Politie betrapt dieven met ton koperkabels NMBS

tja, eens of oneens, daar vraag je wat.
ik heb wel eens het idee dat het niet zozeer de economie is die aantrekt, maar dat de voorraden slinken.
en dat dat de reden is dat er weer geproduceerd gaat worden.
en niet zozeer omdat de vraag ineens sterk aantrekt.
zelf werk ik in de metaal verwerkende branche, en zie toch nog veel bedrijven in moeielijkheden, en faillisementen.
de hoogovens worden weer opgestookt, maar er wordt niet veel meer metaal afgenomen dan eerder. alleen hebben bedrijven hun voorraad weggewerkt.
zoals een ieder weet; voorraad is duur!

Het VRT-radionieuws van vandaag 13h00 had vandaag goed nieuws. De economie is zich aan het herpakken, enz. Ik geloof het graag. Ik ben altijd veel pessimistischer geweest dan deze berichtgeving. Telkens heb ik er welgemeend aan toegevoegd dat ik veel en veel liever ongelijk zou krijgen.

Dat de koperprijs is verdubbeld en de koperdieven terug aan de slag gaan, is echter opnieuw een veeg teken aan de wand van de inflatie waarover wij het ook zo veel hebben gehad. Van de bankencrisis regelrecht de grondstoffen”oorlog” in.

Laat ons hopen dat ik ongelijk krijg op alle pessimistische vlakken.

Een andere visie van iemand die zegt een kenner te zijn.

Beneath the surface…

I hope your Tuesday exceeds your expectations.

In today’s video I comment on a meeting that was held this past Friday. In attendance were Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, Sheila Bair, Mary Shapiro and others.

The story detailing events of the meeting appeared in the Los Angeles Times last night.

It appears that our Secretary of the Treasury was in a rather foul mood and was feeling the pressure. The LA Times reports that the meeting was an hour long tirade by Mr. Geithner that included repeated use of obscenities.

I would venture to guess that he is feeling some sort of pressure and that it is likely related to the failed policy of attempting to build public confidence by telling mountains of economic lies.

You can tell a lie all you want, but the truth will still stand.

Beneath the surface of the lies, the economy and financial system continue to deteriorate.

This entire theory of managing the economy through the use of confidence is faulty.

Since consumer spending is 70% of the economy, their theory is that if they can instill confidence in the masses of consumers, those consumers will then go out and spend with reckless abandon like they have in the past.

The theory will not work because consumers don’t have as much income as they have in the past, nor do they have the ability to successfully take on more debt.

While putting makeup on a terminal cancer patient may mask the underlying disease, it does nothing to cure the illness. Neither does instilling false confidence in consumers cure the underlying problems in our economy.

It’s a theory doomed to utter failure.

My thesis is simple:

Get ready for Financial Crisis Round 2. Nearly every forecast that I made earlier this year is unfolding daily in the mainstream financial news: increased foreclosure rates, commercial real estate sinking rapidly, unemployment rising, and other countries seeking alternatives to the U.S. Dollar.

Round 2 of this crisis will be worse than Round 1.

This financial disaster is not over — the financial system remains broken and insolvent — and to date nothing in our financial system has been genuinely fixed, only covered up. Our leaders are not taking proper corrective action, but simply lining the pockets of themselves and their friends while digging a deeper economic hole for the rest of the country.

Round 2 of this crisis is going to be a much, much more severe calamity than what we’ve seen so far. Please, please take action to prepare now, while there is still time to act.

Very soon, that time will have run out.

Americans simply NEED to know about the con that is going on within the financial system, and about the crisis that is about to befall them.

Americans also need to know that when Round 2 hits, the solution is not to give the wealthy money men and their cronies trillions more in bailout money courtesy of every hard-working American.

We should not be giving the very same people who caused this crisis more money and power.

We should prosecute white collar crime, not reward it!

At StocksOnAlert.com, I’m not only dedicated to keeping you informed about all the behind-the-scenes details of this unfolding financial disaster, but to help you successfully navigate through it by providing accurate and objective financial information — so that you and your loved ones will emerge on the other side of the crisis with much more wealth than you have today.

Unfortunately, most gullible Americans will be driven to the poor house by the broken actions of our broken government.

In the meantime, insiders and their cronies who are well-connected are running off with trillions of dollars, courtesy of the soon-to-be broke U.S. Taxpayer.

Of course, I will be continuing to sound the alarm every step of the way.
