Fresh all time nominal high in spot gold: $1,427.01

Check out our latest PsychoNews story: Funny Money, Manic Markets, & Obsolete Media

http://psychonews.site90.net

"The media continues to serve purely as the mouthpiece of the Oligarchy.  Its not so much what is reported, as what ISN'T reported, and how news is prioritized, that is the problem. 

A lot of attention is given to gossip, celebrity 'news' (the worship of glamour), and a host of other sensationalist BS. The content of the latest WikiLeaks is a fitting example, as surely more vital documents could have been leaked.  It revealed only that diplomats talk behind each others backs like giddy schoolgirls."

Oh my God, FUCK that hyper-politically-correct, intolerant, close-minded, capricious and hypocritical, power-hungry Canadian fascist stormtrooper of a so-called "moderator"!  That bastard banned me several times for the slightest and most laughable of "offenses", but mainly I am sure because I had the temerity to confront the insulting lies and anti-gold propaganda of Kitco's dear spokesman, Jon "Gold is NOT in a bull market, but it IS in a bubble!" Nadler.

That Kitco forum is a virtual gulag of repression and suppression of free thought.  It is a joke and a mockery of everything a REAL online forum should be.

Yes, akak, I hear you, I was warned multiple times and banned once, a "moderated forum", at least that's what they call it, as they have, is a tad different from here.  They have a nice little penny stock section which is where I spend most of my time, a few people have some good info, like BTG above, and if I feel the need to slander Jon Nadler I just do it somewhere else.  A case of the pro's outweighing the cons.

They have just taken an 80+% long position in the copper market. Can't see the LBMA changing the rules against this long. Imagine the price of copper and then the price of silver, if they were told to cover their silver short and also to liquidate their copper contracts. Nice to have friends in high places.

Well, the regulators haven't the expertise to track down who made those trades and so no liquidation orders will be given. Can't act on what you don't/won't see.

Speaking of unladylike, (not-so-subtle-segue, here...)  Does Janet Napolitano NOT look exactly like what you always imagined one of Orwell's or Rand's jack-booted thugs would look like?  Doesn't she look about as a-sexual and un-human as a(n) alleged human can be?

 

She, quite frankly, scares the ever-loving fuck out of me.  I would kiss The Bernank on the lips to avoid shaking hands with The Napolitano.

In recent days, rumors have been swirling on the internet that JPM's massive short position is about to blow up in their face in the form of an almighty short squeeze and potential COMEX default as large traders demand physical delivery of silver that COMEX does not have in their vaults.


In the overnight futures session on Sunday night, silver is currently trading 2.27% higher at $29.935. SOMETHING IS GOING ON. Making matters worse for JPM is the fact that a viral campaign (Crash JP Morgue Video) to buy physical silver and "crash" the bank is now spreading like wildfire on the internet.

"Retro time"

"On that December 18 day nearly two years ago, the price of silver was $11.08, From the LemetropoleCafe commentary back then…

The meeting with Bart Chilton went on as scheduled and lasted about 50 minutes. The surprise was that there were three others from the CFTC who attended, including the Deputy General Counsel. One of the other attendees at our meeting had already viewed the Gold Rush 21 video. {*a must view, 8 hr. video available @ www.gata.org }

Bart listened intently and took notes, as did one of the others, and asked numerous questions. Basically, I laid out our GATA presentation as I explained in the Sunday Midas. I am not going to get into all the details of what they said, as we will see what takes place in the months to come … except to say that I chuckled when saying to them if they really wanted to comprehend what the real gold price suppression scheme is all about, all they have to do is go to their new Chairman … at the right time. No one knows what is going on better than he does.

I did not hold back and said the main culprit of The Gold Cartel was our own government (their own boss), who has been in league with bullion banks JP Morgan Chase, and others, to suit their own hidden agenda.

Naturally, I drew parallels to the Madoff scandal and how the SEC ignored 9 years worth of probes into the Ponzi scheme. I also laid out how and that why what is occurring in gold and silver could lead to a much bigger scandal in the years ahead if the price suppression scheme is not aborted.

That is because The Gold Cartel is running out of enough ammunition (available central bank gold) to meet the growing annual supply/demand deficit.

I was very impressed with Bart Chilton (very sharp guy) and he mentioned that my trip to D.C. would not be in vain. There are two things for sure. As in the Madoff scandal, no one can say the powers that be didn’t get the full scoop, and the facts about the gold price suppression scheme … what has happened and why. And if there is one person in Washington who will throw his hat in the ring to get to the gold truth, this is the man."

RT has been long PMs since at least 2004. (I used to follow him in a previous incarnation where he posted pics of the bars he'd just bought, and wrote some great rants about the PREVIOUS gigantic credit bubble.) He makes fun of gold bugs to try to maintain his mental balance, I guess.

Now here's a great piece of gold bear history:

http://www.safehaven.com/article/3039/gold-to-200-silver-350

"Gold to $200, Silver $3.50 By: Steve Moyer | Sun, May 8, 2005

I'm not going to mention any names here but you gold and silver bugs (and columnists) just crack me up. As soon as gold and silver prices drop, as they continue to do as we speak, the conspiracy theories begin.

I'm not going to mention any names here but you gold and silver bugs (and columnists) just crack me up. As soon as gold and silver prices drop, as they continue to do as we speak, the conspiracy theories begin. Enter the court jesters, the jugglers, the monkey grinders and the clowns with the pants that fall down. You fellows really should take a step back and read your own stuff.

From the end of the SF Chronicle article linked above:

"Readers who are interested in learning more about this story are encouraged to do follow up research and post comments. Those who wish to participate in squeezing the living daylights out of JPM, may want to consider buying physical silver, silver futures and SLV.

Keep a close eye on this market during the coming week..."

I knew this day was coming but I never thought it would be this much fun!

In case you want to trade the paper ETF's consider PSLV and PHYS by Eric Sprott - from what I hear he is really storing the stuff and actually is enjoying the current squeeze on the banksters - CHEERS!

Yes, every ounce the Sprott Physical Trust (PSLV) has is verified and stored in the Canadian Mint (backed by the Candian Gov't).  The trust owns 10,000 London Good Delivery Bars of silver, which vary in size but are roughly 1000 oz bars.  You may redeem your shares of the trust for actual physical silver, however, they have a minimum redemption amount of 10 London Good Delivery Bars, plus all related administrative, shipping and handling expenses.  So you'd probably need something like 25,000 shares in order to actually redeem for physical.  The important thing to know is there is a set procedure to convert your shares to physical and the physical is actually held in a vault!

 

I own PSLV now, and think it's a good idea for the short term considering what's going on (holiday squeeze?).  Wouldn't be caught dead holding SLV.  At one point today PSLV was up close to 7% while SLV was up just around 3%.  Sign of things to come?

 

In the long term, I'd recommend buying actual physical silver instead.  The PSLV trust sells it's silver over time to cover all of its expenses.  I think this works out to something like 0.8% a year using recent prices.  In other words, the amount of silver the trust holds is going to gradually decline forever.  If the price of silver is really low, it could impact their holdings significantly as many of their expenses are fixed so they'd have to sell more silver to cover them.  Not a big deal for shorter term type trades (days, weeks, months) but over many years can add up.

Why not use price and volume dynamics to dicern where possible targets lie? What do you do? Hold and hope? That sounds like a true sheep.

 Because you have no idea how to "dicern" anything; there are no heads and shoulders; hold and hope produces profits in bull markets; sounds like success. You just failed. you're pretty mouthy for someone who doesn't know what they're doing. Try put some money on these delusional chart readings of yours; you'll sober up fast.

2River,

His IQ is so high it makes him socially inept, just ignore.  Speaking of charts, Au is still following its 2 year trend and trading range.  I believe many here (including the Turd) are expecting a positive slope change about now...the proverbial parabolic there-she-blows moment.  Any thoughts on the indicator?  (Sorry TF, if I'm typing words into your avatar's mouth...no offense)

well, to be honest when people around here hear "sell gold," they think you mean their vast stockpiles of krugerrands, instead of just as a short or IT trade.  I also called for a paper short from IAU 13.5 to 13.0 then a wait for H&S confirm and if an up close to go long with both fists

Who do you think was painting those tops? The EE has a strong incentive to suppress the price of gold for reasons that probably don't need explanation.

Maybe they were painting the top and maybe they weren't. I don't concern myself with manip. Until Gold broke 1400, it had a legitimate top potential. That formation is gone and now we should see follow through on the upside. Some of you guys need hobbies.

You were calling a H&S top in silver last week even when the chart clearly shows an inverse H&S and resulting breakout.Learn how to read a chart before you profess to know how to do so.
