Little Doubt! $3,500 Gold Price, A Minimum

Posted by Dominique de Kevelioc de Bailleul on Sep 17, 2012

To the ‘man on the street’, a price target of gold $3,500 must sound to him like the typical hyperbole of gold peddlers. It must; sentiment of the gold-market-ignorant American public of the future price of gold still remains low.

As Bill Murphy’s GATA has said, “They don’t even know how to spell gold.”

That’s because the public really has to see the effects of the Fed‘s QEs. In fact, a relatively few Americans haven’t an idea what so-called ‘quantitative easing’ truly means to him, personally, just as few understood similar Fed monetary practices orchestrated by Arthur Burns and William Miller during the inflation-roaring ’70s. But he sure will see how inflation is eroding his lifestyle in the coming months—starting with a much higher oil price, and his coincidental savior, gold.

But something convenient for the monetary ‘authorities’ just happened.

A day before Bernanke pulls the trigger on indefinite purchases of mortgage-back debt, anti-American sentiment suddenly flares up in the Middle East and North Africa.

Coincidental?

The thinking behind the “there’s no such thing as a conicidence” may be driven by the assumption that Bernanke and his handlers knew that during the aftermath of the collapse of Lehman, AIG and the rest, the talking point, that the threat of another dip in the housing market will lead the U.S. economy into ‘deflation’ can only be told for so long. Bernanke knew that food and energy prices are poised to soar faster than these dollar-sensitive ‘things’ rose during the 1970s.

Thinking that the Fed believes its own BS regarding the living costs of the average American reveals profound ignorance of the Fed’s real mandate, especially at this late stage of the Kondratiev debt cycle. That mandate is: to protect its member banks.

And protected they will be. With the Fed coming in at the last moment to cope with the mess at JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley, the effects of an addition of $1.3 trillion (estimated by the close of calendar year 2013) expansion of the central bank’s balance sheet in the coming months will necessitate a new mantra from the Fed and MSM to now explain rapidly increasing food and energy prices during a global recession.
