Jim Rickards Latest

This is really what gold is about imo..currency wars and we are already seeing signs of this...let's hope it doesn't happen but you should be aware of it. And btw, Jim Rickards is well respected too so don't fade him. Read his book "Currency Wars".

Also if you're interested on some astrostuff...this is from my personal astrologer that was sent to me last week regarding potential war ahead.

There is some information regarding eclipse patterns of 2013 that I need to share with you. As most of you know I regard the influence of an eclipse in a natal chart as rather a positive influence. However when one studies the effect of an eclipse in regard to the other planets in our solar system quite a different conclusion can be drawn. In this way there are some disturbing patterns in 2013.

On April 25 2013 a lunar eclipse occurs @ 5.46 Scorpio. The degree of this eclipse conjuncts Saturn (which is at 8.25 Scorpio). The most disturbing fact is that there is a Saturn/Mars opposition occurring then with Mars @ 4.29 Taurus. This means that Mars is conjuncting the Sun while the Moon is conjuncting Saturn. The degree of this eclipse falls very close to the degree in Scorpio which has been traditionally associated with the country of Iran. There is great danger that a war will ensue as a result of this eclipse. Israel is a Taurus country and can be a target. However this pattern can go quite beyond Israel and be a dangerous one for the entire Middle East. Now follow me to look at the next eclipse:

On May 10 2013 a solar eclipse occurs @ 19.31 Taurus. Mars is in a close conjunction to this eclipse point (it being 14.50 Taurus). This is a very volatile pattern. It can continue the first eclipse's pattern for war and in fact expand it to a dangerous level.

Amazingly there is a third eclipse coming up on May 25th. It occurs @ 4.08 Sagittarius. This makes a close square to Neptune which is @ 5.20 Pisces. Neptune is associated with oil and therefore connected to all the bearing countries of the Middle East. Egypt has traditionally been associated with the sign of Pisces. These aspects can create a dangerous time for Egypt and draw it into war.

Things continue to be dangerous with an eclipse latter in 2013. On Nov. 03 2013 a solar eclipse occurs @ 11.16 Scorpio. This one also conjucts Saturn which is @ 13.53 Scorpio. The karmic Moon's nodes are involved with this eclipse and the previous one on May 10th. The eclipse points conjunct either the South Node (May 10th) or the North Node (Nov 03ed).

Together all this make for a rather warlike flavor for 2013. Combined powers of meditation and prayers are most needed this year to "combat" these energies and "transform" them into good. Please spread the news to all and work on changing these energies into peaceful ones.

Thanks for sharing that - I also dont think we get thru the year without another major war - ie on the scale of Iraq afghanistan etc...

War is already under way in Asia.

BOJ is going to print, print, print and ravage the Yen.

$Yen is going much higher...

I have a chart that supports this concept:

This FXY chart says it should bounce, so we are about to find out just how strong their resolve is over there. If it doesn't bounce on a volume divergence, that's not a bullish sigh.

If the folks over there decide this is it - they aren't going to let up, and no amount of volume will cause it to bounce until they reach their target.

OK, I guess one more rounds this out...

I presume you mean the Yen is going lower?
Note however that sentiment is more lopsided than ever: you have lots of company on that trade

What in THAT chart of FXY you posted says bounce?
And can you restate that double negative: i have a hard time with those...

The Volume is drying up at the lows. That's a bullish volume divergence/bullish spring setup. If it doesn't bounce, it means the sellers are still there, and just accommodating anyone who wants to buy at these levels before they take it lower.

Thank you for the Astro stuff TraderMama.

Buy Gold in May and Go Away looks good according to this Composite Cycle.

But I am long anyway, so I may just go to 'extreme' leverage then.
