Sunday Night Gold and Silver

0 votes

Wow...what a jump...I bet this is due to the bailout of Fannie and Freddie...I wonder if the US markets will respond in the same way?

Gold up $16 and Silver up .45 as of this typing....

Very interesting...

I get paid this week, so I thought I was going to buy a gold coin this week, but it turned out that I got a huge credit card bill for buying a generator and other survival items, so I have to wait for one or two more pay checks. This bill is HUGE!

Franklin Sanders.....

Either this is the greatest silver and gold buying opportunity of all time, or the end of a bull market.

But it is NOT the end of a bull market. Time alone argues that. A bull market runs 10 - 20 years, and this one has run only 7, since 2001. Those who think silver & gold have fallen into the "bursting of the commodity bubble" completely misunderstand what drives them in the first place. Silver & gold are not commodities; they are money. When investors pile into silver & gold, it's not any commodity bubble forcing them there, but monetary demand. They aren't buying metals because they think all the Indian ladies are going to be wearing two nose rings instead of one this season, or that the American bourgeoisie will suddenly begin stockpiling sterling silver forks again.

They are buying metals because -- listen to this, get it straight once & forever -- they distrust fiat central bank currencies (or if you prefer, national currencies). The dollar is trash, the yen is trash, the euro is trash; all are equally insolvent, equally unbacked by anything expect a politician's or central banker's promise, which is not nearly as good as that of any madame at any bordello anywhere.

The dollar is rising? So, why? Did it become better, acquire more gold backing, solve its chronic balance of payments deficit last night? Come on. Did the euro get worse overnight? The yen? How much worse could it get? You are seeing competitive devaluations, all very much worked out collegially in advance by central bankers. Fundamentally meaningless.

What is NOT meaningless is that the Great Alternative Currencies, silver & gold, have long been advancing against ALL national currencies. All markets swing like pendulums, too far one way, then too far the other. Silver & gold prices became overbought -- a lot of people short dollars were long silver & gold. The dollar rallied, oil & commodities fell, sucking down silver & gold money. Look at the numbers. Even with gold down to $787.50 today, that's only a 21.5% correction, while always more volatile silver is down 37.4%. Friends, these are normal, not outlandish, corrections. Sober up.

Julian D. W. Phillips, Gold Forecaster
The huge gap between the value of gold and the value of money must narrow. Whether it is through the rise in the value of gold and silver or through the fall of the value of money dictates the future of the financial system. Either way, gold and silver will prove to be the safe-haven it has been since money was part of man’s world. And the second half of this year is likely to be as dramatic as the first half but with a golden or silver sheen to it.

Waiting for the Euro rate cut(s)

Stage two of the gold bull market

So have we reached the moment when gold bugs must start questioning their deepest assumptions. Have they bought too deeply into the "dollar-collapse/M3 monetary bubble" tale, ignoring all the other moving parts in the complex global system? Nobody wants to be left holding the bag all the way down to the bottom of the slide, long after the hedge funds have sold out. Well, my own view is that gold bugs should start looking very closely at something else: the implosion of Europe. (Japan is in recession too)
http://tinyurl.com/4SIERR...

The Maastricht Treaty created the European System of Central Banks and the European Central Bank to head this system. The Treaty entrusted the European Central Bank with the responsibility for monetary policy, but it did not give this institution supervisory powers or an explicit mandate for providing emergency liquidity support to individual banks.

This explains why, at least temporarily, the dollar is rallying against the Euro. Once investors can see that neither of the two reserve currency titans (euro and dollar) is on a sound foundation, we will see a race to the bottom by the world's major currencies as each tries to devalue against other to protect exports.

This will signal the next gold bull rally. Once the ECB signals several rate cuts, gold will bounce like a rubber ball. In the mean time gold will continue to fall along with everything else (except the Yen and the Swissie) until market correction is complete and painful enough for the ECB to start cutting rates.

As for timing, now that the FED has control of both Fannie and Freddie, look for an increased possibility of a slight discount rate hike before year's end to keep commodity prices in check. Now that the FED controls directly home mortgage rates, the commercial banks can dump their bad paper directly into FHA, and the discount window now has a drive thur using a third party; a 1/4 point rate increase will not hurt anyone. Any rate increase will be see by Wall Street as a continuation of the bear stock market and a good reason to hedge with gold. Ultimately, gold will surge, once it becomes clear that the euro lacks the staying power to serve as an alternative to the dollar.

I was expecting gold & silver to make a jump not long after the official takeover of fannie/freddie was announced. The takeover will require so much money that the US simply does not have.

Not to worry,

I didnt know you were a ted head, or an investolator. This material is based on Ted Warrens great book. How to make the stock market make money for you

Daddy, your trading method

Daddy,
your trading method intrigues me! I am going to get intouch with you tomorrow! I think a person should buy physical and hold long term but for those who have a few extra bucks I do not see any reason not to dip a toe into some of the options you can figure out with your charts! in the long run metals will go up.. I think incredibly, but if you can take a few bucks and be able to play the ups and downs withing this bull market you can put some extra bank in your pocket and then buy more physical! interesting!

as for me and my home, we shall worship the LORD

LOLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

That last line is CLASSIC, E_Goldstein! I MUST remember it and use it in the future!

Excpet one could modify it to say " ...... and write in Dubya for a third term".

Thanks Akak,

but I can't take full credit. It's a bastardization and hybridization of something the professor and trollkiller thomas said last night. Of course, you may use it to your heart's desire.

There are so many things

There are so many things happening at the moment, most of which are unseen and yet looming under the surface ready to emerge with total debt in this country being 350% of GDP. Gold and Silver, no matter how much manipulation the "big boys" do, will not remain at low fiat levels for long.

Why no ETF's? In GLD the gold is held offshore in London. Safe?

the etf's are leasing your

the etf's are leasing your metal that they are supposed ton be holding for you! when they lease it, it helps depress the price and lets them manipiulate the price! you have to take the metal off the market so they can not use your investment against you! now i am not a financial guru by any means but you are best to buy physical and hold it! Ted butler proved that the silver ETF was doing just that.. leasing out the silver in the etf to keep the price down! basically in silver they are supplying the industial users so they don't panic and go ballistic and buy all silver to stockpile to keep the production lines open and then raising the price significantly! there just isn't much silver around I don't care what the dailytrolls say here on this site! go back and look at the price history of palladium! this will give you a clue as to what silver is in for!
