Great article from Zeal on Gold and the events of the last two weeks. Here’s the author Adam Hamilton’s final remarks:
The bottom line is euro-gold €1000 is a very important psychological milestone in this global gold bull. Just as $1000+ did here in the States last autumn, €1000+ will make gold far more appealing to legions of European investors. Their buying will drive gold even higher. So to see €1000 challenged this week for the first time ever, even if it doesn’t hold, is very exciting. Gold history is being made before our eyes.
While probabilities favor the super-oversold euro bouncing and scuttling this initial €1000 attempt, it is only a matter of time until this level holds for good. Euro gold has powered higher on balance for years despite the simultaneous strong bull market in the euro. While it isn’t as bad as the dollar, ultimately the euro is just another devaluing fiat currency that investors can help protect themselves from by owning gold.
Interesting events on Wall Street: Dow falls 1000 points an hour before closing and then recovers. Gold is now the preferred currency as it again moves above 1200 USD/Oz and reaches new heights in Euro, SEK and other fiat paper. Key words to understand the Dows “recovery” late in the trading day: “plunge protection team“.

Just came back from the pre-premiere of a Swedish-made movie called “Overdose - The Next Financial Crisis“. It’s narrated by Cato Institute affiliate and free-lance writer Johan Norberg and the movie is also based on one of his books. I must say the movie portrays the dire mess we are in, in a manner that’s very easily grasped. This makes it a very good movie to share with your friends if you find it difficult to get people close to you to listen to boring financial lingo. Highly recommended! The film features trend forecaster Gerald Celente, investor Peter Schiff and many others.
