Bob Brinker said this weekend in his radio program that Gold provides disciple to central bankers, we all know that, more importantly he raised the issue of fractionalization of gold, and this is what must occur if gold is to be a part of the monetary equation meaningfully. Gold supply is just to dear to be considered as viable, Fractionalization via nano particalization is the logical step a central bank could take, to illustrate its commitment to sound money. Change in policy is best met by particalization of precious metals and output of GDP, represented in value added by degrees of freedom for entreprenuers, which is best represented by Hayeks Time Shapes of Capital. even if a CB'er would take this step, it would be more of a marketing ploy with PR value than anything else. The politics of any given country force CB to print or not, and we all know that the politics of most/all countries are fundamentally tied with concepts that show up as largesse, debunking attempts at sound money. Politics is what contradicts the economics of sound money every step of the way.

The whole game of FX is mainly driven by the big players in pursuit of making poorer the smaller players and the general public at large – we all pay in everything we buy the price of FX hedging, as no rational manufacturer will dare going “naked” in fulfilling a contract to manufacture “widgets” whose suppliers and buyers are ruled by a different exchange rate I would not be surprised to learn many years form now of the shenanigans between the US Treasury the US FED, GS and MS etc. including Deutsche Bank and few CB's and sovereign funds like China, Japan ME countries etc., in cohorts manipulating expectation and actuality, in financial markets all in the name of "national interest" but skimming hefty fees to their own pockets in this play of exchangeable chairs from - private enterprise to government office and vice versa As to the Obama administration one must remember from where they came ---- and Chicago has its own history and how you split power, and I will not be surprised to find after the revision of the BLS statistics that unemployment numbers where highly exaggerated at the beginning of their rein only to show substantial improvement toward the mid presidency election so that the Democrats would not loose their grip in Congress and and ability to dictate to the US national soul – all in all in those days we are in a very sorry state of democracy in ALL OECD countries where elected officials are more and more corrupted that it is difficult to distinguish between Theocracy and Democracy images.google.com
