Gisele Bundchen, Warren Buffet, and Donald Trump

图片
What do Victoria Secret model Gisele Bundchen and billionaire Warren Buffett have in common? Besides fame, fortune, and investing smarts (yes, models have brains), they both hated the U.S. dollar... and may still to this day. You see, back in 2007, the catwalk princess refused to be paid in U.S. dollars. Bundchen requested she be paid "only euros" because, as Bloomberg pointed out at the time, the dollar "can only depreciate because Americans led by President George W. Bush are living beyond their means." Even Buffett could be heard laughing when asked about the world's best currency: "Not the U.S. dollar," he'd often say. Today Donald Trump is joining the anti-dollar ranks, having just accepted $200,000 in gold bullion for office space . And it may be one of the smartest things Trump has ever done, knowing that as long as Bernanke is Fed chief, gold will be a great investment moving forward. It's up to you how you want to tra...

The U.S. dollar was among the first to abandon the gold reserve system 40 years ago, as part of a series of economic mandates that came to be known as the "Nixon Shock". Since then, every other major world currency has done the same. With national economies now running on the fiat capital system, in which money is conjured into existence by governmental decree, there is simply not enough of any precious metal to back up all financial transactions everywhere. But will this stop minor forays back into a gold/silver-backed system? Clearly not. Updated July 2011: 1 - USA: 8965 tons 2 - Germany:3747 tons 3 - IMF: 3103 tons 4 - Italy: 2702 tons 5 - France: 2684 tons 6 - China: 1161 tons 7 - Switzerland: 1146 tons 8 - Russia: 915 tons 9 - Japan: 843 tons 10 - Netherlands: 674 tons Quoted from a friend's point of view: From the list, we understand that US and Europe has a stockpile of close to 25000 tons of gold while China and Japan has only 2000 tons. ...

Why gold could hit $5,000

It's all about supply and demand. Data from the Shanghai Gold Exchange show that China's gold imports reached 230 tons in the first 10 months of 2010. But in only the first two months of 2011, industry experts cited by Standard Chartered estimate that imports hit 220 tons. No doubt, Beijing's somewhat weak-handed efforts to fight inflation are contributing to the rise, as people look to protect their burgeoning wealth from the ravages of rising prices. Even poor peasant farmers in India, if the monsoons are good and the crops are bountiful, will splurge on a grab of gold. These people may not understand the value of interest-rate compounding or portfolio diversification, but they know that gold is an ancient and universally accepted store of value. Gold, of course, is the traditional hedge against inflation for investors. And right now, the inflation threat continues to grow. "Real" inflation-adjusted interest rates are negative since inflation is currentl...

玩纸币的三个阶段

从历史上看,玩纸币必然经历三个阶段:玩实力,玩信心,玩赖皮! 当帝国过渡扩张力不能及时,财力日渐短拙,则必须玩 10 个瓶子 5 个盖的“杂技”,纸币无法完全兑现商品,通货开始膨胀,此时就进入玩信心的阶段。等到帝国财富已被淘空只剩下一副空架子时,纸币丧失了公信力,恶性通胀发作,此时帝国就只有玩赖皮了。 国际银行家们最关心的就是所谓对美元的信心问题。他们发明了一整套经济学“黑话”体系来修饰问题的本质,诸如“通货膨胀预期”、“量化宽松的货币政策”、“资产再通胀”等。其实用老百姓一看就懂的话就是,美元“毛了”。( 什么是钱? ) 2008年,发源于美国的全球金融危机,标志着美元进入了第三个阶段--玩赖皮!重要特点是美国要赖账,使用的手段便是逼迫其他国家货币大幅升值,美其名曰“全球经济再平衡”,指责他国“操纵汇率”。( Malaysian Gold Dinar Initiative ) 其中更有意思的就是格林斯潘等人讨论的放手让黄金价格暴涨, 让美元大幅贬值,从而“抵消”美国的负债压力 。 他们早就明白黄金的真实价值,那就是黄金才是“诚实的货币”,因其童叟无欺,货真价实,所以在货币体系中承担着“最终的支付手段”。但他们却在世界范围内对其他国家大肆推行“黄金无用论”,对学术界进行系统和长期的“洗脑”,对人民和市场玩弄“强势美元”的文字游戏,从而达到将“美元购买力稳定的理念(深植于)人们的脑海里”的目的。 当市场上黄金白银充当着最诚实、最公正的货币时,银行家们想要作弊将是非常困难的。 金融大鳄一旦疯狂,其野心和胃口将极度膨胀,使全人类跟着遭殃。银行家们能够以花样百出的“行业黑话”来愚弄世界人民,随心所欲地控制货币发行量,周期性地制造各种各样的泡沫和经济危机,通过货币战争搞垮各国金融,并在全球经济的废墟之上,重新构建由极少数人控制的世界统一货币新体系,最终通过控制世界来奴役全人类。( 帝国主义, 粮食危机 ) 国民党退往台湾,当年的约翰劳逃出巴黎,当下被逼下台的埃及总统,他们带走的不是印刷精美的纸币,而是沉甸甸的黄金和白银! 用黄金暴涨来平衡美元负债,将是最后的疯狂之举。注意: 美元的结局:有控制的归零 (美元崩溃决不意味着美国崩溃)

Malaysian Gold Dinar Initiative

图片
The usage of dinar was mooted out by Malaysia's fourth prime Minister, Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad. In 2001, Dr Mahathir mooted the idea of a gold payment system — the gold dinar — to settle bilateral and multilateral trades among countries and thereby eliminates foreign exchange risk. In this mode, gold is to be used as a medium of exchange and as a unit of account instead of the national currencies. Prices of exports and imports are to be quoted in units of gold weights. The proposal was to source for an alternative system in the wake of the uncertain economic situation because the conventional system is vulnerable to currency manipulation and speculation. In his book "The Malaysian Currency Crisis, How and Why it happen" Dr. Mahathir explain that Malaysia is a country with strong economic growth, grew 8% plus annually, politically stable and economically resilient. Its currency was strong and its international debts are within accepted limit. Therefore Malaysia w...

Gold Bears Will Learn the Hard Way

Over the next several months, investors will come to gold and silver after they have gone through a process of elimination, investing in other over-valued investments such as currencies, real estate, and Dow-related stocks. Once these investments start to decline, investors will jump from one over-valued investment class to another until they finally discover the precious metals. This transition has been slowly been taking place over the past several years. At some point, the U.S. dollar will be in free-fall — and the stampede to gold will be in full swing. The gargantuan financial risks that exist in our global markets are staggering. When you understand the risks to the market with naked short selling, derivatives insanity, unsustainable debt structures of governments worldwide, etc... it leaves you with a very uneasy feeling. These risks are very real and hardly understood by the average citizen. These bets are getting larger and larger as those involved have to keep going t...

When Gold Stops Going Up

图片
As the rest of the world deals with skyrocketing energy, food, and clothing prices, there is still a handful of in-the-know investors becoming filthy rich. What you need to understand as an investor is the long-term cycle of markets. Gold will continue to go up until three things change: - Inflation is recognized. (It will be an issue in the 2012 presidential elections.) - Helicopter Bernanke is replaced at the Fed with an inflation hawk. - U.S. get a new president. Until then, the best returns are ahead for gold. As you can see by the gold chart above, the trend line keeps getting steeper... but it has yet to go parabolic. And as you can see from the CSCO chart, the last years of a bull market see the fastest gains. http://www.wealthwire.com/news/metals/913

Gold and Silver

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011 - Gold Hits $1423, Another All-Time High The Fed is still printing! For the forseeable future. What do they not get about this story? Today, the world has nearly run out of silver, just as paper money is beginning to fail around the world as gold begins to explode upwards in price. As investment demand returns to gold and silver for savings (as a store of value), like it will for no other commodities, physical silver prices will explode past them all, because monetary demand will return. 时局动荡·抢购保值 巴生谷黄金销量增 南洋商报 2011/02/27 除了金条,22K(916黄金)及24K(999黄金)的金饰品,其实也属于可保值的金饰品。 “金饰品除了保值,还可以拿来佩戴,甚至传给下一代。” 本月21日,利比亚紧张的局势导致国际油价和金价在当天大幅上涨,其中金价突破每安士1400美元大关(伦敦现货黄金价格报每安士1407.60美元或4293.18令吉),创7周来新高。 其实在越南、泰国及印尼等国家,因为政局经常不稳,或频频更换政府,所以当地民众危机意识非常高,进而较喜欢购买黄金,在当地人的投资组合中,黄金约占50%至60%的比例。 黄金才是真正的国际货币,其地位难以被其他货币取代,因此是保本的最佳选择。 获认证公司出售的金条或金币,都经过国内独立化验机构的验证,并附有证书。 “独立化验机构获得政府认证,它们获得大马规格及研究局认证(SIRIM)的核准。” http://nanyang.com.my/Newscenter/articledetail.asp?type=N&ID=2...
