Why Stocks Are Rising

Our economic numbers are growing worse daily. On top of this we have a forthcoming Health Care Plan that will break the back of an already ailing economy. The government is printing more and more money, devaluing the dollar and American's savings along with it.

So why is the stock market going up, when it should be going down?

Printing money causes inflation. More and more dollars chasing a fixed amount of goods and services leads to higher prices. Therefore, if you go through a period of inflation, the worst thing you can own is cash because it becomes worth less. You want to own assets that will protect you against inflation. Gold is one of the simplest and smarted things you can own to protect yourself, and you can bet that those in-the-know are loading up as quickly as possible.

But at the same time, gold is an enemy to the bankster's ability to continue to print money out of thin air, and to keep this confidence game going, they need to prop up the markets to GIVE THE APPREARANCE that everything is okay, and that we are on the road to recovery.

If you can borrow money at prime less 25 or 50 basis points, or essentially for free if you are one of the big U.S. banks that received a bailout, and can put that to work in the market to buy stocks and assets forcing prices up.

This keeps the facade of prosperity alive, the printing presses running and the banksters' pockets bulging. Of course, they know that this is a bubble market built on smoke and mirrors, but you must remember.... it is YOUR money they are investing, not theirs!

How high will this market go? Who knows. But when the bubble bursts, you don't want to be anywhere close to it, and you can bet that the insiders know this and have their personal money in gold.
