Clive Hale: A conspiracy of central bankers

My thanks to the author for his witty discussion, which leads to hard money. Here is the opening, posted without further comment:

It is way past time that we had a collective noun for central bankers? So how about a “conspiracy”? Don’t believe me then read on...

Hey Mario it's the Milky Bar Kid here and I need a bit of help. You see I have been selling chocolate for euros and seem to have accumulated rather a lot of them.

Well Kid I am rather busy right now with the Greek hummus trade warming up a bit and there's also going to be a bit of trouble with the frankfurters in Germany. The Greeks can't pay and the Germans won't pay.

Then of course the whole European economy, which the unelected chocolatiers in Brussels tell us is doing fine, is heading for a deflationary bust. Your defence of the CHF/EUR peg hasn't helped me either and this week I'm supposed to get off my butt and actually practise what I preach by announcing a humongous tranche of QE that will make everything right. And you think you have got problems Kid!

Testimonials

I just want to wish you and your family many happy years in your new abode. My wife and I relocated to the UK from South Africa two years ago so am familiar with the levels of stress involved. Now rapidly approaching my 80th year and being a subscriber on and off since the hard copy days , I really have gained so much from your knowledge and expertise. The Friday videos I find especially useful where your wisdom and understanding brings together so many facets of the markets which I would not have thought of.

Your appreciation of the macro position is unmatched by any of your peers! Coupled with a practical and current assessment of the opportunities currently available it provides me with an invaluable source of information and the strength of the “Chart Library” which I depend on year after year. Thank you. David would have been so proud of how you continue to promote his and your investment philosophies. Keep doing what you do so well although I find it incredible that you can still maintain such a high quality with all your other commitments.

Eoin - I have been a subscriber for just over 30 years, and in that time I can't recall many times when a clear and concise analysis of economic and political conditions was as important as it is today. You are doing a wonderful job at keeping the collective informed, allowing us to see a broader picture than our individual biases might otherwise give us. Thanks so much!

Eoin - I recently renewed my annual subscription (for about the 30th time) and I had to write to tell you that Friday's big picture audi/video was worth the entire amount for the year.
