    Re: the survival of the euro;depending on the decisions made December 9, it looks like the euro will survive.

      Dec 03, 2011 03:14 AM

      Regarding the fate of the euro I wrote on this blog earlier and I am saying it again:
      If you are waiting for the demise of the euro , be prepared for a long wait.

    Dec 03, 2011 03:57 AM

    Good Morning cfs and Werner,

    The demise of the euro is something that simply cannot happen.

    An event like that would take us from a tenuous situation to an absolutely abysmal situation.

    Those in power, some call them leaders and I call them loosers, simply cannot let that happen even though one could argue that it should so that effective changes could be made.

    Best to all,

    Big Al

      Sir,

      so what are you saying, that the ECB will simply print, print, print?

        Dec 03, 2011 03:29 PM

        Hi james,

        That’s pretty much what I am saying

        Best

      Hey Jerry,

      It has been burning for quite some time!

      Big Al

        Dec 03, 2011 03:36 PM

        but, most do not know it is on fire….

    Dec 03, 2011 03:09 PM

    The 9th will come & go & things will still be the same, But watch out for next year!!!

    Dec 03, 2011 03:31 PM

    No. The 9th is a date with destiny.
    Depending on tying up fiscally, the union will change. And the stock markets will go up or down heavily, depending on the choices made by the bureaucrats.

    Dec 03, 2011 03:18 PM

    HI Al,

    I know you are a big supporter of Ron Paul (as I am), which is why I was wondering your reaction to the announcement that Ron Paul will not be allowed in the Jewish Republican Candidates debates this Wednesday Dec 7th because his views are ‘too extreme’ and outside the mainstream. (ie it is implied he’s not a serious candidate!!)

    I think this is atrocious censorship and completely anathema to democracy and freedom of speech and ideas.

    How blatant can this manipulation get?

      Dec 04, 2011 04:07 AM

      HELLO CECIL……….It would not have anything to do with the fact, that most of the top bankers are jewish, & therefore they control the FED, & MR PAUL wants to have a pop at them………The fed.

        Dec 04, 2011 04:38 AM

        irish….some historical data for you……the jews were given that role in 1696 , to be bankers when Marco Polo came back from china with the first paper currencey, at that time , that job was to be considered the lowest of lows for a job…who could have figured that it would evolve to this….

          Dec 04, 2011 04:40 AM

          Money stolen or borrowed from Jews probably financed the Nina Pinta and Santa maria re: the 1492 expedition to steal land, gold and enslave natives.

          The Europeans did what they accuse Jews of doing to the “palestinians”.

          I forgive IrishTony for his tacit anti-semetism. If his cancer returns, he may end up surviving thanks to the skill of a Jewish doctor!

          I am in favor of Ron Paul at this debate. I would like him to air his views but I believe that him and Rand will follow the $audi money, if they have not already ( and I believe they have). They will need a lot of fiats to finance his campaign if selected.

          Both parties succumb to it; from Dhimmy Carter to Bush Jr. Pinky to pinky is the same as bowing to me.

          Ron Paul will bow for sure.They all do. Either in private or in public!

          Israel, I am sure, is making plans to de-couple itself from the US. Business with South America, China and India is growing in exponential factors.

            Dec 04, 2011 04:35 AM

            the money to finance the 1492 trip of Columbus was loaned from the pope(italy) to
            the king fer and queen isabella of portugal…with the idea that any people were to be found on their voyage were to be catholic subjects of the pope and in return these subjects were to pay there 10% or more tithe (just going by memory)

            Dec 04, 2011 04:58 AM

            then you can see cfs2000 input …from part of the Crusades,

            Dec 04, 2011 04:07 AM

            my comments are historical….and I was trying to show how we got from 1697 to the present day situation…..”THE 400 YEAR CYCLE…..OF PAPER CURRENCY…”
            NOT THE FACT WHO HAD THE GOLD AND SILVER AT THAT TIME….

            Dec 04, 2011 04:13 AM

            James…..go read what a BANKERS JOB WAS IN 1697….and the reason why
            this job was given to the jews…..
            this is not a comment of any disrespect concerning jewish people….far from it
            as a christian….we respect that these are GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE

            Dec 04, 2011 04:37 PM

            JAMES………….How dare you accuse me of being ANTI JEWISH, I just stated a fact. I AM NOT ANTI JEWISH NOR AM I ANTI BLACK , OR ANTI YELLOW, OR ANTI MUSLIM, OR ANTI ANYTHING ELSE. IF YOU MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT I SAID , THEN I FORGIVE YOU. YOURS WITH RESPECT tony.

            Dec 04, 2011 04:57 PM

            James B — In the 2008 election, Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) supported Ron Paul. Aaron Zelman (JPFO) said: “ADL’s hypocrisy must be exposed for what it is. Encourage everyone you know to write to the ADL and ask about their repulsive double standard.”-end- I won’t go into the context from which this was taken, other than to say that it was in reference to the ADL’s stance on gun ownership. Mr. Zelman finished the piece with: “ADL, burn in Hell.”
            Ever heard of Jews Against Zionism (dot com)? Zionists, jewish or not, do not like Ron Paul. That’s a fact. Jews Not Zionists (dot org) says this on their homepage: “No one has had to create any antagonism between our Torah and Zionism because such antagonism exists by virtue of the essence of Judaism itself, which can never tolerate the heresy of Zionism.

            Zionism is wrong from the Torah viewpoint, not because many of its adherents are lax in practice or even anti-religious, but because its fundamental principle conflicts with the Torah.

            Unfortunately, due to many undesirable factors, the view of Torah-true Jewry has been concealed from the general public.”-end-
            Zionists put Obama in power; they remain his master. What you and cfs2000 think you see is an illusion. You can’t come to a chess game with a checkers mindset.

            Dec 04, 2011 04:22 PM

            HI James B,

            You and Cecil brought up a great point and I will discuss it with Jeff Deist this week.

            Thanks,

            Big Al

          Dec 04, 2011 04:18 PM

          HI Jerry,

          Thanks for the insight.

          Big Al

            Dec 04, 2011 04:34 PM

            AL,,Thank you….how was your trip, hope you enjoyed the vineyard and fresh air.

      Dec 04, 2011 04:24 PM

      It’s extremely unfortunate when a group, of any size, dismisses a candidate based upon what they feel they want to hear. It’s that kind of thinking which got the United States (and many other countries) into their current mess. Fortunately, I don’t think the Jewish Republican Candidate debate will be a deciding forum. Some, in fact, might consider their political wants to be outside that of the mainstream.

        Dec 04, 2011 04:25 PM

        Evening John W,

        I would agree with you completely.

        I still have to maintain that to exclude the Congressman is blatantly wrong.

        I also intend to pursue this tomorrow now that we are “back in the saddle”

        Best,

        Big Al

      Dec 04, 2011 04:18 PM

      HI Henry,

      I just got back from taking a few days off and I was unaware of that.

      Total censorship and, you are correct, it is atrocious.

      Quite frankly, I am very surprised and certainly disappointed.

      Big Al

    Dec 04, 2011 04:19 AM

    Jerry,
    You did not start your history lesson early enough. Who do you think financed the Crusades of Richard the Lionheart?

      Dec 04, 2011 04:42 AM

      Maybe Jews did finance it. They are not so stupid to go the pubs and spend their time there getting drunk. that is why they were hated and are today, merely tolerated.

        Dec 04, 2011 04:48 PM

        JAMES…………….What is your problem, & what does the above mean……….. EXPLAIN.

          Dec 04, 2011 04:32 PM

          Evening everyone,

          One thing that I have never noticed in our great forum (remember that it is yours) is that I have never seen any sign of prejudice.

          You, ladies and gentlemen, are way too smart for that crap!

          Mr. Irish I don’t think that James B meant anything slanderous by that remark. Remember, I am Russian and Russia, the Soviet Union or whatever you want to call it has probably the highest rate of alcoholism in the world. (With the possible exception of Salt Lake City, Utah! Remember, that is a joke!)

      Dec 04, 2011 04:25 AM

      they did not have paper currency at that time., except the chinese

        Dec 04, 2011 04:44 AM

        I did not want to get to complicated on history…that seems to be boring for most people….that is why we have to keep repeating the same old problem…because man does not learn…..he is only caught up in the moment…
        “THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN”…ECCLESIASTES 1:9

      Dec 04, 2011 04:02 PM

      cfs………….i agree, we can go back 2000 years , & beyond on this.

        Dec 04, 2011 04:15 PM

        I was only going back 1,000 years, but if you want to make it 2,000, then I’ll blame the Romans for conquering the Middle East and displacing the Jews in the first place. Maybe if they had not had their Ark of the Covenant, in solid gold, stolen from them, banksters today would be entirely different.

          Dec 04, 2011 04:23 PM

          I do not think it was stolen from them….where did you read that…

          Dec 04, 2011 04:41 PM

          I STARTED THIS MESS….SO I WILL PUT IN MY LAST TWO CENTS…..

          THE ORGINAL STATEMENT WAS CONCERNING , THE BANKERS, AND PAPER CURRENCY
          it just so happened at that time in history…as earlier stated , that the first paper currency to be given to the western world was from china…brought back by Marco Polo
          and presented to the Pope…(you can read the rest by doing some research)
          At that time in history ,,a low profession was being a banker…and that job…wound up being taken over by the jewish people..THIS IS AND WAS THE ONLY POINT….
          IT WAS ABOUT PAPER CURRENCY…FIAT…AND THAT IS WHERE WE ARE TODAY….
          To make anything more about this is really a waste of time….and I am sure
          we can all jump in and scramble this mess into any type of conversation and direction
          we would like to..,but, lets all take the high road and be done with this conversation.

            Dec 04, 2011 04:34 PM

            But Jerry,

            You have to admit it was great dialog!

            Best,

      Dec 04, 2011 04:28 PM

      HI cfs,

      All I can say about the Crusades, the Inquisition, etc. is great examples of man’s inhumanity to man and the danger of free will.

      Best,

      Big Al

    Dec 04, 2011 04:53 AM

    Mickey nailed it: “Embrace volatility… you take money from tax loss selling, from your bad decisions… you put in stink bids for fundamentally strong companies that will weather the storm, have plenty of cash, have good projects… and you buy those things when they’re beaten up…” Examples? Hecla at 99 cents, USA.V at 3 cents, EXK at 71 cents… and many more, all in Autumn 2008, all of them with strong fundamentals and great management… but how many of us bought right then at the bottomless depths of fear?

      Dec 04, 2011 04:57 PM

      Yes, like I bought Enron when it seemed like it might not survive.

        Dec 05, 2011 05:51 PM

        I know what you mean, but there’s a big difference between a company that hides all of it’s actions and one with verifiable properties, mgmt, and cash.

    Dec 04, 2011 04:39 AM

    Dudley Baker’s insight about company insiders publicly owning their own stock is very helpful!

      Dec 04, 2011 04:36 PM

      HI Dirk B,

      I can’t tell you how much I have learned from the Mick. (Pretty hard for me to call him “mercenary” when he is more honest than a lot of folks in our industry!)

      Big Al

    Dec 04, 2011 04:45 PM

    There are good reasons for the jewish community to try to ignore Ron Paul. First and foremost is that Dr. Paul doesn’t support bombing Iran (or any other place to generate collateral damage); bombing Iran appears to be top priority of the Israel government.

      Dec 04, 2011 04:38 PM

      HI Bud,

      You bring up a very interesting point, and I do appreciate that.

      Iran is scary, but guess what? When the world feels that it is necessary (i.e. concrete proof of serious nuclear power and the will to use it against others) the country will be flattened.

      Don’t you think that is true?

      Big Al

    Dec 04, 2011 04:39 PM

    Jerry is on it and gently leading us to do further DD.
    What he stated is the beginning of massive stories he is not telling.
    Don’t go down that road,Jerry.
    Not sure many would believe it,anyways.
