Gold. Collateral Damage
B...Cascade!<br /><br />April 15, 2013<br />Gold. Collateral Damage<br />Bruce Johnson<br /><br />In reference to the bottom dropping out of the "greater fool" market known as precious metals, let us consider the behind the scenes ramifications of Gold's sudden plummet.<br /><br />Yes, Gold is used as collateral. It was considered a bullet proof good faith backing for market risks. A speculator or trader could even use Gold to back up his purchases of more Gold. Some exchanges even allow the posting of Gold to serve as margin, or good faith money.<br /><br />So what happens when Gold drops? If Gold is placed to back other Gold purchases, the drop in the market creates a domino effect. The Gold owned in the position loses value, and the Gold placed as good faith money also loses value. So there is less "good faith" margin or collateral behind the falling value of the commodity owned. A liquidity problem develops for the financial guarantor of the customer.<br /><br />Back in the ancient history of commodity trading (1930s), there was an extremely bullish Wheat scenario. It became vogue to buy Wheat futures, and sell Wheat put options. As the market became top heavy and rolled over, the Wheat futures lost money, and the Put options gained value. A double dip of sorts for the owners of Wheat. The owners of Wheat were having their position in a falling market increased as prices declined. Debacle. Option trading on commodities would take several decades to reemerge.<br /><br />As Gold drops, the collateral behind many trades vanishes. The margin or good faith money that backs the financial risk of trades actually could, in certain circumstances, create cascading financial conditions for those who accepted Gold and Silver as solid backing for financial risk. <br /><br />There are those who shook their heads when exchanges accepted Gold as margin.<br /><br />They are shaking their heads again. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Bruce JohnsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-15911211021339770782013-04-15T13:33:46.767-04:002013-04-15T13:33:46.767-04:00And Congress owns Libya, Yemen, Syria, etc.

Therefore, we must assume that since Russian intelligence is particularly skilled and a persistent practitioner of this art, it is possible to the point of certainty that, using all their resources and "black-bag" tactics, they have long had the biographical background data that President Obama and his team of lawyers have been so diligent in concealing from the American public.</i><br /><br />http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/04/are_we_being_compromised_by_barack_obamas_murky_past.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-59077237493953014322013-04-15T12:58:58.062-04:002013-04-15T12:58:58.062-04:00In 2011, CNN asked Americans what they thought the...In 2011, CNN asked Americans what they thought the federal government spent on various programs. The results were astonishing: Respondents thought 10 percent of the budget went towards foreign aid. The real answer (using 2010 numbers) was half of one percent. They thought 10 percent went to food assistance. The real answer was 2.8 percent. They thought five percent of the budget went towards PBS. The real answer one-hundredth of one percent. And so on.<br /> <br />The truth is that the federal government, as seen through the budget, is <b>a massive insurance conglomerate with a large standing army.</b> Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid make up almost half of federal spending. Defense is a bit less than as fifth. That’s not to say we’re spending the right amount on those programs. It’s just to sat your money isn’t going to “waste and fraud,” or to a bloated foreign aid budget. It’s going to big, visible and broadly popular programs. That’s why deficit reduction is so hard.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/04/15/five-charts-that-will-make-you-feel-better-about-paying-your-taxes/" rel="nofollow">5 Charts That Will Make You Feel Better About Paying Your Taxes (or not)</a>Rufus IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297231055991566183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-43087320807838814502013-04-15T12:46:04.721-04:002013-04-15T12:46:04.721-04:00I've gotta quit stalling, and go finish my tax...I've gotta quit stalling, and go finish my taxes.
