The Weekly Perspective with David Morgan 08.12.17

What's keeping the Italian Government's debt from blowing up. Banks have been dumping the debt, nearly 20 percent recently. Who will be the buyer of last resort when the US's debt starts unraveling. David believes it's a precursor to what's actually happening. When debt goes everything else will too. The Pentagon stated that it's ready to attack North Korea on a moment's notice if need be. All wars are bankers' wars. Is the another WMD situation. Looks like we're marching towards a pre-emptive strike sooner or later. Talk of war is good for business, especially the defense industry. Crypto-currencies are being pre-empted by the powers that be. Fear and loathing in Crypto-Land. Cryptos are all the rage. There's a lot of scams out there and there's a lot of money being made. Gold and silver were well up for the week. Largest hedge funds are bullish on pm's due to the current geo-pol situation and the stock market appears to be toppy. Silver has been outperforming gold. That's a very reliable indicator. We'll see if it's sustainable or not. Let's see what happens. A pretty decent rally. War drums have been driving the market. Mish Shedlock says one should own 10-25% of one's assets in pm's right now. Mining stocks are looking good. Margins increased on Gold, Silver and Copper by CME. We see this quite often when the metals start going up, they're quick to raise margins.
