Weekend Watching: The Mother of All Crashes
The Silent Crash is Starting to Make Some Noise
Robert Prechter has a new video out called "The Silent Crash is Starting to Make Some Noise" that is worth your time (and money) to watch. This is a 42 minute slideshow with 27 slides, mostly charts. Prechter narrates. This is a followup to his excellent 2006 video that was simply titled, "The Silent Crash." Unless you're already a subscriber, it will cost you $29 to watch, but it is well worth it, in my opinion. The show starts with this slide:
This is the Dow priced in real money - gold. It is down 73% to date from its peak. If Congress, the Fed and the Treasury had not been colluding to inflate the our currency and destroy the dollar, this is what the nominal Dow would look like, too. And according to Prechter's analysis, it soon will.
As Mises put it, "There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion." Yes, the powers that be have postponed the final collapse for the past several years, but the reckoning awaits us patiently. There is no means, says Mises, of avoiding it. As time passes, it becomes easy to fool oneself into thinking we may have escaped the worst - but in case you haven't noticed, the storm clouds are gathering. There are some chilling reminders that the worst is yet to come, and hopefully spur you to act. The time to protect your assets is now.

Does anyone have the prime rate data in the 30's? I used to
have very detail data, but I have to look for the print out. I wonder if it's still available on line somewhere.

NO ONE? There used to be data on line like this
for the 30's, but I cannot find it anymore on-line. In the data, you could clearly see the sudden jump in the prime rate. If memeory serves me, I think the rate was about doubled or maybe it was more than doubled, but I can't remember. I need to dig up the print out. This is the problem of doing this type of study as a hobby. I study for my own amusment, so when I want to show something to someone, I'm not organized!
This data is from 1955.

it should come as a big red flag to everyone that...
they are trying to legislate (restrict or control) 'short selling' ...why would the SEC do this? i think it is because they are expecting major short selling to occur very soon...

The Latest Wachtell Memo on Short Selling: Did it Move the SEC?
Posted by Dan Slater
The big news on Wall Street today is the SEC’s announcement that it will attempt to curb improper short-selling in the stocks of struggling Fannie, Freddie, as well as those of 17 financial firms, including Goldman, Lehman and Morgan Stanley. Here’s a handy story from the WSJ’s Kara Scannell and Jenny Strasburg, as well as the proposed rules.

Can't afford the whole show, but what a slide!
That one alone is pretty amazing.
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
Gold price is managed...obviously..who owns the stuff.
This graph is your dollar being printed and printed and printed.
The depression was managed. It allowed a whole bunch of collectivist stuff to get laid into our system.
This financial meltdown crap is trotted out again and again.
THEY RUN THE CASINO!
It is their money.
It is their gold.
They created the depression to get things done that they wanted to get done....do some research. The depression wasn't some horrible calamity that happened because of some horrible policies that brought us all down. and "oh my God it might happen again" and "oh my God what are we going to do?"...stop believing their crap!
They are managing you with FEAR.
It all belongs to them.
IF YOU ONLY BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE, THEN, THEY CAN CONTROL YOU BY SHOWING YOU WHAT THEY WANT TO SHOW YOU.
Oh my God look at this graph...Peter Prechter says we are all gonna die!
Peter Prechter is a genius. HE KNOWS WHAT THE DEPRESSION WAS ABOUT....duh.
It was a liquidity play. They jammed all the banks and instituted socialism...they control the money right? They STOPPED PRINTING MONEY AND WIPED OUT ALL THE LITTLE BANKS. DO SOME RESEARCH.
Prechter knows this sh%$. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of finance in the 1920's and today knows how it works...they set up all the little banks and investors with STUPID easy money for about 10 years and then JAMMED them
($10 could by $100 in stock and then, once you bought the stock, you could margin it again and buy another $100..stupid easy money...sounds like a "no income verification" mortgage to me don't it?..stupid easy money)
The fed would not help the little banks with liquidity...the fed wanted all the little banks dead and they pretty much got their effing wish.
Do the research. The depression was a liquidity crank. They shut off the presses.
It was not some "uncontrollable calamity that is going to happen again."
Save your money and do some research. My folks own stock in a "Little" bank that missed ONE dividend in the last century...the directors had liquidity. They did not need the fed to float them...which was just as well BECAUSE THE FED WAS INSTRUCTED NOT TO FLOAT ANY OF THE LITTLE BANKS....and they didn't...who owns the fed? What do the owners of the fed want?
Come on now 2+2 = 4
Seek the truth and ye shall find.
Unify
Or. another way to put it
The truth shall set you free.
ok....brain finally kicked
ok....brain finally kicked in.
if what you're saying is true, that The Great Depression was intentional, and essentially an effort to consolidate power in the financial/banking systems of the U.S.
so the logical conclusion would be that this time around, it's an intentional effort to consolidate power in the financial/banking systems of the WORLD.
well, that's a cheerful thought. the globalists don't have to win in the arena of politics, they just have to win in the arena of finance, money, and banks.
I'm going outside for a while.
Of course it was all intentional
None of it was random. No financial drama, no matter the country nor war was random. They plan and finance both sides and reap profit from the ruins of others. From my post below I am saying I believe for the first time the game is up. First because it is known and second because they have cornered themselves. This situation, this time around is beyond sleight of hand trickery to deceive the masses out of fear to restore the economy. The curtain has been pulled and there is nothing of substance to save it no matter the clever explanations of reasons, blame or coming to the rescue. Nothing still adds up to nothing and that is what they have.
Just check the interest rates back then.
If memory serves me, I think that, at least, one of the interest rates (I forgot which) was suddenly doubled, I think.
Can you imagine what would happen today if the interest rates were suddenly doubled? But, it's not impossible, in fact, Greenspan said that the interest rates have to go double digit within a few years.

Remember the Roaring Twenties
The money was flowing. The Fed increased tbe money supply to 62% A new loan called the margin loan was introduced. These loans could be called in at any time. The mass calling in of these loans resulted in the crash of 29. Instead of expanding the money flow the Fed contracted it creating the Great Depression.

That's their plan,
but they'll never attain it.
No, they will not
They have run out of three things that have always been in their favor. I will let you guys figure out what they are.
very interesting. thank's
very interesting. thanks for the post.
so if the elite want gold
so if the elite want gold and silver why wouldn't you?! tstorey DO SOME RESEARCH! Gold and silver have been money since the beginning of time and still are today! they will resume there roll of being money again.. all you have to do is research world history! so if the Russians, Chinese, Arabs, and Indians are buying--- why wouldn't you want to? if my dollar is being printed printed printed like you say on that graph then I WANT GOLD AND SILVER! the problem is even Greenspan knows what golds role is.. he used to be a gold bug.. but this manage you with fear stuff is being used in the reverse.. get out of gold and silver they will collapse in the depression.. then they come in and buy a limited resourse for cheap.. why do you think Ron Paul wants a dollar backed by gold? so it will hold its value.. in 1913 1 dollar bought what 97.00 buys today.. 1n 1913 a 1 oz. gold coin baught a mans fine suit.. today 1 oz. gold coin will buy more then 1 mens suit! get it!

If gold were not being manipulated,
it would buy an Armani suit and shoes, not two from JC Penney's!
Depression?/ Resession?/ Deflation?/ Inflation?/ Hyperinflation?
Aren't all of these terms used for various crisis situations caused by the very same group of international bankers in various parts of the world throughout history? The crisis is first caused by them and then they bring forth the desired goal such as a puppet regime, more control for them or both.
What would be the exact term for a complete collapse of anything corrupt including them this time that fell from it's own weight so a new system could be put into place? What if that included part of the government, various banks and other financial institutions, wall street, many large corporations, the mortgage industry, the FEDs, IRS and the dollar? We have never had that situation before but isn't that what seems to be happening all around us? If so, it would not fit any known term and maybe that is why it is so difficult to predict the exact repercussions from even the most brilliant, seasoned economists.
In my humble opinion, no matter what is played out and what it is called what will be important are the same basic survival necessities that have stood the test of time. These of course would be shelter, food, water, clothing, some cash on hand, a form of protection, some precious metals and a good dose of humor to see you through it all. By whatever name obviously something big is happening and it has no precedent. Maybe I am being overly optimistic in light of everything, but I think the old parasitic system has to fall to make room for something new to be put into place. What if it creates an opening for enough people to demand a return to our Constitutional Republic and all that is part of Ron Paul's message of a sound economy that is better for everyone? Hopefully, this storm that is coming doesn't last too long.
Oooooo,
sounds right to me. My hope is that while the top players will all jockey for a better position and power, they will start taking each other out.

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ARTICLE ON AUGUST 1ST.
I am not an Elliot Wave theorist. Instead, I am very interested in the relationship between population and the economy because population is the most fundamental building block of the economy.
Take a look at this article on August 1st. I just found this by accident, but this figure is nearly identical to what I picture in my mind. This is a blog and I think if a new article is posted, this article will go into an archive, so just remember that I'm talking about the post on August 1st, 2008.

I think that the figure illustrates the significance of the next decade. This is one of the reasons why I think that a major crash is likely to start between Q3 2009 and Q2 2010. Also, I think that the next decade is likely to be quite different from this decade as the figure also seem to suggest. This is one of the reasons why I am concerned about gold and silver. Ultimately, I think that gold is likely to keep its value in the long run, but the price of gold could potentially fluctuate wildly up or down at the start of the new decade. In other words, I am not predicting if gold would go up or down, but I am concerned about the volatility up or down. And, in my view, silver is likely to be even more volatile up or down.

if "they" want a crash they will have one.
Attribute the effect to the correct cause.
"They" is the cause because the casino belongs to them.
It isn't some sort of "happenstance."
Crash is theirs.
Depression is theirs.
Inflation is theirs.
Gold is theirs.
It is all their stuff they do what they want.
Stuff doesn't just "happen."

but ........ just like the
but ........ just like the laws of physics you have the laws of economics..
and those laws can be violated only so many times till the violaters get caught! this is what so many people on here do not understand! the system has CRASHED! the ones who "own and can everything" are keeping this thing together with bubble gum and paste.. all they are doing is delaying the day of reckoning! and in delaying they are making it much worse.. you guys need to get over your public school brainwashings! Gold is Gold... it has been since the beginning of time and it is still here today! ALL the major empires have come and gone! there FRN's or what ever they had did not survive either!
CRASH IS THEIRS and YOUR PROBLEM
DEPRESSION IS THEIRS and YOUR PROBLEM
INFLATION IS THEIRS and YOUR PROBLEM
GOLD IS THEIRS and can ALSO BE YOURS! THINK!

silver is a much smaller
silver is a much smaller market so yes its volatitlity will be worse.. we see such volatility today! soon silver will trade in dollars going up or down like gold today.. next you will see gold trading in hundreds of dollars up or down.. as the worl populations lose faith in the government script they produce, where are people going to turn? there are 6 billion people on this planet... there are 6 billion ounces of gold above ground and 1 billion ounces of silver.. is 1 ounce of gold and a tenth of an ounce of silver enough for you? remeber we are not the only country counterfeiting money to keep bubbles going.. Russia, China india etc are doing it too.
when the dollar collapses those others will look at there own currencies much harder!

Question
Now that you've got me investing and watching precious metals , why is platinum so valuable ?? Is is so much rarer than gold or does it have a specific use that sets it apart ???
"Obamney care," Nuff said.
Platinum is a metal used in
Platinum is a metal used in car cateletic converters, and jewelry
mostley... it has gotten hammered lately. it was at what 2200.00 now down to 1630! something is going on there I don't understand! all i can figure is that the car manufactures were down huge last month and demand maybe drying up.. also they just came out with a report that they have a process to be able to use silver now instead of platinum in the cateletic converters.. so 18.00 bucks an ounce vs 1630.00 I don't think that is whats happening but who knows!
