Vende-se ouro

Ontem dei uma volta pela cidade de Espinho.
.
Exagerando só um pouco, posso dizer que em cada rua havia duas e três placas "Compramos ouro".
.
Quando chegará o tempo em que os portugueses vão começar a trocar depósitos por ouro?
.
Nessa altura começarão a surgir placas "Vendemos ouro"

Para reflexão

"Germans lead gold rush frenzy" o objectivo não é ganhar dinheiro é defender o que se tem, sintoma de descrença e desconfiança. Nunca tiveram um chanceler FDR se não sabiam que estão encurralados e que nem o ouro os vai salvar.

Os beneficiários dos OEs em cada país são como cucos normandos que açambarcam a riqueza criada em seu benefício à custa da impostação cada vez mais violenta aos saxões indefesos. "Lessons for the U.S. in Greece’s National Meltdown"

.

"One in three Greeks works for the government. Government employees enjoy higher wages, more munificent benefits, and earlier retirements than private-sector employees. Civil servants can retire after 35 years of service at 80 percent of their highest salary and enjoy lavish health plans, vacations, and other perks. Because they are so numerous, and because Greece is highly centralized, public-sector unions hardly have to negotiate. They simply vote in their preferred bosses. Some civil servants receive bonuses for using computers, others for arriving at work on time. Forestry workers get a bonus for outdoor work.(Moi ici: Era capaz de jurar que isto também há por cá) All civil servants receive 14 yearly checks for twelve months’ work. And it’s almost impossible to fire them — even for the grossest incompetence.

Public-sector unions are growing in the U.S. More than 50 percent of all union members are now public employees, and their unions have negotiated sweet deals with local, state, and federal governments. As economic historian John Steele Gordon points out, “Federal workers now earn, in wages and benefits, about twice what their private-sector equivalents get paid. State workers often have Cadillac health plans and retirement benefits far above the private sector average: 80 percent of public-sector workers have pension benefits, only 50 percent in the private sector. Many can retire at age 50.” While private employers were shedding jobs during the recession, state and local governments hired 110,000 new workers." (Moi ici: Picanços e Avoilas are everywhere)

Para reflexão

"So, people and some central banks are seeking refuge in a stable currency that is beyond the control of the financial engineers.

"With the exception only of the period of the gold standard, practically all governments of history have used their exclusive power to issue money to defraud and plunder the people." Fredrich August von Hayek

.
"The gold standard has one tremendous virtue: the quantity of the money supply, under the gold standard, is independent of the policies of governments and political parties. This is its advantage. It is a form of protection against spendthrift governments." Ludwig von Mises
.

Alan Greenspan himself states the case most eloquently in his famous essay from 1966 Gold and Economic Freedom.
"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard.""

Por que sobe a cotação do ouro...

.

E ainda:

.

"Personally, I have been feeling vertigo with gold near $1180. All my contrarian instincts cause me to dislike momentum stories — but there again, maybe this is not momentum. Perhaps it is a civilization shift. Can’t make up my mind."

Gold jumps to $1,000

"Gold jumps to $1,00" casa bem com "China's political elite alarmed by US money printing"
.
"Gold is definitely an alternative, but when we buy, the price goes up. We have to do it carefully so as not to stimulate the markets," he added.
The comments suggest that China has become the driving force in the gold market and can be counted on to buy whenever there is a price dip, putting a floor under any correction."

"Guest post: Breaking news - China has been secretly stocking up on gold"

ou

"China gold reserves apparently doubled"

Com um brilhosinho nos olhos...

"China’s central bank on Monday proposed replacing the US dollar as the international reserve currency with a new global system controlled by the International Monetary Fund."
.
Hummmm... mais uma machadada no ocidentocentrismo. É a consequência natural dado que alguém não se deu ao respeito.
.
Isto sim, é um sinal do dealbar de um mundo realmente novo: "China calls for new reserve currency".
.
Só não percebo é por que não propõem já o ouro, "In an essay posted on the People’s Bank of China’s website, Zhou Xiaochuan, the central bank’s governor, said the goal would be to create a reserve currency “that is disconnected from individual nations and is able to remain stable in the long run, thus removing the inherent deficiencies caused by using credit-based national currencies”."

"The hour that one country declares, they will use gold as their basis, this nation will then slowly and finally, very swiftly, take over as the world’s fiat trade currency."
