77.89 Change : 1.318 or 1.7% The GOLD PRICE has had a week to fulfill my
suspicions that a rally was coming, and during that time fulfilled my $1,800
target -- high yesterday was $1,802.73, high today was $1,799.50. Comex GOLD
PRICE today lost $7.50 to $1,790.90. Now we have reached Fish or Cut Bait time,
but the GOLD PRICE fall today still doesn't make perfectly clear its intentions.
If it were aiming to cut through $1,800, then it might just pull back and squat
down before it made the dash, and that might explain today. On the other hand,
if it falls through $1,750 tomorrow and moves toward $1,705, gold's liable to
have vertigo problems, including stumbling and falling. Only a close below
$1,650 would invite serious worry and nail-biting. Of course, it's hard, hard to
picture how a bank solvency crisis in Europe would drive gold DOWN, unless the
whole world is dumber than Ben Bernanke. I'm turning ugly, so I better turn to
silver. With less enthusiasm than gold, the SILVER PRICE rallied in the last
week, but today with a 3382c low gave up all those gains, falling today from a
3507c high to close Comex at 3434.8c, down 78.9c (2.24%). Not much to argue
about here. Should the SILVER PRICE fall through that trap door over the
elevator shaft at 3400c, next place it would land about the 20 DMA at 3325c. I
wrote last Thursday that the market was beginning to persuade me that bottoms in
silver and gold had already occurred. By failing to pass above $1,800, gold has
left that question open. It will remain open until gold either closes over
$1,800, or below $1,700. I'm telling y'all, long as the world's racing this way
downhill into the ditch, y'all better start working on some marketable skills
like gardening, milking, herding goats, or digging ditches. That, or give up
eating. My son Justin and I returned yesterday from a four day class in timber
framing at Camp McDowell down in Alabama. The Alabama Folk School there
sponsored several Old Time music classes -- guitar, mandolin, banjo, harmonica
-- and there were homesteading and timber framing classes. Now I know and openly
admit that I'm nothing more than a natural born fool from Tennessee, but it
ought to tell y'all how deep is the trouble that you and the whole world are in
when nobody but a natural born fool from Tennessee can tell that all the bogus
fixes the High and Mighty are pushing won't work any better than a Zippo in a
hurricane. Last week and week before everybody was just a-buying stocks like
they had the future written out in advance, all based on Europe's announcement
they had a "fix." I told y'all then, that was as good as it gets, and since then
it's only gotten worse. Now Italy is trying hard not to look like Greece, and
Silvio Baloney is about to lose his grip on power. I'm here to tell you again,
they ain't fixed nothing, and ain't going to, because the only course that truly
will fix things is a DEBT JUBILEE, writing all that debt clean off, and the
bankers won't let them do that. Oh, they will eventually, but not until they
made the whole world suffer and sweat blood. In the week I've been away (and a
little more) the Dow Jones Industrial Average has lost all its November gains.
Whoops -- they were just so slippery we couldn't hold on to 'em! Today was
worse. Dow lost 389.24 -- 3.2% -- to close at 11,780.94. (S&P500 closed down
46.82 or 3.67% at 1,2298.10.) Today's colossal drop took the Dow below 11,850
support and WAAAY below its 200 day moving average at 11,975. Woe is stocks!
Hard to paint any sort of Smiley Face over this. 'Tisn't yet clear whether the
Dow will push one more lap (even yet) to 12,400 before it collapses, or it will
merely collapse immediately. How can you tell? A close below 11,600 turns it
down. Today the dollar index showed how much it appreciated the European
troubles by rising a gargantuan 131.8 basis points (1.70%) to 77.892. The eurro
has left behind one of the sorriest, nastiest looking charts you've ever thrown
an eye over. Broke down out of the trading range in September, bottomed at
1.3164 in October, rose with great gaps to 1.4247 when the "fix" announcement
was made, then gapped down again and fell back out of the trading range. Oh, did
I forget to mention that the euro left behind a clear Island Reversal pattern?
That's a Kiss of Death with giant fangs and coral snake venom on its lips. If
y'all are planning a European vacation, wait a while to buy your euros. You can
probably get them for 1.2000. I think the Nice Government Men in Japan have
broken the yen for a while. Closed today at 128.53c/Y100 (Y77.8/$), and
shouldn't make it through 129c. SPECIAL OFFER. I bought some one troy ounce .999
fine silver rounds that have passed through a housefire. They are not melted,
but range from altogether black colored to only a few black spots. With spot
silver at $33.90, I will sell these 513 one troy ounce silver rounds at a dollar
less than spot, namely, $32.90 each. Before you buy, please understand EVERY
SALE IS FINAL. Once you buy them, they are yours. I will BUY them back (at
current spot less 10%), but will not take them back for exchange or replacement
because I am telling you on the front end exactly what they are, so no later
waffling, mind-changing, or "I forgot to tell Mama about this and she got mad
when she found out and locked me in the garage." You send me an email order, and
you bought them, period. I have 513 one ounce .999 fine blackened silver rounds
to sell at $32.90, and will sell them in minimum lots of One hundred (100)
pieces. You can order lots in multiples of 100, or make an offer for the whole
pile of 513. First come, first served, and no re-orders at these prices. I will
