Chris and I discussed many alarming events happening around the globe. Like Britney Spears’ sale of her house in California so she could move in with her fiance. Then there was Nicki Minaj’s wardrobe malfunction on American Idol and her beef with JLo. Forget the dollar losing its reserve status or constant and continual manipulation of the gold and silver markets. There are so many other negative events which are occurring just beneath the surface. It is often said that markets determine the headlines, rather than the headlines determining the markets. Or perhaps we are just seeing the pre-holiday calm before what promises to be the mother of all economic storms. Either way, April has always been a consequential month, with both the Revolutionary War and the Civl War starting in the fourth month of the year.
Are we predicting war or worse? Hardly! Just beware of the signs of quickening economic turmoil that the world has been attempting to get a handle on for the past four years.

Peter Grandich has a new contrarian indicator, The GNEMI-The Grandich Nasty Email Indicator. These days he’s getting a lot of negative feedback about gold, silver, and junior mining prices. Bulls are starting to lose faith, but not Peter. He’s been in these markets for decades, and he knows that cycles always repeat themselves, no matter the market. He’s expecting selling pressure in the wake of next week’s religious holidays. Major holidays always lead to thinly traded markets, which inevitably lead to opportunities to manipulate prices. With all the unbacked paper floating around the metals markets these days, it’s a pretty safe bet. 
Chris Mayer has travelled the world seeking out investment opportunities in the least likely of places. He sees Asia driving a global prosperity wave. People in the lesser developed countries of the world, see what citizens of more prosperous areas have and how they live. This has lead to a modernization drive to bring these countries’ standards of living up to the Western World’s standards. While there’s a lot of uncertainty and fears about what the future will bring, this rising tide will inevitably lift all boats.
Bob Chapman joins us again today for our biweekly check-in. Since we’ve been doing the show together for almost a year, nothing much has changed, except that the elites are getting more and more brazen in their exploitative criminal enterprises. Bob thinks that Corzine maybe spending a weekend at Bernie’s or perhaps even several years. While Corzine repeatedly claimed he had no idea where the money was, now it looks like he probably did.
Danielle Park, of JugglingDynamite.com fame, joined us again today, and I’m very happy to announce she will now become part of our bi-weekly repertoire. Today Danielle and I took a tour into the never-never land of contemporary financial markets. We share a common outrage of the world governments. It seems the governments of the world are working 24/7 to ensure the most corrupt and destructive financial institutions survive to plunder the globe yet another day. When will it all end? Neither of us has an answer, but we agree that unless steps are immediately taken to slice and dice these predatory monoliths, trouble is waiting up ahead.
