Governments everywhere are becoming more distressed and desperate as economic realities dominate the political doublespeak. The world is at a dangerous point. Much of what we thought we knew and assumed regarding governmental behavior and economics is beginning to be reassessed. Governments of the world are out of money and out of ideas.

By looking at the charts and fundamentals for precious metals and the miners it is our firm belief that the precious metals sector has bottomed out and the downside is very limited from here on out. While there doesn’t seem to be an immediate rush back into the sector we believe that the worst is over and that now is a great time to be acquiring physical metals and, more importantly, producers with growth profiles. That’s where we really see the value and upside potential. [Let us provide you with a specific course of action.] Words: 792

"[The current]...base building process for gold...has been similar to the 2006/2007 base before it went higher (see chart)....If it breaks out through... $1,688, and in particular, eventually, through $1,791...the short-term target for gold would then be in the $2,050 to $2,060 range.

Congress and the President should not count on the Fed to bail them out of their mistakes…. Central banks are unable to help in the face of persistently flawed economic policies."

By threatening to drop money out of helicopters to fight deflation - to leave a paperweight on the "print" button if you will - Bernanke convinced the market and all of Wall Street that the Fed would always be there to step in and save the day. [In fact, however,] the whole thing was a bluff meant to prop up the markets - the famed Bernanke Put - and it was a lie.
