"Look I’m not one for conspiracy theories but have a think about this.
Imagine you and all your friends were very powerful and very rich, well connected and truly the upper echelon of that 1% everyone keeps talking about.
Imagine you had the power the manipulate markets and politicians to suit your own needs…
What would you do?"
I would send Lehman Brothers' broke followed by Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain and then would ring Ben to start QE1 & QE2, followed by operation Twist and Shout & QE3.
And once all my gold had passed hands at an average price of US $1,800, I would order the Bureau of Labor Statistics to send out some fake recovery data so that Ben could announce the end of QE and send the price of gold south of the Equator.
After this I would ring Ares, the god of war, bloodshed, and violence followed by Poseidon the god of the sea, rivers, floods, droughts and earthquakes and while they were at their job creating fear among goldbugs and thus a positive sentiment for gold I would finance a meeting of alchemists in order for them to teach me how to transform base metals into gold, a secrete that I would then sell to each goldbug separately in Fiat money in the hope of becoming the first trillionaire.
