I will reserve comment, as I am seeking commentary from those who might have an agreeing or dissenting opinion. Has anybody heard any truth to what this guy is discussing?

(I just found the link off of fark.com.)

When they add cash to the money supply, it has to go somewhere. It gets lent into the economy and spent. They've been skillful in recent years to keep the inflation in asset classes like stocks, bonds, and houses, which make us all feel wealthier. An injection of this magnitude right before a large, retail-oriented holiday may have been a way to give an artificial boost to retail and make the economy appear healthier than it is.

M3 is where the Fed has been known to "hide" stock and bond purchases that they make in the open market. Obviously, a manipulation of the free market. This is where the Plunge Protection Team lurks. The federal government has been known to buy on the open market in an attempt to prevent a market panic and meltdown in the past. Now, when they do such activities, it will be out of the public's view.

Long story short, buy as many gold bars and bags of silver coins as you can and hide them under your bed!
