Egypt Bans Export Of Gold "In Any Form"
Looks like speculation that the Egyptian Central Bank's gold stash may have been just modestly plundered is starting to play out. According to Reuters. "Egypt has issued a ministerial decree
immediately banning the export of gold in all its forms, including
jewellery and ornaments, until June 30, the official news agency MENA
said on Sunday. "This decision, which comes in light of the
exceptional circumstances the country is passing through ..., is to
preserve the country's wealth until the situation stabilises," MENA
said. Egypt's currency has come under pressure after some of the
country's main sources of foreign currency, including tourism and
foreign investment, collapsed after the protests that ousted President
Hosni Mubarak erupted on Jan. 25." Obviously, this "emergency" step would not be required if the E(gyptian)CB was still in full possession of its purported stash of the inedible metal. Whether the decline is due to alleged Mubarak sequestering of the shiny metal, or by other members of the former ruling regime is unclear, but one thing is certain: the WGC is long overdue in adjusting the Egyptian gold holdings from 75.6 tonnes to their real current value... far lower. As for Egyptian fiat: that is as freely exportable now as ever. If only anyone wanted it. But yes, somehow emerging markets are manipulating their currencies lower than fair value, the conventional wisdom claims.

Don't worry it could NEVER happen here!
Enough of my other favorite subject for a while from me. Peek awareness has been achieved.
Now for the end run around strategy, engage.
GOLD!
Egypt has determined gold is of great value as it has always been throughout history. Gold = Enemy of Fiat.
We must now demand a US audit of Fort Knox. Where's America's gold and is it really there?
If I can get you guys to repeat the words "Fort Knox Gold", "Show me the Gold", Where's the Gold", etc over the next week about 5,000 times, The rest of the country will become obsessed with auditing the US Gold supply and force our government to show it to us.
Demand the US government show us our gold!
I don't get it. I see all this audit ft knox business, but why bother?
If people find out there is 800 tons of tungsten in ft knox, what difference will it make? Bretton Woods was over so many years ago nobody even knows what it was. So who gives a shit? It's not like the soccer mom is going to think twice about it when she finds out. Will it matter to a Chinese or Arab exporter that Ft. Knox is the most expensive tungsten storage facility on planet Earth? I don't think so, since they of course, get paid in dollars.
The only gold anybody should be concerned with is their own. And the protection thereof from their peers and government.
Why do people climb mountains?
Fareed Zakaria GPS of CNN interviewed Michael Lewis today discussing his book, The Big Short. It was awesome.
If someone could Youtube it for us, that would be great.

Thanks for the link. I needed that. There must be a much longer version talking about a lot of other things.
I heard Lewis talking about the origins of the Tea Party, why they got started and the Federal Reserve. He said no one was talking about this before the Ron Paul movement.
okay, here are your choices:
a) $100 in U.S. currency (aka a "benjamin")
b) 3 ounces of silver
c) one barrel of oil (west texas crude)
right now, i'm choosing the oil.
Or:
a) $100,000 US (aka 1,000 benjamins)
b) 3,000 oz. silver
c) 1,000 barrels of oil
Where are you planning on storing the oil or if the merde hits the fan, how are you going to sneak out of Dodge with your stuff? Got fire insurance?
the silver is easy to store. divided into 4 locations. home and 3 safe deposit boxes in different cities. this is what 100 ounces looks like, so multiply by 30:
http://www.tulving.com/bullion/NTR%2010%20oz%20silver%20bar.jpg
as for 1,000 barrels of oil, or $100,000 worth, i'll take 600 shares of XOM and 500 shares of CVX --- same as owning oil in the ground.
my last choice is to own rapidly depreciating fiat dollars.
"same as owning oil in the ground."
Ummm.....no. shares are not convertible into oil and paper is never the same as owning something real and useful
shares of common stock is not the same as fiat money. the fed reserve does what they damn well please when it comes to printing federal reserve notes (money), but exxon isn't about to issue new shares and dilute the existing shareholders! that would require a vote of the board of directors and it is very unlikely, and if they do it, they better have a good reason. buying shares of common means you are buying a percentage of the company, although rather small at our level. buying exxon isn't exactly the same as owning the oil itself but it's the next best thing and a practical solution to owning an appreciating asset.
Exxon doesn't have to issue new shares. Wall St. naked shorters can do it instead. When the SHTF why do you think the PTB will let you have access to your safe deposit boxes without a cop watching you (and confiscating the contents for "safe keeping").
It seems to me that Cisco shares have been created to be used as fiat currency. Why not an oil or mining company? I'm pretty sure that's been tried too.
I thought your first choice was oil, not silver.
if oil goes up, for whatever reason, it doesn't make sense that there will be alot of money shorting XOM or CVX. if it turns in to a bubble or goes parabolic, then you might be right. although oil is my first choice, i'm bullish on silver and gold because, as you know, the privately owned federal reserve is destroying the dollar. and your advice on safe deposit boxes is noted. if things start to get really bad, the only thing left in there will be my birth certificate. some of us have one. and yes CSCO is junk but that doesn't mean all stocks are.
Did you miss the part where FIAT is worthless?
It matters becuase when ft. knox is found empty, my gold is much more valuable.
The gold is still there....and lots of it.
Ehhh... there was an audit????
It doesn't matter because Gold is not money. Isn't that what we keep hearing? CB's store it, history proves, and Egypt seems to know... but to the general public Gold is supposed to just be a barbaric relic nobody really needs. The average schmoe out there could care less what's in fort Knox.
Of course, the average schmoe doesn't decide world economics now, does he. Pretty soon, the reality of want VS need is going to be dramatically revised. ;)
This I can agree with. However, a CRIMEX default will make that point known when silver blows up, so again, there is no need for political action. There is only a need for unified physical purchasing. Something many here have been advocating for quite some time.

Let me see if I have this straight....the country is burning.....and the first major action is about gold?
......sounds about right.
Since Mubarak has already stolen it all, I guess this law is timely.
Did Mubarak steal it or did his puppet master?
maybe he just "leased it"
Best comment of the day!
BOOYAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goldbugs Alert : scared of the US or EU Govts grabbing your Gold? Export your spangly stuff for safe storage in Egypt, they won't let it out.. sorted.
Well, at least not until June 30.
or you can just mail them to me and i'll "store" them for you guys for FREE!!!
storing your gold with me will be so safe that neither the government nor YOU will be able to find them (or me). it's THAT safe. :)
between this and the Royal Mint of Canada reporting difficulty sourcing silver, i'd say PM shortage headlines are right around the corner; though i think they can pave over the blow up in the paper market with more paper; for a while

Bullish for gold. The opposite of CB sales is restrictions. New highs right soon.

Someone here at ZH yesterday made a good case for New Brunswick, as it is milder in climate than interior W. Canada and cheaper as well. Cheap farmland.
at least some will be left; unless the good ol' US of A invades egypt. Then it will be adjusted to zero, as the zionist usa is best known for plundering real assets of every nation it invades.
of course this wealth does not belong to individuals it belongs to the state, the new democratic paradise created in just 9 days!!!
This is something I've always wondered about. if the world is balkanized to it's pre-globalized form, governments will be free to pass laws such as this, essentially leading to massive inter-country arbitrage and a very very unstable price for all commodities (PM's especially). india already has massive precedent for blocking trading, especially futures on essentials without notice. Investor eats his loss, force majure. Part of thsi end-game fascination. No idea what is coming tomorrow.

Good observation ORI.
Such arbitrary trade restrictions have hurt India a lot in the past. And that this kind of thing could become a much bigger problem in the future.
Me too re no idea what is coming tomorrow. NAFC!
Not to be crude, but... I know exactly what's coming tomorrow. I have a date with Robo's avatar.
On 'a nuther' note, do we really want Ft Knox to be audited? Price of Au would likely launch skyward, but finding tungsten or nothing at all would force the gov to do things they elsewise wouldn't have treaded...like actually sealing the borders so no one goes OUT for cap controls, and self-defeating house to house searches (with accompanied gun fire). This wouldn't be the case if it's existence was left unknown, where gov plausible denial is left intact, and only confiscation by means of 'paper gold' is prevalent.
this article states that gold is wealth. this is news to me and the rest of the msm as dollars are the only wealth we know.
psst asotavb: don't let on that I told you this, but there are folks around here who are kinda' slow. Be a sport and help 'em out. Use some fake HTML, they won't know any better. Use the tag </sarc> and they MIGHT pick up on it.
Good Luck!

haha /sarc ill remember that for next time.
Since the price of tungsten has increased dramatically, I'm sure that there are bars of something at Ft Knox for any casual, non-assayed inspection. So that's a dead end. Sorry to break the hopium bubble.
This is a major story. The fact that they are publicly stating that gold is a store of wealth is a tacit recognition that gold is money. The bottom line is that most investment advisors do not consider gold money or a hedge against inflation.
If you would have bought gold in 1971 at $35 it would be worth $1400 today. That is not an investment? So be it, you still can't invest in it with most (nearly all) 401(k) funds.
Why not? It is considered too risky. The irony is amazing. Investing in the stock market is risky, not gold. All gold has done is gone up for 10 straight years. You would think that the investment community would change their tune. But they haven't. My friend asked his investment advisor about gold and was told, "We don't invest in gold related assets."
As more stories such as this (Egypt baning exports of gold) surface, people are going to wake up to the fact that physical gold is not a bad idea. Once this happens the mania phase will begin. It's not that far away.
When you consider that in 1980, 20% of stock investments were gold or silver related, and today the number is around 2%, you can see the potential for an explosive move into precious metal stocks.
When you consider that perhaps 1% of the public owns physical gold or silver in substantial quanty, the potential for shortages is enormous once a move to physical begins. Especially in silver.
I think Egypt and now Libya was the carnary in the gold mine. It was a big signal to buy.
Got gold?
Hmmm... Someone in Egypt thinks gold is wealth. Let's see, the pyramids are 5000 years old and were filled with:
a) Paper Currency
b) Account Statement of Pharaoh's Special Drawing Rights
c) XXXX (The word that cannot be typed...)
d) IOUs
e) Silver??? (sorry, but the other word cannot be typed so I put this instead)
Good points. Perhaps around $2,000 per ounce (I give it 12 months) the Barrons and IBDs of the world will start questioning why gold is not more popular in the average, highly restricted 401(k) or IRA accounts (the great majority of which can't short either).
Then at $2500/oz. (late next year) there will be a loud clamor.
401(k) and managed IRAs are the aphids of the investment structure.
If “money” is ever to be made a servant of mankind, and not continue to be his master, then we must begin by taking great care to distinguish clearly between “money” as “store of value”, and “money” as “currency”.
It is through enforcing the use of "currency" that is also perceived to be a "store of value" - either due 'intrinsic' worth of the "currency" (ie, gold/silver coin), or by artificially-created perceptions (ie, offering interest on stored currency) - that TPTB control us. Our socially-engineered false perceptions that "currency" should be a "store of value" is the means by which TPTB have positioned themselves to control the supply / ebb-flow of "money" in the system; thus, control the system itself.
Until we act to completely separate the "currency" from the "store of value" - and ensure that noone has the power to control either - then we will continue to be their slaves.
And we'd best hurry up about it, given what BoE's Mervyn King has suggested will be their next "solution" -

You know it's interesting you mention this. My view is that gold is money, and one can't "invest" in money because by definition an investment is something _other than money_ that provides a return - stocks that pay a dividend being a classic example.
Silver is interesting because it's use in dollars was about as popular with bankers as the various bailouts are with the public today - not very. Outside of the Old West, they didn't circulate much and piled up in banks by the millions, used as reserves. At times they were only legal tender in amounts up to five dollars. 16 to 1? Hardly.
Try to get a self-directed IRA equivalent of teh 401K. Maybe they're available. Custodian holds physical PM.
I wonder; why silver is flying so far under the radar that even the governments are leaving it alone at this point???
Because it's not available in volume.
China is accumulating.
A central bank, plundered?
Say it ain't so!
maybe Egypt will be the first country to actually do something with their criminal bankers.
See Iceland
no viking descendents in Egypt
Perhaps not... the Tut, Ramses II, Thutmose, etc had red hair and white skin.
This is very bearish for gold/silver.
Tyler, do you think its time to explain how IMF SDR works?
For example..
January 2011
http://www.imf.org/external/np/tre/sdr/sdrbasket.htm
Valuation
http://www.imf.org/external/np/fin/data/rms_sdrv.aspx
2/25/2011 SDR = 0.637118
Ounce of Silver XAG: 0.02979971936389149
Help the ZH Peasants understand the larger picture. Thank you.
This is not bearish for gold/silver. A basket of fiat in no way will diminish the value of physical gold/silver. Make the SDR worth whatever you want. Until an SDR-like product encompasses a basket of physical assets that an SDR would be used for anyways, then it is as meaningful as the FRN itself.
Otherwise, why do you even need an SDR if it is nearly half FRN? Only the Euro has any actual gold backing it and the ECB is doing everything in their power to screw that up, too.
OT: Silver eagle rolls going all weekend on Ebay for between $775-$800 a roll(roughly $39-$40 each)
The SDR will be the last gasp of the corrupt and dying fiat monetary status-quo. With the Euro on its deathbed, it is laughable to even discuss such a one-world fiat currency.
Let's see, I have the odious option of choosing to conduct business using dogshit, horseshit, pigshit or pidgeonshit as money. I know what's better, let's lump them all together in one basket! Yeah, that solves everything!
awesome analogy

Good seeing you around again akak!
You too DoChen!
Now where's that raccoon been hiding lately?
So many garbage cans to pillage, so little time...:>D
You did it! I just decided to steal that analogy and use it in polite company. Thanks Akak.

Jim Rickards on King World News predicts the same, the SDR is next. It is the last. In 2008 America turned the private debt into sovereign debt, and the ECB is turning sovereign debt into "regional" debt through sovereign bond purchases. Next up is the global central bank, the IMF, re-liquifying everything with $100 trillion in new debt. But there's no one after that - no one to buy the SDR bonds and put their better credit rating on them.
I don't think they'll get there. I think the fiat currency regime will collapse before they get an SDR bond market going. If they do get there - it can only delay the inevitable. It's incredibly immoral, to make the entire population of the globe slaves to a debt accrued before they were born.
Excellent summation, Donut.
HEY-pigshit is the BEST!

The flash crash is your rebuttal as to why the SDR is bearish for physical gold and silver?
Shouldn't that actually weaken your original hypothesis?
So what is my original Hypothesis? Mind laying the grand plan? Shed light on why gold/silver will not explode.
We all are waiting with baited breath, share your theories.
OK, so an SDR is around 1g of silver.
SDR issuance tied to gold reserves in ratio terms, coming to a central bank near you.
As things stand that's extremely unlikely. The current IMF-types reject gold in any form as part of the SDR valuation. I think to admit there needs to be a reserve ratio of gold is to admit the fiat currency era is already over.
The Chinese may insist on gold being in the basket.
I think the kids are fighting over that right now.
Never!
Central banks would willngly tighten money supplies, raise interest rates, and force a depression before giving up the flexibility of fiat. You want to make dollars scarce and valuable? A depression will do that quite nicely.
Even in the unlikely result of hyperinflation and legal tender repudiation, the rejected currency was always replaced by another fiat currency. I cant think of any twentieth century examples of fiat repudiation leading to a gold standard. The brief return of a gold standard in the UK was not due to fiat repudiation. In fact the gold standard was quickly repudiated.
I think you need to extend your historical horizons a bit --- both China and the newly-independent United States both totally repudiated fiat money, among many others. It is only in the benighted last century, the age of worldwide central banking, that such has not happened ---- yet. But it will, my friend, count on it, because it must, or civilization dies.
Civilization as we have known it will die. Those are the cards in the deck. I don't see any big movment in this country to change things. The name of the game is now, get along just get along, and perhaps it aways has been that way
Standing in line for the abbatoir is NOT my idea of getting along...:>(

i'm surprised Tyler didn't pick up on either one...
Yes. I would like scenario based explanations of the information posted at Jim Sinclair's site. Please and thank you for an article here explaining this.
Funny how the "useless metal" finds itself embroiled in legal strictures during a time of chaos such as this. I thought gold was supposed to be irrelevant?
Or maybe JohnnyBravo convinced the Egyptian Central Bank that they were going to lose just too much on the buy/sell ratio.

Yes, I was thinking about that too. Does this mean no wedding rings when flying?
Re bearish/bullish : I think that every time there is news about gold it makes the sleeping public more aware. Drawing attention to it is bullish. Adding restrictions to it's ownership is bearish. On balance, I would see this as neutral.
Final thought: is this the start of FOFOAs "freegold"? Expect an unknown physical gold price before it's revalued multiples higher as an international store of value function. Hmmmmm....
Thats going to leave a mark!
Note: Jewelry too. If you are a tourist with a wedding ring you can't take it home?
Will they do the same here when (not if) the get around to confiscation?
Snap on the rings idea. Precious!!

Yeah, I'm sure this ban on exportation includes the robber class still in control there. And, big surprise, Mubarak is probably still running the show there by remote control and his thugs certainly are. A current interview with someone on the scene:

Not worthless fiat paper promises of insolvent governments.

fat finger..of gold..
During the Asian Financial Crisis (1997 onwards ) the Thai government encouraged citizens to hand over their gold jewellery to be melted down for central bank reserves.
Incredibly, people were dumb enough to do it. I guess just as in Egypt people seem to be dumb enough to believe that handing power to the same military bureaucrat who has helped keep them under the thumb for so many years is going to make a difference.
Egypt has a history of having it's gold plundered. I bet that gold is across the Red Sea by now, and the chariots are a long long way away.
What I can't figure out is , if things were so bad in Egypt, if they were slaves , and if they were so many (estimated at about 1.5 million or so) then why did they stay there 400 years? Also it has been stated that they took everything in Egypt that was not nailed down and fled across dry land through the Red Sea and when they had crossed the Egyptian army that was pursuing them drowned. So let me get this straight. They left Egypt in a rush after stealing a lot of stuff and they were heavily weighed down with goods etc and then they cross the red sea on dry land to Sinai and then to Canaan. Wait a minute. Point of order here. Egypt in those days extended all the way to Tyre , did it not. One would assume that the Egyptian garrisons in Canaan would have been pissed off just a tad to hear of their comrades being killed in the Red Sea crossing and perhaps they would have decided to shall we say, harass God's chosen in Canaan, much less Sinai? Hmmmm ??? Maybe I should ask John Hagee?
Dagnabbit, HPD will you quit talking about those people for once??? Ha ha ha
Hilarious! But of course one gets hopelessly bogged down in trying to analyze the "truth" of mythology and fairy tales.
Oh, and you forgot about that magical talking Ark of the Covenant, which just happened to disappear from Jerusalem with nary a whisper about it in the Bible.
Some fools are now saying that Noah had dinasaurs on the boat he built, I kid you not. The modern thinking on this is that the carbon dating system we now have is bogus because the flood washed out some of the atmosphere etc. I keep thinking about that ship that Noah built floating around and having a pair of Brachiosaurus's necks and heads sticking out of the top of that boat etc. Oh well.
Not to mention that just two of every species known to exist would more than fill the ark beyond its Biblically-stated volume, not to mention the room needed for food, movement, etc. Not to mention that any species reduced to two members is already doomed to extinction due to genetic inbreeding, not to mention that no wooden vessel of such dimensions has ever been built, for the good reason that no such wooden vessel could have possibly been seaworthy due to the inherent mechanical qualities of even the strongest wood ....
Paul Bunyan and his blue ox Babe gave Noah a helping hand...and a very large axe!
nevermind that certain species indigenous to places Noah couldn't sail would not have gotten there. Nor that there would be no surviving freshwater species. Most insects also gone.
I still can't get a cogent explanation for where the water came from either. Or where it "receded" to.
"Pre-deluvian" earth may have been quite different than the earth after the flood. Some contend the rainbow for instance, was not visable from the earth's surface before the flood because the radiant energy was filtered by layers of waters above the planet that fell to the face of the earth in the first "rain".
These additional waters may have subsequently gathered at the polar caps in the form of ice that may well have been non existent in the "pre-deluvian" time frame. Aging processes for beings during that period are listed as lasting much longer before the flood and are recorded in the biblical account as diminishing afterward.
If humans are said to live for centuries, it's easy to assume many animals may have too. Aging mammals, reptiles and other creatures would have therefore grown / developed into quite different specimens than their cousins seen in todays accelerated lifespans.
Of course pre-history is open for conjecture but the biblical account as the consummate foundation of the Mosaic, Abrahamic and subsequent Christian belief systems at least has the virtue of a monolithic and single point of origin much like even the most advanced scientific explanations as to our personal beginnings.
Just a few thoughts.
By the way, make no mistake about it. They have been feverously searching for the ark of the covenant, for a very long time and have been unable to find it. But have no fear, if they can't find it, then some Israeli professor will make one up and then say it is the original, even though this is fraudulent. But what the hey, its for a good cause, isn't it? I mean, its not like this has not been done before. Also strangest things, they have not been able to find any artifacts from the David and Solomon Kingdoms when they can find artifacts for various other kingdoms around here and there such as Petra etc. Weird is all I can say. And yet, the American army goes into Iraq, probably the birthplace of Adamic man, and utterly destroys and nukes (with DU) the place so that no one will ever be able to live there again and we call ourselves Christian people. What a strange world we live in now.
but but but, gold doesn't have anything to do with currency ???? does it??????

Unlike you Egyptians and Nigerians who tried to fuck us up with fraudulant scams every second day I'll ensure that it kept safe.
Yup Really
From a different thread:
Gosh, man - that would be great. My account is at the 14th National Bank of Zimbabwe, West Street Branch in New York City, and is in my name with the account #1000-6969-666. Be sure to notify me after the funds have been deposited by calling 212 902-0300 and ask for Dick McNeil. All my best and THANKS so very much.
No wait actually I'll send you USD so you can give zimbabwean. It's worth more.
LOLLOLOL
When I get these you know I'm not sure if I feel sad or pissed off.
The world is just so fucked up, bring on the greatest depression and get this shit over with so we can rebuild.
Again just saying
Reminds me of post-apatheid South Africa.
Amazing. Rape your constituents and send the U.N. a bill from some private Island, in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Gold is heavy and edible.
I mean, hey, they've got a thing for barbaric relics.
