The world's politicians would never have the popular support to integrate government completely because of not wanting to be responsible for the debt of other countries, its the problem Europe faces now. BUT, if the financial system is allowed to integrate on its own as the global central banks are effectively doing, as debts are guaranteed for other countries ad nauseum, it becomes trivial at a later date for the politicians to be sucked in and we've given up our sovereignty.

Gold approaching a double bottom @ 1300. Break or Bounce...??
by golfrattt53 •May 17, 2013 7:34 PMGold rallied from about 2001, not 2009 when QE-sillybucks started.
What's more interesting is the hootin' and hollerin' about the federal deficit dropping SO MUCH NOW.
They're like hillbillies with moonshine.
Gold could go into hibernation for a couple of years more, its true.
But the underlying conditions for another upmove are also present, a virtual US bankruptcy at some point.
Remember the politicians salivate to give the health care lobby a 10% price increase each year. And the fascists are pretty much into their pricey high-tech war machine and 22 tours of duty volunteer army. - Reply to

Funny how they are telling us to sell gold because of deflation and buy stocks because of inflation.

One place you can read about it is in Matt Taibbi's book a few years ago. - Reply to
How does this CNBC article explaining futures being up make any f'n sense?

If you're so convinced its true, then what difference does it make what the media says about QE.
What the media has reported however, is that QE has not achieved its objectives of restoring economic
system sustainability with normal unemployment. It is failing in its chief objective. And by eliminating natural risks from certain types of debt instruments, it has succeeded in distorting the market price of many asset classes.
Mr. Bernanke is an insane cretin for setting long term interest rates negative, and we deserve what we get for allowing it. - Reply to

by dipinvester •May 17, 2013 9:54 AMGold isn't directly linked to inflation and deflation. It is linked to confidence in government and social order, and returns available in other asset classes.
But it is still right to have a focus on monetary distortions, which are the centerpiece of the modern global economies, as are the rules of law with banking insurance guarantees, capital confiscation by desperate governments, free flow of capital across national borders, and competitive devaluations.
Gold is telling you right now that fears of government collapse are dwindling around the world, and that global central banks have gained the confidence of the elite money, for now. -
