Watching the Great Unwinding. How easy it was cut a back room deal and redirect the world economy in a Louvre or Plazza Accord.

The 1985 Plaza Accord or Plaza Agreement was an agreement between the governments of France, West Germany, Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom, to depreciate the U.S. dollar in relation to the Japanese yen and German Deutsche Mark by intervening in currency markets.

Not anymore!

The Louvre Accord was an agreement, signed on February 22, 1987 in Paris, that aimed to stabilize the international currency markets and halt the continued decline of the US Dollar caused by the Plaza Accord. [1] The agreement was signed by France, West Germany, Japan, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. [1] Italy was an invited member who declined to finalize the agreement. [1]

Gone are these days amigo!

How easy it was to fly in a Kissinger and resolve in a cozy atmosphere an international tension.
Not anymore.

Welcome to multipolarity!

And the unwinding keeps, well, unwinding.

the owner needed to make appointment at least 24-hours ahead of time to arrange viewing / inventory-taking. no owner is allowed into the actual storage location. the gold is moved into a fairly nondescript room for viewing, and those bars / pallets are not light

portable as a collection they are definitely not

you are unusually gloomy, and as you noted, <<my normal optimistic nature is not so much going into 2016. I suppose holding a dead canary in a coal mine could lead one to that feeling>>

we may muddle-through somehow in 2016-2017, and if we do, suspect we will have done so by actioning NIRP / QE4 and or Helicopter-Money / QE5

i am wary of 2018-2026, and also excited by it

in the mean time i am here in manila checking up on a venture i had not visited in more than a year, and sampling the yummy fare
