Blythe Masters Reminds The RICO Club She Hasn't Been Fired Yet As Gold Chart Exhibits Thor's Hammer Formation

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Another perfectly normal 6-sigma gold manipulation day where as gold was about to break $1,400, out of nowhere suddenly arrives JP Morgan's very own Blythe Masters. Elsewhere, the Comex check their spot gold screen, sighs, and switches over the SEC-endorsed porn channel. In other words: everything can be sold, except stocks as a down day (now that it is confirmed that banks pledge equity as collateral to their central banks and thus will blow up should market crash) means the Ponzi is failing. That can not happen.

Below, gold demonstrates the Thor's Hammer formation made so trivial by JPM's commodities trading desk.

Blythe Masters, and others of her ilk, operate without fear.  They are untouchable.  Hopefully, they will not be untouchable forever.

I have been out of gold since $1365 per ounce was a new all time [nominal] high and have felt virtually naked ever since.  I have held off on buying for this very reason.  For as the Fed has had to target Average Joes everywhere trying to protect their wealth in bonds and T bills, so too must investment banks target PMs to force folk into crappy stocks.

So too long only firms must sell short shares of VXX that do not exist, and manipulate puts on VIX...to make stocks go up.

But of course, all you guys here know this stuff...and I share the sickening frustration of watching all of this happen.

Fire The Bernank and close the Fed doors.

Dude, what were you thinking, exiting at $1365?  Only 6 months left to live or something?

Most gold holders are waiting until gold isn't even priced in USD to cash out (or back in to the system, as it were)

I fully expect the prices for PM's to gyrate wildly after the Great Implosion:  First up by some ridiculous amount, followed by a complete crash -- this cycle might even happen more than once -- before the Earth stabilizes on it's axis once again and PM's settle on their true values.  Wait till after the deluge to whip out the PM's to buy towels!

From the Bloomberg article posted above:

"Even so, competitors are “scared shitless of us,” said Masters, who is based in New York and joined the bank in 1991 after internships that began in 1987. “They’d better be, because this is a platform that’s going to win.”

By platform, I suppose this snatch means being able to break all the CTFC rules with impunity.

Relax. So JPM won a minor skirmish this afternoon. If you hold gold does that mean you are going to beat feet to the nearest pawn shop in the hope they will take your gold off your hands? No

It's an insurance policy you buy and hold. When it breaks 1400 bucks US and then 1100 bucks EC you will wish you used this as an opportunity to add a little more insurance. 

If you are day trading in gold futures this is the game. Blythe got her ass handed to her this month and last. She will get her ass handed to her next month as well.

Unless you got crack in your veins the name of the game is physical. Buy it. Hold it. If nothing else you sleep better. I play the paper markets but only through the miners and explorers. I pay attention to Blythe and her buddies only in so far as it messes with my stocks. The day to day crap on the Comex will have you scribbling on the walls only if you let it. Sit tight and be right and all that. Gold has stayed solidly over 1000 euros and euros is all about the physical. People are crapping themselves in Euroland. Smart ones are buying and holding. The herd is off in the distance still grazing on paper though. 

The bottom line is Gold hasn't peaked and maybe even JPM will capitulate eventually and go long. So yeah, I am relaxed about it. I can see the end game being played out and I have no doubts about my positions.

Nobody panic if we test $1375 tomorrow.  Blythe tried to do it today, but she failed and she is spoiled and she will try to do it again, and with Asia higher, I could see the street taking profits on anything and everything.  Yet with the whiteness wedged to land on Reality Lake, anything is possible.

Support at $1385 Blythe can not break.

Platinum daily support at $1678

Gold support at $1388

Silver support ar $28.35

All support still in line.

Bernanke was wrong so many times, or lied so many times. Who can be wrong 100% ? Perhaps The Bernank  is actively planning and counting on failure. The IMF is waiting to save us all.

Me, i think its a planned demolition. Central Bankers and their helpers work well together enriching each other with our complyance.

Economics, in its standard form, is a mess.  Nobody knows the difference between cyclical and structural.  Nobody understands environmental data points such as EROEI, production levels of finite resources.  Nobody understands FIAT is a means of wealth transfer and nothing more.

It is not a science, it is a philosophy,and under current trend, it is similar to philosophy before the breakthrough of metaphysics.  Before then, God was Needed to prove theory/theorems.  Now we understand that much of the world is as we create it.

Then again, there is a segment that we do not.  This input has never been properly discussed in academia.  It is a fallacy.  This fallacy has lead to the demise of this economy.

In other words, we do not truly have commodities futures markets. These exchanges, especially in precious metals and oil, are merely mechanisms masquerading as true markets in which trading monopolies and oligopolies dictate prices over the short to medium term (mostly to benefit their OTC derivatives positions). Boy oh boy, I can hardly wait to invest my money in that (sarcasm).

The winds of Thor are blowing cold. 
They're wearing steel that's bright and true 
They carry news that must get through. 

They choose the path where no-one goes. 

They hold no quarter. 

Walking side by side with death, The devil mocks their every step 
The snow drives back the foot that's slow, The dogs of doom are howling more 
They carry news that must get through, To build a dream for me and you 

They choose the path where no-one goes. 

They hold no quarter. They ask no quarter. 
The pain, the pain without quarter. 
They ask no quarter. 
The dogs of doom are howling more!

I understand that JPM are doing the Fed's bidding and short PMs to promote the colour of the USD.  But the US has all the gold with 8,000 tons, or so (ok, this figure might be massaged without an audit...).

But the point is, why doesn't the US adopt a policy of long PMs?  They don't have the manufacturing base or the bank balance anymore, but they are believed to have the majority of the gold.  That "fact" could be used to stop the slow bleed away from dollar usage?

I was trying to figure out the why today...  At first it seemed just technical, Silver cracked $29 at the high, but gold failed to crack the $1,400 level.  OK, fine, pull back for another run...

Then it struck me, like a 100 oz bar falling on my foot.  Tomorrow is the Jobs Number (Employment or Unemployment as the case may be....)!

And I remembered the Andrew Maguire statements by GATA's Adrian Douglas at the CFTC hearing, and the interview at King World News, and elsewhere.

Why get so worked up about the short term?
Doing so would seem to indicate that you don't have confidence in your
choice and are easily shaken out.

Seriously folks, .... if you believe in gold as a store of value then why
this public moaning session. It makes you seem like fair weather sailors.

As I see it, a dramatic quick rising of gold is a sign of a storm drawing near.
Better that gold meanders and farts around. For that means we get to live
on borrowed time a bit longer. A time when the dollar buys a heck of alot
of the worlds goods. A time of (don't laugh) relative stability.

The day your gold becomes 'priceless' is the day you'll need to quit work
and spent all day guarding your home and goods with a shotgun.
That will be on account of the dollar system imploding.

Long term that might be for the good,
but likey short-to-intermediate term it'll be chaos.

There's no 'good' way out of this mess.
