Gold Price Forecast Drop Target $787.40
Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013 Apr 21, 2013 - 11:00 AM GMTBy: Brian_Bloom
The unemotional 5% X 3 box reversal P&F chart below (courtesy stockcharts.com) shows a measured move target for gold at $787.40.
No time horizon is capable of being forecast.
Too few understand that:
· the Fed’s purchases of existing government debt does not add to the money supply and, therefore, it is not inflationary. (I read a scathing “expose” of Dr Bernanke’s stupidity and it was clear that the person attacking him did not understand the bookkeeping entries. )
· the slowing velocity of money across the planet serves to place a drag on both the money multiplier and the increasing money supply. Therefore, the Fed’s printing of money is losing its potency to drive the US economy, which is potentially deflationary.
· the underlying reason for the Cyprus deal structure was that the Greek public debt would have had to have been marked to market if the deal was not done in that way. If one of the two banks had been liquidated, the value of Greek sovereign debt would have become transparent. In turn, this would have triggered a cascading domino collapse of supposedly solvent banks who would have been forced to mark to market
· this situation of keeping sovereign debt on the books at full value is not sustainable. At some point, European sovereign debt will have to be marked to market. Should this happen, it will certainly be deflationary
· the people who will benefit most from deflation are the mega wealthy; the people who will have access to both income and cash in an environment of falling asset prices.
With these facts in mind, the above chart becomes believable, but I stress that the time it might take is unknowable. I have been blogging for eleven years trying to explain the real drivers of the economy. After due consideration, for me to continue blogging now will be pointless. My two fact-based novels make constructive suggestions. If people are interested in my thoughts in that regard then they should read those novels.
