👉JP Morgan Fined $1 Billion for Gold, Silver, and Treasury Markets Rigging.

👉JP Morgan Fined $1 Billion for Gold, Silver, and Treasury Markets Rigging. JP Morgan Chase was just fined $1 Billion by US regulators for rigging the precious metals and treasury markets. JPMorgan to pay a record $920 million to resolve U.S. investigations into trading practices over its role in the manipulation of global markets for metals and Treasurys. This is the largest fine ever for spoofing in the metals markets. Scotiabank , who was also recently fined $127 million, together with JP Morgan used spoofing to lower precious metals prices and take the gold right off of the market. The bank quietly settled a long-running lawsuit that accused the bank of manipulating precious metals markets with spoofing trades. One billion fine is nothing. JP morgan has trillions. A billion dollars is like a chump change to them. A drop in the bucket. That's just a small tax on their criminal activities. A drop in the bucket compared to the money they have literally stolen from others. They need to be fined the entire sum they have made in profits doing this over the past 20-40 years. Governments and judicial systems need to punish them severely (not just serious fines but jail as well). And what about retail investors who have lost and or suffered stress as a result of JP Morgan's actions? They should pay compensation for losses due to their manipulation. And they should not be allowed to trade for ten years. These people should be jailed and shut down. They are criminals running a criminal business.Billion dollar fines obviously are laughed at and isn’t slowing them down a bit. It looks like they could get these fines all day long. Crime does pay after all. Manipulate at will, make 10 billion in profit, get caught, pay a 1 billion fine, no jail time, repeat process. Sounds like a winning strategy to me. Silver was just slammed again this week. They just keep doing it. It is mind-boggling the extent of the corruption, manipulation, and greed that is constantly on display by these immoral institutions. Jail time and revoking their license should be the only option. But justice is a comedy in the US. Some people like Jamie Dimon are just simply above the law. The options market is used to take massive paper profits by the same banks that are shorting futures and spoofing prices down, with little to no risk. The $1 billion fine is clearly not enough. If you REALLY want to fine them, make them pay in gold! JP Morgan now has in the trillions in gold. The banks and wealthy individuals have already won by taking possession of gold and silver at discount rates. They’ll be laughing at the fine.Total unaccountability.The system is a mafia-style racket. So they’ll recover that money and its back to the next rort/fraudulent dodgy deal; as usual.

Thank You. For eight years, a group of traders at JPMorgan systematically spoofed precious metals and Treasury futures markets by entering hundreds of thousands of orders with the intent to cancel them before execution. When everyone was short Crocs, the hedgies bought big, causing a short squeeze. If everyone went long silver, the price would come down. If everyone went short silver, they'd cause a short squeeze. The house always wins. The manipulation by banks has been an on-going debate for more than ten years. However, no one has actually demonstrated through quantifying the data on how and why this actually works; spoofing on the surface may appear to only affect short-term trends, but obviously, this is not the case. Banks and the inside-elites are able to short and basically legally rob all the longs on the way down, close out their short positions and then jump into the futures delivery month to take physical. The only way to stop this is legislation or enforce limit positions. JP MORGAN should not be allowed to trade in gold and silver due to the conflictual nature of their business. They should also be prevented from contracting the services others to do so on their behalf. Like HSBC and laundering money for the drug cartels, nothing will change. A small fine(relative to the profits) , but no one gets arrested. Those who lost their money due to the rigging are not receiving any compensation for their losses, and the crimes continue immediately. The Dimon´s and the likes need to be put behind bars for this to stop. This was a slap on the wrist, a light slap compared to the profits they've made. The precious metals are getting slammed again—business as usual. To people who save gold to combat these uncertain times, these spoofing activities are, to say the least, troubling. The fine is not even a slap on the wrist, but rather, just the cost of doing business in order to pocket multiple billions. It is inconsequential to these thieves. I vote for jail time. Surely this will get their attention. One billion is a kickback for the trillions they've made. Wrist slapped; keep going. I wonder what sort of miracle it will take in history to see some of these guys go to jail? This is ridiculous! No more fines; Jail time must be served. Revoke their licenses. Jail the directors. Seize the assets. Not only should JP Morgan not be allowed to trade gold or silver, I think they should have to give up their entire supply of both for rigging the markets. The fine they received will pale to compare with the gains they will make from manipulating the markets. You know they have connections when they never go to jail! It's pretty clear Jp Morgan is part of the club. This is a con game between the banks and the government. Very profitable for the government. It's more expensive to take the banks to trial. JP Morgan is untouchable; they are a schill of the Fed. And the Comex is still doing what they have been doing until the Fed is dead. All markets are rigged. JP Morgan is an agent of the Fed. Their manipulation of precious metals was on behalf of this criminal corporation. This is why the CFTC investigated their silver manipulation for five years and then did nothing. They discovered they were acting on behalf of the corporation. JP Morgan is the same guy that created the federal reserve. JP Morgan is in collusion with the USDC corporation and the private Federal Reserve bank. You are delusional if you think something will be done about this issue. There are no good guys, only those playing their given role. The price will probably never go above 50 Federal Reserve notes per ounce. These men are silver pushers, and I'm sure they get kickbacks from sellers. Like in the movie Training Day, it doesn't matter what you know, only what you can prove. They are all working together .So don't expect anything to happen. Much more importantly, the government has the authority to manipulate the price of precious metals. They never talk about that because they just want to push the metals, so again they are metal pushers. They create currency because they use people as the surety for the debt of the USDC, and they are US citizens, also known as 14th Amendment citizens. JP Morgan are above the law and are clearly not going to have to change anything. It seems whatever they do, the Fed has to accommodate. And there is no end in sight to these crimes. What if the big buyer behind JPMorgan’s gold and silver purchases are actually the U. S. Government. Assuming all the Central Banks are keeping a close eye on each other’s gold reserves (or as close as they can get to China’s).Maybe Uncle Sugar is allowing JP Morgan to manipulate the market to load up (refill) the U.S.’s coffers with physical while JP Morgan gets to keep the profits from the shorts. Since there’s been a lot of attention lately on the fact that some unknown entities were spoofing the market ;and the U.S. regulators appeared to be asleep at the wheel. JP Morgan was slapped with a token fine near the end of the scheme to do some track-covering. Now the dominoes begin to fall, As far as prices of the metals are defined by these markets, gold and silver prices are to be open to rigging operations. By doing so, they cause big damage to the economy, and they are stealing people's wealth. All of this has had the blessing of the US government and the Fed. Just look at how the SEC and CFTC do act or rather don't act, and it becomes more than obvious. This current financial system is rotten to the core because it was designed that way. It has to implode and be replaced by something that is transparent and honest. Bankers don't even see how that would be possible because they are the problem. The minuscule fine is strictly PR and designed to look big. In reality, it's just a cost of doing business, and JP Morgan is laughing all the way to the bank...oh, they are the bank! Haha! The spoofing joke is on us. All this charade is about is throwing us a bone, to quiet us down, to put on a show that DOJ/CFTC are doing their job.They are not. This fine changes nothing. The simple fact is this: the Precious Metals markets will continue to be manipulated, and prices suppressed to support the fiat monetary system AND to enable the rich folks to rob gold and silver from the COMEX for a song. Period. Don't look for this to change anytime soon.And before you think that astronomical valuations in terms of dollars will help you, it just might in the short run, but only at the expense of further impairing the markets and the economy and making life in the future more difficult for our posterity. In the near term, gold is still going to get hit and go back down for a while before the non-choir members rush in. So keep buying the dip. The markets will crash, oh yes, but they will also eventually recover even if this next crash and failure to recover is a function of deflating asset prices. And while many will pile into bonds when that happens, risk-free bondholders who NOW are holding risk-free? Well, they will make a killing. Sure, some who don't generally buy gold will panic enough to scramble for Precious Metals. This will cause prices to go up on this demand, possibly as never before. So for now, keep getting physical gold and silver and hold this in your possession. Don't screw around with phony paper products like the suckers do. With regard to true measurable value, value is only what governments say it is. Currently, governments have agreed that value is digits on silica chips. Thus, currencies are illusions. Not Real value. Pure, uncorrupted value equals only the necessities required to sustain life. Hence, currencies, including all other illusions, are known as gambling or taking a chance. In keeping all odds in your favor, for obvious reasons, you may consider real value before choosing the game of chance. Keep on stacking gold and silver, Stay Free, Stay Alive, life is good.

👉Indian Households Hoard $1.5 Trillion of Gold !!

👉Indian Households Hoard $1.5 Trillion of Gold !!






People in India adore gold. Newlywed brides are given enough jewelry to break their necks. Peasants store their pitiful savings in trinkets. Wise-guys sport rings like knuckle-dusters and tycoons with broken balance-sheets offer gold at temples in return for redemption. Even as economists and officials beg them not to, Indians splurge on the shiny metal. Nobody around the world more than the indians understands that gold tends to store value and that in the end, gold is money . Gold is not just a luxury in India. Even poor people buy gold. When rural Indians have money in their pockets, they buy gold. Indians buy gold for a variety of reasons, such as for its auspicious sentiment; as an investment. Gold continues to command long term value, a tag for being a safe haven; hedge against inflation, asset allocation, etc. Gold also carries a high perceived value and a high emotional quotient. It reinforces the closeness of relationships. Gold coins in smaller denominations are also considered apt for Corporate gifting and rewards for contests or for commemorative giveaways. In 2019 India imported more gold than any other country—about 831 tonnes or a fifth of global annual supply. That is the same amount that sits in the central bank vaults of Switzerland. Indian families are sitting on the world's biggest private stash of gold, and are rushing to borrow against their jewelry as the precious metal rallies to records, and the coronavirus pandemic fuels an economic downturn. Financial firms and banks are using that demand to lure more customers from pawnbrokers and money lenders. Collectively, Indian households own an estimated 25,000 tons of gold. World Gold Council estimates that Indian households are sitting on a $1.5 trillion hoard of gold, the biggest of its kind. Gold is the lifeblood of the Indian economy. Even now, it is serving as a valuable source of liquidity during the country’s credit crunch. From its side, the board of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is considering significantly raising its gold reserves. The RBI is mulling upping its gold holdings from the current level of 6.5% of total reserves to 10%. As part of the move, the Indian central bank would also lower its holdings of US Treasuries. Central banks globally have been increasing gold holdings over the last few years. Central bank demand came in at 650.3 tons of gold last year. That was the second-highest level of annual purchases for 50 years. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Wedding star - The bride has gold ornaments from her head (mangitakka) to her feet (anklets). Gold is an auspicious precious metal which many believe in bringing wealth and prosperity along with the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. Also, if the bride - home Lakshmi, brings gold to her new home, the parents-in-law consider it a very lucky omen. Every region in the country has a unique culture and tradition, which is often reflected through their designs. Traditional jewelry from different parts of India is an integral portion of the lives of people in that region, being of great significance to them. It is this cultural uniqueness that has made Indian jewelry extremely desired across the world. It is often through jewelry that other people get to know about a particular culture and tradition; thus, jewelry has helped enlighten thousands of people about a particular culture. Gold is considered a very good investment scheme and acts as a good asset for the family, young children, and at times can also be used as collateral for availing bank loans. India, as a nation, has got a history of pledging gold for educating children, performing a marriage, and fulfills one's immediate needs and/or unavoidable situations. Dual Purposes: Possessing of gold serves dual needs for an Indian woman parent (especially if having a girl child) as the ornament can be worn by the mother as well as the girl and/or lady and/or women. Culture: Southern states such as Tamilnadu and Kerala had a tradition of pure silk sarees, and nevertheless, gold goes as a nice pair for such attire. Indian middle class, as they have the opinion that the resale value is a bit higher (is even higher if bought as a bullion bar) as compared to artificial jewelry. Since India as a nation has got more middleclass households , the vast number of rural and semi-urban families buying approximately five grams per year increases the count and makes them the largest buyers by large. Gold is considered very auspicious among people in India. South Indians in particular prefer gifting Gold to their daughters not only as a symbol of status but as an asset that comes to rescue during her tough times in life. They wish their loved ones on their special occasions with a golden touch as they believe it brings prosperity in their life. Indians think accumulating Gold to be financial security. Many women save from 2000 to 7000 INR and buy Gold even for such small amount as Gold has appreciation value and it accumulates less space and has the strength to withstand any natural disaster like flood.Unlike cash which may be washed away whereas Gold can be worn and does not get affected if dipped in water in extreme cases like a flood. Gold (and silver to some degree) is the only real form of money there is. Everything else is just a form of currency. There's a big difference between the two. Gold is central banking's biggest enemy. The banksters, through manipulation of the Comex, have been beating the crap out of gold since it reached its new high. Gold and silver taking off would be the death of the effectiveness of the printing press. It would poison that magic and vital tree that grows money. They HAVE to protect that tree. Since 1970, Gold is being discredited by the US because you cannot print gold, you have to mine it and shine it, while the paper is easy to print and wipe your ass with. Like the physical properties of the metal itself, gold's eternal stance as REAL MONEY cannot be tarnished. Bury it in corrosive seawater for 1,000 years, and when you bring it back up, all you have to do is remove a few barnacles, and it gleans anew. It won't be hard to cleanse the smears which the usurers have tried to apply to the precious metal either. Gold scares the shit out of Central banks just like Holy Water scares Dracula. Acquiring gold and silver is the only recourse people have if they think the shit is going to hit the fan, and the dollar will, at some point, crash (resulting in mega price inflation via fiat). The assumption and hope are that at some point, we will start over - and those who do have gold and silver will be in a much better position when this happens. Physical gold is decentralized, and the only way for them to centralize it is to print far more ETFs than there is physical gold and use this mechanism to suppress the price of all gold. Now the real trick of gold is a store of wealth, especially in a negative interest rate system. If you have $2000 worth of gold, in 12 months, you will still have that physical amount, but I do not see it being $1800, do you? Once upon a time, you paid 10% interest on the debt but got an 8% return on savings, and that kept up with inflation better. For a whole decade, you have had %2 interest on the debt and 0% on savings, but inflation is vastly greater than 0%. So put $2000 in a bank or even hold it as cash with the inflation of what you would consume goes up. That $2000 will buy you less in 12 months, and every subsequent year the same will happen to it. So that in the end over ten years it is worth far less than what it was a decade ago. You are looking at losing $200 a year in FIAT / CASH. Your savings in a bank got screwed under the current economic policy, and nobody wants to admit it. People need to get woke on what the FIAT banking system actually is. We were only sold the concept of putting your money in a bank, and it would grow with interest, but when the central bank flipped to zero-interest-rate and negative interest rate, that whole concept becomes fraudulent. Inflation outstrips savings. So in years, your purchasing power falls, and if anything, you have to keep throwing 10% of your total savings more at it to actually keep the same purchasing power. THAT IS negative interest rate NIRP. Interest rates, inflation, etc. are relative values, and the absolute change is the combination of them all. Every single time you put your hard-earned money into a bank, the bank takes your money, leverages it, puts it into the Forex market makes millions and billions of dollars on your money, then give you back less than 1% and charge you a Fee for keeping your money in there... Guys, it’s time to beat the banks at their own game and start learning how to have your money work for you. There are several reasons why gold was considered the best money. History confirms this. It's only in recent history that they have tried to erase/discredit centuries of thinking about real money. It's kind of amazing they were able to pull it off. Our grandparents or great grandparents understood that gold and silver were "real money." Their grandkids are clueless. Key point. Gold can’t be created out of thin air, unlike the banksters' fake fiat currency. Unfortunately, hardly anybody talks about the human cost of the decade long precious metal market manipulation. Hundreds of millions of people or more rely on gold or silver as a saving. Their property has been stolen, looted, and denigrated, and the despair that comes with it goes unnoticed. The constant market manipulation, tolerated and encouraged by the most powerful administrations on this planet, is, to my mind, pure terrorism. They certainly terrorized me, and I know many others who could not sleep at night in fear of losing their savings. The mining sector has been decimated and, with it, the livelihood of its workers. This goes on day by day, just as we speak, and the satanic manipulators appear to enjoy the exercise of their power. We are paying our taxes to sustain these criminal structures.

👉This is Why Warren Buffett Sold Wells Fargo, JPMorgan, and Goldman stakes And is Buying Gold

👉This is Why Warren Buffett Sold Wells Fargo, JPMorgan, and Goldman stakes And is Buying Gold






The big news in the monetary metals these days is that Warren Buffett, the chairman, and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway and famed disliker of gold, sold bank stocks to buy gold mining shares. Buffett just acquired nearly 21 million shares of Barrick Gold worth $563 million. Barrick is one of the primary precious metals producing companies of the planet. Warren Buffett has always said gold is a bad investment, a shiny cube that does not generate earnings or pay a dividend like a stock, or interest like a bond. Buffett also dumped most of his Goldman stake and trimmed his JPMorgan and Wells Fargo holdings. Buffett massively unloading bank stocks is consonant with an expectation of inflation, which is what gold is usually a bet on. Never forget, Buffett plays the long game. And the long-term fate of Barrick is tied to the performance of gold. Mr. Buffett saw a rare opportunity. The Federal Government cannot afford to have the rate of Inflation rise. Therefore, they must do everything in their power to keep the rate low. Printing more Dollars is a necessary strategy. Plus, there's added pressure to control the deficit. Increasing inflation forces them to increase interest rates, thus increasing the amount of our Debt. For Mr. Buffett, this is a golden opportunity. Besides cutting his position in Goldman and JPMorgan, Buffett also liquidated his stakes in Travelers and Phillips 66, a tiny stub of a holding that had been valued at more than $25 million at the end of the year. Separately, Buffett also trimmed his positions in Davita, Verisign, Amazon, GM, and several other companies. Warren Buffett has long been critical of gold as an investment, saying that it has no utility, that you can't eat gold, it just sets there. And that the magical metal is no match for American mettle. He once wrote, Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head over how we treat the shiny stuff on this planet. Buffett dumping banks and buying Barrick Gold is a sea-change. The importance cannot be overstated. He sees global central banks have completely lost control; they’re printing trillions and Killing fiat money. The entire $100 trillion global funds biz just got turned on its head, Max Keiser tweeted. Warren Buffett has an enviable long-term record in the stock market. Buffett’s latest move shows that he is as sharp as ever. Berkshire Hathaway's boss has not been a fan of gold. As a matter of fact, he has often derided the precious metal. To the dismay of gold bugs, Buffett has been the de facto leader of the anti-gold crowd. There has been a belief that investing in gold was akin to betting against America. Just a few years ago, Warren Buffett was saying this about Gold: It doesn’t pay any yield; in fact, it costs you to own it. So why own gold when you could own Coca-Cola. Buffett deserves credit for shifting his stance to the new reality as a result of the irrational policies of massive borrowing and money printing by U.S. leaders, and when observing the unparalleled printing of money going on now. More importantly, it is the huge downside the dollar faces of a debt crisis emerging from this recession. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report.

The stock rose about 12% to a little more than $30 per share, pricing Berkshire’s position at around $627 billion. That may seem like a lot, but relative to Berkshire’s other positions, it accounts for less than 1% of its entire stock portfolio. And I believe that actually, one of Berkshire’s other investment managers, Todd Combs or Ted Weschler, is probably responsible for the buy. STILL, this is significant. One thing to note is not everything Berkshire Hathaway invests in is a decision that Buffett himself makes. This Barrick Gold investment was probably Todd Combs or Ted Weschler. I say this because, over the past few decades, Buffett’s pivoted from deep value investing (inspired by Benjamin Graham) to one where he buys businesses with sustainable franchises ;(think Apple, Berkshire’s largest holding). Warren Buffett is investing in a gold producing company. He's investing in a company at the bottom of a long stretch of lean years, which is now in the beginning stages of a long upward stretch of years of plenty, and that is quintessential of Buffett's renowned investment style. As the US Dollar continues to weaken under the weight of low rates and stimulus, gold will enjoy a value-adjustment upward that could last several years. Last time this happened from 2008 to 2011, gold nearly tripled. But Buffett is an investor in companies, rather than commodities. After all, companies produce things that can be sold; commodities don't. So, then if gold is going to enjoy an upward adjustment in value for some time, gold producers will enjoy bumper profits when selling their gold to the market. Buffett isn't parking his money in a commodity but is putting it to work in a company that produces a product that will increase in value over the medium term, translating into hefty profits. Shares of senior gold producer Barrick Gold rose sharply in value after Berkshire Hathaway's recent filing with the SEC indicated that the company, headed by well-known investor Warren Buffett, had taken a meaningful position in the GOLD stock. The filing indicated Berkshire had acquired about 20.9 million shares of Barrick at an average price of around $26.94. We note the purchase price was opportune, which one would expect, in that the stock lost a degree of investor support in early August to trade in the range where Berkshire took their position. Whether the new position signals a change in Mr. Buffett's view on gold as an asset for investment is unclear, since gold is already trading at record prices. Our sense is the price of gold, and the prospects that it may rise higher probably had something to do with the investment. More importantly though, we would expect that Berkshire Hathaway saw unrecognized value in Barrick Gold, in keeping with the company's history and Warren Buffett's investment philosophy. Their performance is obviously tied largely to the fate of Gold. It will outperform Gold to both the upside and the downside, dependent on where Gold goes. This investment indicates some degree of confidence in the direction of Gold from either Buffett himself or one of his managers. It’s not like it’s too crazy from Buffett regardless, as he owned large amounts of silver (not miners) at least twice in his investing career. The truth is, the success of gold mining and production companies are only as successful as the price of the gold itself. Because it costs Barrick Gold ~$950 to mine an ounce of gold, the company will remain profitable as long as the price of gold doesn’t drop below $950. In addition, Barrick Gold is also making a ton of money as gold is currently at $2,000/ounce, and assuming every quarter gold prices stay this way, Barrick Gold is a great cash cow! And this is what Warren Buffett, the chairman, and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, released in his annual letter to shareholders. Quote: Our second non-traditional commitment is in silver. Last year, we purchased 111.2 million ounces. Marked to market, that position produced a pre-tax gain of $97.4 million for us in 1997. In a way, this is a return to the past for me: Thirty years ago, I bought silver because I anticipated its demonetization by the U.S. Government. Ever since I have followed the metal's fundamentals but not owned it. In recent years, bullion inventories have fallen materially, and last summer, Charlie and I concluded that a higher price would be needed to establish equilibrium between supply and demand. Inflation expectations, it should be noted, play no part in our calculation of silver's value, End of Quote. Gold stocks and precious metals are a good investment (or store of value) in times when massive money printing is taking place. Buffett’s conversion to gold is a signal for other stock market investors. They usually buy or sell solely because of what Buffett does. Gold has no earnings and does not pay a dividend. But you need to understand that all fiat currencies in history go to zero value after 30 ~ 50 years or so. When that happens, the price of gold and silver goes to infinity. However, it doesn't matter because the fiat currency is then worth NOTHING. The trick is to convert gold or silver to real goods & goodies at the right time. So the trick is ABSOLUTELY NOT to hold gold and silver until it reaches the highest price in the collapsing fiat currency. The trick is to hold gold and silver until its trade value against other useful goods and goodies is maximum. It will not be easy to choose exactly the perfect moment, but if you have any quantity of gold and/or silver, you don't need to choose exactly the perfect moment to do VERY well. However, what is most important of all is choosing wisely what goods and goodies you trade your gold and/or silver for when the time comes. Overall, gold is a very small market compared with the stock market. Even a small amount of inflows into gold from large-cap tech stocks may cause a big spike in the gold price. Buffett is out of the banks, because The banks are bankrupt, and a major banking crisis is coming fast. The Fed and Treasury to take over the banking system. The Fed and Treasury helicopter fake money directly to people to avoid mass rioting. This is a time to think about how much gold and silver do you have. Gold is far from overpriced. Even $10k an ounce gold won't be overpriced. Gold is a hedge against economic / currency collapse. While we are being misled into believing ALL is well, and we are betting on a V-shaped recovery. EXPECTING economic growth to continue, consumers and businesses recovering, etc. Does anyone REALLY believe BOTH consumers and businesses will be unaffected by this shutdown, and by all this public debt being printed, etc... The US Congress demonstrates how irresponsible our leadership is. This is all political positioning. What about housing, rents, and mortgages, commercial leases, etc.? Bottom line, if this irresponsibility persists, we could destroy the US Dollar as a fiat currency, as fiat means NO metal backing, just confidence, and the faith of the currency holder!! What about other nations as we are the global reserve currency? We have lost much stature, esteem, confidence, etc.? How likely is it that IMF or the World bank could propose a basket of currencies as an alternative? That action would severely damage our standard of living.

👉Gold to $3000, Silver to $40 before Year-End !!

👉Gold to $3000, Silver to $40 before Year-End !!





Gold has no ceiling because the dollar has no floor. Gold is up $200 in the last two weeks and $500 or 35% in 2020. Since the resistance mark at $1,350 was broken in June 2019, gold has gone up by more than 50%. This month, gold broke above the $2000 Psychological Resistance Level. GOLD is up 35% in 2020, while the S&P is only up 3%. Silver is even better. It is still 30% below the all-time high. Best because it is limited in quantity, used in industry, and still affordable for those with tight budgets. The gold and silver markets are running on vapor. At the same time, liquidity of the physical is drying up. The Comex is TOAST, the crimes have been exposed. This is the physical bull run of the MILLENIUM. The LBMA and COMEX are controlled by the Central Banks, which are completely supported by pure fiat currencies. The Fed has probably created $10 trillion. What could possibly go wrong. The Fed creates fiat much faster than God creates gold. A world reserve currency is supposed to be superior in storing value, but through boundless money-printing, the U.S. dollar hasn’t been able to compete with gold by a long shot. In 1932 the gold price was $20.67 dollars per troy ounce, today it crossed 2,067 dollars. That’s a 99% decline in the value of the dollar against gold. Adding trillions of dollars to the national debt is now having an effect on the value of the dollar. After all, gold is the only real money. Gold doesn’t yield if you don’t lend it, but it's the only globally accepted financial asset without counterparty risk. The bible mentions a stonemason earned one oz of gold per week as their wages in biblical times. Still today, a mason earns one oz per week. In the end, Gold and Silver, without any central banks or pure fiat currencies, will stand on their own. Gold and Silver will be the last standing when all else fiat fails. Gold is money, a holder of wealth, not your typical speculative asset. The point of gold is to secure your wealth, not bet on the races. Gold price will definitely continue soaring. The underpinning was there before the gains started. The certainty that the global economy (regardless of COVID) was vulnerable to any number of pins that would prick the currency bubble; the certainty that Central Banks and political "leaders" will further inflate the supply of/devalue the currency based on their lack of moral character and/or ignorance that members of these institutions display of economics throughout history. The fundamentals are awful and have been getting worse ever since 1913. Never more than in the last few months, has any empire in history (thanks to computers) been able to debase a currency so massively. Too bad the dollar (especially in digital form) can't be used as toilet paper. This move-in gold would have occurred with or without COVID. The pandemic simply accelerated the move. Negative real rates, weak Dollar.Although gold has historically moved up with the dollar so people shouldn't get too worried about dollar moves.QE, which can and will never end, zero rates, and massive debt build-up in government and corporates credit spreads are just some of the drivers. Will gold correct before we move higher. Sure will, and it could be a short sharp move down to shake out the weak hands. That being said, the constant worry about a correction may mean we won't get one until we get to the measured move above 2,200. Gold will likely shock most people to the upside over the next year or two. Bullish gold investors believe the precious metal and its sister metal silver, are on a long-term uptrend due to measures by governments and central banks to help stabilize economies hurt by COVID-19. Based on the current dollar trend and central bank spending, gold won't stop in 2100. And silver next upside price objective is closing prices above solid technical resistance at $30 an ounce. Gold prices are expected to stay above the $2,000 mark, on growing global geopolitical uncertainty. The sheer volume of money moving into gold will likely see the price exceed $3000 before the year-end 2020. There is no stopping it, while fears over the US Dollar, COVID-19, trade wars, etc. continue to be all-encompassing. I agree it is simply a lump of glittery yellow metal with limited use. But then what is the US Dollar but an arguably fictitious IOU? Mania or not, this metal is going higher. And the silver will be playing catch up. More upside remaining, as it's still well below the all-time high. Owning physical gold is the best hedge of all. You can't eat it, but you can trade it for anything. Try that with paper. Gold and Silver do not rot or age or rust or melt or dissolve in water. Food is perishable, so it has a shelf life. Some foods last for 10 or 20 years, yes cans for 30 years (maybe in the shade or buried). Other foods only last a few weeks; many foods require refrigeration and electricity. Gold and Silver stand-alone without technology and have no shelf-life issues and are not consumed. Put some silver rounds or junk silver away so you can transport wealth to the town where you can barter it for food. And the fiat currency, try eating it or buying anything, except through an electronic transfer. It is getting harder. Buy some gold cause you need to survive the dollar collapse and then buy newly created currency. If no gold, then ur dollars will become simply a pile of paper. The US DOLLAR will CRASH amid rising economic and political uncertainty. Fiat currencies are toxic. History proves this truth. They destroy society. Look at Weimar Germany in 1923 and the subsequent rise of Nazism. Look at the effective loss of liberty in the US. The banksters use the paper money racket not only to bleed the nation white. They use their stolen wealth to establish a totalitarian state and a dictatorship. Once the Russians and Chinese choose to use gold to back up their currencies and dump the US dollar, gold will rise to significant levels. The only problem is that there might not be enough gold to support a currency. Gold will continue to rise if one believes that the US dollar will weaken further. The bonds as an asset class are dead. Most people haven't realized this yet, and when they do, capital will rush into anything other than bonds. Of course, rates won't rise since the Fed will be controlling the curve. This move into Precious Metals is a teeny, tiny slice of the bond market. Even PIMCO recently said you must own gold. The Central banks around the world kept holding on to their gold, despite its price reaching all-time highs such as now. Russia, China, and Germany, and quite a few others have been increasing their gold reserves. China almost certainly has the biggest gold hoard in the world. It has been estimated to be a 30,000-ton stash. They won't declare it, because it would raise the value of the Yuan. Going over to a gold standard is tricky, if you have no gold, your currency will be worthless, if you have a lot of gold, your currency will become so valuable that exports would collapse. The German people own a lot more gold than the German Government, most of the Middle East and Asia have high private gold ownership. The Chinese Government actually advises people to buy gold, and every bank in China sells gold. But police states like the US could and probably will confiscate private gold. For those living in the US, you probably better buy silver, less chance the Government will steal your silver. Since early 2012, JP Morgan’s stockpile of physical silver has grown from less than 5 million ounces to more than 55 million ounces of physical silver. Clearly, someone over at JP Morgan is convinced that physical silver is a great investment. This is THE BIGGEST STOCKPILE OF PHYSICAL SILVER IN HISTORY. And still, massive Precious Metals paper contract dumping goes on and on. Every day the banksters are digging their hole deeper in a frenzy. People are waking up to what’s happening and demanding physical metal. They don’t want forwards anymore. Comex is a paper market. She wears delivery the way a streetwalker ways jewelry and furs. She can do her job without them, and under it all, she's just a whore. Comex fraud can settle in fiat funny money notes, that is why it lasted so long. But what happens when those fiat notes are worthless and less every day? They can still settle in paper, but nobody wants paper. There will be some interesting times in the Precious Metals market soon. They can manipulate the price for a very long time, but no one can suspend the rules of economics forever. Get Your Gold And Silver Now Before They’re All Gone. Gold is still the safest investment. The Gold And Silver Markets Are Setting Up For A Historic Worldwide Mania. In my view, the gold price will continue to rise and will be incorporated into a new international monetary system. If you have physical gold and silver, you should hold it. I expect $3,000 gold and $40 silver by year-end. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

They don't even give certificates anymore for stocks. The brokerage firms hold the stocks, and you get a statement to an electronic device. Bastards don't even give paper monthly statements to say you own it. Banks don't have bank books anymore, just electronic blips on a screen, same with cryptocurrencies. It would be so easy for everything to disappear one day, not physical gold or silver. People just don't comprehend the impact of a falling dollar, increased Precious Metals values, economic slowdown, and credit crisis that expected to hit sometime near year-end. It's a domino effect that is almost unfathomable when you consider how complex and interconnected our markets/economy is. The globalists have redistributed so much of America's production to 3rd world countries; it's very difficult to anticipate where shortages will emerge. But the extent to which our world changes over the next 6-18 months is incomprehensible for most people. Prepare to be able to feed yourself. Food shortages are the most impactful. Having pondered the irrational rise in certain US stocks, FAAMGs, whose prices bear no relation to their fundamentals, It dawned on me as to what is happening. Shares are trading up purely because of one reason - fraud - illegal insider trading, illegal corporate share repurchases, and outright market manipulation. You don't collect Apple shares like fine art because they aren't fine art. And you don't buy shares in companies in a failing economy as a hedge. This is a giant fraud and nothing else. Effectively the market is saying the currency is debased and of decreasing value; we have no faith in the Government or the Fed to keep the value of their I owe You's. However, we trust Apple more than the Fed and will swap degraded dollars for Apple stock certs as being a more reliable store of value. The Fed's REAL mandate is to make the elite corps of Banksters as wealthy as possible. The financial system has been turned over to the Federal Reserve Board. That Board administers the finance system by authority of a purely profiteering group. The system is Private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people's money. The desire for gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Leave me a comment. Subscribe.

👉How to Invest in Gold - Physical Gold (Bullion) vs. ETFs

👉How to Invest in Gold - Physical Gold (Bullion) vs. ETFs






Gold price this week broke the 2011 all-time high of $1,920. I have never considered the $1,920 level important. Since gold has in the last couple of years made new highs in all other currencies, it was always clear that the high for gold in dollars would be breached. Only surprising that it took 11 years. But we must remember that gold is not going up, but the dollar is collapsing. Just this century, the dollar has lost 85% of its value in real terms – gold. As the dollar reaches its intrinsic value of zero in the next few years, it is obviously totally meaningless to measure gold in dollars since the price in worthless fiat currency will be infinite. Gold and silver are not investment; they are savings accounts. pure and simple. Gold and silver are real money, so it is the choice for people with integrity, intelligence, and responsible people who want to protect the value of their savings. Gold and silver is the enemy of the Fed's unlimited fiat currency creation, creating massive under-reported inflation and is the enemy of the government's continuously increasing spending to create unpayable budget deficits. Therefore, the virtuous, rational-thinkers choose gold and silver over the evil monsters. Every time Gold looks like hitting two grand, the bankers' monkey hammer it back down. But it keeps going back up. The severity with which JPM and the fed metal manipulators hit the gold breakout, clubbing it down temporarily, reveals how desperate they are to prevent any price runaway that will reveal the impending failure of their ill-conceived, hail-mary effort to forestall the ongoing credit and financial collapse. While Gold Silver prices are on fire. The Fed and the Corrupt Crooks on Wall St. are in a panic and are very desperate. Do not sell your gold or silver cause you ain't seen nothing yet. GOLD IS KING. The Federal Reserve knows this is all over. Their final hail mary. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Thank You. Investing directly in commodities, such as gold or oil, tends to be more difficult for investors than investing in stocks and bonds. A major reason for this is that stocks and bonds are readily transferable and easily accessible to the average investor. Traditionally, commodities have been more difficult to invest in due to the complex way in which they trade through the futures and options markets. In other words, an investor can't just buy a barrel of oil. Precious metals have been a store of wealth for millennia. Owning coins, bars, or jewelry used to be the only option to invest in gold, silver, or platinum, but today’s investors have a number of alternatives. In addition to bars and coins, you can also hold precious metals certificates, metals-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and closed-end bullion funds. Gold is more accessible to the average person because an investor can easily purchase gold bullion (gold in its physical form) from a dealer or, in some cases, from a bank. However, with the advent of more advanced financial instruments, gold, along with other commodities, has become much easier to invest in without having to buy the physical metal. There are now exchange-traded funds (ETF) that replicate the movements of the underlying commodity, giving investors direct exposure. While not every commodity has an ETF, both gold and oil have ETFs. For example, the SPDR Gold Shares (ticker symbol GLD) trades on the New York Stock Exchange and can be traded at any time throughout the trading day. Each share of the ETF represents one-tenth of an ounce of gold, so if gold is currently $1,9500 an ounce, the gold ETF will trade at $150 per share. This investment product is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to access the gold market. In general, investors looking to invest in gold directly have three choices: they can purchase the physical asset, they can purchase an ETF that replicates the price of gold, or they can trade futures and options in the commodities market. #1 Physical Gold. Physical gold provides the most direct exposure to gold. Gold in bulk form is referred to as bullion, and it can be cast into bars or minted into coins. Gold bullion’s value is based on its mass and purity rather than by monetary face value. Even if a gold coin is issued with a monetary face value, its market value is tied to the value of its fine gold content. Investors can buy physical gold from government mints, private mints, precious metal dealers, and jewelers. Because different sellers may offer the exact same item at different prices, it is important to do your research to find the best deal. When you purchase physical gold, you must pay the full price. Physical gold ownership involves a number of costs, including storage and insurance costs, and the transaction fees and markups associated with buying and selling the commodity. There can also be processing fees and a small lot of fees for investors making small purchases. While collectively, these costs may not significantly affect someone looking to invest a small portion of their portfolio in gold, the costs may become prohibitive for investors seeking to gain larger exposure. Bars and coins are the most direct way to hold precious metals. Government minted bars and coins like the American Gold Eagle or Canadian Maple Leaf have a guarantee of the purity and can be purchased through authorized dealers. However, when holding bullion directly, investors are responsible for its storage and insurance and their ongoing costs. Also, bullion dealers charge a mark-up to your purchase price of coins and bars and buy them back at a discount. As well, bars and coins may not be easily traded. In the U.S., precious metals are considered to be collectibles like art, rare books, and fine wine. Provided you hold it for more than one year, for tax purposes, the capital gains tax on your net gain from selling a collectible is 28%. This level of tax is considerably higher than the tax rate on most net capital gains, which is an average of 15% for most taxpayers, according to the IRS. #1 If you sell a collectible in less than one year, the proceeds will be taxed as ordinary income. #2 Gold ETFs. Unlike physical gold, ETFs can be purchased on margin, meaning that investors only front a percentage of the investment’s value. ETFs allow investors to access gold while avoiding the costs and inconvenience of markups, storage costs, and security risks of holding physical gold. An investor will lose a percentage of his or her investment’s value each year to the fund’s expense ratio. An expense ratio is the recurring annual fee charged by funds to cover its management expenses and administrative costs. Precious metals exchange-traded portfolios are a popular way to gain exposure to precious metals without the inconvenience of storing and insuring physical bullion. Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and Closed-End Funds provide investors with access to physical bullion with the daily liquidity of an exchange-traded security. Exchange-traded bullion funds are open-ended funds that issue shares backed by metals. Investors do not have direct beneficial ownership of the bullion and have no option to exchange their shares for physical metal. If investor demand outpaces available shares on a given trading day, the ETF will issue more shares to satisfy the demand and acquire more metal with the proceeds. Conversely, when there are more investors selling than buying, the ETF will redeem shares and sell the equivalent value of the metal. While bullion ETFs mostly hold allocated metals, they also hold unallocated metals to facilitate the creation and redemption of shares. In addition, the custodian that stores the metal is typically a bullion bank, which can create counterparty risk in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency. While bullion ETFs mostly hold allocated metals, they also hold unallocated metals to facilitate the creation and redemption of shares. In addition, the custodian that stores the metal is typically a bullion bank, which can create counterparty risk in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency. In the U.S., for tax purposes, bullion ETFs are considered collectibles by the IRS. The capital gains tax on an investor’s net gain from selling a collectible is 28%. #3 Closed-End Bullion Funds. Closed-end bullion funds are similar to ETFs, but issue units through initial public offerings and follow-on offerings and can cancel units through buybacks. The units are usually fully backed by allocated bullion. Because there is a fixed number of units at any given time, they may trade at a premium or a discount to their net asset value, depending on investor demand and whether there is an option to redeem for physical metal. Some closed-end funds are considered Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFIC) and may offer more favorable tax treatment compared to coins, bars, precious metals certificates, and ETFs for non-corporate U.S. investors. Conclusion: The transaction costs associated with gold ETFs are often lower than the costs related to the purchase, storage, and insurance of physical gold. It is important to research the various costs, fees, and associated expenses of each type of investment to determine the investment that is both affordable and suitable for your portfolio. Precious metals ETFs may seem like an easy way to invest in gold and silver. But investors should understand that convenience comes at a price. My opinion is gold doesn't stop going up this time. The more they monkey hammer it, the more people will buy it. A self-fulfilling prophecy. Time to choose people. Paper or Gold? How strong is your faith in your government?

👉Silver above $23 -- The Great Silver Rush of 2020 has Begun!

👉Silver above $23 -- The Great Silver Rush of 2020 has Begun!






Silver Futures Spike Above $23, that's a ten percent gain. But it has a long way to go. Still seems cheap with all the Monopoly money being printed. Silver is the new TESLA chart. The trip from 20 to 30 should be a fast one. It was certainly fast on the way down. There is a big reversal of the gold/silver ration afoot; this is a very positive indicator. After decades of being suppressed, the precious metals are horribly mispriced. Perhaps instead of a traditional price rally (which might or might not be sustainable), what we are witnessing right now is the market re-pricing the physical metals at a more realistic level. Silver barely moved up 10% yet after waiting nine years. The huge jump in silver in the last few days has been ignored by the Mainstream Media. The talking heads on the business channels are still mentioning gold's rise lately but haven't said anything about silver just doing a 20% jump this week. This silver news is still under the wire to them, or they've been told to not talk about it. This gibes with my theory that pro-real-money stories must be kept from the public/masses. If these stories weren't blocked, more man on the street types might begin considering silver as a safe haven asset they need to have. It's a given the big money is not going to send any public signal they are going big into gold or silver. Among other things, this would get them expelled from the Fiat Status-Quo Club overnight and would jeopardize all their investments in fiat assets (mainly the stock market). So if the silver suppression effort is going to be defeated or over-run, it will have to come from grassroots small investors. But this is not likely to happen if pro-silver and gold stories continue to be taboo in the Mainstream Media. Another way to keep the man on the street from considering silver as a smart investment is to knock its price down at regular intervals, usually for no understandable reason. Think we all knew the price of gold and silver would have to start moving up at some point. You just cannot keep hemorrhaging physical metal. Every savvy investor knows that silver and gold were getting ready to soar (given the collapsing economy and the massive amount of fiat creation that was inevitably coming. Savvy investors would have still been BUYING all the silver they could and holding on to every silver position they had, knowing what was to come. Given the thousands of applications for silver, especially electronic, medical, military, water purification, etc. We cannot live without it. The United States Geological Survey, USGS, which keeps tabs on all elements and their availability, wrote a decade ago that the planet would run out of silver within 20 years. We are halfway there. Just look at the recovery of ounces/ton by the silver miners over the past 20 years, from ounces to grams. USGS rating of continental U.S. reserves put silver/ gold ratio at 14. All of human history is around 16. Right now, we are what, 80? So silver has a lot of upside potential given the equally (and arguably more so) demand for gold. The question isn't whether it will get to $50 again, it's what multiple of $50 we'll see over the next couple of years. A mere doubling seems more than a bit conservative, given the extreme amount of new debt that is now in the system, not to mention the stored energy of a nine-year bear market. We should see at least $150 sometime before 2022. Gold is a currency. It is still, by all evidence, a premier currency, that no fiat currency, including the dollar, can match. Gold still represents the ultimate form of payment in the world. Fiat money in extremis is accepted by nobody. Gold is always accepted. And that was Alan Greenspan saying it, not me. King dollar is dead! Long live King Gold and Queen Silver! The canary is out of the cage. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report.

Thank You. So, either the price suppression cartel has given up, or there are too many holes in the dam. I hate the silver being stated in dollars. It should be the price of a dollar stated in silver. And why the delight in calculating a dollar profit if the dollar is going to hell in a handbasket. I think it's safe to say this: If silver can't break free and soar now, it never will. Silver is actually doing now what it was supposed to be doing years ago. The market is still as corrupt as ever. They can knock it down whenever they want, by as much as they want. Now if they can't do this anymore, or have quit suppressing the price, something big might have changed. But I don't think they've given up on the suppression efforts yet. The suppression efforts might be occurring even now. That is, the big spike we've seen recently could have been even bigger absent price suppression efforts. Yes, they are going to let silver and gold rise, but they are going to try to limit/contain these increases. So the man on the street doesn't suddenly start considering silver as wise insurance. For example, wait for the next big story that a vaccine is imminent. This will create a major spike in the stock market, and will probably be used as the excuse to beat down silver and gold, massively. This kind of volatility in silver is common. Curb your enthusiasm. It's an insurance policy, not a lottery ticket. Moves like this are cause for caution. As much as we all want to dance of The FED's grave, that event is going to be very bitter medicine. To me, the paper market on silver is nothing but infiltration and corruption of silver. A dollar was equal to one ounce of silver, not one ounce of silver equaled a dollar. Once you start trying to get more paper with your silver, you become focused on Fed-bucks......., and that is the scheme. Because Fed-bucks are your enslavement, they are debt, and their "value" is controlled by those that would control you through its manipulation. Let silver go up in dollars, and all of a sudden, everyone wants silver so they can trade it for more Fed-bucks. If we don't break the debt-dollar-Fed-buck system and find a way to debt-free, independent money, our slavery will only get deeper from here. Not going to break their chains without a fight. The dollar is one ounce of silver by definition. What we have are not dollars. What we have now has been devalued by about 99%. Therefore silver is worth closer to 100 dollars -- and that's just today. Either you can buy stock symbols in the paper "market" from the banksters, or you can exchange the debt-based money for real money, gold, and silver, while the central banks are buying gold. The gold and silver ETFs are the paper market, which helps the banksters manipulate the prices. Keep printing your Monopoly money, Mr. Powell. We the people all know you are enriching the wealthy at the expense of the middle class and poor. The dollar's days are numbered. The King Dollar brigade is out fighting busily on all fronts today, silver, gold, cryptos, oil futures. It's becoming a tough job trying to keep the US Dollar alive. We're now mere weeks away from US food riots/looting. We all know the outcome, and now it's just a matter of whose timeline will win, breakdown before or after the US Presidential election? The silver war is fun to watch, with all these big traders trying to avoid getting killed. The CFTC will broker a deal for staggered delivery, and there won't be a peep about it in the media. Watch how quiet this will get now. The CFTC really is a massively corrupt agency staffed by insider traders/traitors. It's sad. I view them and even the SEC as little more than gatekeepers allowing this gigantic price suppression fraud to continue. Clearly, they all have support from the US government, who, no doubt, wants there to be no exit from the Dollar. It's not a supply-demand situation that runs the price of silver. It's a monetary metal, and all monetary metals skyrocket every so often when fiat currencies collapse. Worlds largest fiat currency has been so abused. It's going to collapse like a tent made out of toilet paper in a hurricane. All the FIATS will collapse together. It will be epic. The value of silver must always be stated in ounces and never in dollars. To do otherwise is like valuing your garden in terms of fallen leaves. The US debt clock says silver should be over $1000, and gold many times that. In truth, this is what is coming on the energy cliff, and currency reset horizon. Countries will become solvent again by reversing the price suppression mechanism to the upside. Silver could likely be $500 by early 2022. And gold likely above ten thousand. Eric Sprott just announced he's buying 1.5 Billion of silver. Sprott is putting a Hunt Brother to these Comex scums butt with a 1.5 billion ounce plan to purchase over the next 25 months. It's a perfect setup as the Fed cannot call him like they did Hunt in as he owns a physically-backed silver fund for investors. He will never tell you this, but his fund by law has to store the silver bullion in the Bank of Canada for the PSLV holders. CANADA wants its silver back. Ha! just joking, as Trudeau has nothing to do with it, but his Central Bank will be stacking hard in an inadvertent way. The US Mint just had an emergency conference with government officials about their ongoing ability to sourcing silver. Of course, that meeting was top secret and not a peep about what was discussed. The government does not have a silver stockpile like back then anymore. They will most likely use the excuse that they can't find any and shut down most likely, which is against the law, by the way. But Ron Paul isn't around anymore to keep their butt in line. In other news, Pan American, the world's largest silver producer, is shutting down 2 of its biggest mines in Peru by order of the Peruvian government due to COVID 19. So do you like Eagles? Might wanna grab those now if so. Buckle up kiddies and grab every silver earring you can because this one is going to be a moonshot for the ages methinks ; with the Government printing currency like water. Hurry up and use that COVID infected benjamins to buy. Silver is not even where it was 40 years ago, but the bankers' trolls are talking about parabolic rises to scare you out of your silver position. And for your interest, 5-10 or even 20-25 percent rises are nothing when we're talking about the price of a rare and valuable item like silver ;whose value has been suppressed by the bankers for half a century. Your call. Physical is the smart move here, avoid the fake and manipulated paper game. Stack silver for the grandkids. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Leave me a comment. Subscribe.

Germany and The Whole Europe on the verge of a Disastrous Economic Cliff Edge

Germany and The Whole Europe on the verge of a Disastrous Economic Cliff Edge






Germany and The Whole Europe on the verge of a Disastrous Economic Cliff Edge. The eurozone economy will drop deeper into recession this year. Germany, the single largest and strongest economy in Europe and the world's fourth-largest economy, is already feeling the pinch. The impact of the coronavirus has seen Germany suffer its widest fall in production and output since the financial crisis a decade ago. The German economy will shrink by 6.3 percent this year. German Exports contracted by 3.1 percent. The Rest of Europe is not in any better shape. In fact, the French GDP is shrinking by 5.8 percent, Spain's GDP by 5.2 percent, Italy's GDP by 4.7 percent, and The Netherlands GDP by 1.7 percent. For the 27 countries that comprise the EU, a downturn of 8.3% is expected in 2020. The coronavirus crisis will push Europe into a deeper recession than originally thought. Europe’s coronavirus outbreak will be the biggest peacetime economic shock on record. And don't expect the European banks to help. Banks may face a tsunami of problems as three factors collide: rise in non-performing loans, deflationary pressures from a prolonged crisis, and central bank keeping negative rates that destroy banking profitability. The Euro-Zone was already in deep trouble before CoVid-19 hit, the weakness that started in 2017 never ended. The region simply isn't competitive. In the fourth quarter, even Germany entered a recession. France, Spain, and Italy are looking at continued large unemployment levels. Add to this the fact the EU lacks technological and intellectual property and is falling further behind China and the US. Recently they started promoting a huge stimulus package. To fund the €750BN package, the EU would borrow on financial markets and put in place a suite of proposed new EU taxes and levies to pay back the debt over the coming decades. Characterizing the current debacle as a deep recession is actually optimistic. The ongoing debasement of fiat, coupled with raging deflation, ensures a very entertaining near future of the deflation/inflation tango. The ongoing destruction of currency is provoking flights of funds into precious metals and crypto. The banking class in the EU is a cabal of lizards. They have been hiding risk for decades, and it has only gotten worse since the introduction of the Euro. In the Mediterranean countries, vast overvaluation of dodgy investments in property means that most of the Med banks are technically insolvent. One day the sacred cows will come home to roost.

Thank You. The EU economy is expected to experience a deeper recession this year than previously thought,... as the lifting of COVID-19 lockdown measures is proceeding at a slower pace than assumed in its Spring Forecast. According to the Summer 2020, Economic Forecast released on Tuesday. The EU economy will contract 8-point-7 percent in 2020. The contraction is significantly greater than the 7-point-4 percent projected in the previous forecast. Experts cite the far longer period of disruption and lockdown taking place in the second quarter of 2020. The challenge of unwinding stimulus is a lesson that’s long been apparent to central banks. More than a decade after the financial crisis, many had barely moved policy off emergency settings. Their efforts to get back to a more normal stance were on various occasions, scuppered by sluggish growth, weak inflation, or market volatility. European Governments have already pumped billions into support schemes and blown out their budgets in the process. Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government has vowed to spend whatever it takes to get the country growing again, including extending its renowned Kurzarbeit wage-support program. After years of German budget surpluses, that’s been welcomed by other nations, but the country is a rare exception in Europe. Most of its peers face stressed finances. Across Europe, many economies will suffer double-digit slumps in output in 2020. The big hit will be this quarter, the peak of lockdown restrictions. That’s almost certain to be followed by a steep rebound, but rocketing GDP numbers don’t necessarily translate into a sustainable recovery. The 19-nation euro region is set to shrink more than 8% this year, and European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde has warned that the pandemic will change parts of the economy permanently. Hundreds of thousands of workers are already facing unemployment, with companies from Deutsche Lufthansa AG -- Germany’s severely battered airline that just secured a government bailout -- to plane maker Airbus SE preparing to cut jobs. Furthermore, the two main private banks in Germany, Deutsche Bank, and Commerzbank would be on the verge of bankruptcy. The fourth regional bank, NordLB, was bailed out with state aid, which essentially ignored the current bail-in rules (instead applied everywhere else in Europe). And last November, the rating agency Moody revised its outlook on the German banking system downwards (from stable to negative). German cars are now only German in name only. They are designed in Germany by foreign nationals; the parts are built predominately in China or Eastern Europe and either: 1) The foreign parts are shipped to Germany, where the final assembly occurs. "Made in Germany" - or - 2) The whole car is made abroad, "Designed in Germany." If you want a real German car, Get an early 80s BMW. This is all the endpoint of the wonderful Globalization process. It's all driven by profit margins and tax "efficiency." To the benefit of their respective shareholders AND to the detriment of the average German worker. For those who hold equity in German OEMs, this outsourcing has been great, if you are a Handwerker who relies on domestic manufacturing for your job - you're materially disadvantaged. This current system is designed for the preservation of wealth for the top 5% of society - not the bottom 95%. When worker X makes €15 and hour and worker Y makes €3 an hour, shifting manufacturing from X to Y doesn't create efficiencies or improve anything - it just reduces cost, which isn't an efficiency in and of itself. A customs union only works with similarly situated populations, in the absence thereof (whereby a customs union with a very wealthy country and a very poor one) you have manufacturing develop in the poorer countries with services in the wealthier, something that if left unchecked leads to absurd realities. It's a complex problem which is manifesting itself in a multitude of horrible ways, but allowing good-paying blue-collar jobs to flee Germany to other nations benefits no one except the shareholders of the large OEMs, which is a small fraction of the population. In France, figures from Insee's statistics office, show activity in Europe’s second-largest economy still more than 10% below normal. The U.K. economy instantly shrank by a fifth in April alone. In Italy, even with the debt ratio set to top 150% of GDP this year, it’s extended tax breaks for companies and lengthened its furlough program for workers to 18 weeks from an initial 14 weeks. European governments are fast learning that they’ll have to live with aid programs to save jobs and businesses longer than thought to keep the economy from falling off a cliff. Across the continent, furlough programs that shielded close to 50 million jobs at the height of lockdowns, as well as tax deferrals and loan moratoriums, are being extended even as restrictions on movement are lifted. That’s because the sustainability of the economic bounce-back is uncertain, with many businesses still closed or serving fewer customers than before. The economy was already slowing for three years prior to COVID. An economic recession was expected. The whole world is going into recession at the same time. There will be no place to hide. Let's get real. The downturn in GDP for the developed world is closer to 25% despite the bloated response of governments pouring massive amounts of unsecured funds into supporting zombie companies and unemployed workers. Now with efforts to support social distancing being abandoned, there is a dark shadow on the horizon investors may ignore at their own risk. The GDP has turned into a circus of money rotating in circles without actual relation to average prosperity and productivity. Anyone with the intelligence of that surpassing a St. Bernard dog knows that the world has entered the early phase of a global economic depression. There will be NO "V" nor "W" recovery folks. No matter to what degree the Fed juices the S&P on the Market, there will be no actual recovery. It is all smoke and mirrors with many people at home, behind a computer, due to the COVID virus, mere amateurs, "buying low," whereas, the seasoned investors are on the sidelines. Many of these amateurs are "buying low" into already bankrupt companies. October and November will be the real telling point on the Markets. I've been expecting the quasi collapse of the Eurozone, and especially Italy, Greece, and Spain, for about ten years now. The perplexing thing, however, is that no matter how bad their economic and financial situation is, they still manage to limp along. Their solution so far is to just borrow the money, and if interest rates get too high, have your central bank create money and come in as a major buyer of your debt to get those pesky rates down. Several European countries have had even imposed negative rates to coerce people to spend rather than save the money to prevent deflation. How much longer do you think Europe can get away with this and keep it all going? The issue here is the European recession. But The US will be close behind. And we could be talking a Depression, not just a recession. "The virus" was just the pin, not the bubble, and the real bubble was caused by coordinated Central bank Policy. The U.S. will beat Europe to the cliff and be on the bottom before Europe even jumps off in November of 2020. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Leave me a comment. Subscribe.

👉A Dollar Crash is Inevitable, Dr. Stephen Roach Warns !!

👉A Dollar Crash is Inevitable, Dr. Stephen Roach Warns !!








A Dollar Crash is Inevitable, Dr. Stephen Roach Warns. The stronger dollar era may be on borrowed time. Stephen Roach, one of the world’s leading authorities on Asia, is worried a changing global landscape paired with a massive U.S. budget deficit will spark a dollar crash. “The U.S. economy has been afflicted with some significant macro imbalances for a long time, namely a very low domestic savings rate and a chronic current account deficit,” the former Morgan Stanley Asia chairman told CNBC’s “Trading Nation” on Monday. “The dollar is going to fall very, very sharply.” Roach predicts a 35% decline in the U.S. currency against its major rivals in the near future, citing increases in the nation’s deficit and dwindling savings. He added that the rise of China and the decoupling of the U.S. from its trade partners is likely to end the supremacy of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Dr. Roach is right that sooner or later, manipulating the dollar for our own purposes will come back to bite us. So much of the US prosperity these past decades has come from having the "reserve currency" with the willingness (now gone) to make sacrifices for the world order. The bottom line is that $4 trillion in stimulus has been created to deal with Covid-19. The national debt just passed $26 trillion (130% of GDP). When you create more money, its value must go down, unless other currencies are also being increased at the same rate. While Europe and Japan have also passed their own stimulus, they haven't created proportionally as much new money as the US. Meanwhile, China and Russia have so far refrained from using unconventional fiscal policies. Russia's government debt as a percentage of GDP is actually among the lowest in the world. Not everyone is in the same boat. The US will one day have to face economic consequences for what it has been doing for decades. But what's going to replace the dollar? Certainly not the euro. The yuan? China is even more manipulative of the yuan than the US is of the dollar. China has no transparency, and it has massive internal yuan debt over two times its GDP that is its priority rather than supporting the yuan as the new world reserve currency. The dollar's appeal is that it is 'the cleanest shirt in dirty laundry.' But, it's going to take a lot more than structural change before the yuan can even begin to function as a reserve currency. When people get really scared they go to Swiss Francs or gold. Any asset that can be arbitrarily revalued at the whim of the Chinese Communist Party can only be speculative. The dollar can be replaced by a basket of convertible currencies. In fact, individual investors should do some of that through international diversification. The era of the U.S. dollar’s “exorbitant privilege” as the world’s primary reserve currency is coming to an end. The days of the dollar as the world's reserve currency are numbered. This does not bode well for the future of the U.S. We have lost our leadership position in many areas. The decline will be painful. Oil and gold are starting to trade in other currencies. When the US dollar is no longer the world standard, America is in real trouble. The Federal Reserve deserves a huge part of the blame. The dollar is losing value against all major currencies. We have almost no savings and mountains of debt. We can't pay our bills unless the FED monetizes it. The political situation is not helping either, and it will continue and accelerate the downfall with more political turmoil and uncertainty. Some countries that are heavy US Dollar reserve holders will find themselves losing a lot of purchasing/exchange value. Trump destroyed confidence in the US, and he has alienated a ton of countries, including allies. China and Russia have already started trading oil in a non-dollar currency. If there's an alternative, other countries are certainly open to pursuing and using it. SDRs which were created by the IMF is a basket of currencies, albeit with the US dollar as the main currency. But that can change. With all that is going on in the US, more countries will look somewhere else. What's the dollar's future now that the Fed created an additional $5 trillion in just the last few months! This is an election year. The Fed could bail out every state, city, corporation, and pension plan even if it costs $50 trillion. We are going to use dollar bills as toilet paper within five years. Probably in three years. When the fed is printing trillions of dollars a month, something will eventually need to give. In the 1980s, the total debt was around 1 trillion. We are now adding that much each month to both the fed balance sheet and the national debt. Zimbabwe here we come. The dollar is a dead currency walking. With the Fed now creating more dollars in a month than they used to do in a year, we're going to have hyperinflation like Zimbabwe or Weimar Germany or Venezuela. Massive money printing always leads to hyperinflation. I expect the dollar to be dead within three years. China has been making deals all over the world to trade with other countries in the Chinese currency. The banknote known as the dollar was placed in a coffin by Nixon. Removing even the idea of the gold backing the currency spelled its death. It has been buried six feet ever since. All fiat eventually goes to zero. As the US continues to pump phony money, eventually we will be papering our walls with it. The Ruble and the Deutschmark at their lowest come to mind. First, the dollar falls, then rampant inflation kicks in. The US has done a magnificent job with the smoke and mirrors while debt keeps rising. Now the rest of the world is waking up to the fact that they might not be able to pay back all the loans. In principal, US dollars should lose 50% of its value by 2025 due to infinite QE that will have printed close to $20T by then. But, the strength of a currency is relative. The competitors of the US Dollar, such as the Euro, GBP, and Yen, are in a far worse state than the dollar. If you put $1 in a T-bill in Jan 2000 and held that until Jan 2015 before cashing it in, accounting for interest paid, taxes on that interest, and the currency devaluation over those 15 years, you would have just 75 cents of the original buying power of that dollar left. Investing in the US is a BAD financial decision. The rest of the world is waking up to that realization. The US dollar today has just 2 cents the purchasing power it did in 1950. When it finally loses its World Reserve status, it will jump from $1500 per oz of gold to $30,000 per oz of gold within a year. And the US will become just another 3rd world debtor nation. The dollar is as dead as the USSR ruble or the ancient Greek souvlaki. If you have any, you should rid yourself of them forthwith. You should hold your dollars in other assets and convert them when needed. Don't just let your dollars sit there in your bank account because that's where the damage will be done. Every other asset will go up, some much greater than others. The stock market has turned into a high-interest savings account; you hold it in there and convert when dollars are needed. Stocks will not keep up with inflation, but its better than dollars in a bank account. Commodities will outperform stocks, but it's useless trying to hold physical bushels, bales, or drums. That's why gold is the easiest commodity to deal with; $500,000 in gold can fit in a sock drawer. The dollar has failed twice before in our nation's history. Once after the revolution and again after the civil war. It's about to fail again. Expect your wheelbarrow that's hauling around all of your dollars will be worth far more than the dollars themselves. Expect a 15:1 reverse split on the dollar with a return to the gold standard. The last time our dollar was worth 100 cents was back in 1933. If you peg the purchasing power of the 2020 dollar to the 1933 dollar, the 2020 dollar's purchasing power will look like this .001. We are $26 trillion in National debt alone. States are in debt. State pensions are grossly underfunded by $1 Trillion. Personal debt is skyrocketing. The groundwork was laid at least since 08 when the last crash happened. China and Russia made agreements with hundreds of countries and not just insignificant ones, like England and Australia, to trade with their own currencies and bypass using the dollar. OPEC countries have been doing the same thing. Eventually, the dollar will fail. It’s inevitable. All fiat currencies fail. What’s next? Who knows? It could be a basket of currencies using special drawing rights from the IMF. More than likely, it will be digital, no more paper money. If ANY country on earth decides to just print dollars, FLOOD the world with paper money, then why work or waste time producing goods. There is a reason why China, Russia, Europe, BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) are all deciding to use different currencies besides the US dollars. The US is dead broke and held up by countries that lend it money by buying US treasury bonds and bills, and at the same time, the dollar grows in strength, indicating a strong US economy. This is further evidence of a broke system. There will be an intervention, and then the dollar will eventually fall to an appropriate level, approaching zero. Then the dung will really hit the fan. Our monetary system is based on inflation. The greater shame is very few of us realize that we also are taxed on that inflation. Think capital gains. What a scam. "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." Henry Ford. I'm afraid 95% of Americans are too dumb to get it. Slave away at the 8-5 their entire lives for peanuts and get taxed at 50% while the FED "creates" trillions from nothing. No work or productivity, just money for nothing. The biggest scam of the last century, and still going strong today. Of course, for most in the USA, ignorance is bliss. Endlessly printing a currency may solve things in the short term, but long term, it causes serious damage to the value of that currency. This has been proven countless times in history. Now, do I think that the US Dollar is going to suddenly crash in value overnight, leaving us all in some doomsday financial apocalypse? Of course not. It is still a (generally) strong currency and the world reserve currency. Despite that, no fiat currency is invincible to endless printing. Eventually, the value WILL come down relative to other currencies, and things WILL shift...over time. How long that takes is anyone's guess. Hedge your bets. You'd be smart to keep at least some money in harder assets with limited supply. The good news a crash in the dollar will make America manufacturing and good, more attractive. If the dollar crashes, then all incentive to import stuff that was cheap will be gone. And stuff made in the USA will look inexpensive to the rest of the world. And the cycle continues. The dollar is being squeezed right now because of the sheer amount of dollar-denominated debt in the world (which tends to happen when you are the reserve currency of the world in such a globalized economy in the age of the internet). The danger to the dollar is that there isn't enough of them, of which everyone defaults, and something replaces it. I expect something similar to Bretton Woods to happen again, be the dollar pinned to Gold or Bitcoin or something. The deficits and money printing isn't serving the American people. It's serving the dollar backstop of the global economy. Global elites are getting ready and using the virus as an excuse to introduce a new reserve currency based on a basket of currencies and hopefully some gold too. "What currency would you buy and hold for the next 50 years?" Absolutely none. At 2% yearly inflation, your holding would be worth 63% less after 50 years. The US Dollar is programmed to devalue at 2% a year. In fact, the economy could not survive without that induced devaluation. One hundred ten years of data from Macrotrends indicates silver appreciates at 4.3% per annum with the volatility that creates income opportunities for selling covered calls. Using an ETF like SLV, the metal indeed becomes a virtual currency, liquid enough to use. The reason silver certificates were pulled in 1963 was that the commodity value in a silver dollar for the first time rose above $1. It surpassed $1.33/oz in that year ( a silver dollar is 75% silver). It's now $17/oz. That should be all you need to know about how our monetary system works. Buy gold and end the FED, the dollar is being turned into toilet paper! Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Consumer spending makes up 70% of the USA economy. Most of that spending is on goods we import, which means other people work to make them, some of it is good, but we don't invent and build anything to put our people to work. With COVID 19 mishandling, the spending is quite down to food mostly. The stock market paper gains are included in the economy, but most stay in the hands of very few people. It was decided back in 2008 that money has no actual value, so any saving not in the stock market produces ZERO income for their owners. Our governments have been lowering taxes for the rich while neglecting to improve the infrastructure, health/safety, education, and job training in a changing world economy, stuff that would benefit the American people. Politics has been about so-called social issues that make no difference in people's lives, all about ABORTION, GUNS, RELIGION, AND HATRED FOR IMMIGRANTS. NOW the chickens have come to roost. The U. S. can only make a new currency by default. Its bonds would become as poisonous as those of Argentina. Interest rates would soar. As America funds itself by borrowing money, social programs and public services would collapse, and the military would dwindle away. It would go into immense poverty, because it is a nation of consumers, and has little real wealth. Manufacturing has all gone abroad. America lives by devouring the world's goods in exchange for worthless paper dollars, which were forced upon humanity by brutality and fraud. Once the dollar goes to zero, America is nothing. What is worse, its destruction will be blamed on capitalism rather than socialism, so that all efforts to rebuild will be futile. The dollar being the world's reserve currency, allows the USA to run trillion-dollar deficits because it exports its inflation to the world, and the world absorbs it as the increasing population needs more reserve currency to conduct its business every year. That pretty well eats up the extra dollars the Feds keep printing each year to finance our federal deficits. If we were say Greece, the currency and country would have imploded decades ago, just like Greece did when it tried to run continuous deficits. The problem is our presidents, including Trump, are trying to use the dollar as a political weapon on countries like Iran, which will give countries a reason to use another currency to settle debts. China, Russia, and India are working on such a currency, When an alternative is available, the US dollar will implode, and the USA will be in a recession worse than 1929. Of course, it will fall because what goes up must come down eventually.No kidding! The Fed keeps adding zeroes to bank screens and buying stocks and bonds while propping up hedge funds. It is called the REPO market. In case of a default, The stock market and housing bubbles would deflate, causing losses of up to 90%. Pensions would be wiped out. All social programs would be cut. The price of goods and services would soar because there would no longer be a strong dollar to buy them with. The dollar would plummet in value. Unemployment would be lasting and horrific. And capitalism, instead of socialist central banking, would take the blame for it all, leading, possibly, to decades of misery under socialism. This is America's fate if it defaults. If it doesn't default, it has, at best, a few years longer before hyperinflation takes hold, and has to default anyway. Because, by this point, only tens of trillions per annum can keep yields sufficiently down for the system to function. They have tapered liquidity to $1.5 trillion per annum, and stocks are already slipping into a crash. It isn't enough. Food prices are rising because rather than the last 39 years of the Fed, creating credit and handing it to hedge fund managers and congress. Creating asset price inflation and runaway growth in medical spending and what amounts to welfare, corporate, and otherwise, new credit-money was handed to Joe Sixpack. You can't violate Say's Law with impunity. Creating purchasing power by any means OTHER than production simply increases the amount of money chasing whatever is in the marketplace. It doesn't add to what is available for purchase. Taken to the extreme, you have the situation in the USSR where people had rubles, but the shelves were bare. This is what flooding a nation with credit-created-from-nowhere produces. Under FIAT money, money was debt, so debt was wealth. People forgot that an IOU is nothing until it's paid-back. We now have a world drowning in "wealth" that is nothing but IOU's that depends on all other IOU's performing, when mathematically we long ago passed the point where this was true. All that "wealth" is an illusion. So is training people to forget that it's not about money-in-hand, it's about the product available for purchase. Goods availability is likely to crater in the next couple years, and if politicians attempt to make people whole by creating trillions in credit, all it will do is crush the average man's standard of living even more. Did the Trump administration open Pandora's Box by seizing the Fed's credit creation system? Only time will tell. For nearly 40 years, we witnessed credit-inflation on an unprecedented scale, but because it flowed into asset markets (including the value of debt itself), no one cared. We all seemed to get rich. Now, much of that wealth (in the form of debt, and in asset prices rationalized by its wealth-effect existence) is likely to disappear (mostly chaotically), but goods availability may plummet as well, meaning that prices could rise or fall, but affordability will plunge for many things. Oh, how the sky darkens with chickens coming home to roost. On second thought, that must be locusts. Currency collapses are usually followed by war. In the case of a collapse of a major global currency, that would mean global war. China / India may be the flashpoint. India, with the support of the US. China, with the support of Russia. The current system is being run to the ground by design, so the Fed can issue in a NEW system- henceforth why the Fed is "burning up dollars" to buy it all. We have been stolen into darkness by the evil greed of people for whom we voted. May I suggest Water, Food, Lead, Silver, and Gold in this order. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share.
