excellent quote followed by clear future perspective
"O'Neill has been unable to maintain the illusion that the dollar is worthy of being the world's reserve currency," says James Turk, founder of gold payment system GoldMoney.com. "So he's gone. Very bullish for gold."

"The talking heads on CNBC and others are putting on a "full court press" trying to convince the public that the bear market is over. This is a lie. The stock market has two phases, accumulation and distribution. When the market is up the "professional traders" (sharks) and brokerage houses are distributing stock to the suckers. When the market drops by large amounts (crashes) the sharks accumulate stock.
Before this bull trap ends, prices should be near or in resistance areas SP500 955-971, and Dow 8935-9080. Only a decline beneath key short-term support of 916 in the S&P and 8636 in the Dow (both the highs of November 18) would indicate that a top has been recorded and the next leg of the bear market is underway. Spread the word."
"The dollar will crash back to pre-bubble levels of around 80, and possibly will undershoot even lower. The world will then be on a de-facto Euro standard, as faith in the U.S. dollar and U.S. assets will have been lost. This drop is a decline of over 26% from current levels and corresponds to a gold price of around $430.
"At the moment, the dollar uptrend is still intact, so the Fed's dangerous game still continues. Until the 104 dollar is breached, stocks and bonds can continue to rally. When it is breached they will fall simultaenously. It will be a double whammy for these assets, because not only will their prices fall in dollar terms -- as foreigners exit -- the dollar itself will be falling. In short, dollars and dollar denominated assets are overowned by the rest of the world. Once the reversal comes there will be no stopping its downward momentum in my opinion." -RICH SPOHR, Swiss America broker, 11/27/02 |
