  • AMERICA ANNOUNCES 1 TRILLION DOLLAR BUDGET CUT TODAY.

    DONT BET AGAINST AMERICA.  MASSIVE LAUGH

  • What a useless fool you are john . roflmao put your apple up your stupid butt.

  • it didn't crash, did it

  • can somebody explains me what exactly is the dow jones and how they calculate it and why does it go up and down and is beacause the dow jones that the economy is able to crash...

  • cute guy

  • Gold production is running out, not the actual supply. Silver and other metals are running out faster.

    in 1979-80 dow/gold was at one but gold silver was at 16. Silver is running out faster than gold, yet is priced much less than gold and even less relative to historical comparison.

    The problem is just as the money is inflated gold and silver futures are inflated as well. Just like a banking system where everyone would demand cash, if future buyers demanded delivery there wouldn't be enough.

  • Get ready for the dead cat bounce!

  • research the zeitgeist movement.

  • It would be more realistic to compare the DOW to silver rather than gold, because gold currently has volatility behind it. Therefore, the price is inflated. I believe there will be a gold bubble eventually. I also think the dollar will become a useless currency at the rate the Obama administration is going. I believe this trend can and will be reversed. It's good to keep a percentage of precious metals in one's portfolio. Once that is done there's no need to panic.

  • dollar well below the 75 mark now.

  • But the other stock exchange, not valued in dollars, are also increasing. Why?

  • same reason. government around the world are printing money.

  • their currencies are inflating too. It's a rush towards inflation. compare other stock exchanges valued in gold, silver, etc.

  • Isn't it peoples wages that will collapse? All the $ that are printed must be used somewhere, and the stock exchange seems like a good option. At least the companies will not have to pay their workers so much, which will increase the companies profit and value.

  • Nice vid John. Thanks for sharing.

  • What are we gonna do? The government is bold face lying to the citizens while some poor grandma out there is thinking one in thing, the truth is she is being fed lies. Lets all move to india who is coming with me?

  • Very good video, I've been watching the DOW and the USDX for the last 6 months and the correlation you drew between the 2 is right on.

  • Good job! I knew something did not make sense! when will the dollar numbers of the dow actually crash?

  • Very good video, I never thought of the DOW crashing upwards. Now that will be one for the history books for sure.

  • Good video

  • Stellaconcepts: Australia's greatest export

  • Watching this channel I seem to hear a lot of buy & hold. People here just preach PM's instead of stocks, real estate or whatever.

    Yes, PM's seems to definitely be the smart move for now, but be careful and remember 1980. Buy & hold only works for the lucky.

    Happy investing & good luck all!

  • 4 apples an hour! thats not even minimun apple wage.

  • unless you're hungry....

  • When the Dow crashed 1931-1932 (89% from its peak) the dollar was backed by gold. The Dow could flatline or go up and the gold price increase at a faster rate.I reckon gold will go higher for the rest of the year compared with the Dow. Then in the early part of next year there will be a brief dollar rally to put us back to where we are now before the next stage of the gold bull run/dollar tumble. This pattern will repeat itself until either the dollar bottoms or it freefalls Zimbabwe style

  • Bravo!

  • As a fellow Aussie how do you think this will play out in Australia. More unemployment? more inflation? esp utilities, food etc. Do you think our dollar will equal or surpass the U.S. dollar? Or will they devalue it? Banks and businesses closing etc etc. What are your thoughts?

  • Masters degree in Economics that say's that Australia will do great once China and India get fired up.

    Australia,Canada and New Zealand have the most resources like Gold,Silver and Oil in Canada.

  • Grapevine news: I heard the Panama Canal Zone will be hiring soon to enlarge the Canal...

  • i love the apples example

  • very clear video aswell

    easy to understand

    5 star

  • Looking mighty dashing john, not the usual bed hair :)

  • We have work 24/7.

  • At DOW 6500, Dollar was about 86, Now DOW 10,200, thats like 35%+ increase and dollar decreased by 15%(+-) so in nominal terms, their has been some growth , just less, Right? Dollar needs to get under 70 to indicate 0 growth IMO

    Nonetheless, I know we are in for a hell of a ride

  • We will see how "progressive" Americans are when inflation hits Depression-era figures. Our politicians and CEOs have no fear of being substantially, personally punished if they fail in their duties toward the taxpayer or worker. If I fail, I get fired. Revolution is just around the corner.

  • I live in Costa rica, came to US to visit this week, they are giving things away, went to a mall to get some stuff to bring back home, great deals, where is the inflation, nobody has money!!!!!!!

    I own PM's, but wonder if deflation or inflation will hit

  • thanks!

  • so funny John but I was just comparing the fall of the Roman Empire with that of what seems to be taking place in America...so sad and ever so possible...

  • hes cute...

  • keep up the good work!!!

  • You're in dream land pal.Inflation adjusted from its 1980 high gold should be trading @ $2,000.00 an oz.Its lost half its value to INFLATION!

    NEVER BET AGAINST AMERICA!

  • never bet against America?

    I think the same was said for the roman empire.

    Dont let your patriotism get in the way of your common sense... use them both to your advantage.

  • The market was manipulated on May 6th 2010. I explain how it was manipulated and who did it on my channel.

  • Daverha, we missed you.

  • Buffet (i dont know about gates) is an inflationist.

    His rail purchase proves that and his comments "I think equities will outperform cash over the next 10 years" is probably true.. infact, we've seen EXACTLY that - the stock market has way outperformed the dollar... so yea - this thing could keep going higher - but thats not a good thing if the dollar is dropping faster - like it is...

  • Logic and reason. Wow! So missing in this world of Ponzi scheme economics.

  • How can you say we avoided a great depression if we are still in a recession and it's getting worse, not better, especially with everything that Obama is doing and spending money like it grows on trees. Instead of allowing the banks to fail and have people save their money, he's encouraging Americans to spend. You could say we avoided doing the right thing and save the economy.

  • admit I've been wrong about what?

    Since I've started my YT channel silver has way outperformed the dow.

    I've been right.

    Gold is making new highs... the Dow can only dream about it - and that in inflated devaluing dollars....

    Care to explain what I'm wrong about?

  • The dow 10.000 is priced in dollors ,the doller is worth .50cents , that means the value of the dow is 5.000 , GET IT?

  • I have ben trying to explain all this to my husband. He dose not see it yet but he will.

    We are baked in the US.

  • im goin through the same thing with my girlfriend. she doesn't get it yet. it's so frustrating !

  • You seem awake despite the pyjamas!

  • awesome vid

    thanks!!

  • I understand exactly what you're saying but what about all the quarterly reports saying that inventories are down and future sales are looking better? Many companies are stating a positive outlook for growth in the next several quarters.

  • It's not Sales that are looking better... its profit - as a result of:

    1. Job and Cost cutting.

    2. Inflation

    It is only looking better than forcasted... not better than ever!

  • Yes, cost cutting would increase profits but I don't see how inflation will increase profits. The consumer will pay more for goods but so will the manufacturer. The reports are saying "growth" and I understand that it isn't the growth of the early 2000's but it's still growth which means increasing production and eventually will lead to hiring. The consumer sector I'm afraid will not be good but their does seem to be growth in manufacturing due most likely to exports.

  • Because input prices are "sticky" due to long-term contracts. So, if you produce and sell at a higher price but your input prices are not moving as much, you end up with greater profits in the short run.

    Incidentally, the guy in the video is an idiot. He is using gold as the only measure to justify that the DJIA has crashed. The exchange rate basket reflects only a 10% decline in the value of the dollar. Gold is in a bubble right now. I bet this guy thought houses were a good investment in 2005.

  • Spoken just like a Goldman Sachs robber baron....

    Keep that propaganda spewing!

  • I agree on the $. I calculated it to roughly 11% in the past 6 months. Not that that is something to be happy about. If I remember correctly a dollar in 2003 was only worth about a nickel. So now it's worth probably 4 cents.

  • Surely that would be 6 apples?...

  • thanks for having John, I love listening to his channel, very smart guy!

  • Telegraph, November 11, 2009:

    Barrick shuts hedge book as world gold supply runs out. Global gold production is in terminal decline despite record prices and Herculean efforts by mining companies to discover fresh sources of ore in remote spots, according to the world's top producer Barrick Gold.

  • Go $ go $ go $, I will buy commodities at better price

  • Thanks, great job!

  • Thanks Daniel. Thanks John. Have been a subscriber to this channel for over a year. Now I have another great channel t subcribe to. Cheers guys. This is exactly what I have been telling people.

  • Thanks for confirming what I see -- the U.S. economy is overvalued in almost every way by fifty percent. I don't know why others refuse to see this. They can just try to buy one euro, and see that they need at least a buck fifty to do that. Hello?

  • Wanna get a laugh? There's an AP article that said that the recent spike in gold prices is really a bubble and there's no telling when it will burst.

  • who is keeping/protecting true values?

    those that buy something solid of value without getting into debt.

    To consume will not help you.

    If you think your rich then you cant physically carry your real physical gold around with you. measure true value in Physical Weight and NOT DOLLARS

  • marc faber says the world economy is imploding.

    this 9 second video is important:

    /watch?v=cpk193dMqcY

  • Good vid!

  • Very clear - love the simplicity of this explanation!

  • great info..thanks much!

  • loved the apple analogy - great video john, ive been a longtime sub to your channel and learn something everytime.  outstanding.

  • thanks cv! ;)

  • "the dow may crash upward". well said

  • keep shorting the dow and s&p...keep getting your faced ripped off.

  • Thanks John. Great info! Why didn't Daniel ever explain this before?! Just kidding, but I did learn a few good concepts from this video. I'll definitely be subscribing to you. Thanks again.

  • shit the apples are rotting. sell all your apples and buy oranges!

  • I'll buy some bananas and throw 'em at Bernanke and Geithner.

  • dont'tgetgoldfever.

  • You're an idiot. I am an educated college student female and trust me Vision Victory and stellaconcepts speak the truth. I am ahead in this economic downturn in comparison to everyone else in America.

  • "I am ahead in this economic downturn in comparison to everyone else in America. "

    Sorry , but this comment doesnt sound very intelligent

  • The fact that you're college educated has absolutely nothing to do with the knowing what the truth is. All the idiots we rightly criticize went to college. Going to college today is a dime a dozen phenemenom. There are a lot of dumb kids who stupidly went to school not knowing the interest rates of the loans they took out. Further more, most college grads were, first of all, not intellectually astute enough to realize that the financial "aid" they received was actually financial rape. Good day.

  • You've received one thumbs-down already, but it wasn't from me. Your English seems good! Many college grads cannot even do what you just did. All around the world, people are still totally fooled by the education game, which is only well-played when it's played correctly! Good for you, good comment.

  • @slobomotion It's sad that people don't realize that the US in awash in cheap paper, in both US dollars and diploma mill-diplomas.

  • Like Gerald Celente said you shouldn't send your kid to study Sociology, History of Art, etc. but if they are going into the harder sciences/medicine it's different. So not all diplomas are worthless. If we didn't have people going to college, we wouldn't have the many benefits that science has brought.

  • Sorry for my grammar, I'm actually in class and I am trying to take notes as well. haha

  • @castmay Nobody said that all diplomas are all worthless. People don't like it when their words are twisted around. /// This world needs good, solid historians, sociologists, psychologists, artists and philosophers. These fields are not wastes of time. Gerald simply said "Show me the greatness these universities are producing and they can show me nothing.". He did mention the softer sciences, but not as the best choice. Probably because they're more ambiguous and, therefore, harder to excel in.

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah, you got that right. I have an MBA and have taught at the university level here in Paris. Wow, am I sorry I didn't learn horseshoeing back at Kent State!

  • Ah, Paris. The Eternal City... just kidding. lol

  • I am graduating and who said that I paid anything. I will be going to medical school next year so I don't regret anything. I want to be like Ron Paul and he had to go to college before medical school so what's your point?

  • Have you ever heard one of Gerald Celente's mantras? "It's not even Ecnomics 101. It's Economics For Dummies!". What's going on has more to do with common sense knowledge than anything else. In other words, you don't need to be "college educated", or female for that matter, to understand whats going on in this country. People just need to think about things and ask more questions than they answer. PS My comment wasn't intended to be degrading. Comments on YouTube can seem quite cold sometimes...

  • I know who he is but I still have to go to college before medical school. I can't go straight to medical school from high school. Anyways Peter Schiff went to my college (UC Berkeley) so I don't think it was a waste of time. Some colleges do teach you to critically think but it's up to the person to apply it.

  • Well said sir!!! I happen to be one of those former students now being raped. Doesnt feel to good.

  • @CASTILLOM1 I'm sorry to hear that you're running into financial troubles. What was your major? Do you have a job? If so, is it in your field?

  • Lol no im not in bad financial shape. The exact opposite actually but I did take out a student loan for $18000 now nearing 20k. Damn govt and their exorbitant interest rates.

  • Good to hear that you're not doing too bad. I was thinking about taking out student loans myself because I very much would like to go to school, but I really, really, really don't want to fall into the debt trap. People say it's like a black hole and that it's almost as if it were designed to be a bottomless pit. We know the latter to be true./// Peter Schiff and Gerald Celente say that college tuition has to drastically drop in the coming years. It's another bubble that's just waiting to burst.

  • Wishful thinking

  • "Wishful thinking" in regards to what?

  • can you say? "controlled demolition"

  • @xFIRSTMERITx

    hey xfirst we dont want to hear any of your PPT crap ok. This is a free country and we believe what want to.

  • Gold at 850 30 yrs ago, Dow at 1000. Now Dow at 10200 gold at 1150. Doesn't timing have anything to do with it ? In fact, timing is everything.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • thanks

  • Thanks for the update man!

  • Gold 1120 haha...getting crazier by the day

  • Great video & excellent analysis of what is really going on. Wall street, the banks & the governments have created a nice mess for us eh.

  • I wish I had Johns hair. John, when I die I want to reincarnate as you.

  • Great presentation. It should also be said that the DOW is crashing in terms of (relative to) the price of gold.

    Some chartists say that after breaking 72 , the dollar will head to 40 and others say 60 on the USDI. I believe it could find temporary support at 60, but trust the judgement of those the most who say 40.

    For your viewers, should the dollar go to 40 on the index, the price of imported goods will likely increase almost 100%. Too bad we import most everything.

  • Damn this FIRSTMERIT clown is irritating. Whats wrong with trying to profit from the knowledge these guys have so panstakingly collected?? Theyre giving us free advice and offering their services as compensation to themselves. Nothing in life is free my boy, get your head out of your ass and see it. I too would be trying to profit from my work. Do you flip burgers at mcdonalds for free??

  • @xFIRSTMERITx

    are you on drugs?

  • Hes not on drugs, just a boneheaded kid who revels in the negative attention he receives. Ignore the moron. Spam his posts.

  • 648 ratings and 302 views :-(

  • Great vid, great info.

  • im sure visionvictory is happy with your excessive BS commentary, the more comments, the more this vid gets promoted. so keep it up... everyone see you for what you are... while at the same time getting this important information out there.

    trolls like you ought to be gratified, not blocked.

    cheers and thanks for your support ;)

  • I rather own high end stocks than gold or silver still kraft foods which operates all over the world as well as cadbury or GE these stock will be a hedge against inflation also stocks like slumberger and oil companies are really poised to pop as oil increases.

  • I agree that stocks in certain industries will do well but the problem really lies in the compensation that you will receive when it is time to cash out on your investments. The dollar is a terribly flawed currency and I want to own an asset that can be converted into any currency or used as currency in case of collapse.

  • Hey John great to see you on Vision victory as well..

  • Good analysis. Thank you

  • Comment removed

  • does it? really?

  • Comment removed

  • I promise to behave now.

    I suggest you do the same.

  • Hey asshole FIRSMERIT, noone is twisting your arm to stick around in this discussion. John is giving his opinion and if you dont like it then kindly leave. We dont need your Mike Norman-esque ass around here offering half-witted retorts to the guys who have given us great words of wisdom!! And AMERICAN???!!! Get the fuck outta here you ignorant asshole!!!

  • I have a quick joke for those following the Amero discussion......If Europe uses the Euro, and the Americas the Amero then what will the African Union use?? The Afro??

  • Comment removed

  • no worries it was funny. Screw the people who get easily offended.

  • Nice to see other intelligent people here.

  • You not being one of them.

  • Dow's only 30 stocks. Shouldn't give so much credence to it.

  • I can't delete comments on another channel's video mate... I suggest you calm down.

  • Interesting his commercial at the beginning of the video and link to his buddy or him the bullion dealer is removed from the side bar......

    Americans are not stupid......we don't eat rotten apples. There should be a disclaimer here on these videos "for amusement only"

  • 582 ratings with 302 views??

  • Yes, 582 and 302.

    YouTube hired the mathematicians that used to crunch numbers for Enron and MCI worldcom.

    Seems like it's hard to get good work release workers these days :(

    As Chena would say..

    Bad dog, no bisuit...WOOF

  • Hahahaha, well said Forrest, I mean JC

  • I don't think you should base everything on the gold and the dollar. You can look at steel in July 2008 it was $1099/ton hot rolled, in July 2009 is was $506. If you look at orange juice, aluminum, wood, ... you will see prices have dropped in dollars. Gold is rising because people are scared. Dollar is dropping because people are scared and fundamentally the dollar is in trouble.

  • But gold is a great indicator of economic uncertainty. When it rises it denotes a flight by investors from assets of no real value ie stocks, bonds, currency, to those of real physical value. Steel and the others mentioned are of real value. The temporary "drop", which will be short lived, was a foreshadowing of events to come. I guarantee it. We as a species have consumed way too many materials causing a huge shortage of everything. Gold included. Check PEAK OIL.

  • Don't look at steel.

    Who is a HUGE domestic consumer of steel?

    According to US Steel: automobile, construction and industrial equipment.

    See, there were outstanding blanket orders and contracts (even though demand already dropped).

    Orders are not being renewed or outright cancelled.

    Silver had similar price influence since 1970's because of its industrial use, silverware,etc.

  • Any tangibles that people need and use will be better than stocks,bonds or paper money.I think skyrocketing energy prices will be the final nail in the coffin.The time to network with like minded locals is now.

  • Do you really think the dollar can reach the 40 mark? i think it would collapse well before then

  • well hitting 40 on the index is pretty much a collapse.

  • Hahaha, well said John. I was going to be more sarcastic and crack a wise comment. If it reaches 50 it has collapsed.

  • LOL ok ;)

  • There is no currency crisis!!! the currency is being devalued to pay our creditors with cheap money and then will be replaced. Brilliant!!!! Oh its going to hurt!! Thats for sure, but behind the mess stands a rainbow. Canada, U.S. and Mexico combined will form a powerhouse of a currency. We will easily be able to compete globally again. The U.S. may never reach the levels previously enjoyed but we will be back. Hopefully, but not realistically, smarter.

  • While I realize the North American Union was signed in 2005, (and yes, I watched the JBS DVDs)...I think that plan is done.

    It seemed like a good plan, but it wasn't the ONLY plan. It was like, plan A.

    Now, we are on plan B.

    It was always there, but a hand that was only to be played to usher in the final solution.

    Skip A, right to B.

    There will be NO amero.

    G8 and G20 made clear the direction.

    Russia and China already fingers in SDR's.

  • If SDR's are the future of America, and im getting the sense more and more that it is, then things will obviously be different. Thats why I said possibly. The Amero is whats best for us as North Americans but not as good for us as World Citizens.

  • And I dont believe that there were actually plans for one or the other. There was a master plan behind it all and one will be the campaign of misinformation, possibly the Amero. Youve given me much to think about Forrest, I mean jcwitness. Either way, owning gold will get us through.

  • id like to see an overlay of teh dollar and tthe dow...i think it would make an interesting chart.

  • the are inversely correlated. one up - the other down and vice-versa

  • yes im just curious where the dollar and the dow cross on the chart...i suppose it would be somewhere near the top of the dow...thanks
