Dollar Down - Gold & Silver Up - Foreclosures Up - GDXJ

Regardless of the markets, we rest assured that King Jesus is in control and working to bring all nations under His feet. He is out to conquer and conquering for the glory of His Father. Eventually, all nations will be ruling using His law-word as the basis for all governmental activity and national laws. That will be a glorious time! We should all work to the end of applying His law to every aspect of our lives. A Christian world and life view is the only way to permanent peace.


The precious metals market is heating up.  News is spreading. We are deep into the second phase and may be into the third phase sooner than expected. The boyz have not been as active in capping this time. Perhaps, they see the demand is very strong. Beware, they can act. After all, they have almost unlimited access to new dollars.


Swiss Franc is 0.9985. That is very close to par against the dollar. Shows that the dollar is losing much of its purchasing power. Even the Euro is above 1.31 against the dollar. Doesn't it make you very happy to be so involved in dollars? NOT! I would go to gold, silver, and miners.

Bob Chapman believes the world is headed for a single governing structure where gold and silver are commonly traded currencies. Gold report interview. I believe this is true, because the dollar and all paper currencies have lost purchasing power over time. It is only the intervention by governments and bullion banks which has kept a lid on the true currency value of the metals. HERE.
