The Darkest Pool | KUNSTLER

``This is the eeriest summer. The coordinated effort to devalue gold -- so as to maintain the sagging reputation of the world's re$erve currency -- has had the effect mainly of funneling it out of weak hands in the west to strong hands in the east, to countries that at one time or another we regarded as adversaries. China and Russia have been backing up their respective trucks at the gold warehouse loading dock, and before too long they will have yuan and rubles with more credibility than the US dollar.''
