z,

Yes, they printed during an actual period of growth, and at a rate at least somehow connected to economic activity. We could argue about the great engine, meaning the high water mark and unwind in bonds due to Volcker, as we argue that the hang-over we have now was started by policies with mortgage bonds started under Ronald, but there was growth from the 80's to the 2000 range. Now, not so much, at least in terms of real growth.

So, what we have now is an entirely new form of printing. How big? Try 12 bucks a month for every living human on the planet, give or take fiddy cents. And that is just The Fed.

So, our Fed is printing 12 bucks a month and feeding it to the people that caused this problem. The parasites on Wall Street that more or less drove the hollowing out of productive economy.

I'm just calling it like I see it. And gold is being held down. No doubt about it. I really don't give a damn if they destroy the equity market, as that game will run and just implode again. But the holding down gold thing is a scam and it pisses me off.

But I'm not selling.
