Seems you right:

"In Manhattan, the Fed safeguards the gold of the world at no charge to the depositors, who only have to pay $1.75 per gold bar to have the stuff moved around the vault. If, for example, France wants to pay Russia for something in gold, it calls the Fed and has it move bars from its part of the vault to Russia's part for the nominal transaction fee. When currencies were linked to the price of gold, transactions were aplenty, but that's no longer the case these days. Last year there was just one transaction conducted in the vault, a Fed spokesman said, declining, for obvious reasons, to add more detail."

Begs the question then- Why would they be so kind?

The time delay and small yearly quantities is still the elephant in the room. I'm sure lots of debate like this one is swirling around like this at every level of investor and governments; That in itself is worth considering.

Absolutely.. What makes it hard to believe that JPM holds physical against all it's shorts is that they could not physically accumulate on a yearly basis all the PM's they short. The yearly quantities just don't add up.

it is good to know that we have an expert on Bundesbank policies

I like the way the gold is stored in such a way to allow easy viewing and access .

4. Gold als Währungsreserve

Lagerung bei der Federal Reserve Bank New York

worth a listen ...

Perhaps Naam can answer the simple question raised a few posts ago ..'Why do you think they can only bring 50 tons a year ....Does Lufthansa have some kind of cargo limit ' why is Germany not being allowed to audit and retrieve their gold from the US in a timely manner

Isn't it rather interesting that back on October 24 last year it was reported that the Bundesbank would request the New York Fed to ship back only 150 t over three years? I wonder what caused the Bundesbank over a 3 month period to double the amount they now want? Sounds like there's there's been some hard negotiating in the background as to how much they can actually get and it makes you wonder who is imposing the possible limitations and why?

October 24, 2012

In perhaps the biggest story in gold since Hugo Chavez sent shock-waves throughout the gold market in mid 2011 (and propelled gold up $300 to a record $1915), the German Federal Accountability Office has ruled that the Bundesbank must conduct an audit on German Central Bank gold holdings, and in anticipation, has begun the repatriation of German gold from the NY Fed. The Bundesbank will request the NY Fed ship 50 tones of German gold back to the motherland a year for the next 3 years!

During the period of the Cold War storing German gold in the US made sense with the Soviet Army parked across the border.

A political rather than a fee generating issue.

But don't let that explanation spoil the fevered imaginations of the zerofridge gold pack.

well i just dipped back in as it seems to hold fast at 1680 ish (23800) sold at 25450 so its ok (nearly 7%)

Pacific Group to Convert One-Third of Hedge-Fund Assets to Gold

No it's not distorted or outdated at all. That's why I put the date on the top. I merely pointed out that between October to now they changed their minds and decided to double the amount they are bringing back from 150 to 300 t

the Bundesbank announced "50 tons for three years" and now they announced "50 tons for seven years". of course they made a big mistake not asking the "Silver Doctors" and "Mr Midas" for permission to transfer more gold from the U.S. and leave whatever gold is stored in the Yewnighted Kingdom™.

that the total amount targeted to be in Germany by the year 2020 has not changed is irrelevant for "Messrs Silver Doctors & Midas" because otherwise they could not call it a conspiracy to undermine the global financial system by using criminal activities. and soon "Messrs Galactic Gold Council Doctors" will come up with similar assumptions and accusations.

Repatriation Avalanche Gaining Momentum: Azerbaijan to Withdraw All Gold From JP Morgan Vaults

The size of the gold withdrawal from the cartel bullion banking system is not the important thing in Azerbaijan’s announcement- rather the increasing liklihood that our bankster friends will soon be facing repatriation requests from every last rehypothecated gold bar owner.

Rickards is bullish on gold short term and says

Ok I answer the question since you can't; why they so kindness to keep another countries gold for free for last 10+ years? Because they put it to work leasing etc in to make to manipulate prices. That is why they can not give back more than 50tons per year. It is stuck in the web of the system.

What's your answer? No answer; Just trol trol trol with out able to put forth any sensible logical alternative reasoning for this scenario.

please list any available evidence

1) what other rational explanation is there to not just take back all your gold in 1 go?

2) artificially increased supply would affect the supply side of demand and supply based price determination.
