Gold market - accident waiting to happen or crime scene? Don’t shoot the messenger
This report combines analysis of the gold market with the greatest story of hidden treasure in world history and (amazingly) most people have never even heard about it - although it has resurfaced on a couple of financial websites very recently. I would expect you to be cynical at first, as I was, but there is plenty of “primary evidence” which suggests it is true.
The motivation for writing this report is the fact that the gold market doesn’t make sense. Basically, the numbers don’t add up. This became apparent to me while I was writing the Gold War report at Redburn Partners in 2007. At the time, I was more interested in discussing the upcoming bust in the credit cycle and why gold and silver were the “go to” assets for investors. Since then, I’ve been meaning to write a piece interpreting the “official data” for the gold market.

Is this extra gold real or not? Who's got the real stuff?

"There is FAR more gold bullion held in private hands than is acknowledged by current industry estimates. It is the large amount of additional gold on top of known gold stocks which provides sufficient liquidity to support the high volumes traded through London."

Interesting alternatives were explored in the story.
Thanks.
