Have good news for world union Unless the economic nato is doa, the USA and EU shall use the union to fuck each other's citizenry and blame it on each other, with a nudge and a wink. http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/german-media-commentators-on-the-trans-atlantic-trade-agreement-a-883410.html "The fact is, an economic NATO would be a major venture. The EU and the US are already tightly interwoven economically. … Despite this, 1.5 percent annual economic growth could be created if the remaining barriers were removed. The only problem is that eliminating these barriers would trigger protests of myriad interest groups and also require considerable political capital. It could also test European solidarity. In London and Berlin, the political classes tend to be oriented towards the free market, whereas protectionism often lurks in Paris." "Resistance is already forming. In the future will we (Europeans) be forced to eat chlorine-rinsed American chicken? Will we have to sow the seeds of genetically-modified corn on our fields and accept America's lax data privacy provisions? Or, from the American perspective: Will we have to tolerate the Europeans' obsession with regulations?" "Regardless what the outcome of the talks is, the fact that they are even taking place is extremely advantageous for the Europeans. The EU is now getting a future-oriented project that will allow it to look away from its own problems as well. A free-trade agreement would further open the Continent and could also foster trust between the Americans and Europeans and set standards for the rest of the world. It's worth using all of our energy to promote an economic NATO."

From: P Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2013 5:29 AM Subject: Two near term gold contracts in backwardation Guys, This is a big point that H has pointed out. Rarely if ever (and I believe never) - have two near dated futures contracts for Gold traded in Backwardation. Specific issues have sometimes caused one contract to trade in backwardation, but not two. In real terms, this means that no one is willing to sell their physical gold. Specifically, a holder of physical could sell his real gold and buy a February contract and take delivery and make over 1% annualized right now. Keep your gold and bury it deep. kind regards, P From: H Subject: Re: UBS Date: February 15, 2013 11:09:26 PM GMT+01:00 chart of gold co-bases - both February and April are in backwardation now, February quite a bit and April just moved across the zero line.

Haven't run it myself, but fascinating, if true. M
