Low US$ Interest rate = Low Interest Payment, High = Bankrupt

Snapshot Summary
-------------------------
Gold : demand vs rate
. In the world where fiat currency is meaningless , Gold is the
. Safety valve.
. A store of transition value till fiat currency stabilizes.
. End of the day, gold is transactionally clumsy
. But in the mean time it's a safety valve or overflow tank.
. While demand for Gold may be real and practical in times like this
. It itself is subject to speculative money .
. The very anti thesis that it tries to stabilize.
. So maybe Gold will also go back to US$ peg.
. At a fair value, stabilized , not subject to speculative money
. The very thing that government is trying to fight.

US & Benanke's Dilemma
----------------------------------
. US is balancing low interest rate and inflation.
. Raising interest rate will raise interest payment which potentially bankrupt it literally.
. While not doing it will just let inflation erode it's asset value.
. Its a matter of tike before inflation sets in.
. Fed thinks it has a window till 2013 to get its house in order.
. Where the public-private infrastructure projects kicks in.
. While it trues to drum up economic activity in Africa, MENA, Indonesia
. While also containing Iran and forcing it to abide by OPEC policy.
. And concurrently reduce it's defense budget.

Double Trouble : Monster Financial Fraternity & EuroZone dilemma

Snapshot Summary
-------------------------
. Eurozone is like an expensive experiment that has become a dilemma.
. Too expensive to fail. Too massive to discontinue.
. But failed to work.
. At the same time, the power of banking fraternity which has become a uncontrollable monster
created by the same government's neo liberalist policies the past 2 decades, is creating havoc
the governments are finding it difficult to rein in although it might have some success.
. if Soros liquidating of his hedge fund is anything to go by.
. Through Basel III and decreasing of Liquidity in the market
. Through the raising of interest rates iand bank's capital ratios.
. China has been the most aggressive of all.

. Eurozone is like members of a tug of war team
. Mixed of strong and weak.
. Each tied to one another.
. Sharing the same fate
. Now the weaker members are fatigue and exhausted.
. The strongest, like Germany has to bear the responsibility.
. But a Germany is thinking why should we ?
. It will also weakened and taxed Germany financial resources.
. If that happens, and Germany takes up the leadership role
. As France is facing its own problems.
. That would mean, Germany becomes the Big Brother of Europe.
. Just as the Austrian Soros a financial speculator wants.
. EuroZone members will then be subjugated to Germany.
. And Germany is subjugated to the global mega financial institutions that it tries to control.
. Which just maybe as a speculation, EuroZone then is subjugated to UK financial elites.

How then will that affect Euro ?
