With oil prices fluctuating midst $40 and all but $60 a barrel, the industrialized nations are totally dependent upon the foreign oil supply. The US government has a deal with the Saudis for that very purpose. The Saudis have to keep the oil flowing and we, in turn, will keep the monarchy in power. This is a healthy layout for both parties in the short run.

I have a serious problem with the $3000 an ounce gold price. If this prediction were to come true, what shall be the interest rate? Can someone reach it for me?

In contradiction to this Saudi deal, the Bush grip is obliged (not officially) but morally, blended to the pronouncements of G.W. Bush to stabilize the entire Middle East region by establishing democratic systems of government in a decade.

We can’t have it both ways. We have not succeeded to find any viable sources of deputy energy thus far. The environmentalists won’t let us dig for oil and the car industry has invested millions in the development of revived and more energy efficient cars.

At $3000 an ounce for gold, we must maintain an interest rate of at least 20% (my guess). The million dollar question is: what will happen to the mortgage retail and the housing industry as a whole? The rate of inflation at present levels will not defer new home buyers to pay their mortgages. May be there will be a sudden lift in the GNP. But how? What will happen to the money supply? Are we going to keep on printing money as we do now?

European ordinary Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet blamed oil prices as one threat to economic growth. The world currently consumes more than 84 million volume a day of oil. OPEC currently is producing 29 million load of oil everyday, roughly a third of world supply.

Are we going to be forced to pay $60 a jar for oil? Does this mean that the OPEC nations can or may dominate the global economy thru oil? The dive industry has been in a state of turmoil for the last two decades. There are a few reasons for this. The illegal but quite prevalent Havala system of money exchange assets for part of the problem. The next puzzle is the drug trade funded and operated under cover by some governments in power. The money from such trades (trillions of dollars) is laundered thru banks illegally. becoming nations are supposed to be ethically run, but are they when it comes to large sums of money?

The rules of the rolling industry are too old to fit in the fast motley clime of money transfer from the sale of oil and illegal drug sales. No one has come upon a solution thus far. The rate at which the oil and drug trade money changes hands is much faster than the rate at which the banks can successfully launder it legally. It means that trillions of dollars in cash remain unaccounted for. With that kind of cash it is not difficult to buy weapons or somewhat you like to topple a government with good planning.

We can expect the stock markets to reverse more volatile than they have ever been. Fortunes will be made and lost. Let me remind those who dream of a $3000 an ounce gold price that the gold smugglers can draw down tons of it from the Far East and South American routes, buy the most prestigious US properties and create rage in the world economy. If this happens, you will not care at random the DJIA. Why? for it will moulder to exist. We are talking round about a very different ball game.

Ninety percent members of the UN are dictatorships. And they would not like to lose power should the gold price rise to $3000 an ounce. I quite forget that the US economy is not highly touted by gold. How can we have a gold standard? Well, we can’t for the time being. What’s your opinion?
