartists that are accustomed to steady, dull, trend-like moves over the past decade.

PHYSICAL gold and silver...soon to be acknowledged as the true flight to safety.

U.S. economy won't escape turmoil
effects-Greenspan

``It is just not credible that the United States can remain an oasis of prosperity unaffected by a world that is
experiencing greatly increased stress,'' Greenspan said in a speech at the University of California in Berkeley.

Although he did not directly comment on the bank's interest rate policy, Greenspan said it was a time to be
cautious, implying there would be no change soon in official U.S. interest rates. ``Clearly, the history of large
swings in investor confidence and equity premiums for rational and other reasons counsels caution in the current
context,'' he said.

Greenspan said that in the Spring and early Summer of this year Fed policymakers were concerned the strong
U.S. economy would fuel inflationary price pressures. But that fear had since abated and the Federal Open Market
Committee saw the risks as balanced between economic slowdown and inflation.
``By the time of the Committee's August meeting, the risks had become balanced, and the Committee will need to
consider carefully the potential ramifications of ongoing developments since that meeting,'' he said.

farfel (REPOST: Nobody Wants to be a Sucker.) ID#17077:
Copyright © 1998 farfel/Kitco Inc. All rights reserved

As some of you may recall, I wrote several months ago about my speculation that the equities markets would begin
to experience trouble in the Summer.

My central thesis revolved around the fact that a consensus of market analysts and market investors ( I personally
polled ) believed that weakness would not begin until October.

Furthermore, I theorized that the government would be more inclined to allow the equities bubble to pop during
Summer for psychological reasons since Summer is a time when the people would be in a more optimistic frame of
mind ( surrounded by singing birds and flowers and sunshine, etc. ) . After a person takes a severe financial hit,
he may take some solace in seeing the many other intangible virtues in life besides one's financial circumstances. It
puts things in perspective. On the other hand, there is nothing more depressing than losing one's financial shirt,
then stepping outside into either the dying environment of Fall or the cold miserable chill of Winter. Truly
depressing because those two seasons are seasons of decay and have traditionally been associated with much mass
depression and suicide.

So, it is interesting to note that severe troubles in the equities markets began in late July.

Now, the question is this: when will the culmination of the equities markets' trouble occur?

Again, I must say I would theorize that it will be sooner than later. Most of my friends who imagined an October
market debacle expressed definite intentions to exit no later than early to mid- September. They described
themselves as shrewd investors who would not allow themselves to be suckered into holding equities into
October.

So, the mass small investor psychology suggests September troubles before October problems.

The major objections to this thesis have been presented by those market professional investors who feel that, since
Goldman Sachs is NOT going public until late October....and since Treasury Secretary Rubin is a former partnerof
GS ( with some personal GS financial interests supposedly held in escrow ) , then surely, Rubin will do
everything in his power to ensure highly auspicious market conditions for Goldman's public offering...for his
own personal benefit as well as the benefit of former colleagues and friends.

This particular objection does have a certain compelling logic.

However, here are the central questions: can one man ( Rubin ) hold the entire US financial market together if the
mass investor psychology has truly shifted? Moreover, is it possible for Rubin to preclude the Bear downdraft
when it appears Fed Reserve ChairmanGreenspan is no longer preaching the America is Immune from Global
Economic Contagion gospel?

Finally, with Starr's impeachment report ready to be released any day now, it seems the President will receive
another ( maybe fatal ) blow to his credibility.

Essentially, with a government seemingly no longer united in purpose and interpretation of domestic economic
affairs....with a government whose leader no longer commands any credibility or respect from his very own
insiders and advisors ( after all, he lied to them for half a year! ) ....with a government that no longer commands
any credibility from foreign goverments ( after all, if Clinton lied to his very own inner circle, then how can
foreign leaders trust him? ) ....then one must wonder: can this same effete government preclude the apparent
urgent troubles facing America's markets and economy?

What do you think?

Thanks.

HE IS OBSESSED WITH RJ. HE THINKS I AM RJ.

Date: Fri, 10 Jul 1998 12:46:22 +0100

From: Farfel

To: info@kitco.com

Dear Bart:

Thanks for your speedy reply to my E-Mail.

With respect to K-2, I wish you the best success. However, as it

stands, there are effectively few to zero posters there. In other

words, no audience.

It is pointless to write in a vacuum so I will NOT write on that forum.

I am sorry but there is already too much compulsory writing in my life

as it is.

With respect to RJ, we have substantive philosophical differences.

He is antagonistic toward me for several major reasons:

1 ) I refuse to post E-Mail and I steadfastly maintain my anonymity on

the K-1 forum. He considers this to be cowardly. However, I see

nothing wrong with this approach. One particular reason I maintain my

non-identity is owing to some of the radical, inflammatory concepts I

post on the forum. Many of these concepts upset people so severely that

I am afraid of literal, real, and violent retaliation, if not today then

maybe in the future. Since I have a wife I adore, I do not wish her to

become a target owing to my profound ability to upset and stir the

status quo.

2 ) I profess to have the ability to analyze the metals markets ALTHOUGH

I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL METALS TRADER NOR DO I SUBSCRIBE TO TECHNICAL CHARTIST THEORIES. For some reason, RJ feels that ONLY professional metal traders and technicians are qualified ( and should be allowed ) to provide analyses of the metals markets. My contention is that anybody

with a good brain ( regardless of professional background ) should be able

to posit any comments or theories about the metals markets.

3 ) I make extremely compelling, non-mainstream points about the

irrevocable value of gold and the American Establishment's neverending

war against gold. As my wife has often said, God blessed me with

uncanny writing skills that compel lemmings to stop and think...REALLY

think about the mindless catch-phrases and rigid beliefs dumbing down

our entire society.

However, despite the occasional, insincere comments to the contrary, RJ

is a relentless gold shorter. In fact, on several occasions, if you

check back on his old posts, he has made comments to the effect that he

wishes to short gold into the ground. He has declared in a variety of

posts that gold is effectively a relic of the past that should not play

a substantive role in the financial system any longer.

Now, Bart, anybody who plays both sides of a market ( as he so often

claims ) would never make such categorical, anti-gold statements. He is

philosophically a devout New Paradigm disciple...and they ALL believe

gold has absolutely no place whatsoever in the Grand New World Order

they are creating.

So, in essence, his anger toward me is based upon my refusal to accept

his assertion that he really plays both sides of the gold market. I

have declared him to be a phony in that regard. So, he will never

forgive my having called a spade a spade.

In that regard, he is extremely childish and his temper tantrums ( which

I have mocked ) are symptomatic of an inflated ego that simply cannot be

appeased.

Hence, until there is some type of maturation process on his part, I

cannot imagine a scenario yet in which an understanding can be reached

between us.

Thanks again for the opportunity to post on your forum in the past.

Again, it is a terrific site and an achievement that must make you very

proud.

Very Truly,

D. Farfel Cohen

gold has absolutely no place whatsoever in the Grand New World Order
they are creating.

So, in essence, his anger toward me is based upon my refusal to accept
his assertion that he really plays both sides of the gold market. I
have declared him to be a phony in that regard. So, he will never
forgive my having called a spade a spade.

In that regard, he is extremely childish and his temper tantrums ( which
I have mocked ) are symptomatic of an inflated ego that simply cannot be
appeased.

Hence, until there is some type of maturation process on his part, I
cannot imagine a scenario yet in which an understanding can be reached
between us.

Thanks again for the opportunity to post on your forum in the past.
Again, it is a terrific site and an achievement that must make you very
proud.


Very Truly,


D. Farfel Cohen

What do some others have to say about farfel? Let’s see how he is loved.
( For this is what he searches for. Sadly he does this like a bull in rut )

You really need help, I don't know why it is that you feel obligated to attack people once or twice a month you go on the rampages, disappear for a few days, come back acting somewhat better for a few days and then start up again.

CoolJing ( ) ID#343171:
Farfel claims to have bailed on gold, why is he freaking then? Truth no doubt is he didn't sell and is loosing patience, my guess is he has more than just beer money riding on gold. Doesn't excuse the behavior but I know the angst.

ChasAbar__A ( Apology ) ID#340344:
I hereby apologize to all people in all countries of the world. Please understand that at the present time on this otherwise wonderful forum, there appears to be no limits to insulting behavior. I believe that no one is his right mind would write the comments that Farfel has been writing. I don't personally know *anyone* who takes pleasure in seeing economies and currencies collapsing. Rational people do not take pleasure in the sufferings of others. I do not think that *any* country is benefiting by the anguish and suffering which is happening in the world-wide financial markets. No one is happy. No one is smiling about it. I believe that Farfel is feeling ego-bruised, and angry. He speaks *only* for himself. I feel embarrassed by his postings.

Farfel: RE: Insults. Have you left anyone out? If you are invested 100% in gold or gold stocks, based on your own advice, I would suggest backing off a bit. That should do wonders for your mood.

Well folks, I went away for a couple of days, so all that talk about Farfel was not clear to me until I want and read the last night posts. Folks, this forum has seen a lot, however the last night was the most despicable show of human behavior I saw on this forum. I am sorry James, and the rest of people who were attacked by the rabid Farfel, and I would say that anybody who did not try to stop this sheer nonsense is a guilty as Farfel.

Now, if you want to, go ahead and accuse me of being anti-Semite. Yes, I am Catholic, but first I am a human. Reading the last night post make me sick and it would make me sick the same way if Catholic poster was attacking Jews the way Farfel did the other way around! Looks like this forum is attracting more and more sick minds on the Internet - not a good sign for gold!!


James ( Your silence was deafening@I've had some time to think over the unwarranted )
ID#252150: attacks on me by Farfetched re: anti-Semitism. None of you came to my defense & I'm well aware that a large % of the posters on this board are Jews. Furthermore, although the rabid, mad dog attacked my wife, no one spoke out. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. Except for a very few posters on this board, I'm disappointed with the lot of you & think most ofyou are a bunch of insensitive, gutless wonders.


RETIRED SOLDIER ( More fun ) ID#347235:
It is more fun today because F* the conjoneless one has not posted today. It is always quiet and peaceful without him.

RJ ( ..... James ..... ) ID#410215:
You know I am empathetic to being at the receiving end of the club, and I thank you for you stalwart and humorous support of me in the past. The tone of the argument last night was so ugly and vicious, I can well see why most choose to stay right out of it. It was almost embarrassing to read, like witnessing a breakdown right before our eyes. Most were stunned into silence. There are no winners in that kind of brawl, but I believe the overwhelming majority of Kitco readers agree that that kind of rabid frothing is not welcome here. You have good right to be offended.

henryd__A ( RJ - I'm touched. ) ID#403274:

You singled me out... me. I'm honored, to say the least. Farfel's behavior has been inexcusable. He knows it, and so do you. Even at your worst ( rude, that is ) , you still stay within the bounds of good taste... F* hasn't. I have to conclude that either he's gone over the edge or he's pulling our collective legs.

HighRise ( Gold ) ID#401460
By the way, F* and others, Individuals should not log on to this site while under the influence. Your irrational immature dialog does not impress us, quite the contrary, your words are a waste of our time, we are forced to watch you make fools of your selves when we have much more important matters on our minds - like our investments for our family’s future. In the future, please take your problem some where else

HighRise ( RJ ) ID#401460:
There was nothing anyone could do or say that would improve the situation last night.
There was one other time that I know of when he did the same thing - he had either totally flipped out or was under the influence of something. No one can be rational with an irrational individual. One just becomes a co-dependent when trying to engage such a person in that condition. He is really sick.

PH in LA ( Open letter to Farfel ( K-2 is down ) ) ID#225408:
HenryD:

I confirm your difficulty posting at K-2. I tried to post the
following to Farfel and got the same result. Since the
content was promised to RJujube last night and since he/they
has/have been commenting here about his/their
exploits all morning, I will post it here.

All:
Before I do, please allow me to dispell any impression that I am
advocating allowing Farfel back in here. I am not!
Actions do have consequences. Farfel must live with his. However,
banning him from posting at K-2 at the behest
of should not be one of them. With this caveat I offer the
following which was originally intended for K-2:

Farfel:

Contrary to what RJ/Jujube would have us believe, you do not have
to beg his permission to post at Kitco-2. All
you have to do is have the guts to post what you believe and what
you think is right. That is all...as long as Bart
lets you.

This is a matter that I have thought long and hard about. For
confirmation of this see my post of 19 May @ 18:14:

http://www.kitcomm.com/comments/gold/1998q2/1998_05/980519.181455.ph_in_lae.html
which posed a number of questions to RJ. They were never answered
by him, more likely because he never read
them than out of any reluctance to engage me on his part.

In any case, you are correct in noting that RJ seems to want to
be seen as some sort of authority figure at Kitco.
You are not the first poster he has taken it upon himself to run
out on a rail. ANOTHER was another.

LGB's opposition to ANOTHER was predictable. Opposition was all
he ever had to offer to any idea or premise (
with the exception of numismatic opinions ) . He was truly one of
Spiro Agnew's nattering nabobs of
negativism.

RJ's denigration of ANOTHER was more serious and betrayed more
sinister motives. Originally, I was willing to
believe that RJ was merely the consumate professional whose point
of view kept him so closely observant of
short-term market action that he lost sight of the big picture.
He seemed to have no interest in it, lacked the
fundemental knowledge to understand it, and admitted on occasion
that he was too caught up in the day-to-day
details to concern himself with it. Then why was he so opposed to
ANOTHER?

ANOTHER does understand and paint a big picture in very broad
strokes. His concepts go back to the history of
monetary agreements and international policies since before the
end of WWII, at least. He focused our attention on
the LBMA and the BIS, topics I never heard a word about from RJ.
We all gained in understanding from
ANOTHER. One might even suspect that you yourself have been
reading him from your comments yesterday
about the coming fate of the dollar.

So why did RJ want to send him packing?

Because anyone subscribing to ANOTHER's THOUGHTS would want to
buy gold ( and other PMs and certain
tangibles ) to hold them through the coming demise of the US
dollar. Such a person would not want to trade in and
out for mere short term gains and risk missing the big move. But
wait one darn minute! That is not the kind of
clientele RJ and his firm wants to develope, is it? Not at all.
Get em in and get em back out with a profit...nobody
ever went broke making a profit...etc. That keeps the margin
loans maxed out, he real money being made by
loaning the money to buy the metal. I'm sure you see my point.
Let's say a client buys 10,000 ozs of silver at
$4.50 and borrows 80% of the money to do so. Silver starts
climbing. At $7.00 the client still owes the same
$36,000. Wouldn't it be much better if you could get him to owe
interest on $56,000 instead? With the insurance
that if the price declined enough to trap him there he would have
to keep paying interest until he could get back out
again?

So a buy and hold mentality on the part of clients would put a
big chill on profits at Monex. Does RJ understand
this? You bet he does! He is a pro. Anyone who gets in the way
has to be removed. ANOTHER understood this
and did ask RJ if his firm was behind his attitudes. You accused
RJ of shorting the markets and driving prices
down. This could not be tolerated. You, Farfel had to be provoked
into unacceptable positions and language. You
were. ( By the way, your RJ/nazi immitation was not really that
good, but it did have its own flashes of brilliance.
) For my part, I personally am willing to extend RJ the benefit
of the doubt and suggest that with his severely
restricted, professional point of view he loses sight of some of
this from time to time. He is probably not as coldly
calculating as I have suggested. Yet his professionalism cannot
help but color his thinking.

Does any of this mean that RJ becomes the arbiter of content at
Kitco? I say no! He has his point of view, that is
all. Lately he seems to think that his contribution should be his
own withdrawal or your banishment, nothing less.
You don't have to confirm him in this! You are entitled to your
own point of view. I am entitled to mine. Every
poster has something to contribute. But it must be articulated
clearly.

Repetition does not always add clarity. In your case, clarity was
smothered in repetition.

Do not stop posting at K-2. Post better! Some of the more
open-minded among us will be there from time to time
to read what you write.

You are going to defend America? From what? From morons like yourself who are telling the world the stock market is going to 10,000? Probably have a load of gold coinage somewhere to protect yourself too...while telling all your buddies that they can never make a decent dollar holding gold and exhorting them to keep buying the Dow.

You're no different than Clinton, from what I can tell. You are extolling a false prosperity and declaring yourself to be the All-American hero? You're the type of weasel that would probably push stock on your own grandmother while buying puts.

You sound just like Clinton, too. Promiscuous little rot chasing after babes all the time. DO you even bother to wear a rubber, kid? There's AIDS out there you know.

Do you think you can intimidate me? Or any other people who are telling the Truth to the world? F**K YOU!

You best pray that your various prognostications come true, kid. The world looks like it's changing pretty fast....and where will you stand after you've told all your crients ( that's your term...the one you use to ridicule Japanese people, you racist little punk! ) to buy Plat and Palladium, stay away from gold because it's range-bound, and assured them that the DOW is going to 10,000.

Hey, I'll be there with all the other enraged crients who have bought your BS when it's payback time.

You should have paid closer attention to my earlier post in which I warned you to be careful WHO you ridicule and abuse relentlessly. You didn't do your research, kid.

That's really too bad.

Thanks.

You are obsessed with RJ. You dream about RJ. You see RJ around every corner. RJ is tattooed on the backs of your eyelids. You even think I am RJ. This proves you are stupid. I am Jujube, can’t you read?

Oh yeah, everybody is RJ. He is everywhere. You really MUST get some professional help. Other than that, you could always just jump off a cliff and improve the world.

So you tell people the PGMs are no good, in direct refutation of all the EXPERTS on the metals, because you are obsessed with RJ. It seems you are offering advice based on your emotions and your fears again. Didn’t you ever learn you should never let your fears take hold? You must combat youR fears F worm.

Don’t Fear RJ, he is kind and wonderful. He knows what he is talking about. I’m gonna; tell on you. HE will then rise up to smite you into a smelly smudge on the pavement. I will then bring my dog down there to sit on that smelly smear. An so you are remembered.

farfel (@TOM...and my definitive views on Plat and Palladium....) ID#17077:
Copyright © 1998 farfel/Kitco Inc. All rights reserved
...are as follows:

There is absolutely no populist perception that Plat is an alternate form of currency or that it is any kind of financial reserve. In fact, speaking with my coin dealer, he tells me that for the past week, demand for gold and silver is far outstripping demand for plat coinage. Prior to last week's debacle, demand for plat coinage was holding up well ( if not doing better ) against demand for gold/silver.

In the event of a crash, industrial demand for both Plat and Palladium will tumble ( as both auto and computer sales will dive ) . Moreover, in a post-crash economy, in order to facilitate car sales and get the economy back on its feet, I would expect numerous governments to rescind catalytic converter laws ( by eliminating them altogether ) . In doing so,
they will effectively reduce the price of the cars sold, thereby enhancing the likelihood of future car sales.

Sell your plat and palladium...buy gold and silver.

Thanks.

...always appreciate it.

Again, with respect to your earlier query about gold mining stocks, I do subscribe to the view that many will toss out the stocks with general equities in any severe downturn. However, as long as the price of gold remains steady or soars during the tumult ( that's the big question! ) , then I believe the gold stocks should slingshot in pattern, i.e., waves of sellers matched or surpassed by waves of buyers in alternating wave patterns of varying strength. I would imagine the XAU will be zipping around all over the place that day, up and down like a yo-yo. It will unnerve the hell out of most goldbugs and they will certainly be tempted to jump ship. I suppose in all the tumult it is even conceivable that certain currently weak gold/silver companies may be sold down to zero and bankrupted.

So, for those that wish to maintain a steady blood pressure during THE Storm, going to cash now is probably a good idea.

However in the end analysis, I would expect gold and gold stocks to move up strongly after the tumult. This said, it is up to every individual to determine what is his/her tolerance to pain and pressure. For those who are notably concerned, then holding gold equities today is probably not wise. Obviously, the safest bet is to hold the physical only.

Thanks.

...I LOVE CANADA! I mean, I LOVE CANADA!

I love Canada so much that I am very concerned about what will happen to the beautiful country if Quebec should succeed in its quest for secession. It is very difficult for countries to remain viable once they are split in two geographically.

Also, in reference to my falling off the sane wagon back in June, please understand that tone of voice cannot be detected in forum posts.

So, when I spoke of Canada's fate as a 51st American state, I did so in a satirical manner. Unfortunately, with America completely preoccupied with domestic strength at the expense of all other nations...with the ultra-fascists on Wall Street taking aim at foreign countries that do not strictly adhere to American economic doctrine...then Canada's destiny is not particularly positive.

I resent America's ceaseless bullying of the great Canadian Nation. Their latest idea of forcing Canadians to carry identification cards at all times when visiting America is the ultimate slap in the face. Can you just imagine the American reaction if they were forced to carry identification cards when visiting Canada? Think how indignant they would be if they were randomly stopped and commanded to show their special ID card!

America has set a selfish economic course that is destroying nation after nation in this world solely for the benefit of America. Ironically, the tide is turning and America is about to feel the negative effects of the economic contagion it begat in S.E. Asia a year ago.

In conclusion, I pray for Canada and I hope it will overcome the problems afflicting it.

Thanks.

We will also post direct contradictions, in you own words, to your newly stated ideas to show how you blow like the wind or, as another sage noted, you blow…..

farfel (REPOST: Nobody Wants to be A Sucker.) ID#17077:
Copyright © 1998 farfel/Kitco Inc. All rights reserved

As some of you may recall, I wrote several months ago about my speculation that the equities markets would begin to experience trouble in the Summer.

My central thesis revolved around the fact that a consensus of market analysts and market investors ( I personally polled ) believed that weakness would not begin until October.

Furthermore, I theorized that the government would be more inclined to allow the equities bubble to pop during Summer for psychological reasons since Summer is a time when the people would be in a more optimistic frame of mind ( surrounded by singing birds and flowers and sunshine, etc. ) . After a person takes a severe financial hit, he may take some solace in seeing the many other intangible virtues in life besides one's financial circumstances. It puts things in perspective. On the other hand, there is nothing more depressing than losing one's financial shirt, then stepping outside into either the dying environment of Fall or the cold miserable chill of Winter. Truly depressing because those two seasons are seasons of decay and have traditionally been associated with much mass depression and suicide.

So, it is interesting to note that severe troubles in the equities markets began in late July.

Now, the question is this: when will the culmination of the equities markets' trouble occur?

Again, I must say I would theorize that it will be sooner than later. Most of my friends who imagined an October market debacle expressed definite intentions to exit no later than early to mid- September. They described themselves as shrewd investors who would not allow themselves to be suckered into holding equities into October.

So, the mass small investor psychology suggests September troubles before October problems.

The major objections to this thesis have been presented by those market professional investors who feel that, since Goldman Sachs is NOT going public until late October....and since Treasury Secretary Rubin is a former partnerof GS ( with some personal GS financial interests supposedly held in escrow ) , then surely, Rubin will do everything in his power to ensure highly auspicious market conditions for Goldman's public offering...for his own personal benefit as well as the benefit of former colleagues and friends.

This particular objection does have a certain compelling logic.

However, here are the central questions: can one man ( Rubin ) hold the entire US financial market together if the mass investor psychology has truly shifted? Moreover, is it possible for Rubin to preclude the Bear downdraft when it appears Fed Reserve ChairmanGreenspan is no longer preaching the America is Immune from Global Economic Contagion gospel?

Finally, with Starr's impeachment report ready to be released any day now, it seems the President will receive another ( maybe fatal ) blow to his credibility.

Essentially, with a government seemingly no longer united in purpose and interpretation of domestic economic affairs....with a government whose leader no longer commands any credibility or respect from his very own insiders and advisors ( after all, he lied to them for half a year! ) ....with a government that no longer commands any credibility from foreign goverments ( after all, if Clinton lied to his very own inner circle, then how can foreign leaders trust him? ) ....then one must wonder: can this same effete government preclude the apparent urgent troubles facing America's markets and economy?

What do you think?

Thanks.

farfel (REPOST: Greenspan Preparing Americans for Disaster?) ID#17077:
Copyright © 1998 farfel/Kitco Inc. All rights reserved

Talk about Paradigm Shift....only months ago, Greenspan testified that America was experiencing a virtuous cycle, the continuation of the Goldilocks economy...not too hot, not too cold.

Now, all of a sudden, he is finally admitting that America cannot remain a paradisiacal island unto itself as global economic devastation whirls around the globe ( See Article Below )

What a confession!! Moreover, the timing is very interesting as it is occuring just before the post-Labor Day week when a virtual consensus of Bearish analysts is calling for market calamity.

Rubin ( who I categorically blame for allowing America to get into this mess ) must be livid! Imagine...Greenspan is NOT willing to maintain the facade of unlimited American prosperity any longer.

The equities and bond markets are in a NO-WIN situation...raise or lower interest rates...either scenario spells disaster. Lowering interest rates augurs inflation and kills both bonds and equities. Raising interest rates explodes both the bonds and equities bubbles.

The only true solution is to reconstruct the global currency structure AFTER market equilibrium is restored at whatever lower level it obtains. It will be necessary to fix the new global currency system against some kind of standard ( gold maybe? ) .

Unfortunately, America has experienced a false prosperity this past decade at the expense of many suffering nations. As I have written for over the past year, sadly, it seems that global economic collapse might be the only condition compelling the major Superpowers to sit down together in one room and agree about the future direction of global currencies and markets -- without equivocation or subterfuge or lack of purpose. As you may recall, for the past year, I wrote that as long as America felt it could escape the contagion, then I hypothesized that the country would NEVER take the necessary measures to stem the economic epidemic. So far I have been proven to be correct.

So batten down the hatches...I think we have reached a point where it may be time for technicians to throw out their charts. Future moves in the market may be extremely radical, NASB, and as such, highly unpredictable for chartists that are accustomed to steady, dull, trend-like moves over the past decade.

PHYSICAL gold and silver...soon to be acknowledged as the true flight to safety.

U.S. economy won't escape turmoil
effects-Greenspan

``It is just not credible that the United States can remain an oasis of prosperity unaffected by a world that is experiencing greatly increased stress,'' Greenspan said in a speech at the University of California in Berkeley.

Although he did not directly comment on the bank's interest rate policy, Greenspan said it was a time to be cautious, implying there would be no change soon in official U.S. interest rates. ``Clearly, the history of large swings in investor confidence and equity premiums for rational and other reasons counsels caution in the current context,'' he said.

Greenspan said that in the Spring and early Summer of this year Fed policymakers were concerned the strong U.S. economy would fuel inflationary price pressures. But that fear had since abated and the Federal Open Market Committee saw the risks as balanced between economic slowdown and inflation.
``By the time of the Committee's August meeting, the risks had become balanced, and the Committee will need to consider carefully the potential ramifications of ongoing developments since that meeting,'' he said.
