"Nearly 50% of the total outstanding debt of the world's top 10 debtor nations needs to be rolled over by the end of 2015."

The basic line of reasoning is that there will not be enough lenders to roll over all of this debt. To make up for this shortfall, there will have be massive quantitative easing sometime in the next three years. Essentially, gold will look very pretty if this guy is correct.

There aren't enough lenders as it is for just Europe.

so it doesnt roll over

its just more extend and pretend

theyve been practicing this for long enough

and the threats that theres a risk of systemic failure if you do not go along with it ...

Quantum QE is on it's way.. That's what the UK is already in the process of doing! Quantum QE directly funds government spending without issuing new debt.

Quantum indeterminacy is the apparent necessary incompleteness in the description of a physical system, that has become one of the characteristics of the standard description of quantum physics .........


why didnt the economists turn to the physicists sooner ......... (-;
