midas Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Assuming that what these “analysts” are describing isn’t prima facie fraud (attempting to sell what they don’t own); then what is being described here can only be short-selling. And when we look at both sides of these bullion-leasing transactions; all that we see is fraud and conspiracy. It gets worse. Given the vast tonnages of gold-leasing; one of two possibilities must be true. Some of these gold-leasing contracts are pure paper-fraud, where there is no metal backing the transaction at all. Alternately, in order to supply these vast tonnages; some/most/all of this leased gold must be originating from Western central banks. http://www.bullionbullscanada.com/gold-commentary/26280-the-fraud-and-conspiracy-of-bullion-leasing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naam Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 here's a good one for the gilded bugs: Peter Schiff Interview: Gold Poised for "Horrific Rally" By Jimmy Mengel | Wednesday, July 17th, 2013 Monday we brought you a controversial analysis on the economy from Peter Schiff. In his interview, he explained why all the talk of the Fed's QE tapering was a total bluff... that there is no exit strategy... and that they may “step on the gas” and start pumping up to $250 billion a month into the economy... Obviously, this will all have serious ramifications for the precious metals market. In part two of our interview with Schiff, we explore the bottom in gold — and why it is poised for a “horrific rally.” In addition, he offers an interesting solution for those worried about the falling value of the dollar. Ok, Peter... So let's say your predictions come to pass and the Fed ramps up the money printing. What does that do to gold in the long and short term? It's going to spike in price. It's setting itself up for a horrific rally. You've had so much speculative liquidation. A lot of the gold that speculators have bought in the last few years has been liquidated over the last couple months. When the market turns around, as it will, when the people who sold it want it back again because the prices are rising again, when people realize that we aren't in a recovery, the Fed won't stop easing... when people realize why gold has been going up for the last ten years, they'll want to buy it back. But when they want to buy it back, where is going to come from? I don't believe that the institutions and individuals buying gold the last couple months are interested in selling it. When gold goes to $1,500 or $1,600 again, they won't be blowing out of their position. I think the gold being bought will never be sold. There will be a huge rush to buy gold when the momentum turns. And we know miners aren't going to be producing it. Production won't be there, and the supply was just bought up and taken off the market. I think this could be setting up for a spectacular, parabolic rise in the price of gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midas Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Just a coincidence? As Beurs reports (via google translate), Rabobank has given no explanations for the move, simply stated that customers can no longer acquire precious metals after September 1st, and will have up to 1 year to transfer open accounts to another institution: Rabobank grabs the slump in the gold and silver market to get rid of accounts linked to these precious metals. It follows in the footsteps of ABN AMRO that made possible the delivery of physical gold and silver a few months ago. It is striking that another Dutch bank takes a decision that the liquidity of physical gold and silver limited. From September 1, customers can no longer precious metals purchases. Who then some in his account has standing, given a year to the balance to sell or transfer to another bank. The bank would be interested in such investment have seen decline for some time. Hence the decision to the product no longer to offer . “Why does Rabo it?”, Asks Pascal Paepen of De Morgen himself. , “I do not know” was his answer.Were there a little too much to lose customers who had speculated? Or would the bank no longer dealing with products that are not in the market? The popularity of the precious metals account may significantly decreased by the rise of all kinds of ‘trackers’ and ‘ETFs’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midas Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Bernanke did discuss gold Thursday. He said gold is probably in a bearish posture at present because investors believe gold is “disaster insurance,” and at present the U.S. and world economies are not as bleak as they have been the past few years. He also said low inflationary pressures could also be pressuring gold prices. The Fed chief also said “nobody really understands how gold is priced.” While most gold market watchers would agree with Bernanke that gold could be called “disaster insurance,” the thing most investors in gold do “understand” (and apparently Bernanke does not) is that disasters can and do occur, and many times without warning. Recorded world history is fraught with all kinds of them. http://www.kitco.com/news/2013-07-18/KitcoNews20130718-Gold-Firmer-on-Chart-Consolidation-Bernanke-Opines-on-the-Metal.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naam Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 KitcoThe yellow metal was hammered to its most-oversold levels by far of its entire dozen-year secular bull near the end of last month. In just 9 months, gold plunged far enough to surrender a third of its value! This pummeled it down to an unprecedented three-quarters of its 200-day moving average. Such an extreme selloff would herald a giant mean-reversion recovery for any asset, and gold is certainly no exception. that of course applies only to "paper gold". reality is that physical gold is available -if at all- only at huge premiums above paper gold price. reasons for the scarcity of gold: -the shelves in the gold shops are empty, -only fools will part with a commodity commanding utmost high intrinsic value in exchange for worthless printed paper, -miners will stop production any time from now and do not sell what is already mined.

midas Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The Many Amazing Uses Of Stretchable Gold stretchable gold could be applied directly to the surface of the brain to help people suffering from all kinds of injuries and ailments, because when connected to a power source, the material could deliver tiny jolts of electricity to specific areas. In fact, Kotov and team are already looking at performing experiments on rat brains as a next step in their research. The foil could likewise be implanted directly onto the heart where it could act as a stretchable, low impact pacemaker or otherwise regulate heart functioning. It could be also be incorporated into a catheter system that could be inserted into an artery near the heart and transmit information about heart performance back to an external device. http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2013/07/the-many-amazing-uses-of-stretchable-gold/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
