– “Is the U.S. stock market rigged?”
“Steve Kroft reports on a new book from Michael Lewis that reveals how some high-speed traders work the stock market to their advantage”

– “Fault Runs Deep in Ultrafast Trading”

– “In the days to come, your in-God-we-trust dollars should be invested in gold, for gold has sustained a three-thousand-year barter system. In the final analysis it will be the only thing that will have the value to buy your sovereignty completely when the transfiguration from economic monies to one card occurs.”

“The gold is to pay off your indebtedness so that no one owns you, and your foodstuffs are for your survival.”

– “I asked you to buy gold when it was cheap and put it up and not spend it. Just put it up. Its value will replace a destroyed currency. Are you not on that now? What is the value of gold? Everyone is going to it because the currency has no value. Do I think you should buy it now? You should have bought it a long time ago. That is what prophets do.”
