Silver Plunges As Yen Stop Surge Triggers Margin Liquidation + Behind the scenes

Submitted by Tyler Durden: Not a moment after someone was slammed with a massive margin call following the hit of 102 USDJPY stops as we noted moments ago, was that same someone(s) forced to dump a whole lot of silver in thin, no volume trading taking out the entire bid stack on what can only be described as "get me the hell out and pay me anything" liquidation, sending the precious metal to just over $20, before yet another round of buying programs kicked in, and sent it right back up, allowing those quick enough to capitalize on some foolish macro trader's blowing up to pocket a huge profit before Japan has even woken up.

Thank you Kuroda, Bernanke and co for this total farce of a "market."

Ferdinand Lips and "Gold Wars"

GoldMoneyNews: Lawrence Parks, of FAME, and James Turk, Director of the GoldMoney Foundation, talk about the upcoming new translations of Ferdinand Lips' book "Gold Wars" in which he advocated that the Swiss keep their gold backing for the Swiss Franc. They reminisce about "Ferdie" Lips (RIP), whom they both knew, and his fight to defend sound money against a coalition of central bankers, the IMF and Swiss exporters, how he warned of the dangers to Swiss banks which would result and have since come to pass.

Widely Visible Symbols Of Human Folly

Raül Ilargi Meijer: Why do we do it? Sure, we discount the future, and consensus is that's genetic, but it's not just our own future we discount. In fact it's not even the one we discount most: that would be our children's future. We don't just take what we need, we take all we can, and leave them with the consequences. After us the deluge.

Argument for MEN's earlier retirement and lengthier paternity leave

Lindy West: A new Japanese study has found that women's immune systems age more slowly than men's (misandry!), which is why, statistically, women slightly outlive men. As we age and our immune systems decline, we become more susceptible to disease and infection. This happens to women too, of course, but the study suggests it happens slightly earlier in men. Sooooo...girl power? Or whatever?

Researchers took blood samples from 365 men and women between the ages of 20 and 90, and tested for white blood cells and cytokines (molecules that help regulate disease response).

In both sexes, the number of white blood cells per person declined with age as expected from previous studies.
However, closer examination revealed differences between men and women in two key components of the immune system - T-cells, which protect the body from infection, and B-cells, which secrete antibodies.

The rate of decline of most T-cell and B-cell lymphocytes was faster in men, while men also showed a more rapid age-related decline in two cytokines.

SWIVEL-EYED LOONS ROW: Why James Kirkup, Paul Goodman, James Forsyth and Nigel Farage have some serious questions to answer

Did a Gang of Four set out 

to create Swivelgate?

Not a swivel-eyed loon, as such

The Tory Party Co-Chairman Andrew Feldman is vehemently denying that he was the person who made the “bunch of swivel-eyed loons” (BOSEL) crack about Conservative grassroots workers. He is, I’m told, considering legal action if anyone repeats the rumour. Analysis by The Slog suggests that four key players may well have been behind the alleged insult becoming infamous now…despite having been first uttered by Cameron himself some time ago.

The Slog: Somebody – or more accurately, body of men – have worked very hard to inflate the swivel-eyed loons row. For starters, there are those who think Boris Johnson’s younger brother Jo is far more of a cuckoo in the Camerlot nest than the Prime Minister realises. Boris has said on several occasions in private that he and his brother Johnson “are indivisible on policy”. Within days of being appointed, Johnson the younger urged Cameron to seriously reconsider building a new hub airport in the Thames Estuary. This is, of course, his Mayoral brother’s pet project. Previous pamphlets from Jo also suggest he is at odds with his new boss.

The Bermuda Triangle of economics

Steen Jakobsen: The mystique of the Bermuda Triangle has caught the imagination and interest of generations. In much the same way it has also caught my attention and I feel that now there is a Bermuda Triangle of economics - a space where everything tends to disappear without radar contact, a black hole in which rationality and science is replaced by hope, superstition and nonsense pundits like myself pretending to understand the real drivers of the economy.
The Bermuda Triangle in real life runs from Bermuda to Puerto Rico to Miami. The economic one runs from high stock market valuations to high unemployment to low growth/productivity. Just like the real Bermuda Triangle, in the Bermuda Triangle of economics there is plenty of scientific evidence that can explain most, if not everything, of what is going on. But that does not suit Hollywood, sorry, the US Federal Reserve.
Neither does it suit mainstream banking analysis or the media in dealing with reality and facts: the mystique simply sells better! After all, there is a reason why people leave science education for PhDs in apps and virtual reality.

"Things Are Looking Up! The American Auto Industry Is Thriving! American Energy Is ...Booming!" Says Bomber Obama

Angelo: Now that's what I call funny! This is a joke right? Bad lipreading? He didn't really say that with a straight face? Did this actually happen? Obama the baby bomber with his peace prize. So old fashioned. So 1984. War is peace everyone and you need a license from MonSatan to reproduce. Lets all go to school so that we can be made so stupid that we need training to serve fries at McD's after we graduate!
