The Disconnect Between Supply and Demand in Gold & Silver Markets

James...one other thing. I, too, along with Kelly do not understand why you have positions in SLV and GLD...??!!! From all the evidence, these paper promise vehicles are even as we speak are being shorted and being used to lease more gold and silver out the backdoors to their supposed controllers, all of whom are a part of the anti-gold cartel. Seems a contradiction to me for someone with such a very good understanding of what's going on. Perhaps it just for trading purposes, but it's also aiding and abetting the enemy.... jt

The Disconnect Between Supply and Demand in Gold & Silver Markets

Thanks, DavyJ, and I'm sorry for doing this, but you make such a good example of just how idiotically stupid and gullible most Americans have become, that I just can't resist. You don't seem to realize that your statement is a complete and total non-sequitur contradiction:

You say--"The precious metals dealers have so much inventory at costs far above the current prices that their spreads have vanished."

Duh!!!!!...how do YOU know they have "so much inventory" Davyboy??...please give us your sources. And if they actually did, why would it be at such high prices, unless that's where they bought it? And why would they have bought it at those high prices unless someone was buying it from them there??? And if they are actually waiting to sell their present supposedly HUGE inventory, that means they must be waiting for HIGHER PRICES, right Davy?? But why would price go any higher if the present price is a just and reasonable price??

Sheeeesh, Davyboy, didn't your mom or dad or someone ever tell you it's better to keep your mouth shut and let people just assume your ignorant, than open your mouth and prove them right?? jt

The Disconnect Between Supply and Demand in Gold & Silver Markets

What can I say??...wow!!!...one of the best thot out and laid out explanations I've read ever on the absolutely criminal manipulation of the gold and silver markets by the mafioso anti-gold cartel (anti-gold b/c they have sole control of the fiat currency fraud machine...and gold and silver expose the fraud and so must be kept suppressed) .

Thanks, James...you need to continue to put this out in different venues and expose this for the world to see. GATA has done what it can...but it needs others to also get the message out. As for the rest--BUY PHYSICAL...NOW!!!!...a... esp silver... jt

Thoughts About the Current Bear Market Among Junior Miners

GMiki...I certainly wonder who the shorters are. I've believed that the anti-gold cartel is primarily involved (the Fed and other Western Central bankers and their bullion bank lackies, such as GoldmanSuchs--who also seems to perennially own the Secy of Treas position...talk about insider info!!, and JPMorgain4Elites, and the hedgies they control). They've had patterns that they've created to get the other commercials to come in alongside them in their manipulation / "management" of the gold and silver markets (COMEX esp). One such signal is a takedown of the PM equities on a day that the metals are moving up and they can't take them down...that's been a signal that the next day WILL be a forced takedown (the investment banks involved simply pull all the bids and let the price plummet) day for gold and silver...like the takedown we had this AM @10:45. I truly believe they are involved to try to keep interest away from the PM equities and in the stock market at large and in treasuries.

But I'm also wondering what part the gold and silver bigboys (or even China for that matter) might have in it. They need to replace assets in the ground and they haven't been finding much...and with the ratio as you've just described being a mere 1:10 for Jr compared with the Sr gold/silver in ground...the cheapest way would certainly be to buy up the juniors with significant inground resources.

And for those who just automically blow off any and every "conspiracy" you hear, understand that I'm not saying that ALL moves in the market are manipulated. But...those who manipulate understand the markets...they understand TA and where the stop losses are placed for example...after all, they have ultimate and intimate insider info on ALL stocks/markets (the SEC and the CFTC are also members of the PPT--PlungeProtectionT... / President's Working Group On Financial Markets). All they have to do is tip a price below certain TA or wave numbers and they know the black boxes will do the rest...and they have.

But manipulation will finally be overcome, as it always has been, by physical supply and demand...and the demand is going to be investment demand. Make sure you have some real money...gold/silver coins/bullion. I'd strongly advise AGAINST the SLV and other PM ETFs. Ted Butler has shown that the SLV is being shorted bigtime...probably b/c the shorts can't come up with the physical on COMEX. That should be and probably is outright illegal, as the prospectus states that the fund will hold 10 oz silver / share, and the shorts certainly aren't holding 100M oz silver (at least 10M shares short, if not more). Buy physical. Start nibbling on Jr producers and the BEST of the explorers. But have physical...what you want to have when this whole mess explodes. It'll never be cheaper...esp silver. jt

Silver vs. Gold: 2004 to Today

Good article, John Lee. And dieuwer, the COMEX and CFTC have REFUSED to address these issues or even acknowledge that there ARE any issues. They have been apprised of them in detail, and have flatly denied any problem, any manipulation, any danger of delivery default. Why? Because they serve higher bosses than the American people or its govt. They serve the Fed and the Western bankers who have suppressed the prices of silver and gold in order to try to slow the recognition of the fraud that is called "fiat currency"...backed by nothing. They create it out of NOTHING and then charge interest on it!!! That's worse than the fraud of selling silver and gold in pool accts and then charging storage when indeed they didn't even have the metal with them to store. At least in the end, short of an inability to deliver, they will have to come up with the gold and silver, whereas the Fed has to come up with NOTHING!!!...there IS no recourse and nothing to get back wtih your dollars, your FRNs--Fedl Reserve Notes...absolutely nothing.

So yes...buy physical silver and gold...take delivery. Do NOT put your money in ETFs...they are paper promises with counterparty risks and are being used to dump silver and gold onto the market on days like today to continue the price suppression. But as John has just reiterated, the disconnect between the paper price and the physical price is growing...esp with silver. Buy it and hold onto it. One day some day, we will indeed have a default on delivery...wait and see. jt

Silver Now Outperforming Gold

You start well, but then you say something like this:

"As silver attacks $20 and beyond, we hope to see this leverage over gold increase until the final blow off which in our estimation cannot be too far away now"

Why? If historical ratios between gold and silver are closer to 1:16, and there have been times when it has been 1:1, why are we ANYwhere close. Technicals mean nothing at this point b/c the prices of gold and silver have been suppressed HUGELY for the past decade at least, for gold, and longer than that for silver. Beachballs finally let go under water don't "consolidate" 20' below the surface...they keep on going to freedom. I don't doubt there will be some profit-taking, as the first poster above, but silver is NOwhere close to its inflation-adjusted peak in 1980, even using the completely fraudulent CPI in use since the Clinton administration. jt
