This is great news for gold prices! BUY MOAR GOLD NOW!!

The libertarian readership of Kitco, fresh from failing to comprehend the Federal Reserve, interest rates, and bonds, should broaden their minds by discomprehending chemistry and physics.

Can I still get my Hurricane Katrina relief money?

1) no, the Fed will continue QE. Any attempt to halt it will prompt dire predictions of economic catastrophe by the bankers who are profiting from the give away. Where can I get the deal to rent money for free that I can charge other people interest to loan from me?
2) yes, housing has become too big to fail.
3)and they still won't be able to afford to buy homes. Homes in desirable areas will continue to be bought by wealthy speculators seeking rentier income.
4) Gold will rise, slowly at first, then escalate suddenly when the overinflated dollar drops due to being less and less of a world currency.
5) Bonds will possibly go negative.
6) yes
7) no, deficits may decrease a little at first, but they'll increase again once the second longer recession hits. Once the national debt reaches 50 trillion, creditors will put the US into receivership, the value of the dollar will drop off a cliff, and land and resources will be the things to own, not dollars.

If Jesus allows microwaves to convert base metals into gold, thus it shall be.

[also, bonds has a double-meaning there!]

Ah they "print" gold now... and from beer bottles with Kitchen microwaves.
Bugs will have to throw away their gold in despair.
Lol

Unbelievable!

Alchemy DOES exist... in nuclear reactors. Small scale in terrestrial reactors and grand scale in stars. And supernovas.

If this were to work (and no,it won't) it would certainly give new meaning to "nuking" a tv dinner.

Last year in september I thought the Bernank couldn't tapper because of slowing loans growth.

This year they will tapper, because debt growth is taking the relay.

Unless Obama severely cracks down some loans (students/car loans for example), we are going back to the same forces that fueled the previous bubbles.
See also the new jump in trade deficit. Credit fueled consumption is about to jump.

You can still get your clunker for caulkers.

Bullish on stocks is a no brainer since 2008.

Skank Of America..... a name well deserved.

Above the law. Zero arrests, zero convictions of criminal bankers.

Even Bush had 3,000 prosecutions of banking criminals, and 1,000 went to jail. Zero from Obama.

Thanks , Barry. You're now the worst and most corrupt US President in modern history.

George Bush thanks you.

And a "tip of the hat" to our supine corporate doormat of an Attorney General.

No better place for criminal corporations to wipe your feet than on his back....

Just remember that "campaign contribution" that was discussed. Yes We Can.

I was a Democrat for 42 straight years. No more "parties of the rich" for me.

If I have to be a Poliburo Communist (paired with complete socialism for the rich) to be a Democrat, I decline that opportunity.

Can't wait for Hillary ... just hoping she'll don that $500,000 gold necklace the King Of Saudi Arabia gave her for the inauguration ...

Yes She Can

"They better get their act together or we all sink."

No ... maybe you should get 20% down, get your act together.

Qualified first time buyers should not be denied a loan due to a lack of down payment. It will sink our economy into a black hole.

I already called you out for this inaccuracy, but you're apparently going to keep repeating it because you can't think for yourself and are extremely gullible:

Don't believe you. You're just saying that in a poor attempt to gain credibility.

Call it Crazy says

The banks also had issues with cash being used for a down payment if there wasn't a documented trail where the cash came from.

A lot of banks only look back 2-3 months.

I don't disagree that banks are nitpicking applications on occasion, but the new requirements require that to some extent. I've seen them question $200 one-time payments before to make sure they weren't recurring, but not have a problem with this particular issue.

They put a massive slab on top of the crypt, with a bas-relief of Nancy blowing Frank Sinatra on the central panel and depictions of great moments of Reagan's life along the frieze: Reagan liberating Auschwitz, Reagan personally defeating the USSR, Reagan taking the beachheads at Iwo Jima and Peleliu, and of course, Reagan riding a velociraptor while firing a submachine gun at America's enemies.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

STAY DEAD, REAGANFUCK! STAY FUCKING DEAD!

Beware Zombie Reagan. Shoot it in the head!

I heard the Tea Party was planning on digging up Ronnie's corpse and enacting Weekend at Bernie's III: Bernie Goes to Washington. It's not like Reagan is any less conscience than he was during his presidency.

How did Zombie Reagan greet Obama? Zombie Reagan mentioned much he loved Obama in The Butler.

One thing I'll say about Hitler: that bullet left him perma-dead. No resurrections, do-overs, or undead phase.

Probably so, but I was looking at it purely from the economic point.

On the one hand, I don't trust that the recovery is real. On the other hand, I don't trust that fundamentals are going to impact prices anytime soon. So far, my rent hasn't gone through the moon, so at least I have that going for me.

If you wanted to be really gruesome, you could attach different lengths of piano wire to their fingers, toes, feet, hands, elbows etc. so that they flipped off on the way down, leaving only the gushing torso to hit the ground.

Then, you would also have a Realtor body parts piano wire mobile for your dungeon. Jeffrey Dahmer would be proud.

They did that before (pre 2008), 100% LTV, no down payment.

Regarding Clinton, from memory, years 2-7 offered great and reliable stock market returns. Anyone could have made 20% per year in a low risk index fund. Double your money in 5 years. Ka ching!

I have it on good authority that this is the correct procedure, although additional refinements have been applied, such as cacti.

I wonder if we know some of the same people...
