Baltbear on Finance markets are like marshmallows

human rights for fun and profit.

over the past few weeks, courtesy of a google exec doing a social hack of facebook, zillions of opressed people (not in the usa) are beginning to think that “oppression is bad.” this is unlike wisconsin that thinks that undoing 40 years of labour rights is good for working people.
(thus adding the governor of wisconsin to the short list of people sleazier than mark zuckerberg.)

the safest financial bet on all this random “yearning for freedom” is that, as in wisconsin, freedom will once again be redefined as the golden rule: he who has the gold makes the rules while others warn that if they don’t get what they want they’ll blow a 50 amp fuse.
there may be minor changes to the noun antecedant, just as “czar” was changed to “stalin” without breaking the rule; and ak was changed to ak/neal/garfies when the revolution caused by financial collapse and debt swaps (an historic inevitable) hit biotime,
amex.
the viewing public may be hypnotised by “the politbureau reflects the will of the proletariat” or “mikey is a hero”..but, the facts remain.

thus, the prudent speculator, who has no desire to be cannon fodder for the game, hunts what idiots think of as safe harbours, gets there first, and starts charging rent.
and so, it’s finallly time for gold and silver.
why?  because dictators love them. idiots love them. people who think the mkts are run by lizard people from outerspace  and the aquabuddha and hold senate seats love them. thugs in wisconsin trying to co-erce working people out of the taft-hartley labour act love them.
and actual adults  doing adult things like manufacturing still use small amounts of both of them, and will be forced to compete for access, along with all the afore-mentioned climbing all over each other to place faith and credit into a something boiled out of a rock instead of honour.

as late as early december i was seeing gold as being in a near-term bubble peak, specifically based on landry corp having installed a “gold bar” vending machine in the golden nugget in vegas.

gold and silver have no basis as currencies–nothing actually does—except agreement. the stupidity of the human race causes that fact to be endlessly denied.

the social disruptions ranging across trhe southern med and red sea area are vaguely reminiscent of the after effects of the trojan war occurring right after a major conflict between egypt and babylon and the “global climate changes” cuased by santorini’s tantrum. there is no direct play in small boats capable of reaching the lavinian shores, and thus far tunisia and italy seem united in trapping localised pressure and denying mkt outlets.

when the venn space containing stupidity, fear, hurray for me, and social disruption is drawn, the interference pattern is shiny and metallic.

those best at playing that venn space to their own advantage  over the past century are currently styled jpm and c. when you notice the functional morality of c inre the social contract,  then it is even a more of a positive indicator towards fear/greed/stupid based social activity.
