In this updated piece, Don spoke to the staggering growth of the U.S. monetary base, indicating that when monetary velocity regains its speed, a “nightmare scenario” could unfold, with gold to money supply ratios exploding from levels, “so far [below] any all-time lows, so as to [defy] the description.”
Here is a highlighted segment taken from Don’s 30 min. commentary:
“What Ben Bernanke explained in a series of lectures last year, was the core of his strategy; A dramatic expansion of the U.S. monetary base, which shocked conservative republicans and…contributing to the big rally in gold. In his view, he had to do it to prevent a new depression. And he did that. But then he stayed with it, and his objective was to raise the value of the price of assets—he never mentioned gold of course. And he succeeded in the stock market, probably beyond his dreams.”
“At some stage there will be a transmission mechanism to move money from the fed’s monetary base, which is exploding at [a] 40% rate, and it will work it’s way into the money supply growth. Now that has to happen through what’s called a multiplier effect in the banking system, where banks create money by granting loans. That of course has not happened up until now, but there are signs that it’s emerging. And that is the big reason why the U.S. economy is doing better than most of the other big economies, because there is growth in lending in the U.S. banking system.”

ESI peaked last July at $65 and lost more than 80% of its value from
there. The stock seems to be forming a base over the last (6) months all
the while hitting a very important level of resistance at $20 (red). No
matter what the market has or has not done since December, ESI has not
been able to break through that area of resistance. If the stock can
finally move above $20, higher prices for the stock should follow.
