Max Keiser

Russia Today's Max Keiser has his own web site - Max Keiser — Markets Finance Scandal.

It's well worth a look. Currently he's involved with a global movement to buy silver and collapse Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley have not disclosed how much silver they are physically holding - preferring to pay a fine instead!!

They're obviously hoping that their dodgy dealings can be recovered over time. However the bullion people 'out there' and who are wise to the dollar scam are putting pressure on the market. Amusingly as these instititutions sell metal to keep the price down, it enables people to buy it cheap thereby putting on more pressure. It's important to note that the movement against Stanley Morgan need people to buy and hold the metal, not just buy it and leave it in a bank vault (and where it probably doesn't even physically exist!) and which is the basis of Morgan Stanley's little 'problem'.

There's a nice little graph showing how Russia is buying gold like it's going out of fashion.

Definately worth a look, as is most of Russia Today.

Keiser I guess, can be described as the ultimate counter culture Economist. He has also been consistantly correct in his predictions on a number of occasions. Apparently a few weeks ago he predicted doom and gloom for 2011 (which was denied by a number of Senior Economists on Bloomberg and other sources). I'm pretty much prepared to accept Keiser's analysis (which I won't go into in great depth) due to a fairly convincing analysis of the Global Oil Market 2011-2012 carried out by the Oil Industry, which pretty much alines itself with Keiser's stagnation analysis.

Another interesting fact is that Oil is WAY above the price that it should be, suggesting Investor interest. Oil inventories are high, supply is outstripping demand, and oil demand is predicted to virtually stagnate into 2011 (a paltry 1 million bpd increase expected).

I use this site

Buy Gold, Buy Silver, Buy Platinum at GoldMoney

to hold metal.

Nice and easy to use and real physical gold, not certificates.
