My last offering today is a new interview with Jim Rickards that Eric King over at King World News sent me early yesterday morning. It also ended up as a GATA dispatch... and I'll steal Chris Powell's intro... because at this hour, I'm just too tired to write one myself... "Market analyst" is beginning to seem too pedestrian a description for James G. Rickards, senior managing director for market intelligence at the Virginia research firm, Omnis... who, today, is back for another interview with Eric King at King World News. Maybe "planetary observer" will do for this one, in which Rickards foresees more fantastic money creation by central banks... and then the International Monetary Fund via Special Drawing Rights... before market conditions force the imposition of some sort of gold backing for currencies. It's a long interview, dear reader, but certainly falls into the must listen category... and the link is here.
