and so it works again for RITA..........rumor is that there will be terrible damage to oil facilities in Texas, when the news hits, go short with 3 hands at once.

it's amazing that the market can play the same trick twice in such a short space of time.

watch oil drop after RITA's blown out this weekend, no matter what happens on the ground.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'i')t's easy to say after the fact that it all makes sense, but i surprised many people on this and other forums with my perfectly accurate analysis of what oil prices would do post Katrina infact accurate to 5cents on the close this Friday.


yes you and several hundred thousand professional oil traders who do this everytime there is a hurricane....not because in their tinfoil hat wisdom they have figured out there is some conspiracy out there but simply because they are the ones driving the market short term....nothing to do with oil companies.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'i') can't say exactly who is pulling the strings but there is an elite group of very rich people, a royal family without the crown if you like, that basically does whatever the hell it damn wants to.


well for someone who claims to be so good at predicting market swings you sure don't understand how they work. Traders can make their own market swings based on perception...it happens in oil, gold and currency on a daily basis.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'i')f you look into the history of standard oil you will see it was broken up into 34 companies most of which have slowly reamalgamated.


OK over a period of 50+ years and so many board changes that it would make your head spin. There is no control of any of the boards of the main oil companies by anyone one group of people...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'w')hen you consider that an average merchant in Ancient Rome could buy himself a set of good clothes for 1oz of gold and that same oz today would buy you a reasonable suit then you see the concept of inflation is totally false and that the whole game is setup to strip wealth and buying power from the middle classes and keep a rich elite in power, via a totally false paper money system.


Oh sweet jesus....now inflation is something cooked up by an elite group. No doubt with tinfoil hats and black helicopters to boot.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'i')gnore it at your peril


actually I think it will be better to just ignore you.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('rockdoc123', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'y')eah, and it's not just the oil. when you investigate and find out that all those nice logos like, BP, Exxon, Mobile, Texaco are all just parts or controlled by standard oil, and when you dig a bit deeper and find rothchilds and rockefellers or their minions on the board of literally dozens of companies then you start to understand that we are not a democracy but an oligracy


Oh for Christ sakes.....where do you come up with this crap? Maybe a lesson in history is necessary? Standard Oil was broken up under the anti-trust regulations in 1892. The spinoffs included Saucony which eventually became Mobil oil.....Esso which became Exxon.....Sohio which was taken over by BP....Amoco which was taken over by BP and Standard oil of California which eventually became Chevron. There is no Standard oil anymore ......there has been no such company for decades. All of these companies when they were spun off were required to have independent boards. To this date corporate governance regulations enforce the issue of independent board members as a means to protecting shareholder rights. There is currently no Rothschild or Rockefeller on the board of any of the companies you mentioned.
I would point out that these companies are competitors...they are at each others throats in many parts of the world...the thought that any of them would get together and agree on anything that is basically against the anti-trust regulations is so ludicrous as to be completely absurd. Trying to get two companies to even agree on a farm-in or purchase and sale agreement is like pulling eye teeth....anything beyond that sits in the realm of science fiction.


Can you imagine corporations, like the seven sisters, cooperating in the broader economic realm, while still engaging in intense sibling rivalry? Corporate governance regulations? Don't make me laugh. As if these dudes can't play legalistic hackey sack with anything we mere mortals might come up with to control their greed.

Since you are the master economist maybe you can explain how $100 in 1750 was still worth the same and bought the same as $100 in 1800 and $100 in 1900. Then suddenly in 1913 the federal reserve came to power, began printing money like water, caused two large stock market crashes the second of which wiped out the entire planet's economic system and preciptated WW2, just 60 years after in 2005 we find that $100 will barely buy you a decent pair of jeans, never mind cover a years wages or maybe even a decent plot of land.

Inflation is only caused by central banks inflating the money supply. FIAT Curreny causes inflation, there is no other reason for it, except in cases of dire shortages, which cause only temporary price spikes, not this rolling 3-5% per year.

The CRB index has increased 50% this year, that is a 50% increase in all raw commodities, yet we are supposed to believe that some jiggered figures from some government sponsored wacko there is only 2-4% inflation, that this is absolutely normal and fine even though that small so called insignificant number already robs your grandchild of every single cent he inherits from you in 30 years time.

wake up to yourself man, the rich elite have had the whole game rigged for over 100 years. Ever since the royal families went out of fashion for this so called pseudo democracy, a new elite royalist bunch has simply installed themselves behind the scenes.

Things might seem better than they were in 1200 or 1400 medieval times, but the same thing is going on in a more complex and contrived way, designed to keep the increasing number of peasants at bay.

The result is identical. We live in poverty running from day to day chasing our tails with bills and bullshit trying to survive, up to our ears in regulation and paper work, all so some arrogant elitist w**nker can get is finger nails (and probably his knob) polished in super luxury.

The federal reserve bank of the US and also the Reserve Bank of England are private banks charged with printing the currency. The FED han't been audited since the 1950s. It prints vast amounts of extra money, inflating the money supply and nailing everyone's wealth with inflation. The house I was going to buy in 2002 went from $1/4M to $1/2M. SO even if I put aside $1/4M in hard cash, I am no closer to owning that house than I was in 2002. And everyone thinks they are making such a fortune in Real Estate, what a lot of bullshit.............although I wouldn't wish it on anyone, I feel you'll be laughing on the otherside of your face when they come to repossess you house in the great 2009 depression and even a cardboard box to sleep in goes for $500 a pop.............hahahahah.

I hope you can afford one because otherwise the roving death squad will probably delcare you a vagrant terrorist and have you shot onsite.

well this prediction on oil played out quite nicely, i still think it is coming down more. there will be bounces but this baby is finished for now. $40 is a definite possibility long term. People have made arguments about $40 still being expensive but just being psychologically cheap which is of course the whole point of the game. $40 also puts a lot of alternatives out of business.

looks like gold is going to $500+, but slightly risky short term to get into at this late stage. Silver is a great trade can easily crack on upto to $9-10, but again very volatile and not for the faint hearted. You'd have to be comfortable printing $1000-$2000 per contract losses to ride this one out initially.

Most funds managers I have read reports on are exiting energies now and going into metals and mining, which should be the 2006 run as the stocks return to the long term down trend they began in 2001/2002.

$1000 gold and $15 silver is definitely on the cards long term.

S&P collapse was needed only to clean out some stagnation in the markets. Negativity is priced in now and after some more breif downside I think we'll see 1270-1300 before the end of the year.

There is never anything to be scared of when the markets make rapid moves. The rapid moves are usually counter trend. It's the slow grinding action that actually produces long term price trends. Those are the ones that keep you comfortable, whilst robbing you of everything you have if you are on the wrong end of it. Right now trend still appears to be upwards on the stocks, especially with bonds coming down in price, the money has to go somewhere.

1270-1300 should be the end of it and the return of the big bad bear in 2006, but it needs a nice run up and some real over confidence so that can happen properly. Otherwise we most likely see the same stagnation continuing, and perhaps the beginning of a slow grind downwards from here, which will be more difficult to get short on, so i am hoping for a blow off top on the indexes.

Right now the bears appear to have control and there is a lot of negativity,so it would be typical for the market to do the exact opposite and catch all the shorts out. I think the moves made over Aug / Sept when a lot of players were on holiday, will simply be repeated over the next couple of months, hopefully with a nice high to get short on towards the end of the year.

I have this theory of what greenspan has been upto which basically has secured loans from the asians at a very low cost.

Drop the interest rates so bond prices go higher. The Treasuries are then selling at a large premium, so $100,000 bond now goes for $115,000.

After locking in huge amounts of treasuries at low interest rates (massive defecit) you increase interest rates, which collapses the price of the bonds back to about 90. So you borrowed $100,000, got paid a premium of $115,000 and only have to repay $90,000.

The clever part is going to be on the metal reserves and bear market for stocks and is the final end game. Having held gold prices low for year and years, run the price of gold and silver to the moon, sell all the metal reserves off at the top and use the money to buy back the treasury bonds which by then will be bottoming around 85-90.

Price of metals then collapses and you buy back your metal reserves.

Net result is the asians get wacked on over priced semi worthless trasuries that they had to buy to keep their currencies competitive.

If it works out the defecit will disappear and the asian manufacturers far from gaining power and economic might will have been tricked into selling the US goods for below cost price subsidied by their local government purcahses of US treasuries wihch resulted in large net losses for their country.

If this works out, it will be the asians with the defecits in 5-10 years time and the US riding mighty once again.

Great work, Richardmmm. Except about Bush not being a reptile--I have my doubts, and how about Condalizard Rice? The woman appears to be uncomfortable outside of a terrarium, though the exposure to spotlight seems to provide her with the necessary energy to lie lie lie. :lol:

If oil goes back down to 40.00 and holds, would you consider this an indicator that geologic peak has been somewhat exaggerated?

Interesting analysis. I think in the above case, it would take the threat of a great calamity to stampede people into exchanging with the government, their bonds for gold.

Assuming the government could then make the calamity go away, like you say, they'd sell these bonds back at a higher price so they could then buy gold again at a lower price, where the bankers would then stay right where they were and laugh. This is the good outcome.

The bad outcome is that a calamity(ies) happens anyway, the world gets more unstable, and the goverments of the coalition of the willing then announce a desire to take ownership of your gold. Possibly the least of your worries.

don't worry about the politicans, they are just the puppet people, a smoke screen for a much bigger game that is playing out.

the bankers run the show and they ain't gonna give it up to the chinese or asians anytime soon.

they are 10 steps ahead of the game, it's all planned out from long ago.

just like the car companies have their new models lined up for 10-20 years out and it's all a con, so too the bankers have their game lined up. the booms, the busts, the interest rates, the defeceits, stocks, real estate, energies, metals, etc etc, its all a preplanned cycle to make sure the confusion reigns and the power remains in one place.

http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story.a ... F304C38%7D

people are already talking about it, but it goes much deeper than this.

the US is in trouble on paper but it will all come out in the wash, and most other nations esecially the big manufacturers will suffer much worse in the next couple of years.

the US will buy back it's debt much cheaper and although the people of the nation will suffer the power structure stays in place.

it's exactly the same as the chapter 11 games the companies play.

fold the company up, default on the bonds, crash the stock, renegotiate the debt and wages and pension plans etc. then buy back the stock and start again on a fresh slate, brand name intact and company roaring ahead...........look at what happened to Kmart. That's the best example from the corporate world of what is going on in the geopolitical arena right now.

just a giant shake down.
