Pento - Ultimate Collapse & Real Reason Interest Rates Rising
Today Michael Pento accused the mainstream media of misleading the public once again. Pento, who founded Pento Portfolio Strategies, writes exclusively for King World News about the ultimate collapse and the real reason interest rates are rising: “The prevailing notion among the mainstream media and economists is that interest rates are rising because of improving economic growth. But like many of the readily accepted tenets of today’s world of popular finance, this too has its basis in fallacy.”
Michael Pento continues:
“Interest rates recently increased by nearly 40 basis points on the 10-year note since the first week of March and that is being offered as proof that the economy has healed and GDP growth is about to accelerate. But in truth the recent spike in Treasury bond yields is only the result of a temporary ebbing in the fear trade that brought about panic selling in Euro denominated debt, which had previously caused U.S. Treasury prices to soar.

Art Cashin - Expect Chaos in Markets if War with Iran Begins
Today Art Cashin told King World News many people are concerned about history repeating itself in the form of sudden and sharp inflation. Cashin, who is Director of Floor Operations for UBS, (which has $612 billion under management), also said the Dow could see a 1,000 point move in a day if war breaks out with Iran. Here is what Art Cashin had to say: “I think what people are concerned about is there is an enormous amount of tinder, in that the LTRO in Europe put a lot of assets in the hands of banks who have temporarily parked it at the ECB. The same thing is true here in the United States.”
Art Cashin continues:
“The balance sheets of the various central banks have nearly tripled. Now, in history, that has often led to a rather sudden and sharp inflation. That’s what people are concerned about, will history repeat itself?

Caesar Bryan - Central Banks Aggressively Buying Gold
With gold trading $20 higher and silver solidly back above $32, today King World News interviewed 25 year veteran Caesar Bryan. Gabelli & Company has over $31 billion under management and Caesar Bryan has managed the gold fund since its inception in 1994. Caesar told KWN that central banks have been aggressively accumulating physical gold into weakness in the paper price of gold. Caesar went on to discuss silver and the mining shares as well, but first here is what he had to say about gold: “Well, there’s been a bit of a transfer from the paper players, those involved on the COMEX and in the futures market who have been liquidating. On the other hand, the physical buyers, including central banks, are stepping in to accumulate gold.”
Caesar Bryan continues:
“The central banks have been accumulating a great deal of physical gold at these lower levels. So there’s a bit of a tug of war going on between the futures market and the physical market. It’s really gut-wrenching what has taken place. Yesterday was a very disappointing day for some of my equity holdings.

Greyerz - Physical Gold Demand Enormous & Accelerating
Today Egon von Greyerz told King World News there is major demand for physical gold and it’s actually accelerating. Von Greyerz also said institutional money is going to aggressively enter gold and this will totally change the market. Egon von Greyerz is founder and managing partner at Matterhorn Asset Management out of Switzerland. Here is what von Greyerz had to say about what is happening in the gold market: “We are seeing the low this week or we could be under pressure for another week. But thereafter, in April, if I look at the technical picture, gold looks fantastic. The next move will be a major move in both gold and silver.”
Egon von Greyerz continues:
“If I look at the physical market, we are seeing major demand and it’s actually accelerating. Again, we are looking at a paper market which is artificially manipulated short-term. It has no relevance at all for the gold market in the long-term.

Fleckenstein - Bernanke Dead Wrong About Gold Standard
Today Bill Fleckenstein, President of Fleckenstein Capital, told King World News that Fed Chairman Bernanke clearly does not understand the business cycle we are in and his comments about the gold standard are wrong. Here is what Fleckenstein had to say about the situation: “When Bernanke speaks or Greenspan speaks, basically I just ignore them because they are the architects of the current problems that we have. The average person has no clue that the root of almost all of these problems we face is irresponsible money printing on the part of the Federal Reserve.”
Bill Fleckenstein continues:
“I read that Bernanke said the gold standard was a bad idea because it didn’t allow the flexibility that he perceived we needed to have in order to engineer us out of trouble. The man clearly does not understand the business cycle.
