The very tumultuous first week of 2016 was led off by one of the most startling mea culpas in modern financial history. On Monday, the ex-head of the Dallas Fed revealed on CNBC that the FED "frontloaded an enormous market rally in order to create a wealth effect" and that "The Fed is a giant weapon that has no ammunition left. The week then ended with another member of the robber-barron class, the current President of the San Francisco Fed, publicly stating that the Federal Reserve has 4 more rate hikes planned in 2016, assuming the economy continues growing at its torrid pace. The hubris of these Federal Reserve shills is hilarious; the retired one warns that giant bubbles bursting, while the one still on the payroll spews bald-faced lies about growth and employment data, seemingly oblivious to the all-time lowest 'print' ever of the Baltic Dry Index just a day earlier, which is now 'off' 95% from its peak! A real-time example of the egregious distortions caused my these central banksters can be seen in a company like Amazon, where their market cap of $286 billion is somehow four times larger than the value of all of the above-ground silver bullion on Earth -- 5 billion ounces @ $14 per ounce. Really? (Most students of the silver market actually believe there is less than 1 billion ounces remaining above-ground). The smart money is getting out folks, THERE ARE NO MORE CANS TO KICK, and never has there been a better time to tune-out the noise (don't panic, its a cycle) and tune-in to physical silver and gold, where the fundamentals have never been better. I am here to help when you're ready. Happy New Year!
