The State of the Deep State

That's good analysis. It is helpful to plot costs and prices (and even production figures) on a logarithmic scale as it shows these trends more clearly; each doubling is the same amount. Thanks

If you follow the markets and, more importantly, the information about the plunge protection team and the exchange stabilization fund, you will discover that, surprise, surprise, the PM markets are rigged!!  I know, it's shocking… so, if that  is true, (I believe it is) and they have done so to protect the dollar ponzi scheme, then it stands to reason that we will see a dramatic rally when the dollar collapses (for reasons I cannot get into here) and there is no more reason to suppress PM prices.http://www.gata.org/node/13425
