All he keeps hyper-actively saying is that the Stocks will Crash and Gold will surge. Has not given reasoning.
Jamit_05... I bet you know the answer.
Any way, USD is magic money (- produced out of thin air), has been since 1970's isn't it.
When USD meets it's FATE rest of the world currencies will sure follow and during uncertain
times it is only gold, silver and precious stones that hold trade able value.
And down the line some day if brass replaces gold jewellery/ornaments I wont be surprised.

Snowden fallout: India’s meow, Brazil’s roar
Sreeram Chaulia is a Professor and Dean at the Jindal School of International Affairs in Sonipat, India.
Contrasting reactions in India and Brazil to revelations by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden about the US government’s intrusive surveillance of communications in the two countries are a study in varying diplomatic style, substance and context.
Recent confirmation from journalists working with Snowden that India was a prime victim caught in the crosshairs of the NSA’s megalithic data-sweeping operations did not deter Prime Minister Manmohan Singh from visiting Washington and keeping his date with President Barack Obama on September 27.
India’s phlegmatic take is the antithesis of the mass indignation in Brazil when it became known that the NSA had been snooping into emails and phone conversations of the commanding heights of its economic and political institutions. A nationalistic wave of disgust propelled President Dilma Rousseff to go to the extent of canceling her scheduled state visit to the US, demanding an unqualified apology from Obama, and lambasting the US for violation of human rights, privacy and international law in front of the UN General Assembly.
Rousseff called a spade a spade and snubbed Obama without mincing words. It was an act of international bravado and regional leadership that steeled the spine of Latin America, which has been seething against Washington’s imperious tampering of airspace permissions for Bolivian President Evo Morales and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The Bolivians have condemned European “aggression” at the behest of America and are threatening to sue the US for “crimes against humanity,” while the Venezuelans have kept up a steady verbal barrage against Washington’s “crazy provocations.”
Ecuador has initiated discussions among the 12-member Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), which includes Brazil, to work on a new multilateral Internet defense system that would protect the entire Latin American region against US hacking and espionage. Collective regional action, which is advanced in South America despite plurality in ideology and regime type, has found its newest cohesive cause— halting the American ‘Snooperman’ juggernaut.
Stoic or strategic?
However, the fire and brimstone of the Latin Americans did not infect India one bit. On the eve of the third summit meeting with Obama since 2009, Singh’s endorsement of a “global strategic partnership” between India and the US sounded as though Snowden’s undeniable bombshells were bad dreams that New Delhi had long ago forgotten and forgiven.
Indian officials have downplayed media disclosures based on Snowden’s leaks that show US intelligence agencies planted bugging devices in Indian diplomatic missions in Washington and New York. The nonchalant refrain in New Delhi is that such spying is part and parcel of standard, tacitly accepted practice that every host nation with technical abilities does to foreign missions on its soil.
Yet, ever since the Snowden earthquake erupted earlier this year, one hard reality stares at India: that it was the fifth most spied-upon nation under the NSA’s top-secret PRISM and Boundless Informant programs. Brazil and Russia were actually further down the list than India. Snowden’s American journalist associate, Glenn Greenwald, told an Indian newspaper that India was in the US’s top five target list (behind Iran, Pakistan, Jordan and Egypt) because it is “an increasingly important country in virtually every realm: economic, political, diplomatic and military.” He added that the NSA’s stealing of metadata and specific contents of e-mail systems and phone calls is “a question of power” and gives the US government relative bargaining advantage with a rising state such as India.

10 ways govt shutdown will hurt America
Published time: September 30, 2013 19:10
Edited time: October 01, 2013 07:18
With the threat of a federal government shutdown hanging over the US economy, here is a handy list of the possible effects American citizens and the rest of the world could face if no deal is reached to continue funding.
In the most recent developments in a budget battle, the US Senate Democrats have rejected a proposal by the Republican-led House of Representatives to put off Obamacare for a year in return for temporary funding of the federal government beyond Monday.
Though adopting spending bills by Oct. 1, the start of the new fiscal year in the US, may seem a purely political issue, if Congress fails to approve funding for the federal government this would seriously affect the daily routine of ordinary US citizens, let alone up to 800,000 federal employees who would be sent home Tuesday without pay if the shutdown takes place.
The last government shutdown lasted 21 days, from December 1996 to January 1997, and cost the administration of US President Bill Clinton cost an estimated $2 billion, according to the White House’s Office of Management and Budget.
In remarks made by Obama Monday evening the President struck a defiant note on the healthcare law.
"An important part of the Affordable Care Act takes effect tomorrow, no matter what Congress decides to do today. The Affordable Care Act is moving forward. That funding is already in place. You can't shut it down."
In another pointed remark aimed at Republicans tying Obamacare to the government shutdown the President essentially accused lawmakers of political blackmail.
"You don't get to extract a ransom for doing your job, for doing what you're supposed to be doing anyway, or just because there's a law there that you don't like."
1 Countdown to US default looms
A halt of US government operations would drag the world’s biggest economy closer to bankruptcy, something unprecedented in US history. If no budget deal is done, the US would bump up against their “debt ceiling” and run out of money by October 17. By then, the US government would have less than $30 billion cash on hand, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has calculated.
2 Hundreds of thousands of federal employees on furlough
A one-time layoff of 800,000 people working for the US government would erode the earlier projected economic growth of 2.5 percent for the fourth quarter of 2013 by about 0.32 percentage points, according to a forecast by Mark Zandi, chief economist and co-founder of Moody's Analytics. That projection assumes a two-week shutdown. If it drags into a whole month, the loss of GDP would rise to 1.4 percentage points.
3 Troops’ paychecks stopped
About 1.4 million military active-duty personnel would keep on working, but with their paychecks delayed. Approval for troops’ paychecks is dependent on Obama’s proposed 2014 federal budget being passed by Congress.

Dr Doom Marc Faber spells out the end game at CLSA Forum
(Marc Faber)
Marc Faber was in fine form at the CLSA Investor Forum, dispensing his trademark gloom and doom. The final keynote was a tour de force of the history of debt, asset bubbles and financial markets in the 20th and 21st centuries. "Unlike the '50s and '70s when there was relatively less overall debt, a financial market crash did not inflict great damage on the economy. Debt levels are significantly higher these days, and so a market crash can inflict serious damage on economies. We've gone through a period of huge asset inflation, in stocks, bonds, commodities, and real estate, and we essentially now have in the world, a huge asset bubble. So everything is grossly inflated."
In addition there has since 2007 been "colossal asset inflation" in high-end goods such as paintings. In thinking about what the next big bubble will be, Faber said: "The problem is I believe you and I are the bubble … the financial system is just too big, that is the problem. Maybe we can't see where the next bubble is because we are the bubble - that is something to consider."
Faber thought economists should distinguish between economic growth where credit grows at the same rate as the economy, which he believes is sound compared with a situation where credit grows faster than the economy. Credit used in capital formation is more beneficial to an economy than if used for consumption, as is the case in the US. "One day this whole credit bubble will be deflated very badly - you are going to experience a complete implosion of all asset prices and the credit system - but as to when -I don't know."
One advanced sign of the cracks in the system are already evident. A dollar of additional credit in the system created significant economic growth, but these days an additional dollar has very little impact. "That is a sign that we have reached the end of monetary policy." Another indication is when the US government has to issue treasuries to pay the interest on its maturing debt. "That will be the end game - then you are dealing with a collapse in the currency."

SUPPORT NEEDED:Over 3,000 ppl mostly of age under 30 are suffering from recurring massive nosebleeding in Japan.
In the planet we trust and are entrusted
Posted: 09/27/2013
Updated: 10/01/2013
FACTS: Previous compilations of tweets presenting facts discovered during the last week (*Tweets are all in Japanese)
1.FACT: Over 5,000 ppl were reported of tweeting "nosebleed"（hanaji) over the past two-day period from 9/22-9/23 http://togetter.com/li/567445
2.FACT: Over 3,000 ppl were reported of tweeting "can't stop my nosebleed" (hanaji ga tomaranai) during the week of 9/20-9/30 (as of 12am 10/01/2013 JST) http://togetter.com/li/568710
3.FACT: Over 2,500 ppl were reported of tweeting "I'm nosebleeding" (hanaji ga deta) during the short days of 9/28-9/30 (as of 12 am 10/01/2013 JST) http://togetter.com/li/570016
WHAT THESE FIGURES MEAN:
(1) During the two-day period of 9/22-9/23, over 5,000 tweets were accounted with people tweeting "nosebleed" (Exact figure was 5,015 but my own comments and reactions have been deducted) nationwide. (2) Also during the period of 9/20-10/01, over 3,000 (Exact figure was 3,019 but my own comments and reactions were deducted) tweets were accounted with people tweeting "can't stop my nosebleed" nationwide, signifying that the symptoms are recurring and massive in volume.
The compilation of nosebleeding tweets (1) has been filtered with the keyword of "hanaji ga tomraranai(鼻血が止まらない)", which evidently reduces the number of search results. When filtered just by the keyword of "hanaji(鼻血)" (2), there were over twice more in just two days. Thus the over 3,000 ppl accounted for the last 11 days are deemed to be inconclusive (there are in fact MORE; and there are more ppl WITHOUT Twitter).
Observation of the 11-day tweets compilation suggests that the tweeters are in average of the age under 30. Most of them are students (high-school and college students, perhaps some junior-high schoolers and elementary school children under parental care; there are some albeit very few reports from parents themselves), and new adults working part-time or full-time under the age of 30. The exact statistics of these cannot be known due to the complexity of figuring out the identity of the tweeters.
But this much we know:
The vast majority of these youth are under 30 (assumed) are not taking seriously of the nosebleed and are either often found joking about it or trying to handle the situation all by themselves. Because nosebleeding in Japan is often associated with having improper (often sexual) thoughts and fantasies, there is an inherent cultural barrier in Japan that restrain them from coming out in the open to admit it as a serious matter or even just letting the public know about it. But in fact the observation suggests that many of them are suffering from the (a) recurring, (b) massive in volume, and (c) enduring nosebleeding that are beginning to pose risks to their overall health by causing other symptoms such as low fever, headaches, nausea, and fatigue. Some are skipping schools and work due to them.
There is some hope since some of these people have started to take the matter seriously to seek medical help. Many suspect that the medical dysfunction of nosebleeding and other symptoms are caused by seasonal hay fever, stress, or fatigue. Japan's mainstream media as well as the medical institutions are not taking the matter as serious health risk and thus there are virtually no reports on these symptoms. The social media helped bring light to the issue, thanks to Twitter.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED:
Without major medical warning or reports through the mainstream media, however, people cannot determine whether it is indeed a great health risk or not. There are no accumulated, reliable statistics on the issue of nosebleeding (at least not in Japan, either by the government or by the medical community) and thus people cannot make an objective judgement based on them (without the help of mainstream media). However, what we see on Twitter is only a tiny portion of what is happening in the real world. Thus the numbers found can be easily multiplied by ten or more (then can we say approx. 30,000 and in a week is a lot or not?). We can only FEEL the threat that this is a great health risk. That there are "way too many nosebleeding" going around.
As suggested before, the observed tweets strongly suggest that the reported nosebleedings are:
1.recurring;
2.massive in volume; and
3.enduring.
It has been observed that many tweeters have suffered the symptom for at least more than 3 days in a row, with symptom enduring for more than 30 minutes and up to 3 hours, which also defines massive quantity of blood being lost. We must let them know that this is NOT NORMAL and prompt them to seek immediate medical help or other assistance.
The following is a list of the 3,019 twitter accounts that have tweeted "Can't stop my nosebleed" for the past 11 days:
https://www.facebook.com/GivingTreeIntnl/posts/10151931334807089
I created a web survey to ask them of the level of their symptoms so as to ascertain their location (region) and the exact demographic distribution of symptoms in Japan nationwide. The survey, however has gone widely unnoticed. It is quite strange, given that my initial compilation of tweets (FACT1) have enjoyed over 28,000 views nationwide.
Web survey inquiring 10 questions on the status of nosebleeding and other symptoms with recommendation from a physician's website to seek medical attention: (All in Japanese) *expired
http://tsunotter.com/ans/1/4188
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
For Japanese Facebook and Twitter users, I've been asking for assistance to help spread the survey to as much of the affected people as possible using the list shown above. For users overseas, I would like to ask the following:
1.Help me create a database out of this massive list;
2.Help me find reliable statistics on nosebleeding in general vis-a-vis abnormal nosebleeding; and
3.Help me devise a way to bring in the international civic community's attention on the matter.
ANYONE'S HELP IS WELCOME
WE ONLY WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH
AND HELP OUR OWN PEOPLE FROM THEIR SUFFERING
FINAL NOTE: There was an unconfirmed report that the 400-ft. tall exhaust pipe at F1 have crumbled around 9/20 immediately following the M5.9 earthquake (Shindo 5-lower in JMA scale) epicentered in Fukushima causing massive radioactive pume from spreading across the country. There was also an unconfirmed report that government personnel (in particular the MoFA ppl) were ordered to evacuate to the Southern part of Japan in Kyushu or Okinawa to avoid the catastrophe. These unconfirmed reports (a.k.a. 'rumors') were quickly killed within the social media community without having any major media exposure. Days after the reports there are this report about increasing nosebleeding incidents, with common characteristics of 1) large volume, 2)enduring, 3)recurring patterns.

ANYONE'S HELP IS WELCOME
WE ONLY WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH
AND HELP OUR OWN PEOPLE FROM THEIR SUFFERING
FINAL NOTE: There was an unconfirmed report that the 400-ft. tall exhaust pipe at F1 have crumbled around 9/20 immediately following the M5.9 earthquake (Shindo 5-lower in JMA scale) epicentered in Fukushima causing massive radioactive pume from spreading across the country. There was also an unconfirmed report that government personnel (in particular the MoFA ppl) were ordered to evacuate to the Southern part of Japan in Kyushu or Okinawa to avoid the catastrophe. These unconfirmed reports (a.k.a. 'rumors') were quickly killed within the social media community without having any major media exposure. Days after the reports there are this report about increasing nosebleeding incidents, with common characteristics of 1) large volume, 2)enduring, 3)recurring patterns.
