To wrap up the detail around last Friday’s news item, let’s look at QE (again). Last Friday we made the point that there have been a number of QE’s before this latest QE3+(or QE Infinity) and each time they stopped the Dow Jones retracted, the economy faltered and they had to enter a new phase of money printing. Whilst the Fed knows this is unsustainable and would lead to economic collapse if continued, they also know that they have both a market hooked on the stimulus and an inability to serve the very debt they have accumulated in doing it for so long. It is quite simply a Ponzi scheme and you know how they end… Long term for gold and silver it should be good either way. Just buy on the lows and be prepared for a volatile ride for a little while longer.
