Or, perhaps you're referring to George Soros who personally owns over 11 tons. He's so wacky!

Why is it that every time I read an article that is negative on gold I read that people who are pro gold are "gold bugs"?

Seems just a tidge condescending.

If any group of investors deserves a label that denotes irrational behavior, that would be the government debt buyers, or bondtards.]]> Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:13:45 -0500

Problem is, the custodian of SLV is also the largest short of silver in the world.

I could offer an ETF that tracks the value of the Empire State building and use the proceeds to pay hoodlums to spray graffiti on it every day.

Kind of the same thing.]]> Sat, 19 Jan 2013 12:10:17 -0500

If the world economy continues to slow, mining will slow, therefore supply will shrink.

If the world heats up, industrial applications and demand will absorb new supply.

Most likely, the world will slow and money supply will rise and silver will explode higher.

Prices will rise much higher than anyone has forecast.]]> Thu, 10 Jan 2013 07:21:18 -0500

Political risk seems to be the only headwind that I can foresee.

Can you name an up and coming silver miner that you would be comfortable buying and forgetting about for a five year period?

Thanks in advance.]]> Sun, 25 Nov 2012 09:17:14 -0500

The argument that there is not enough gold in the world to accommodate a gold backed currency is moronic. At today's JPM naked short induced prices, no, you're right. At $50,000 an ounce, there is plenty of gold to back the currency in circulation.

You make each dollar worth 1:50,000 of an ounce and 'voila' there is enough gold to back the currency.

Regarding the "peak gold" argument, just like oil or natural gas, in ground reserves increase as the price goes up, as otherwise "too expensive" recovery technologies become affordable at higher prices. If gold goes to $50,000, for instance, technologies currently in existence to harvest gold from the ocean floor would be economically deployed and the supply would once again shoot up.

Finally, the best argument against a gold standard was not even mentioned in your piece. That is, because the gold market is controlled by a relatively small number of people in the world, it's availability can be gunned up and down by the few to accomplish the same inflation and deflation that can be used to concentrate property in their own hands.

A better standard would involve commodities that are consumed and therefore more difficult and costly to hoard and corner.

While a gold standard would be preferential to the monetary chaos that we have today, a basket of commodities would be best and most difficult for the global powers that be to dominate.]]> Fri, 24 Aug 2012 10:00:45 -0400

However, with physical inventories at record lows, we could see the short squeeze of a lifetime if one or more large players insists on taking physical delivery of the metal and refuses to settle in cash or have the contract rolled forward.

Because silver, unlike gold, is constantly consumed in countless applications, it is harder for the large institutions to manipulate.

One day soon, someone is going to back the armored car up to an empty loading dock and all hell is gong to break loose around the entire world.]]> Tue, 21 Aug 2012 13:31:47 -0400

Here's how I see it. Inventories of corn at at record lows and this crop will not help to rebuild those inventories.

Therefore, prices of corn will remain very high through the harvest of 13.

Much acreage is normally rotated with beans in order to replenish the nitrogen naturally, but my guess is we'll see record acreage of corn planted again next year to take advantage of high prices.

So, it seems to me that the nitrogen vendors stand to make a lot of money over the next year or so.]]> Sat, 04 Aug 2012 16:55:33 -0400

I just finished a road trip that took me through Illinois, Kentucky and Indiana.

What I saw confirmed everything that I have been saying for the last month.

Millions of acres of corn in retarded condition. Ears are not developed. I saw farmers plowing under fields of corn that were no more than five feet tall and brown.

I went to five Amish and Minnonite farms to buy corn and could not find any. They did have some great tomatoes though.

Any pullback should be bought aggressively.]]> Tue, 24 Jul 2012 08:24:50 -0400

When we go out to eat, she will ask the waiter which menu item is better "the French onion soup or the ribeye"?

I always like to key in on the waiters eyes when she asks them this.

That said, I think that we can all agree that the yield on the 10 year and all years is the result of massive Fed intervention and not really indicative of actual real world rates.

There is no way in hell that I would park any amount of money in such a highly manipulated security with no chance to bail out for 10 years.

The ten year treasury is like Monte Hall offering the lucky housewife what's behind door number 3 versus the thousand dollars that he's holding in his hand.]]> Mon, 16 Jul 2012 18:33:30 -0400
