The US Mint kicked off 2012 with a record 6 MILLION+ US Silver Eagles sales. Investors are beginning to diversify their portfolios in a healthy fashion with record volumes of physical gold & silver. 'Plan B' (bullion) is gaining momentum worldwide!

Backwardation happens when there is doubt about the ability to re-acquire a commodity at a future date, thus elevating spot prices higher. Doubt is growing that anyone will be willing to sell their gold & silver for fiat money in the near future.

As local governments are being crushed with budgetary nightmares alternative currency options to the dollar are being considered again. The idea of paying silver bullion for services and goods is accelerating at a blistering pace once again, finally!

As the Pan Asia Exchange continues to take market share away from the CME's control, the CME is countering by lowering margin requirements to trade the metals. This may morph into a retail battle for market volume which can only benefit the market!

While TRILLIONS of bailout dollars were handed out to stabilize the debt bubble, tax payers were told this would help the banks deleverage and balance the economy. We now find out the debt bubble has continued to expand & is becoming very dangerous.

Bernanke has made his position clear, he can & will forcibly attempt to steer the economy at the expense of savers in order to protect Wall Street & big business. Never has a clearer warning been given in human history, vacillate at your own peril.

Many argue that inflation is NOT a threat in the US. Once you realize that tens of trillions of fiat bailout money has amassed on the central banks balance sheets you begin to envision the dam breaking and the fiat flood making the inflation real.

While inflation has began to appear, central banks are intentionally hiding the tidal wave of dollar devaluation on their balance sheets. Soon these mountains of dollar destruction will be released onto the consumers of the world & wreck havoc.

As the FED is forced to admit the US economy requires more inflationary life support, investors are looking for a 'Plan B' to prepare for the coming consequence of the inflationary bailout policies. Plan B in short is gold bullion & silver bullion.

As the US economy grinds slower the tax collection is suffering like never before. This has created the largest dependency on govt. handouts in our history and forcing the govt. to look for ways to extract more and more from less and less taxpayers.
