Primarily my personal trading journal and thoughts/analysis on the financial markets (forex, futures, precious metals, inflation, stocks, economy, computerized trading strategies). I am not a registered investment adviser, and do not offer buy and sell recommendations of any given securities or asset classes. Please read disclaimer below at bottom of left panel.

Video Description
Matt Taibbi, the Rolling Stone reporter who coined the term "Vampire Squid" in reference to the infamous investment bank Goldman Sachs, breaks down how LIBOR rates were illegally rigged by big banks, and what the consequences to the public are for this criminal behavior.
See the following articles by Matt Taibbi for additional information on the LIBOR rate fixing scandal:
If it can happen to financial and geopolitical trends expert Gerald Celente who has been trading gold (taking physical delivery of futures contracts) since 1978 it can happen to you. Here is what happened. Mr. Celente was trading gold futures in order to take physical delivery on the December contract from his Lind-Waldock account. He did not realize Lind-Waldock had been bought out by the now bankrupt MF Global, headed by ex-New Jersey governor and Goldman Sachs CEO Jon Corzine, until Corzine resigned due to the scandal. MF Global was taken down by bad bets it made in Eurozone investments. The Eurozone is crumbling. Gerald Celente can not get his money (six figures) now. 150,000 people are in a similar situation per Celente. This highlights bankster fraud/theft and the danger of trading in paper derivatives. MF Global was supposed to segregate customer accounts from their own trading accounts which apparently they did not do.

Don't you love when you flip on FOX or CNBC and they have two charlatans, each with their own little screen explaining how stupid you are and how they alone understand
what is presently going on in the economy. Charlatan A insists we need
to cut all spending to curb the deficit and national debt or we will
have "Hyperinflation" followed by charlatan B refuting that by insisting
we need more economic "stimulus" packages or we will slip into a
deflationary depression.
Let me be clear, charlatan A is absolutely full of shit and charlatan B is only giving you a fraction of
the truth. Most likely because they themselves (Despite their Ivy
League Degrees) have no idea what the hell they are talking about.
One of my favorite trading movies of all time is "Trading Places" which stars Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. The movie was produced by Aaron Russo, who also produced "Aaron Russo's Mad As Hell" and "America: Freedom to Fascism". Aaron Russo was also well known for his activism within the 9/11 truth movement, founding the Constitution Party and running for the governorship of Nevada in 1998 (which he lost), as well as having been one of the Libertarian Party presidential nominees in 2004.
If you still think that Osama bin Laden was the "mastermind" of the 9/11 attacks as is the common myth, it is especially important that you watch the following seminal interview of Aaron Russo by Infowars radio talk show host Alex Jones titled Aaron Russo: Reflections and Warnings. In this interview Aaron Russo discloses confidential information told to him by Nicholas Rockefeller, whom he had formed a close friendship with (before he knew he was essentially dancing with the devil). The charming Darth Rockefeller luckily was not able to turn Mr. Russo over to the dark side of the banking cartel. Aaron Russo's conscience and lack of psychopathic tendencies prevented him from selling out the human race for tempting business deals.
Hint: If you are short on time scroll to 25 minutes 50 seconds in to the interview, which is the spot where the bombshell is dropped.
Aaron Russo, who has since passed away from bladder cancer (RIP August 24, 2007), founded "Restore the Republic" which is now headed by his good friend Gary Franchi. Membership to the RTR.org social network is free and you get a good dose of truth and real news.
My best wishes and prayers go out to the friends and family members of 9/11 victims, the first responders (who have been excluded from the 10th anniversary ceremony this year and denied proper healthcare for a decade, as well as being subject to being screened against an FBI terrorist watch list before being eligible to receive healthcare under the 9/11 health bill), 9/11 whistle-blowers like Aaron Russo (many of whom have died mysterious deaths), 9/11 truth activists (including of course Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth) and all of the soldiers who volunteered to serve their country after the 9/11 attack. Unfortunately, our soldiers were lied to and told that they would be going overseas to prevent a WMD attack, fight terrorism and spread democracy [by toppling Saddam]. In reality war profiteering, stealing/controlling natural resources and imperialism have almost always been the true historical motivations for waging war. Pat Tillman realized what was really going on and sent letters home stating his intent to go public [with the fact that our troops have been ordered to guard, and even help produce and store the opium of Afghan warlords]. Many believe Mr. Tillman was murdered for this reason, although officially his death has been classified as a fratricide (friendly fire).
