Snippet:

"The major traditional gold shorts leaving the short side of the gold market makes Rothschild’s decision to quit the London Gold Fix in 2004 rather prescient. They had been a member of the London Gold Fix since 1919 but in 2004 decided they wanted no further part of it. The Rothschild’s are probably the smartest and most well informed of all the investment houses and always keep a low profile. Interestingly AIG also resigned form the London Fix in 2004 but unfortunately for them they didn’t leave the derivatives market also!"

Comment:

With all the fraudulent activities surfacing in the financial markets, is it any wonder that "The Major Powers That Be" are trying to distance themselves. Look for more of the same on both sides over the next two years.

Also, read on one of the news pages this a.m. that the number of projected company bankruptcies anticipated for this coming year, will be the highest since the great depression. These are mainly publicly traded corporations, not "Mom and Pop" operations.

Will let everyone here figure out what these have in common.

Good Luck to all!
