big turning point was PrezBush refusal to assist Enron
I give him extreme credit
but it has unleashed a torrent of debt collapse, broken bubble, unending investigations, lost investor confidence, and tight commercial credit
most of all, it has broken GOLD free

has anyone noticed the totally dead movement for accounting reform?
I dont expect one single change
just commitments by accounting firms and public traded companies for more disclosure
that is all, but not quite back to normal

I no longer regard the biggest impetus for GOLD to be upcoming hyperinflation
that will come, picking up speed, but not for a year or two
the big impetus is lost confidence in all things dollar-based
the Dollar is breaking down slowly, inexorably
the Euro is benefiting, but GOLD more so

if the president were Clinton now, we wouldnt be talking about indictments, Spitzer investigations of Grubman
he would have bailed out Enron
but more important, he would have bailed out JPMorgan
really, the Big Three -- JPMorgan, Citibank, GoldSachs

I think the Bushy refusal signed a death warrant to at least one of these banking giants
my guess is JPMorganChase
they have the biggest derivative book, for gold and bonds
both are going to bleed heavy red ink

history will not be kind to Robt Rubin
he used to be a hero of mine
but the more I came to understand what his Strong Dollar position has meant, what destruction it has wrought to our economy and asset base, and the fury of the Broken Bubble consequences...

I now regard Rubin to be a misguided proud fool
his Citibank is at serious risk
I would give my dormant right nut to know the gold and silver short futures positions for the Big Three
they are the principal players among the Gold Cartel

by the way, I continue to read more and more about Arab nations converting Petro$ into GOLD
they regard GOLD as pure in an Ismlamic sense
that may be the only thing I agree with them about goofy Islam
I suppose GOLD is pure, unless touched by women

I expect in the next couple years, for Arab nations to demand GOLD for OIL, not USdollars
