"HSL...your safe haven currency"
Dear family, What’s the “reason”
Big
Picture
for this seemingly random
monetary mess that multiplies its momentum every
day? The answer in one word: control. The elite/insiders/
Illuminati already had mega-control of much of the financial system, but they wanted more. Much more!
And it was/is not random. It was/is planned. They
want to cut down those who didn’t wish to play their insider game (eg, Bear Stearns). They also want to reduce
the world’s non-elite millionaires by about 80% (that includes many of U, dear readers). And smash the middle
class. They want the Amero to replace the US$ if they
can pull it off. They want the US Fed (a private company,
not part of govt!) to control all financial levers. They want
new regulations that will sound like bringing stability, but
will, in fact, hand them the keys to the vault.
Will their Master Race plan succeed? So far, yes. But
it may spin out of their control, due partly to derivatives,
which are without a market & are non-transparent
(thanks to cover-up-Greenspan, their wicked poodle). And
also, due to the mercury-like momentum that builds with
any imploding or exploding system. •• Bob Chapman
(international_forecaster@yahoo.com) thinks that public
pain may
cause a
firestorm
backlash,
even
a
revolution.
He warns
the Illuminati
to
prepare
for
the
gallows. Says the “media morons will be tarred & feathered.” Strong talk, but these are unprecedented times-unless U go back to 1719 (which is justified IMO) for a
similar situation. Study this history of John Law, the
Frenchman who created the greatest boom ever, which
gave way to the greatest bust ever. (see FinancialTimes
3/7/08: How the French invented subprime in 1719).
The similarities are incredible, uncanny. It almost destroyed the country; set it back 80yrs,
80yrs which gave England the financial edge (a la China today?).
The Illuminati have studied John Law, are destroying
the old system to make room for a new one they will control totally, from the US (where they own the politicians),
but with powerful Euro bank links. BC says “all major
banks will probably go under.” •••• Lawsuits by the
thousands are underway (not publicized; a press blackout!) against banks, insurers, lenders, etc, & may prove to
be landmines the elite won’t be able to side-step though
some suits will help their evil cause. There’s a price to
pay for being a grotesquely litigious society. Lawyers will

good friend Hugh Hendry, Eclectica Asset Mgt, UK, who says “financial stocks have

U & I can’t avoid shrinkage but we can try to structure
ourselves to shrink less,
less so that relative to the herd, we
largely hold our position. This involves fleet-footed currency, metals & govt bond positions, plus moving out of hirisk banks, countries, etc. It will, over 10yrs, involve moving in&out of investments, as price action will be very dramatic. Buy&hold will not work in any area, including gold.
Everyone (!) thinks China will be our economic savior.
I’m doubting the Chinastory now. Its stock mkt “Freedom was given to humanity by

changed in China. Their investors are swimming in red
(communist) ink. Economies follow stk mkts, in due
course. Japan’s stk mkt is an ongoing disaster, yr after
yr, in a deflationary recession. Graham Dyer’s newsletter
(www.depression2007.com) reckons 1990 may have
been the start of a world depression with Japan the firstone-in & to be the first-one-out, in the distant future. Yen
the best currency, says GD.
If China unravels (or just shrinks, reflecting worldtrade
reduction), all commodity prices will stop rising, overnight. GD says the mood has changed & mkts move with
moods not fundamentals. George Soros agrees. Housing
bubbles are now bursting
bursting around the world with some
forecasts of 50-80% drops ahead. Ireland & Spain the
worst; Oz, in denial, coming soon. India? Its mkt has
dropped 25%. GD reminds us that the world has seen 75
yrs of growth, from 1932, & “it’s over now.” That fits my
Shrink theme. 800800-year commodity charts look like starting a down cycle, 1260-2008. CNBC & Bloomberg will
evolve into sport/fashion channels. ☺ Stk mkts will revert
to being unloved, as in past downcycles, for a decade or
two. Maria Bartiromo & Bob Pisani will job hunt.
Most of us have been expecting the current stagflation
to intermingle with simultaneous heavy inflation. But
there are growing signs that deflation is very possibly the
stronger force, which feeds on falling housing, corp profits, stocks, bankruptcies, wages, defaults, & disappearing
credit. If China slides, that’s deflation all by itself. Increasing money supply has perhaps not been enough, in real
terms. Inflation spikes have been weaker since 1940;
1970 being the last weaker spike. I’ll be watching this
like a chicken hawk for U & myself. The flip,
flip from in- to
de-, if it comes, could be overnight in some key advance
notice areas. Meantime, listen for mood swings & tell me
what U hear. Many ears are better than 2 ☺.
PS: FT pg 1 headline 3/26: Hoarding by banks stokes
fear on crisis
crisis. Banks are not lending; fear loans won’t be
repaid & are hoarding cash as may need it themselves for
balance sheets. •••• Iceland raises int.rates to 15%.
Peek at future? •••• Moody’s has warned it may downgrade US govt bonds, notes, bills. That would force interest rates higher even if Fed lowers rates. But, will Moody’s
be allowed to be honest? I doubt it. Unless the Illuminati
want to destroy the US bond mkt? •••• The 1998
merger that created Citigroup was a mistake, says exchief. Reed unsure if the model or management were to
blame, but it turned out to be a “sad story.” Citi’s shares
lost over ½ their value in past year. As U know, I say most
mergers are bad news for the public, benefit only fatcat
directors & CEO’s with stock options. Big is bad, as a rule.
Who’s next to split or fall? HSBC, B of A? Merrill? All big
banks have taken writedown hits, all overexpanded. Stock
buybacks are also super stupid, as corps now scramble to
raise cash they gave away via buybacks. All these things
I’ve attacked for years are being validated. ••••
Cambridge University says a global banking crisis would
kill tens of thousands from heart attacks brought on by
stress (of loss) & anxiety. IMO, dear reader, U can reduce
this health/financial stress if U follow 3 basic rules: exit
the US$, hold half assets in gold, half in 2-yr Swiss govt
bonds. Are there rules forever? Nothing is, but they’ll do
for the foreseeable future. •••• FT columnist Tony
Jackson found a great label for the monetary mess that
ties in with my Shrink theme. He says: brace yourself for

Unwind. He says “most of world’s fund mgrs

guilty-not Liechtenstein
High
tax
rates
(press release 2/08 IILA)
“This multi-govt/media attack on bank secrecy in general
& Liechtenstein in particular is wrongly targeted” says
Int’l Investment Letter Asso. chairman Harry Schultz. “It
is not so-called tax havens that are at fault, but taxes
themselves. We should be debating the legitimacy & excessive levels of taxes, not faulting the countries who try
to provide freedom from big brother govt surveillance &
heavy tax burdens that support socialist structures—most
of whose functions can be privatized at far less cost.
“Congressman Ron Paul, candidate for US president,
is showing the way. He wants to close down the Fed &
the tax dept, & 140 global US military bases. That would
make taxes unnecessary, except for modest on-shore
self-defence needs. The principle applies to every nation.
••• “The stupidity of the press/govt attacks on low tax
or no tax nations is that if the OECD elite succeed in disembowelling them, the money will leave Europe & go to
HongKong, Singapore, Dubai, Uruguay & 15 other places.
“Trouble-maker Chancellor Angela Merkel‘s stormtroopers raiding 1,400 homes is punishing the biz men
who provide funds for her govt & keep the German economy running. Chase them away at your peril, Angela!
Many govts have wickedly blurred the line between tax
avoidance & tax evasion, citing all as evasion--guilty regardless. This needs redressing. ••• Also, govts who
encourage & bribe thieves, & traffic in stolen goods (as
with Germany/UK & Liechtenstein) are trying to justify it
in pursuit of too-high tax rates. Yet if citizens bribe & buy
stolen goods they’re punished. Prince Alois said Germany ‘put fiscal interests above the law of the land.’
“The Swiss Banking Asso said German intelligence svc
used Gestapo (Nazi) methods against their own citizens.
Alois said ‘If Germany had a more fair tax system, its citizens would not cheat.’ That’s an int’l truth.
truth ••• 3cheers
for Canada who refused to deal in stolen names of L.
bank clients. A govt can’t demand a standard of behaviour from citizens that it doesn’t practice itself. An irresponsible Irish financeman said he would welcome list
sellers. Hypocrisy, 2-standards, theirs & ours. ••• The
US existed in prosperity for its first 137years with a tax
rate between 0 & 1%. What went wrong? Political lust
for control/power/socialism.”
Peter Hahn, Corporate Finance & Governance, London, says (FT, 2/26) “The state that justifies its immoral

behaviour in pursuit of taxes is a state that can too easily
justify spying on its own people for any disagreeable {eg,
dissent} behaviour. This is governance at its worst’.”
Alex Ciravegna, NewCollegeCapital, London rightly
says (FT 3/11/08) “FT claims tax evasion is a crime. In
many nations it is not, some of whom have been democracies far longer than the UK or US. They believe bank
secrecy is an important freedom that should be protected, making it a crime to breach bank secrecy. The
right to financial privacy is as important as the right to
privacy in our homes, bedrooms, or medical records.”
More important than the names of
Neocons
people affiliated with neoconservatism are the views they adhere to. Here’s a
summary of the general understanding of what US neocons believe: They agree with Trotsky on permanent
revolution, violent as well as intellectual. ••They are for
redrawing the map of the Middle East & are willing to
use force to do so. ••They believe in preemptive war to
achieve desired ends. ••They accept the notion that the
ends justify the means ­ that hard-ball politics is a moral
necessity. ••They express no opposition to the welfare
state. ••They are not bashful about an American empire; instead they strongly endorse it. They believe lying
is necessary for the state to survive. ••They believe a
powerful federal govt is a benefit. ••They believe pertinent facts about how society should be run can only be
held by the elite & withheld from those who do not have
the courage to deal with it. ••They believe neutrality in
foreign affairs is ill-advised. ••They hold Leo Strauss in
high esteem. ••They believe imperialism, if progressive
in nature, is appropriate.
••Using American might to force American ideals on
others is acceptable. Force should not be limited to the
defense of the US. ••9-11 resulted from the lack of foreign entanglements, not from too many. ••They dislike
& despise libertarians (therefore, the same applies to all
strict constitutionalists). ••They endorse attacks on civil
liberties, such as those found in the Patriot Act, as being
necessary. ••They unconditionally support Israel & have
a close alliance with the Likud Party. ­anon. I leave it to
U, dear reader, to pass judgement.
overshoot We all know the arguOlympics
ments about don’t mix athletics
with politics. That was then. This is now. Times change.
China has crossed the threshold of acceptable humanoid
behaviour & we have a golden, perhaps last chance before it’s too late, to stop massive Chinese govt immorality. China has broken too many rules/standards. It’s not
just Tibet (where China now forbids tourists to go, the
only Tibet income). More importantly it’s Darfur, where
China buys oil & ignores int’l pleas to pressure Sudan’s
criminal govt’s racist campaign to wipe out the black
race. Then there’s Taiwan, which China refuses to allow
independence. Now, China was just caught sending arms
to the Hitler clone, Mugabe, in Zimbabwe. China also has
Internet censorship, no free press or human rights for
Chinese citizens. It pollutes the atmosphere, affecting
the world. As the NYT/IHT says: “China doesn’t have a
public relations problem. It has a human rights problem.”
There is already politics in everything--trade, foreign
aid, the UN, treaties, films, etc. Sports don’t deserve a
HSL 665 - 27 APR 08
free pass & have proven unworthy of one through cheating at every level. •••• It’s hard to ever get China in a
corner--to do the right thing. Worse case--Darfur. We
have an opportunity now to put China in a corner she
can’t escape! We must boycott the Olympics & stop buying Chinese goods! Yes, China can sell US bonds, but
they already sold $400mil last week. And they shrink
their $’s value if they oversell. Our economic buying
power is as great as China’s low-price power. For once,
let us do the right thing & force China to do the same.
China’s governor for Tibet said “We will show no
mercy to protestors.” China is not a country. It’s an anticountry. We must stop buying Chinese goods til they feel
the pain & grow up. I’ve lived in China; they don’t understand Western mentality! Proof of that is their attempt to
hire a PR firm to sell their story. But they understand
force. Mao said “political power comes out of the barrel
of a gun.” It also comes from economics. Tis time we
taught them a non-violent lesson, for the good of all mankind. Even a 20% boycott will inflict pain & spank the
very naughty child. Do your boycott-bit, & pass this on.
PS: Some now propose the Olympics be discontinued.
They’ve lost public trust, thanks to steroids, bribes, fraud,
adv, meaningless records, returned medals. Games could
still take place on a different level, in individual separated
sports & places. See IHT 4/16/08 re Stop the Olympics.

China, SriLanka & Spain oppose Kosovo
recognition. Why? Not because it doesn’t
deserve nationhood. But because they fear a similar demand from independence-minded groups in small corners of their own nations. This is pathetic powerhoarding. Just as Pres. Lincoln didn’t want the South to
secede—so he let 618K citizens die for such a nonsense
policy. By the way, if there were a UN in the 1700’s, the
UK would have voted against recognition of its upstart
colony, America. Politicians are hooked on power; will
never give any away, not to a group or an individual.
Russia,
Friend Marshall Langer recently reviewed
Taxes
his life of over 50 years in the offshore
world, in a paper he gave to the Asia Offshore Asso in
HoChiMinh City, Vietnam. It’s of interest to all of us. He
said: “I’ve been involved in the offshore world since the
early 1950’s. It was a comparatively simple world in the
early days. There were corporations, partnerships, trusts
& exotic Liechtenstein entities--the anstalt & the stiftung-used almost exclusively by wealthy Europeans. There
were no CFC (controlled foreign corp) rules. Tax treaties
were still in their infancy; there were not many, & no
meaningful restrictions on using them. There were a few
places like the Bahamas, Bermuda, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Panama & Switzerland serving the market.
It was acceptable to call these places tax havens. Most
of U now call them offshore financial centers. I still call
them tax havens, as the biggest ones are onshore, not offshore. Some of the nations whose politicians complain
the most about tax havens are in fact themselves significant tax havens. No one is surprised when I tell them the
most important tax haven in the world is an island. But,
they’re surprised, when I tell them the island is Manhattan. Also, the world’s 2nd most important tax haven is located on an island; it’s in London. But, here’s a big problem. The US is a tax haven only for foreigners who invest
in the US. Most of its best tax haven attributes don’t work
if U are either a US citizen or US resident. And, Britain is a
tax haven for many of those who move there from abroad,
but not for those whose domicile of origin is the UK.
US tax haven attributes: A US citizen or resident receiving interest from a bank deposit must pay federal
income tax of up to 35% on that income. In most cases,
he also pays state income taxes on that income, increasing the rate to 40% or more. Interest paid him is reported to the IRS annually by every US bank. But a nonresident alien individual or foreign corp pays no US income tax on US bank deposit interest. Except for residents of Canada, interest paid is not reported to the IRS,
so the interest is obviously not reported to other nations
under US tax treaties or tax info exchange agreements
(TIEAs). Interest on US bank deposits held by foreign persons has been effectively exempt from US income tax
since 1921. The bank deposit itself is also exempt from
US federal death tax. Even though the account is not taxable, each deposit in an insured US bank is insured up to
$100,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
The US wants every nation to give it tax info, but US
law does not permit the IRS to give any tax info to a foreign country unless that country has either a tax treaty or
a TIEA with the US. The European Savings Tax Directive
was not supposed to take effect til Switzerland, the US &
a few others agreed to participate. Switzerland & the oth4
ers have done so, but the US has not yet finalized rules
under which it would obtain such info & give it to EU nations. Rules allowing it were proposed in final days of Bill
Clinton’s term. They’ve languished under GW Bush admin
for fear a large part of an estimated $3.5 trillion of foreignheld US bank deposits would flee the US if the rules were
put into effect. That position may be reversed if Hillary
Clinton or Barack Obama becomes president in Jan 2009.
….Part 2 of Langer’s paper will appear in next HSL.
Langer recently moved back to Florida after living in Switzerland & UK for 22 years. He is counsel to Shutts & Bowen, Miami, & author of several books on int’l taxation.

Chick Goslin, who writes a
Advisor
friend
daily mkt advisory via the
Net, has told his clients he will probably shut down the
service. The huge time it takes to analyse & write it in
these intense, fast moving & troubled mkt times makes it
impossible to properly trade his own portfolio & manage
assets. I have a similar problem. Ivory Tower advisors who
are not active daily in mkts may have time to spare, but
I’ve been active daily in mkts for most of the last 42yrs,
managing the HSL portfolio & my own. And that, dear
reader, demands increasingly more time. With banks,
brokers & lenders crashing/writedowns or closing, time
demands have increased 10-fold. I’m not going to stop
writing HSL, like Chick, but I must find time somewhere.
One option is that I will from now stop accepting any new
private consultations, at least for the foreseeable future.
They swallow hours in preparations, qualifying, payment
& fulfilment. Another time saver is to stop replying to

We needed a cultural breath of air so went to
Trek
Paris for a long visit. It was exciting to be on
the crowded Champs d'Elysée as the Chinese Olympics
torch was about to appear. Except for pockets of Chinese
students, the crowd was unanimously anxious to let
China know they’re pro-free Tibet & not amused by Chinese pussyfooting in Sudan (Darfur) or supporting the
Burmese regime, etc! U no doubt saw the demonstrations on TV. Paris & London were the world hot spots for
Olympic protests. •••• Revisited The Lido with visitors
Linda & Martin. It’s what one does with visitors in Paris!
It’s still the greatest stage show in the world.
Also zipped to Deauville on the Channel Coast on a
rainy Easter weekend with friends Karen & Scott. Went
to the beach where I ran into Yul Brunner (The King & I)
in the 80’s, & talked about our mutual interests in London. His interest was Bianca Jagger, my next-door
neighbour then. Deauville was jammed & I caught a bad
cold. But it’s a beautiful place, heavily built up since my
last visit. Spotted a 1912 newspaper on a hotel wall; related to war cycles & was eerie vs where we are today.
Will tell U about it another time. •••• Also spent time
in Switzerland. A BBC News report claims the Swiss are
“the happiest people.” It rubbed off on me. ☺ •• The
snow-capped Alps are as beautiful as ever.

Politics
fascinated the US public & the
ROW (rest of world). But half way thru the Pennsylvania
roadshow, the public finally got fed up. Said the IHT:
“Enough already.” (They suggested Hillary drop out as
she can’t win the nomination & more bloodletting is
hurting the party). The system isn’t smart, with quaint
rules in each state. The Democrats are eating their
young, fouling their nest, while the GOP is ending up
with the least popular man in the original list. Eg, columnist Thomas Sowell says: "Senator John McCain
could never convince me to vote for him. Only Hillary
Clinton or Barack Obama can cause me to vote for
McCain." In other words, there is no good choice now,
with some of the best men squeezed out by the insane

cost of running & the clumsily framed, unfair time quotas, unbalanced debates.
What a pity that men of real caliber rarely run for office. Like Jack Welch, ex CEO of GE. But men of quality
don’t run for high office anymore, as they did in the days
of the founding fathers. Power thirst has corrupted the
system. Today the only candidate most agree has both
integrity & unique ideas to make “root canal” changes,
isn’t winning. Why? A study belatedly shows the reason
Ron Paul isn’t among top ratings is “because the mainstream media marginalized him AT THE START as a
‘fringe’ candidate who didn’t have a chance of winning.
That perception without doubt caused many who liked
Paul best, including many of his own constituency, to
vote for their 2nd choice for president.”
IMO, pro-Paul principled people should vote for him
in the remaining contests, regardless! In Pennsylvania
he took 16% of the vote! Huckabee 11%, McCain 73%-which shows McCain’s relative unpopularity. 27% ignored McCain despite his being the destined choice.
The Illuminati-owned press didn’t like Paul’s advocacy
of closing down the (unconstitutional) Fed & the IRS.
••• Author Lew Rockwell says “Cancel the elections!
We don’t need the govt, & certainly not the govt we
have.” I agree, as the only real option (RP) was framed,
blackballed, marginalized, by the media. •••• Many
hope Mitt Romney, who is honourable & financially competent, will be the GOP vice presidential candidate. It
would shore up the wobbly McCain ticket.
Alternatively, what a country-saving shock it would be
if Romney’s delegates voted for Ron Paul at the convention! •• Many people voted for RP, not expecting a win,
but to alter public perspective on critical issues that so
far have not been debated or even mentioned in any of
the feeble debates, except by RP in the 90 seconds they
gave him. •••• CNN Satirist Jon Stewart said
“Republicans hate vast govt power---unless they have it.
The Democrats advocate govt power while praising democracy—which is a contradiction.” ••• Just for the record, the Bill Clinton “surplus” was not a surplus, but a
theft achieved by taking money from the Social Security
trust fund, which is now stuffed with IOU’s. Also, just for
the record, the Bush Iraq “surge” was not successful as
W claims; it only seemed so because El Sadr pulled his
majority militia fighters off the streets. These illusions
are part of the crummy world of politics. ••••
With McCain U get Bush-II, 100yrs in Iraq & bombbomb Iran. With Hillary U get “obliterate Iran” plus Whitewater Bill. With Obama (& Hillary) U get much deeper &
deceptive socialism. Hobson’s choice. No choice. As
Rockwell says: cancel the elections. No one is happy.
Or, as Ronald Reagan, my favourite president, said:
"Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close
resemblance to the first." ••••Comic Jay Leno says
"Of course, all the presidential candidates seized on the
pope's visit. And people are speculating which presidential candidate is most like the pope. And it's hard to
say. I mean, you got John McCain, he's the oldest candidate, so he is closest to God. Barack Obama is the elitist. He's holier than thou. And, of course, Hillary who is
married to Bill Clinton, & who has forgiven more sin
than Hillary? How do you pick one?"

Americans (65%) came to the same opinion. The French

permit a referendum on the new revised constitution

perceptions change. Only a couple
months ago the word recession was
avoided like it was a swear-word. Then it was whispered.
Now it’s accepted (by all but W). And as I write this, Sky
TV News announced that if I stay tuned, they’ll tell me
“about the coming depression.” In truth, both were always coming about now, 2008-09. I said so in these
pages in 2004. What changed are not facts, but PP
(Public Perception). U must beware of the hyper-speed of
PP changes. U must not be too certain U are right about
anything in the material world.
How fast
Admittedly, gold comes close to certainty, but even
here, will U stay on board if gold falls from say $1,250 to
500? Will U sell at 500, or will U average down? Will U
know 500 is the bottom? Or will U sell some at $1,200,
not knowing if that is shrewd or wrong? Personally, I’ll
sell & buy back all along the way, forever, the key being
to take profits when I have them (isn’t that the purpose?), and not risk that tomorrow it will drop & start a
$200 correction. But of course, always retaining a
lockup core position that is an anchor, not an investment. Whether that core is 25%, 50% or 75% of your total gold is for your judgment.
But I got off the subject, which is Public Perception in
general. Like today, the TV talking heads (with a gun at
their head or a knife at their back) & their sponsors are
trying to create a PP that: “well, maybe we’ve got a grip
on the credit/bank situation, the stock mkt is rising &
bank stocks are up, so maybe it’s safe to go back in the
water.” (Jaws is patient). Most stk mkt charts look bullish
for a strong, but short tech rally now, which should lure a
lot of Pollyannas back into the water.
tion in Agnico-Eagle & while deciding whether to take the
profit, it dropped to a $7K loss.
That was careless of
me, even though I was preoccupied 24/7 with HSL deadline (which proves another Chick point: that simultaneously writing a mkt advisory & managing your own trading portfolio is difficult or borderline impossible if U are
an active mkt person as Chick & I are).
Chick & I also agree that all mkts have turned too
choppy---dangerous if U nod off or get a tiny bit greedy, or
are complacent (“no rush to decide”). With gold backed
off under $1000, it’s utterly essential to take profits
when U have any, not wait for more. Once over $1000,
that number will turn from resistance to support. But
right now, some of the hedge funds have been selling &
we better listen. Following my own advice in HSL &
GCRU, I hedged my long position with a substantial short
position a few days ago, which is insurance that may return enough profit to make up for my mistake in Agnico.
It’s called “learning” & we’re never too old to. (never end
a sentence with a preposition, unless U R the boss. ☺
PS: in case anyone out there thinks IMF gold sales
(which take years for all members to authorize & complete) ever reaches the open mkt, U would be tricked by
IMF spin. None is sold on the mkt, only to central banks.
Moreover, when U read of any individual CB selling gold,
U should consider it your freedom fighter duty to demand of whatever media report U saw that they find out
& report who BOUGHT the gold. A “sale” is only a halfnews story & thus poor journalism. It is not privileged information, or if it is, then the sale should also be privileged. Don’t let them take U for a fool.
I don’t believe in investment certainties. I’m in for survival, not for super cleverness. Buying & selling & buying
back works! The alternative (buy/hold/hope) is uncertain. U can’t say otherwise! I’ve been trading gold since
1945. Nobody else alive can top that. Don’t be stubborn
or smug. Be as realistic as U can. Compromise. And try
to discern Public Perceptions as they change, but not get
caught up in their net.
Gold
has, as usual, reacted to a US$ rally which
was brought on by central bank (CB) intervention--the US & unrevealed others in the G7. Along with
jawboning. We tracked it on a 5-minute chart on 4/24.
Gold fell sharply at the same moment as $ rose sharply.
It hints that 1 or more insiders knew of the intervention
& sold simultaneously. It’s reminiscent of the same
games all we currency traders played in the 70’s when
the teeter-totter then was the DM (Deutschmark) vs US$.
When DM rose too far, in came 1 or more CB’s, preventing free mkts, interfering with trends‹none of which
worked beyond a few hours/days/4 wks/max 3mos
(usually 2wks), depending how big the intervention &
how many CB’s took part. No govt or elitist believes in
free mkts or free trade.
As we go to press, chart patterns imply the $ rally has
further to go, as does the gold correction (to 850?). See
Back to the Futures section, pg 11, for specific guidelines
on the $ & gold. •••• Mkt advisor Chick Goslin said in
his last issue before shutting up shop: “Concentrate on

Stopress:
topress China to meet Dalai
Lama! China turns back ship
with guns for Mugabe. We got to them
them! It proves int’l
pressure at this point, pre-Olympics, is their Achilles’
Heel, as I said earlier. They must buckle now. But how
much? How real? Not much & not very. So, we must
stick to the game plan: China must do something real or
the boycott goes ahead. China has imposed strings to
their Dalai Lama meet; they want him to call off or cool
the protests, after which they’ll meet. They want a payoff
in advance. No deal! No advance payoff; meet now or
forget it! And publicly promise something now, like religious & cultural freedom. Otherwise, China will give no
ground, as with prior talks. Olympic sponsors are saying:
no boycott! Coca-Cola leads that commercial field. China
should prove good intent by getting Sudan to pull troops
out of Darfur, now! Pre-Olympics!
Bottom line: the West can afford a high pressure boycott showdown with China now over all this--human
rights, Darfur, Tibet, press access, net censorship, etc.
China’s guns-to-Mugabe shows ill will. We won’t be able
to afford it in 4 years, when China’s military & economic
buildup is expanded. Economic cost will hurt both sides,
equally, but both sides would gain if change results.
Western leaders were quick to applaud China’s offer of
Tibet talks & if that means they call off the pressure,
then China has won the Chinese Checkers game. We
need to demand quid pro quo, something real.
Off the Cuff
who bank
Dear fellow puppets: Those
on stopping the
current slide to fascism through a liberal US president are
deluding themselves. Any American president is powerful
ONLY when he’s playing with the consent of most of the
ruling class and the institutions they control. Personal
power deflates rapidly when playing against the values &
consensus of the US power elite. A rogue president would
likely suffer a wave of opposition that would literally bring
him down via impeachment or through a coup orchestrated during a state of tumult, created by capital strikes,
agent provocateurs, & the media.
For about 30 years I ran the only onBankstink
going attack on banks. It was called
Bankstink & readers loved it! Most banks have cheated,
overcharged & mis-managed trust funds forever. Also, customer privacy slid badly. But the extent of chicanery grew
into self-robbery in recent times. It became hari kari with
some. Now banks don’t trust each other (“no honour
among thieves”?), so the circle has been completed. ☺ It is
part of the gradual growing immorality in society at large.
The public is not fooled or amused. Editorial headline in
Financial Times: Saving banking from the bankers. Sub
head: the industry’s mea culpa (admitted guilt) may not prevent a backlash. Indeed. In IHT an editorial headed: Bankers
should also feel the pain. An FT columnist 6-col headline:
Why bankers should make penance this Easter. John
Gapper said: “Bankers are human too. They have families
& if U prick them, they probably bleed. But it is justice for
the perpetrators to suffer.” The public said: hear, hear!
Some good will come of this, with luck. Many banks
did not buy subprime, but most took risks that were borderline. And customer relations have been falling for
years. Let’s hope that improves. Mergers were always
bad for clients, as service suffered & heads rolled with8
out good cause in most cases. Etc. etc.
Most banks (not all) have been so disgraced that they
are already behaving better. Let’s make sure they don’t
backslide into Biblical temple moneychanging bad habits.
The Olympic Committee clearly erred in
Tid
bits
awarding the games to China, just as they
did in giving them to Berlin under Hitler, & for the next
show to London instead of Paris. Committees are defective
by their nature. Henrik R. Clausen of Denmark suggested
the games return to Greece, (the origin of the games &
the cradle of democracy) permanently. Not a bad idea.
Though my preference is to stop the joint 1-city games &
hold separate games in different places, which doesn’t
involve building new cities nor accommodating massive
crowds. Either way, the present system isn’t sporting.

Note 1: Apply our trailing stop strategy to lock in shorterm profits on all positions. Exit at mkt if trends turn sharply against you. Don’t wait for stop levels
to be hit. 1, 2-day close entry or exit levels should be changed to mkt orders
if intraday run-away action develops. Note 2: Where short selling (S/S) is
not possible, use our guidelines to aid U in determining price levels for simply selling, & our S/S stops as buying levels. TPS= Trailing Profit Stop.

NASDAQ – HSLP (HSL MARKET PREDICTOR)
HSLP-Nasdaq is beating shorterm bullish drums via a
reverse H&S base & breakout, with 2955 theoretical upside target -- which hints crucial Nasdaq Mini Nov downtrend line resistance (now 1950 basis June) “will” be
breached to the upside, for a run towards its 2125
equivalent upside target. But, but both targets remain
below top resistance of 10½-month distribution tops.
tops So,
for as long as it lasts, use this potential bear mkt rally
leg to recuperate any lost profits &/or dump any under
performing longs (U may not get another chance), whilst
monitoring for pre-emptive short sales on solid weakness below major resistance levels. OK for gamblers/
active traders to ride shorterm strength in top relative
strength sectors, if protected with tight stops & happy to
scalp/bank
scalp/bank regular profits.
ACTIONS TO TAKE - IN A NUTSHELL
•• Avoid or reduce financial risk/stress via 3 basic
steps; exit the US$ (at mkt &/or into any strength towards 75.80 basis June $-Index), & place half of assets
in 2-year Swiss govt bonds,
bonds half in gold (via a basket of
gold futures &/or gold shares, with at least 15% in
physical gold bars or coins). If U want more diversification than only Swiss Francs, hold a mix of 6-month to
2-year govt paper (euro, A-$, Cad-$) to lock-in current
higher interest rates & hedge against shorterm rate
declines. •• For a comprehensive list of protective
‘Actions To Take’, re-read Big Picture in HSL662, 663 &
664. •• Global stock mkts are generally bearish but
correcting. Sharp rallies poss but duration will likely be
short -- which makes acute stock selection vital. If buying, use HSL specific recommendations with tight
stops. •• Traders looking to increase their holdings of
physical gold bullion, buy bit at mkt, & on every $10
decline toward $800. •• Check out your banks. Are
they holding derivatives? All the big ones are. Upgrade
if in doubt. And US subs = don’t keep over $100K in
any US bank in order to qualify for FDIC insurance if
they fail. •• Modest diversification is your safety net in
uncertain mkts. Please adhere to strict asset allocation
%’s as outlined in HSL Investment Box.

HSL HARRY SCHULTZ LIFE STRATEGIES

3 cheers for California &
Gov.Schwarzenegger for a
law making it illegal for companies to require workers to
have devices implanted under their skin revealing their
whereabouts at all times, the ultimate invasion of privacy. That it was even considered shows just how far
we’ve moved into an Orwellian society. Cell phones will
soon have chips to pay bills, which thus tracks U, without
a skin chip! Don’t succumb!
What could change in the 3 rules I gave U in BigPicture? The Swiss govt could stop selling shorterm bonds
&/or reduce interest to 0% or charge U to own them. Or
the US$ could have a mini bull mkt within its major bear
mkt via mega currency intervention by the G7 nations
(not done since Sept 2000) or Fed interest rates rise. Or
gold could overstretch its rise to make partial selling or
hedging gold an option to avoid a major asset drawdown. So we need to stay awake, but for now, the 3 rules
are OK & needed for security.
More re end of the Internet nextime. Net 1 will be replaced by Net 2, which will be totally censored, with limited access. Stock up on fax machines, ink, fax paper. •••• If a perception grows that the US will raise interest rates soon, watch for modest US$ rise. Depends on
int/rate size. Use it to exit $’s. •••• Hal Turner site reports Dallas oil companies have signed contracts for
$150 oil for end May. Also, that Saudi govt will declare
$150 to be the minimum price at end May. If any truth
here (?) it forecasts a new war within a few weeks!
Commercial real estate is a new worry. •••• US consumer confidence at 26-yr low. This is based on perception
of the future, not horror bad news today, & as I said earlier,
PP (public perception) is vital to track. •••• Future Shock
Dept: A new US Constitution is being drafted by certain insiders. No more Supreme Court, Bill of Rights, trial by jury or
right to bear arms. Senators not elected, but appointed by
govt. President serves 9years. 20 states, not 50. This brings
disorientation, which is another trick in the 1984 manual. •••• I’m told that the fact more Americans are leaving doesn’t worry the Illuminati. They prefer the dissenters
to exit, leaving the placid ones behind who won’t argue.
The essential Bob Chapman letter says “The cull is on.
The elitists have decided which companies can survive.
Most small firms won’t.” The cull will seem economic, not
manipulative, via bank squeezing. I again urge U all subscribe to Bob’s International Forecaster newsletter. It’s
weekly by Email & bi-monthly by mail, so it fills the gaps
between our less-frequent HSL’s. It’s a financial survival

avoid!) at: www.mercola.com/article/aspartame/fraud.
htm. These are the kinds of articles U won’t be allowed
to see when Net 1 goes down. •••• Poor Zimbabwe: so
far from God. So near to Mugabe. The world will not
soon forget how the African Union stuck to their racism.
•••• Subcrime mess: US Comptroller of the Currency

Editorial cartoon of the month: Fed
Potpourri
Reserve board meeting, chairman
says: “All board members in favour of perhaps seeing signs
of maybe a possible recession, or possibly not, or if so, perhaps doing something about it, or not…show of hands
please.” One board member pictured has 2 right hands,
another is a chimpanze, one has a hook for right hand, one
spins a yoyo. A decisive state of Duh. A reality show!

from dog: “Are there any postmen in heaven? If so, do I
have to apologize?” •••• Dear God from me: If a dog

“Having it all doesn’t necessarily mean having it all at

more important time to recommend HSL to a relative or
friend. Or send them a gift subscription. They’ll better understand the world. We don’t advertise; we exist on word of
mouth. Yours? ☺ •••• “Money is not all important. Health

“Uncle Harry.” It’s cute & touching, but confuses the post
office. ☺ •••• Don’t keep things for “special occasions”
because every day U have is a special occasion. If U are

Mother Superior called all the nuns together & said, "I
must tell U all something. We have a case of gonorrhea in

whom to marry? (1) You got to find somebody who likes the
same stuff. Like, if U like sports, she should like it that U like
sports, & she should keep the chips & dip coming.-- Alan, age
10. (2) No person really decides before they grow up who
they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, & U
get to find out later who you're stuck with.-- Kirsten, age 10.
What is the right age to get married? (1) 23 is the best
age because U know the person FOREVER by then.-Camille, age 10.(2) No age is good to get married at. U got
to be a fool to get married.-- Freddie, age 6. (very cynical
for his age)---- How can a stranger tell if 2 people are married? U might have to guess, based on whether they seem
to be yelling at the same kids.-- Derrick, age 8.--- What do U
think your mom & dad have in common? Both don't want
any more kids.-- Lori, age 8.---What
do most people do on a
-date? 1) Dates are for having fun, & people should use
them to get to know each other. Even
boys have something to say if U listen
long enough.Lynnette, age 8. (isn't she
a treasure?) We're lobbing thinkbombs into a Neocon fortress. Bye
