Risk, in full agreement with your point on Detroit bail-out, the dollar weakens as gold soars, and how many munies can be bailed out ?.. . . where do you stop ?.
Other relevant news; USA & EU sanctions inposed on Iran are being circumvented by three giants, India, China and Russia.
Said sanctions applicable to new contracts on oil shipments, once implemented, are enforced via the Global Financing Systems in New York and London and with the US Dollar as the base of "trade". However,the above mentioned buyers are poised to dodge that process by creating a new mechanism of TRADE/PAY for oil acquired from Iran.
Henceforth, all payments for oil will be paid in GOLD and not in US. Dollars, thus rendering the sanctions "ineffective". A "GOLD for OIL" system is being strategized now, starting with Delhi's UCO Bank and Turkey's HALK BANKASI (Turkey never joined the "Sanction Spree"), to be followed by China and Russia, ALL WORKING IN CONCERT AGAINST USA & EU.
This in essence will also expedite the development of nuclear weapons in Iran. (the reason for the sanctions.)
As the dollar is abandoned it will decline against other currencies, and gold will soar.
Furthermore, (SMITTLE Report #54031)
US. GOLD CORPORATION ceo Rob McEwen quoted, "Rising metals prices have resulted in a proliferation of junior companies vulnerable to "take overs", due to insufficient operating capital".
This is and has been my concern with SNEY all along, and not the core management, as they have been quite creative thus far by using "shares for pay" in many instances, stands the reason I believe they must make this work since you can not ask for more "sweat equity" than we've seen so far.
RISK,I am optimistic in their ability to make this GOLD Company a success and we shall benefit from their quest and all the other factors just mentioned.
** No, not smoking anything,
ROCKETMAN. . . . . . . .SNEY is GOOOOINGGGGG !!
