Goldrunner: These Fundamental Charts Say “Gold Is Getting Ready to Run!”

The U.S. Dollar is being very aggressively devalued in a parabolic…[manner] as we enter the final stage in the paper currency cycle. The government needs Gold to go vastly higher so the budget can be balanced after all of the paper promise debts are added to the balance sheet. Interestingly, Michael Belkin, arguably one of the best analysts in the world, expects earnings for companies to plunge this year causing the DJIA to crater about 30%.  This fits with the kind of correction in the now high flying DJIA that we have discussed per the late 70’s charts where Gold and the Dow would meet between 10,000 and 12.000.

Goldrunner goes on to say in further edited excerpts:

The 1970s, like today, was a period of deep recession made more palatable as “rolling recession” over time.  The Fed’s response was to aggressively print dollars via the banking loan multiplier system. This resulted in Gold ripping higher and then the economy later recovered after Gold rose to balance the U.S. budget into 1980.

Total Federal Spending Outpacing growth in Median Household Income

The chart below shows that:

1)      The Federal government spent more aggressively after coming out of the 70’s recession based largely on increased government tax revenues in devalued dollars.

2)      Once the markets and economy started to run out of “devalued dollar and falling interest rate juice” into the late 90s/ 2000, the Fed responded once again with aggressive dollar printing via the loan multiplier banking system from around 2002 into 2007 devaluing the dollar aggressively to inflate the economy and markets till they “blew the loan multiplier system out.”  That ushered in the “deflation scare” into the 4th quarter of 2008 seen as a flat spot on the Total Federal Spending red line.

3)      Immediately in late 2008 the Fed turned to the crack cocaine of outright debt monetization – dollar printing/inflation.  From the flat spot on the red line, the debt monetization form of dollar inflation allowed the Total Federal Spending to rip upward at a higher slope than the aggressive dollar inflation via the bank loan multiplier system afforded from around 2002 to 2007.

4)      The gap widened dramatically between Total Federal Spending and Median Household Income that generates tax revenues and has been filled by newly printed dollars by the Fed as the U.S. monetizes debt – the increase in spending above tax revenues.  Recently, an article stated that over 70% of federal government spending is being generated by newly printed dollars by the Federal Reserve.  This is debt monetization and default on debt….

5)        All of the newly printed dollars are being spent to fill holes in the U.S. balance sheet to pay things that were never funded, or to keep people afloat, or whatever.  Much of it is interest expense on the huge federal government debts that are going parabolic because you have to create debt to create dollars.  Per the late 70s comparison, the U.S. dollar will need to be devalued ~ another 70%, or so You won’t see it in the US Dollar Index, however, since it is a ratio chart compared to the currencies of other countries who will also devalue their currencies around the same amount.  Thus we see both the Euro Index and the USD Index oscillate sideways while all of the paper currencies are devalued against Gold.

 

 

[Incidentally, it is interesting to note that] the DJIA Stocks eventually rose about 10 times in price following the last 2 major US dollar devaluations – the early 30s and the late 70s – as earnings and dividends returned; boosted by the effect of cheaper dollars. We can probably expect the same to play out this time around.  Thus, after Gold rises to balance the budget/ devalue the debt, the inflationary effects will probably cause a similar rise for the DJIA over the following 10 years, or so, maybe up to around 140,000.

Federal Tax Receipts Failing to Keep Up With Federal Spending

The chart below shows that Federal Tax Receipts (blue line) are indeed failing to keep up with Federal Spending (red line) with the gap being closed by dollar printing via debt monetization.

 

 

Gold Price vs. Central Bank Balance Sheet

The third chart below shows the price of Gold plotted alongside the combined Total Central Bank (CB) Assets of various countries.  Thus, the price of Gold in dollars is effectively an imperfect mirror image of Total CB Assets.  The Total CB Assets simply reflect the amount of total paper currency printing world-wide.  This makes sense since the supply of Gold is finite world-wide.

 

 

(Do you see any evidence in the above chart that the short-term paper gold shorting is affecting this chart?  No, of course not. Paper Gold can only be used to manage the price of Gold in the short-term, but the massive buying of Gold will always win out.  The central banks need Gold much higher, or they would not have come in during this correction to accumulate massive amounts.  Do you remember the old adage “Don’t fight the Fed?  The Fed front runs it own actions.  Do you think the heavy Gold buying by the Fed indicates that their actions will take Gold much higher?  Of course it does – they aren’t stupid.)

We can see on the chart that the green line representing total CB Assets has turned sharply higher while the price of Gold is moving sideways.  Look how total CB Assets turned higher in 2007 as the price of Gold moved sideways, just before Gold ripped higher.  In 2007 the increase in CB Assets was primarily the Fed Reserve buying the junk derivatives from the banks at the “begging bowl” and today, that has been going on in Europe. The bottom line in the short run, however, is that the sharp turn higher in CB Assets/paper currency printing will soon reflect paper currency devaluation world-wide that will ignite the price of Gold sharply higher like at the same point in the cycle in 1979. 

Conclusion

We have reached the point where many countries are monetizing debt to pay their bills.  This will only get worse as the various countries are forced to monetize more debt to cover unfunded liabilities to get them on their balance sheet before Gold goes completely parabolic in order to devalue those debts.

4. The USD & U.S. Dollar Index – What Affect Are They Having On the Price of Gold?

Gold-bars-on-100-and-50-dollar-bill

The U.S. Dollar Index is made up of a basket of [6] currencies that are, themselves, not static and, indeed, are involved in various forms of debasement as nations have taken the view that a weaker currency will boost their exports. As each nation enacts such policies, the result is gridlock, as every action taken to weaken one’s currency is neutralized by a similar action taken by the competing currencies. That is currently what is happening with the constituents of the U.S. Dollar Index and why, as such, the U.S. dollar has not weakened. [Given the fact that] gold tends to have an inverse relationship with the dollar, and has increased when the value of the dollar has declined, we could, as a result, continue to see a capping in the advance of gold prices, at least in dollar terms.

I expect the eventual endgame to this whole Keynesian  monetary experiment that has been going on ever since World War II [will] finally terminate in a global currency crisis. [That being said,] I’m starting to wonder if we aren’t seeing the first domino – the Japanese yen – start to topple…[It has] cut through not only the 2012 yearly cycle low, but also  the 2011 yearly cycle low and never even blinked [and should it continue its steep decline] and break through the 2010 yearly cycle low [of 105.66] I think we have a serious currency crisis on our hands. Needless to say, if the world sees a  major currency collapse… it’s going to spark a panic for  protection – to gold and silver. Wouldn’t it be fitting that at a time  when they are completely loathed by the market they are about to become most cherished?

6. Peter Schiff: The Federal Reserve is Now 100% Committed to the Destruction of the Dollar

economic-collapse

In order to generate phony economic growth and to “pay” our country’s debts in the most dishonest manner possible, the Federal Reserve is 100% committed to the destruction of the dollar. Anyone with wealth in the U.S. dollar should be concerned that economic leadership is firmly in the hands of irresponsible bureaucrats who are committed to an ivory tower version of reality that bears no resemblance to the world as it really is. By upping the ante once again in its gamble to revive the lethargic economy through monetary action, the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee is now compelling the rest of us to buy into a game that we may not be able to afford.  Words: 1410

Each unit of currency is losing purchasing power at an increasing rate. The trend points to a worldwide currency collapse unless the creation of money stops. [Take a look!]. Words: 282

The price of gold, on a quarterly basis, is 86% correlated – yes, 86%! – to total government debt going back to 1975… and a shocking 98% over the past 15 years!
