Nigel Farage: Bankers+politicians = ‘unholy alliance’ vs people

Renowned Eurosceptic and British Euro MP Nigel Farage says saving the banks is why politicians are so determined to bail out Greece and keep it in the Eurozone. To listen to what he has to say please click this link: Euro.

Nigel is correct when talks about throwing good money after bad, right at the outset we were against the bailouts for the Northern Rock, Bank of Scotland and the other poor performers. Liquidity is not a cure for inepotitude or insolvency it is akin to giving a junkie another fix.


Meanwhile over at Reuters we have this snippet on the situation - Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou will name a new cabinet on Friday to muster support for painful economic reforms, despite public unrest and a split in his party that could push the country closer to debt default.

He is likely to jettison Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou, author of a belt-tightening program that has fueled public anger, national strikes and a violent demonstration this week on the steps of parliament.

Should the inverse relationship of the dollar and gold remain intact then we would expect the progress of gold prices to remain some what muted.

We were anticipating a lackluster summer which would give us the time to do some more research as to where the bargains might be found come the fall, however, events may rob us of such a luxury.

Keep a tight grip of your core position as 'trouble' appears to be just around the corner.
