Hey AG -

A very interesting article. Its a good read. Very insiteful.

Everything I need to know I learned at Kitco.

Hi AG -

Kitco is good reading as well as the Gold Is Money forum. But even with all that good info I am a pauper with a very small silver hoard & a growing copper pyle.

Best regards, Bart

Now take the Kitco article and put it side-by-side with this article:

Something smells very, very fishy. On one hand, the U.S. dollar is becoming the leper of fiat currencies...on the other hand, someone seems way too eager to purchase dollars. Is the Fed engineering a shill bidding scheme to try to boost confidence in the dollar despite the fact the federal government's balance sheet is getting terminally worse by the day? That's the only explanation I can come up with. Powerful people are cooking the books on a grander scale, and with far more devastating effect once the fallout hits, than anything we've ever seen. The problem is that if this assumption proves correct, by the time we realize it's correct, we're going to be scrambling for our very lives economically and socially once the fiat hits the fan.
