Russia Is Not Selling Gold, Bought 18t In November

If it was my decision, I wouldn't sell GOLD either.  See below for the facts, not the noise from the so-called rumor mill.

The obvious is sometimes the hardest to see (accept).  Mr. Stockman truly lays it out.  If you can tolerate the  ALL the obvious data than do NOT MISS THIS...

The current illusion of recovery is a result mainly of windfalls to the financial asset owning upper strata, the explosion of transfer payments funded with borrowed public money and another supply-side bubble—-this time in the energy sector and its suppliers and infrastructure.

US Resorts to Illegality to Protect Failed Policies

Gold manipulation is disclosed by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal.  Do you think that he might know about this stuff.

Swiss Gold Initiative PayPal Account Frozen

The powers that be are using any all efforts to bring the demise of the metal investor.  We must continue to $tack at these lower prices and know that when the SHTF we will be covered.

If you look at the stress tests in Europe, 25 banks failed.  But the stress test was devised in such a way that most banks passed.  Virtually all of them would have failed a normal stress test.  But even the banks which did not pass the test won’t have to take measures to pass at a later stage.  The bad debt in Europe is now over $1 trillion euros.  This will eventually mean even more massive money printing in Europe.  

So people need to be patient and focus on the fundamentals as the Western central planners push the gold and silver prices around one last time in their game of psychological warfare against hard asset investors.  Before this is over, Eric, the people invested in gold and silver will see the prices of the only true money the world has ever seen skyrocket.”

Central Bank Monetary Heroin: The 3rd Dose May Kill

While this demise of the metals is occurring, it becomes difficult to believe in oneself.  Then an article such as this comes along and hope springs back into the picture.  We are hard pressed to believe that we are right but know that the hard assets will persevere the coming demise of the dollar.  Continue to $tack gold and $ilver while they are on sale.

United States is now definitely "At Risk" for "Bail-ins"

The United States is no longer, if it ever was, immune from the ultimate blow, "Bail-ins".  The following details just what was said by the financial heads of the Federal Reserve.

Speaking about the steps that have been taken internationally in order to “strengthen the financial system” and to reduce the “probability of future financial crisis,” Fischer said that the U.S. was preparing proposals for bank bail-ins for “systemically important banks.”

If you still hold a lot of cash, now is the time to consider a conversion to hard assets like $ilver, gold, diamonds, jewelry and ammunition to name a few.

Silver outperforming

Is the bottom appearing in the precious metal markets?  Here is more evidence of the impending upturn in the $ilver market.

Silver outperformed gold this week, having risen about 5% from $19.05 to last night’s close at about $20. Intra-day movements have been the result of market-makers trying to work the price lower, because they are net short, and being squeezed by lack of genuine selling. This is illustrated in the chart below..

Is Confidence Returning to the Gold Markets?

It seems that the writing is on the wall so to speak.  The demand for gold is outweighing the supply.  We all know what that is suppose to mean.  The only fly in the ointment, is the IMF and its forces trying to keep the price down in order to save the Fed.

So is gold going to take off again?–Undoubtedly! But the timing of such a move remains obscure. This year, next year, sometime? Those who have an interest in the gold price remaining weak still have ammunition left, but it may be beginning to run low at last

Deutsche quits gold price-setting as regulators investigate fix | Reuters

Those of us that have already suspected this blatant manipulation of the precious metals markets, are convinced that this is just a "kink in the armor".  The banks will wiggle out of this with some over-inflated fines.  Interesting to see Deutsche getting out.

Gold Manipulation is outed!

Those of us that can read a chart already knew of this action in the commodity world.  It extends to all commodities but the gold manipulation is pertinent due to its monetary value.  The banks, just like we would if we had unlimited funds, buy and trade the commodities like currency.  The mere fact that position limits seem non-existent for the banks give them the advantage on both sides of the trade.  Here we have the media and a professor chiming in.

How Often has the Fed Tightened in December?

Even if the Fed chooses to reduce stimulus this month, it still leaves monetary policy extremely accommodative. So while history suggests that the central bank will prefer to wait until after the holidays to reduce monthly bond buys, knowing that they are delaying the inevitable, December tapering is still on the table.

Rigging the Gold Market

Thanks to Pinnacle Digest for this concise look at the blatant manipulation of the metals markets.

While the exact amount is unknown, paper gold supply greatly exceeds physical. The fact that we have a paper gold system tells you just how distorted things have become.  In reality, the paper gold market is no different than a fractional reserve banking system, where there is many times more paper contracts in circulation than there is actual physical gold.

Dr. Antal Fekete on Real Bills, Quantity of Money Theory and the New Austrian Economic Manifesto

The rising of the gold price in reality is the irreversible long-term decline in the value of the dollar; the falling of the gold price in reality is a temporary strengthening of the dollar for whatever, mostly irrelevant, reasons. There is absolutely no symmetry between the two events. Moreover, this is as it ought to be, since the dollar is nothing but a dishonored promise to pay gold.
