Ron Paul wins a key battle in war to open Fed's books
November 19, 2009 | 5:42 pm
Rep. Ron Paul, the Texas Republican who is perhaps the Federal Reserve's most implacable enemy, scored a big win Thursday on Capitol Hill: The House Financial Services Committee approved adding to a financial-system reform bill Paul's provision to begin federal reviews of the central bank's operations, including its interest-rate decisions.
The vote on the audit provision amendment was 43-26.
Paul has for years asserted that the Fed, which by design is independent of the federal government, was corrupt and that its monetary policy would drive America to ruin by debasing the dollar.
He has sought to abolish the Fed entirely, but because that almost certainly would never fly in Congress, Paul has worked for Plan B: He wants the Government Accountability Office to have full power to audit the central bank's operations -- a measure the Fed bitterly opposes.
"If we get the audit and get the books open, make them answer the questions, I am convinced that the American people will be so outraged that then we will have reform of the monetary system," Paul has said. |

If you bothered to read what Chris said you would not make another fool of yourself. You seem to revel in doing this.
His comment had nothing to do with the absurd statement of professor.inglis and myself being the one person.
He has already said and rightfully so, he does not believe this ridiculous claim of yours.
I was a bit surprised he did not side with you but with such a stupid thing you said, apart from sushishiit who probably is a dummy, he had no intention of making himself look stupid by agreeing with you idiots. |

| professor - currencies are inter-related. Do you not understand anything? it's a bit like your comments that the gold price was down in all currencies except one. You really need to learn a bit more. Please ask one of your students to explain some things to you |

"Most investors herd"
I believe brukevlay did that in March when he said the market wouldn't rally. It has rallied hard. |

"Most investors herd"
They are called the sheeple people.
Stockmarket down usually means USD up
USD up usually means gold down
but USD up and stock market down doesn't have to mean gold down.
Stockmarket down usually means gold up.
I agree with most of the other things you said but the gold bull has a long way still to run.
It's not going to let a silly little thing like the USD which many countries hate, bully the big bull or it will get a horn right where it's mother never kissed it. |

Most investors herd, even the smart ones, which is why optimism is typically at extreme near markets highs (like now) and pessimism at extreme near market lows (like back in March). Sentiment is a much misunderstood yet crucial element in making investment decisions based on market timing. For example, currently virtually everyone is pessimistic about the USD while the opposite is true of stocks, commodities and especially gold (gold fever is evident everywhere you look, even our Fin Review had gold as its cover story on the w/end).
Technical analysis aside, on sentiment alone there is a strong case that we are near a bottom in the USD and, therefore, a top in stocks, commodities, precious metals, oil, real estate and generally all assets that rallied so strongly due to global liquidity flows and the mother-of-all carry trades (an inverse relationship to the USD). The key market reversal is looming. |

RE: "I don't dislike fundamentals. In fact I try to learn about the important ones but TA is what I base my belief on. Fibonacci numbers and resistance lines are around on the US markets right about now."
The important ones are so you cannot regret any mistakes using TA etc. Program Trading is devaluing the value of good fundamentals and TA and good management unfortunately. |

| You may be proven correct over coming weeks. This key market reversal will stem the flow of liquidity that is driving all markets world-wide (from stocks to commodities to precious metals to oil to real estate etc). |
