Perhaps China’s increased purchases of Copper and other commodities might also be viewed in part as indirect investments in energy. (The energy required to produce these commodities)

Should relative energy prices (adjusting for fiat valuation changes) climb back up due to lack of investment in exploration, drilling, infrastructure, peak oil etc, then offering inexpensive commodity feedstock to their industrial base could help offset the need to subsidize oil and coal. They could in effect be subsidizing their energy needs of tomorrow with their trade surpluses/savings today.

If a global system of paying for greenhouse gas emissions were to take hold, buying energy intensive commodities beforehand could also be a way of avoiding costs related to such a scheme.

You know whenever I read these accounts or listen Max and Stacy exposes such acts by Banksters, I am reminded of what a overall scam most of investing is.

If not for Inflation, how many average people would care about most investments? Back in the day we used savings accounts to earn a little coin on our $$.

Most understand you increase your wealth thru WORK. You better yourself, start a business, develop an idea..This whole buzz with investing-making money is a scam, an attempt to correct the fact these same people have debased our money and now are trying to sell us solutions to a problem (fiat currency), they largely create(d).

It comes as little surprise once you are honest about all this, that these people are as crooked as the day is long. Just about all of the Banking-Investment community is about maintenance of a Scam. These people are bloodsuckers living off the blood of creators, innovators, workers and retirees.

The article about the farmers in India is horrific. Scale it up abit, replace loans with Mortgages and harvest with jobs and we have the Developed world.

I guess the only difference here is that one is caused by nature and the other by man.

Destruction doesn’t exist in nature only change. Destruction is a man made thing. The farmers are at the mercy of change and the developed world is at the mercy of the threat of destruction.

Just a thought!

you just gave me an “ohhhh yeeeeaaaahhhh” moment. 
Maybe my question is how longer can the gold price be manipulated before it explodes. or will it explode? its been kept down for so long why can’t they just keep it down indefinately?? i suppose ’til the dollar and pound collapse. 18 months??

Monsieur Max,

Bill Black has gotta be your number one target for the new episodes of The Oracle. His PBS interview with Bill Moyers is everywhere on the net. Any updates on the new Oracle episodes?? I understand fianancing was an issue. Do a piratemytvshow with it!? i’d pay 2 bucks to watch it

RE: Gold. Where are the oligarchs with the gold? wouldn’t they be lobbying against gold manipulation. If the manipulation stops, they become trillionaires overnight. I guess it underscores the power and control of Wall Street and they’re love for invisible money. Also, a question about physical gold? i was told the physical price never lies about the truth. The price of gold is dropping but the price of physical is still rising steadily. In my experience anyway. I guess the paper price of gold is different from the physical.
