<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C Jay, post: 582554, member: 13184&quot;]&quot;Never assume malice where incompetence adequately explains the situation.&quot; Napoleon</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Are there powerful groups pushing for their self interest.&nbsp; Yes, bankers, lawyers, pharmaceuticals, teachers, cops, even coin collectors.&nbsp; Is anyone truly in charge. Nope.&nbsp; Each group tries to influence there own little area, but there are varying interest within the group itself.&nbsp; Who created the Fed? The bankers.&nbsp; Who owns the Fed? The 200 (and declining) member banks.&nbsp; How much a share? 3% of your deposits.&nbsp; How can I become a member bank? Open up branches coast to coast, all national banks must be a member, or have a really large state bank and submit an application.&nbsp; Can I sell my share to some monarch?&nbsp; No, shares can not be sold and must be held, it implies ownership.&nbsp; Can I have Bernakie&#039;s job?&nbsp; Only if appointed by the president and ratified by congress.&nbsp; Also, you have to be a regional Governor first, also appointed.&nbsp; Will I be audited?&nbsp; Annually by GAO.</p><p>Of course I did get this off a government web site.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Back on topic.&nbsp; I think gold will remain stable at it&#039;s current level with the economy in stall.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think hyperinflation is an issue since the bankers are using all that cash to fill potholes in their spreadsheets.&nbsp; If we somehow stumble into another get rich quick scheme and the economy goes charging off in that direction, I think someone at the Fed will remember where the shredders are.&nbsp; My only concern is China and the trade debt.&nbsp; Right now China has been spending their greenbacks on increasing their gold reserve (600 tons in 2006 to over 1000 tons today).&nbsp; Buying mining companies and oil fields.&nbsp; We are buying up basket cases.&nbsp; If they pull out of US treasuries, the dollar will look awfully weak and gold will look awfully good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
