Gold – the final bubble, page-4205

"Afterthought: As a young bond trader, I was once advised to never try to fight the Fed. You can't win in a game when your oppocent owns the ground, pays the umpire, pumps up the ball and cuts up the oranges at three quarter time."

Well I'm pretty convinced ,that our Tim,has spoken some real truth here and thanks for the acknowledgement.
Unless this is super sarc. ,I concur that free markets are molested and rigged and panel beaten into the shape that suits those working within that incestuous cancerous activity,rotting away traditionally conceived "free market capitalism".But the spruikers for CNBS type cheerleading are really facilitators of sanctioned theft.No regulatory agency dare take on the might of those controlling American finance.Billions in fines are just budgeted donations of thanks.Never admission of guilt.
A Banker in a jumpsuit on Tele would be a pay per view event!!!
The same types call us conspiracy,because its an unresearched easy throw away line,but they know deep down that it's true.Their mentality is ,yeah,but so what,get in ,make a killin' and leave the mess to some other chump(a la sub-prime).
But it's shallow/false really,kinda like Lance Armstrongs world wide adoration demoted to slimy cheat,once truth surfaced.
Yeah,how about OBE award winning types like "tie me kangaroo down,sport" fair dinkum legend.Ends up he was a filthy perv' touching up kiddies.In the footsteps of trusted clergy frauds.
Yep decades of hiding in protected shadow comes undone and nuked when a ray of honesty destroys the whinging filth ,like Dracular getting home late after a night gorging out on the fang.
So I'll sit here with my "pet rock",knowing it's no one else's liability and accepted universally.im harming no one.Out of the fiat system and always there,just in case.Kinda like knowing the house is insured while away on holiday.If you need it-great!But if you chance your arm once,and don't renew,well that's when it can go pear shaped.And probably will.
So yeah,dude,you sum it up well and unfortunately it is the way of today's economic machinations.You keep going your way,and I'll just keep to my self.Lets see how it all evolves.
Profits to allBMD.
