Princeton Economics Predicts April 8 into 9 CRASH

Hullo GATA members,

Some of you have been having difficulty getting to Princeton Economics
International (not Institute. The problem is in the 1 instead of l it
seems. Sorry about that. I normally paste addresses over, but it has
been difficult to maintain absolute order in the face of the overload on
the Internet lately, and the consequent time struggles. It often works
to use the search engine when one has difficulties like this. I find
Altavista to be better than Yahoo or msn.

Anyway, the right address is:
http://www.pei-intl.com/TOPICS/READY:HTM pasted off the website
Regards,

Boudewijn Wegerif (Bodwin)

the

According

place

19th,

perspective,

that

8.6-month

>>
>> Before dismissing the April 8 into 9 dateline for the coming major
>> reversal into year 2002, go back a few hundred words and read how
this
>> same Princeton Economic Institute, using the same models,
"successfully
>> predicted the crash and the magnitude right down to the precise day
of
>> October 19th."
>>
>> The analysis continues: "The question of whether we will see a major
>> crash of significant proportion that would take the Dow Jones back to
>> 3700 by 2002-2003 or a moderate correction of 6000-5000 will be
>> determined exclusively by the international reaction within net
capital
>> flow movement. A strong dollar that continues to rise dramatically
into
>> 2002-2003 would not merely cause a similar recession in the U.S. such
as
>> that of 1980-1985, but it could very well impact commodity prices
>> thereby perpetuating the deflationary trend into 2002-2003
>> simultaneously."
>>
>> There is no mention of gold in the several thousand word Princeton
>> analysis and forecast. So I have asked the authors about that, and
hope
>> some of you will, too, through e-mailing them at
>> webmaster@pei-intl.com.
>>
>> This is how I put it:
>> Dear friends,
>>
>> I have just read The Next Crash Beware the Ides of March. I am very
>> impressed. Being on the Committee of the Gold Anti-Trust Action (see
>> www.gata.org) and Moderator of the GATA E-mail Group
>> (www.egroups.com/list/gata), I was naturally interested to see that
the
>> word gold doesn't come up once. Of course, your focus is on the DOW.
>> Would you have kept records, nevertheless, on gold prices relative to
>> the DOW since 1929? and worked these into models? If so, the GATA
>> Committee and Members would very much like to know about it. We would
>> particuarly like to know if you have records that show what was
>> happening from October to December 1987?
>>
>> GATA is a team of several hundred members now, who firmly believe
that
>> the Wall Street Investment Houses are colluding to suppress the price
of
>> gold, with the active encouragement of Treasury and Federal Reserve
>> Board officials? Would your records support that belief? And would
they
>> show a similar carry on in 1987?
>>
>> Just this evening the GATA Chairman, Bill Murphy, wearing his other
hat
>> as Midas at the financial website www.metropolecafe.com, which he
owns
>> and edits, made some startling revelations about FED gold sales
around
>> December 1987. You might like to read the full text, at the James
Joyce
>> Table, under the Cafe's trial membership offer, if one or other of
you,
>> or the PEI as a whole is not a member yet.
>>
>> Here is a tidbit, to entice you to the original perhaps.
>>
>> Midas quotes from the unknown author of an article in a prominent
>> newspaper 11 years ago:
>>
>> "WHO'S CALLING THE SHOTS? I recently had dinner with former Fed
Governor
>> Wayne Angell, and asked him several questions about gold. Of
particular
>> interest to me was the disposal of 548,000 ounces from the Fed's
stock
>> in the period immediately following the October 1987 stock market
crash.
>>
>> "For those readers not familiar with the details, 190,000 ounces of
gold
>> were sold from the US Gold Reserve during the 10 week period
immediately
>> following the crash, and a further 358,000 ounces were sold in
January
>> and February 1988. The size of this transaction and its eye-catching
>> timing have always in my mind warranted further inspection ( i.e.,
the
>> dishoarding occurred when everyone was nervous whether the financial
>> system was about to disintegrate because of the stock market crash
and
>> the big drop in the Dollar to new record lows; you will recall that
the
>> gold price was inching over $500 per ounce in December 1987, which
was
>> being regarded as a harbinger of more trouble ).
>>
>> "Will a similar huge dispersal occur if the Dollar goes into another
>> tail-spin?or if stocks start heading south at the rate of 100 or
more
>> Dow points per day? Will more gold be dishoarded in an attempt to
keep
>> it price below $500 per ounce?.or below $400 per ounce.
>>
>> "Mr. Angell's response was that the Fed does not intervene in the
gold
>> market, whether, spot, futures, forwards, or options. He was
unyielding
>> on this point. However, he never did answer why 548,000 ounces of
gold
>> were dishoarded. It seemed to me that either he was not aware of this
>> dishoarding, or if he was, he wasn't saying."
>>
>> The author went on to describe how the transcripts of the Federal
Open
>> Market Committee had had bits removed and apparently made illegible.
He
>> also throws light on the relationship between the Treasury and Fed,
and
>> concludes:
>>
>> "I found the absence of the word gold particularly interesting since
the
>> gold price was rising to $500 per ounce, and the mention of gold in
the
>> August 18th meeting showed that the FOMC members were sensitive to
its
>> changes in price. In other words, the silence after October 1987 was
>> DEAFENING."
>>
>> Midas writes: "By allowing price fixing shenanigans to occur and by
>> manipulating markets so that real problems are not faced squarely in
the
>> eye for all to see, some very important people and some very highly
>> regarded financial institutions, may be fostering UNFORESEEN
FINANCIAL
>> DISASTERS that will also suddenly appear on the radar screen from out
of
>> nowhere (as happened with the LTMC)."
>>
>> Because of the enormity of their gold shorts, we believe that the big
>> players will face double troubles if, as the DOW crashes gold is
freed
>> to find its rightful price at at least $350.
