Economic Imbalance

For the most part, the other 1% doesn't invest much in Stock Market, Bonds, or precious metals, but we do watch them.  The stock market is manipulated and bonds are government controlled, but when precious metals get out of balance, I know fear and manipulation are contributing to the imbalance.  Whether it's manipulation to cause the fear or fear driving the buying or selling, the love of money and fear are a toxic combination for an economy already in critical condition.

Not to beat this dead horse, but it seems the news of disgraced anchorman, Brian Williams, should alert us all to the fact, we may not be hearing the truth and it may be several years before the actual facts are discovered or made known.  We know the Wall Street fat cats will manipulate and take a raise with taxpayer bailout money.  We also know the reputation of Washington politicians.  The integrity of mainstream media has been questioned years before Mr. Williams gave confirmation to our doubt.

The bottom line is, the dollar is in trouble.  The Federal Reserve has just printed too many.  I did take the time to notice the newer $5, $10, $20, and $50 has an eerie colorization similar to MONOPOLY.  The five has a pinkish background behind the oversized Lincoln face.  The ten is yellowish, the twenty - green, and the fifty has a bluish background in a patriotic motif, but the correlation between currency and game money is oddly recognizable.  With the dollar in trouble, while oil has devalued, is significant.  The OPEC nations can't pump oil like the Feds can run the printing press!

The stock market is absolutely manipulated beyond recognition, so it is rather irrelevant in the equation at this point.  I think we're at the point of paying interest on the interest of national debt and bonds.  I've looked at some real estate, and once again the prices are incongruent with an actual market, while the real estate market seems to be nearly flooded with commercial property . . . That is an indicator that independent businesses are not surviving the so called "recovery."  Precious metals and land are not commensurate in dollar value at this time.

With irregularity amidst the metals as well as inconsistency in real estate, we may discover this "economic recovery" is more political rhetoric and headlines, than actuality and bottom line.
