Στοιχεία για το γεγονός ότι ενδεχομένως
έρχεται μια παγκόσμια κατάρρευση του τραπεζικού συστήματος καθώς γνωστοί
επενδυτές ξεφορτώνονται χαρτιά εκατομμυρίων και αγοράζουν χρυσό.
Επίσης πάνω από 600 τραπεζικά στελέχη
έχουν αφήσει τις θέσεις τους το τελευταίο έτος. Αυτά και άλλα ενδιαφέροντα στοιχεία…
If you want to
figure out what is going to happen next in the financial markets, carefully watch
what the insiders are doing. Those that are “connected” have access to far
better sources of information than the rest of us have, and if they hear that
something big is coming up they will often make very significant moves with
their money in anticipation of what is about to happen. Right now, Wall
Street insiders and central banks all around the globe are making some very
unusual moves. In fact, they appear to be rapidly preparing for something
really big. So exactly what are they up to? In a previous article entitled “Are The Government And The Big Banks Quietly Preparing For
An Imminent Financial Collapse?“, I speculated
that they may be preparing for a financial meltdown of some sort. As I noted in
that article, more than 600 banking executives have resigned from their positions over the past 12 months, and I
have been personally told that a substantial number of Wall Street bankers have
been shopping for “prepper properties” this summer. But now even more evidence
has emerged that quiet preparations are being made for an imminent financial
collapse. That doesn’t guarantee that something will happen or won’t happen.
Like any good detective, we are gathering clues and trying to figure out what
the evidence is telling us.
Why Is George Soros Selling So Much Stock And
Buying So Much Gold?
I am certainly
not a fan of George Soros. He has funneled millions upon millions of dollars
into organizations that are trying to take America in the exact wrong
direction.
However, I do
recognize that he is extremely well connected in the financial world. Soros is
almost always ahead of the curve on financial matters, and if something big is
going to go down George Soros is probably going to know about it ahead of time.
That is why it is
very alarming that he has dumped all of his banking stocks and that he is
massively hoarding gold. The following is from shtfplan.com…
In a harbinger of what may be coming our way in the
Fall of 2012, billionaire financier George Soros has sold all of his equity
positions in major financial stocks according to a 13-F report filed with the
SEC for the quarter ending June 30, 2012.
Soros, who manages funds through various accounts in
the US and the Cayman Islands, has reportedly unloaded over one million shares
of stock in financial companies and banks that include Citigroup (420,000
shares), JP Morgan (701,400 shares) and Goldman Sachs (120,000 shares). The
total value of the stock sales amounts to nearly $50 million.
What’s equally as interesting as his sale of major
financials is where Soros has shifted his money. At the same time he was
selling bank stocks, he was
acquiringsome 884,000 shares (approx. $130 million) of Gold via the SPDR Gold Trust.
Why would you
dump over a million shares of stock in major banks and purchase more than 100
million dollars worth of gold?
Well, it would
make perfect sense if you believed that a collapse of the financial system was
about to happen.
Earlier this
year, George Soros told the following to Newsweek…
“I am not here to cheer you up. The situation is about
as serious and difficult as I’ve experienced in my career,” Soros tells
Newsweek. “We are facing an extremely difficult time, comparable in many ways
to the 1930s, the Great Depression.
We are facing now a general retrenchment in the
developed world, which threatens to put us in a decade of more stagnation, or
worse. The best-case scenario is a deflationary environment. The worst-case
scenario is a collapse of the financial system.”
It looks like he
is putting his money where his mouth is.
Perhaps even
more disturbing is what he believes is coming after the financial collapse…
As anger rises, riots on the streets of American
cities are inevitable. “Yes, yes, yes,” he says, almost gleefully. The response
to the unrest could be more damaging than the violence itself. “It will be an
excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and
order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political
system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which
would be a break with the tradition of the United States.”
That doesn’t
sound good.
George Soros has
told us what he believes is going to happen, and now he is making moves with
his money that indicate that he is convinced that it is actually about to start
happening.
But he is not
the only one that has been busy accumulating gold.
Billionaire John
Paulson (the one that made 20 billion
dollars on the subprime mortgage meltdown) has
been buying gold like crazy and his company now “has 44 percent of its $24 billion fund exposed to bullion.”
So why are Soros
and Paulson buying up so much gold?
Central Banks Are Also Hoarding Gold According to the World Gold Council, the amount of
gold bought by the central banks of the world absolutely soared during the
second quarter of 2012. The 157.5 metric tons of gold bought by the central
banks of the world last quarter was an increase of 62.9 percent from the first
quarter of 2012 and a 137.9 percent increase from the second quarter of 2011.
Prior to 2009,
the central banks of the world had been net sellers of gold for about two
decades. But now that has totally changed, and last quarter central banks
stocked up on gold in quantities that we have not seen before…
At 157.5 metric tons, gold buying among central banks
came in at its highest quarterly level since the sector became a net buyer of
the precious metal in the second quarter of 2009, data in the organization’s
quarterly Gold Demand Trends report show.
So why have the
central banks of the world become such gold bugs?
Is there
something they aren’t telling us?
Rampant Insider Selling
Wall Street
insiders have been dumping a whole lot of stock this year.
In my previous article, I linked to a CNN article from back in April…
First quarter earnings have been decent, if not
spectacular. And many corporate executives are issuing cautiously optimistic
guidance for the rest of the year.
But while insiders’ lips are saying one thing, their
wallets are saying another. The level of insider selling among S&P 500
(SPX) companies is the highest in nearly 10 years. That is not good.
A lot of
insiders appear to be getting out at the top of the market while the getting is
still good.
Other insiders
appear to be bailing out before the bottom falls out from beneath them.
Just check out
what has been happening to Facebook stock. It hit another new record low
on Thursday as insiders dumped stock. The following is from a CNN article…
Facebook’s life as a public company has been a
nightmare from day one, and the pain continued on Thursday as some company
insiders got their first chance to dump shares.
Facebook stock hit a new intra-day low of $19.69
Thursday morning, and ended the day 6.3% lower at $19.87.
Sadly, Facebook
has now lost close to half of its value since the IPO.
Will Facebook
end up being the poster child for the irrational stock market bubble that we
have seen over the past couple of years?
Overall, retail
investors have been very busy pulling money out of stocks in recent weeks.
The following
are the net inflows to equity funds over the past five weeks (in millions of
dollars) according to ICI…
7/11/2012: -537
7/18/2012: 637
7/25/2012: -2,999
8/1/2012: -6,866
8/8/2012: -3,684
According to the
figures above, more than 10
billion dollars has been pulled out of equity funds over the past
two weeks alone.
So does this
mean anything?
Maybe.
Maybe not.
But it is very
interesting and it bears watching.
Why Does The U.S. Government Need So Much
Ammunition?
In my previous article, I also noted that the U.S. government appears to be
very rapidly making preparations for something really big.
This week, it
was revealed that the Social Security Administration plans to buy 174,000 hollow point bullets which will be delivered to
41 different locations all over America.
Now why in the
world does the Social Security Administration need 174,000 bullets?
And why do they
need hollow point bullets? Those bullets are designed to cause as much damage
to internal organs as possible.
But of course
this is only the latest in a series of very large purchases of ammunition by
U.S. government agencies. The following is from a recent article by Paul Joseph Watson…
Back in March, Homeland Security purchased 450 million rounds of
.40-caliber hollow point bullets that are designed to expand upon entry and
cause maximum organ damage, prompting questions as to why the DHS needed such a
large amount of powerful bullets merely for training purposes.
This was followed by another DHS solicitation asking for a further 750 million rounds of
assorted bullets, including 357 mag rounds that are able to penetrate walls.
Now why in the
world would the government need over a billion rounds of ammunition?
If it was the
U.S. military I could understand this. You can burn through a whole lot
of ammunition fighting wars.
But this makes
no sense – unless they believe that big trouble is coming.
Personally, I
wouldn’t blame them for getting prepared. Our economy continues to
fall apart and there are signs of social decay everywhere around us.
The American
people are more frustrated and more angry than at any other time in modern
history. This upcoming election is only going to cause Americans to
become even more angry and even more divided.
All it would
take is just the right “spark” to cause this country to erupt.
It could be the
upcoming election.
It could be the
collapse of the financial system.
Or it might be
something else.
But the
conditions are definitely there for it to happen.
Unfortunately,
the American public is never told to prepare because authorities never want “to
panic” the general population.
We are always
the last to know, and that stinks.
So don’t wait
for someone to come on the television and announce that a crisis is happening.
If you wait that
long, it will be too late.
Instead, open up
your eyes and think for yourself.
We all need to
work hard to get prepared for the coming crisis while we still can.
As you can see,
Wall Street insiders, the U.S. government and the central banks of the world
are busy getting prepared.
Don’t put your
head in the sand.
The warning
signs are there and time is running out.
