From my email box...see below, Haystack

My Dear Extended Family,
Never before in the entire period of 1968 to 1980, or 2001 to present, have I received
so many copies of classical deflationist scenarios in one day. It would seem as
if the God of Deflation overflew the gold guys and dropped their leaflets.
Classical deflation does not have a snowball's chance in hell of occurring now for
any length of time. To assume that you have to hold the belief that Bernanke is
a mole in the present administration, placed their covertly to bury the present
administration so deep that there will never be a democrat in office after 2013
anywhere.
If you believe there is a political appetite for the collapse of the Western financial
system, they had a perfect chance in 2008 and did not accept that great opportunity
to purge the system of Banksters for political reasons.
The problems of 2008 are here now and greater. Derivatives still challenge the entire
system at a greater level. A major under the covers audit is being done right now
of some major banks for serious OTC derivative problems. Market miscreant activity
allowed the break to near nothing for many financial institutions. The activity
specifically is the absence of the uptick rule, which is still missing. The regulators
are controlled by Washington which in turn is owned by the hedge fund and bankster's
lobby.
Nothing whatsoever has changed except the degree of difficulty which has risen to
a level never existing in market history.
The rescue will come in the form of QE to infinity for the entire western world's
financial system.
The market historians making fun of the gold community may not like the fact that
it was the huge communication to his prison authorities and the system that actually
got him the opportunity for freedom. Whatever the mental level reason for his hate
of "Gold Bugs," he is wrong.
Gold is going to and through $2111 on its way towards Alf's levels.
The euro and the dollar, in that order, will be bailed out. QE will rise to infinity
the longer Bernanke plays chicken with the present administration for perseverance
of the private bank, the Fed, and its power.
Please stop sending me copies of the latest tome from our respected market historian.
The history he is going to make now is his largest market error in his career, scaring
the life out of investment protection insurance non trading gold holders, so much
so that when they leave they will never return to the gold market.
I have written about Currency Induced Cost Push Inflation hundreds of times. They
are all in the compendium. Our beloved historian does not understand this concept,
but will be defrocked by it.
This popular writer is determined to walk the halls of ivy again, doing anything
necessary to make that happen. Part of that is not having a history of being rescued
by the "Gold Bugs," which he was. I knew him in the 70s when he looked down at me
as not in his high circles.

Nothing has changed.

Respectfully,

Jim

This nailed it for me!

But we did witness massive deflation in 2008. And we will again, and it'll be worse. Inflation will be the result of the government's response to deflation.

i'll give the edge to sinclair over armstrong based on his track record and experience, but JS is frustrating because he doesn't feel he ever needs to explain anything.

we had massive debt deflation in 2008, and then govt money printing, but for the most part we did not see the effects JS predicted. if anything, so far MA is more right.

If demand destruction occurs and borrowing ceases and more de leveraging...

Then isn't it normal that massive deflation will occur, fiat will dry up and the continuous pumping of fiat will only create more deflation as it's all debt that's paying off an interest bill several times larger.

Cash may be more valuable than what we were lead to believe.

Personally I stopped buying PMs a while ago and prefer to save cash.
