The silver market is showing signs of bullish strain and an incredible opportunity is being presented to you. I’m a staunch silver advocate and it’s time for an update right now. Silver stands to outperform gold as the long term precious metal bull market continues to unfold.The price of silver, along with gold, is kept under wraps by officials of the New York COMEX market, aka CRIMEX. The old boy network which runs CRIMEX have whipsawed the market in their desired direction for decades and profited accordingly. These actions are government sanctioned because precious metals are competition to un-backed fiat money. State mandated fiat is so weak and poorly designed that it cannot stand competitors.

Yes, gold is on sale. You don’t have to pay $950 plus a premium to buy an ounce of gold. You can buy gold in the ground for a fraction of its normal price. The same holds true for many other essential natural commodities like silver, oil, uranium or copper.This opportunity has been brought your way by the same thugs that imploded global stock markets in 2008 via an historic combination of fraud and greed. Yep, they did a number on the commodity market as well as the associated stocks were decimated across the board. Select resource stocks are now outperforming.

By now, you have surely heard that our elitist banks passed their recent government sponsored “stress test”? Forget about it! Relying on this incestuous bunch to grade themselves is like putting Madonna in charge of screening convent applicants. Take no comfort in shams of this nature.

You may have noticed that most of my articles are pretty in depth and lengthy. A fellow IDE editor recently pointed that out and issued a challenge … “I bet you ten bucks you can’t write a one page essay.”

The Fed pulled out its “nuclear” option last week when it announced coming purchases of $300 billion in long term Treasuries (and other similar extravaganzas). This is an act of total desperation.

The world economy is experiencing the severe consequences of decades of monetary abuse, says Russel McDougal. And government stimulus plans, combined with the Fed’s unlimited ability to print fiat money, will just lead us towards an “epic disaster”.

Any celebrations over this government bailout (if it gets passed) will be short lived, says Russell McDougal at Investor’s Daily Edge. The $700 billion plan will merely reinforce the fraudulent status quo in US money markets. And that means it will merely postpone the inevitable day of reckoning. Russell says this is a “disastrous long-term strategy” that will eventually wipe out the US dollar and Treasury bonds.

The market is throwing away resource stocks amid panic on Wall Street.”You’d think the world will never again need gold, silver, platinum, oil, natural gas, uranium, copper, lead or zinc,” says Russell McDougal at Investor’s Daily Edge.
The old adage “the time to buy is when blood is running in the streets” remains true, however.
Russell says the stock shakeout provides a great opportunity for savvy investors. He recommends buying up quality resource stocks now and holding them for long-term profits.

You know by now I write a lot about the US dollar and its ongoing abuse. I just lost a friendly bet regarding the dollar. It was trading around 73 this summer and I brashly stated it would see 60 before 80. Brashness is seldom a good idea.
