Governments only making the Crisis worse

Governments and central banks have reacted to the crisis in what they view is the correct manner, but, in my view, it is an artificial manner and they are only making the crisis worse. The reason it is stretching out as a problem is that they never let the problem cure itself.

There Are a Lot of Mystics



I own gold and haven’t sold any, we are in a long overdue and much needed correction. The anomaly was that gold had been up 12 years in a row. That’s not normal, typical action. It’s abnormal, which worries me and should worry all the gold bulls. It has now corrected for some 18 to 20 months now. I find that encouraging. I mean, I don’t know, because I'm not a very good market timer, but I do know that most corrections go on long enough to scare a lot of people and scare them out of their positions, and that’s what I would expect to happen. I've had people write to me and say: “gold cannot go down 30%”, and I say: “turn on your computer. It’s there.” There are a lot of mystics that are still true believers. Until it scares a lot of people the correction is not over. I would certainly like the correction to be over this afternoon and see gold go to $2,000 or to $3,000, but that’s not reality. - Jim Rogers via a recent Gold Money interview

The Rothschild Attributed His Success To 2 Things



"It may have been Meyer Rothschild, the German banker and patriarch of the legendary House of Rothschild who, when asked how he got so rich, attributed his success to two things. He said he always bought when there was blood in the streets - panic, chaos - when despondency gripped the markets. (in old man Rothschild case, investing amid the turbulence of the Napoleonic wars, the blood was as likely to be literal as it was to be figurative.) And he always sold "too soon". He did not wait for the enthusiasm to peak. He always knew when to get out, and he got out in time with all his money." - in Adventure Capitalist
