Gold Smells Blood

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com -5 November 2010

One day after the Federal Reserve announced a $600-$900 billion second round of Quantitative Easing (QE2), gold and silver hit fresh all-time highs.  Yesterday, the yellow metal surged more than $40 an ounce to well over $1,390 before falling back a few dollars in after hours trading.  Silver, also, had a monster move!  It was up more than a $1.50 per ounce.  It, too, retracted slightly in after hours trading.  That surge in precious metals is a debilitating rebuke of the Federal Reserve’s wild and unprecedented money printing policies.   How bad is it, really, for the Fed to feel this is a good idea?  Gold is acting like a predator that smells the blood of wounded prey.   LINK...

Prices of staples including milk, beef, coffee, cocoa and sugar have risen sharply in recent months. And food makers and retailers including McDonald’s Corp., Kellogg Co. and Kroger Co. have begun to signal that they will try to make consumers shoulder more of the higher costs for ingredients.   LINK...
