Gold Goes Vertical As Goldman Reiterrates Harsh QE Expectations

Tyler Durden's picture




 

(could not find any more gratuitous usage of the world "gold" in the title)

Well, we sure hope you, ahem, bought the dip. A $17 vertical move in minutes is an appetizer of what will happen when Bernanke says the wrong word at J-Hole (and he most likely will).

You asked yesterday for some proof to back up my contention that the markets are manipulated via national security directives. I posted a reply. Did you see this?

This was implemented way back in May of 2006, way before the markets showed any real stress. Why? And do you think they ever stopped cooking the books national security style? The first rule of lying is to lie some more to maintain the first/second/tenth/hundredth lie.

Anybody see what's going on here?  Plain as poop on the sidewalk.
Goldilocks loves mayhem, volatility and distress.  Tis' where money is made.

Imagine a set up like this fictional paradigm.

For some reason (for the sake of this exposition, it matter not why, when or motives, it just is what it is) several large bullion dealers carry humgoloid short positions in gold and silver and 'round abouts option expirations generally associated with the COMEX contracts beat the prices down.  And of late, they've seemed to find comfort at some sub $1200 price.

Even further it is rumored that they may be doing this on behalf of some serious money institution which shall remain nameless. (Can you count the number of beans in the jar, or identify the 3 letters of the acronym of the interested party?)

Now, let's further suppose that the short positions undertaken to suppress the price of the items in question might be getting kinda in the so called "hurt locker", cobblers turning blue, a short squeeze developing if somebody else, like some sociopathic entity really wanted to screw the pooch and set up a bundle of longs and calls against the opposition.

And then make big noises to cause the market to rally, squeezing the very puss out of the odd lot pimples operating on behalf of the nameless sponsoring entity.  Who, BTW will likely not answer any telephone calls, silence meeting the pleas for help emitting from the squeezed.

And there endeth Father Knukles Epiphany of the 'Morn.
Those being screwed might well remember that famous passage from Lord Lloyd's 23rd Psalm..

He holdeth my head beneath deep waters,
He stealeth my soul....

Meanwhile, deflationists are bragging about the 2% return they will earn over the next year on their treasury bonds.

VK's picture

The huge appreciation in capital is where the games at! From 4pc to 1pc, you get a HUGE return. In a pure deflation, you can't be long anything. We'll get there, a point where the 10 year is yielding 10pc or more in a highly deflationary environment as cash becomes scarce and real interest rates are 20pc or more on cash. But in the mean time, the bond market bubble will ride a huge wave to an ultimate top! Capital appreciation bitchez!

Tue, 08/24/2010 - 11:14 | 540284 Quintus
Quintus's picture

Deflation will make it impossible for loans to be repaid.  Therefore the Banking system will fold.  

Deflation will reduce the Treasury's tax income dramatically, and reduce the amount of money available for them to borrow.  Therefore Government will print money to make up the shortfall.

I do not see how either of these inevitable outcomes make holding 'Cash' i.e. Debt created by the latter entity and leveraged up then distributed by the former, a good thing to hold.

Simple, timing.  You can agree on the conclusion without agreeing on what to do in the meantime...

Tue, 08/24/2010 - 12:46 | 540555 Quintus
Quintus's picture

Yeah.  Timing the implosion of Lehmans worked out really well for lots of people, and that was before officially sanctioned lying, obfuscation and 'Mark to Fantasy' FASB rules were introduced to ensure that nobody really knows what's going on in the Financials.

When your bank with your 'Cash' in it goes under, are you sure you'll have gotten your money out just ahead of time?  When the Treasury bubble bursts as the wave of new issuance smacks headfirst into the wall of diminished investor capital (inevitable in deflation) are you sure you'll have sold your bonds just before the rest of the world decides to?  Even if you have, what will you do with your FRNs?  Buy Gold?  Too late, it won't be available.

I think I'll just jump straight to the endpoint and let those trying to sneak in one last trade before the curtain comes down take their chances.

Tue, 08/24/2010 - 13:15 | 540696 MachoMan
MachoMan's picture

First of all, timing the implosion of real estate/the general economy did work out incredibly well for some...  it's called conviction...  sometimes it's wrong...  sometimes it pays off...  but conviction none the less.  Sometimes trades are lottery tickets that require little conviction...

Second, we can even agree that everything can change on a dime, and still have different opinions as to timing...  some of us think that we will languish through the pain of deleveraging (deflation) for quite some time...  as austerity is attempted.  And that a flight to quality is necessary to continue rolling over debt (range bound and can't print without spooking the herd).

Third, you don't have to put all your eggs in the same basket...  there are many assets that act as viable investments during both deflationary and inflationary periods...  I'll leave you to figure those out (but the price on the more obvious ones has been increasing; hint: not bonds).  Generally, an incredible amount of risk can be removed from the table by acting without leverage...  maybe you don't hit a home run or win the race, but you got something left after the fire.

I wouldn't touch treasuries with your dick and someone else pushing. Well, maybe with a bullet strategy.

 

Deflation will be a shortlived phenomenom b/c it scares the crap out Government policymakers who,  in spite of their cruel dependency on lofty real estate valuations in order to balance their books, fancy themselves a cut above market forces.

When posed with the choice of deflation or hyperinflation (where we are now), you still think deflation is a short lived phenomenon?  Is a 2+ year phenomenon short lived?  What kind of timetable are you looking for?

You want to know the real bogeyman, the one that really scares the crap out of government policymakers?

Things feel like all hells going to happen the bond yields state all hells going to happen well if it does gold and silver look good to me.

The Hinderberg omen thing sounds cool personally I am not into such things but maybe this type of indicator is effecting people to dump stocks and money needs to go somewhere,

Yup.  Some correlations have been off and on for more than a year now.

Silver is likely to blow past gold before too long (in terms of performance, not necessarily in terms of dollar values).  I talk about gold a lot, but in reality, I have a good 25x as much silver as I do gold, in dollar terms.  I tried moving it all last year and damn near broke my back.  I now have a hand truck.  All the gold in my posession can fit in my pocket (and doesn't set off metal detectors, I have found).

If you don't mind me asking, what amount can somebody carry without setting off metal detectors?  I plan on taking some metal with me on my travels.

tmosley's picture

I don't know, having never been caught, even going through international security.  I always take at least 1 oz with me whenever I travel, but I have taken an amount somewhat more than an order of magnitude higher through metal detectors without a problem.  But then, I always connect through a smaller airport, so the metal detectors might just be old and crappy.  Just keep them in your clothes, and don't be like that moron that got caught with 1000+ oz of gold going into Mexico (and had it all confiscated, as I recall).  

Having gone through security at Heathrow and Houston Intercontenental with 2 oz in my pocket within the last month, I can tell you that that amount is fine under any level of scrutiny.

People know it's money, they hoard silver coins (or should be). The monkeys in charge though want us to think it's not. The real takeoff is when the silver price goes over $20 and stays there.

This price action has my seal of approval...just picked up some physical earlier today, also some ETF (don't worry, I'll dump that soon).

 

Gold Bitchez!

Johnny Jizz had a tough night last night, he is busily wiping himself clean and laundering his pants.

Yup, and if he ever comes back, he'll be getting the exact same shit from me.

Enough is enough.

You can bet he's not sulking in a corner.  Not smart enough to know when he is really not appreciated.  If he could contribute, or show some inclination to learn, I'd be much more tolerant.  I doubt he follows any of the links to other information that might change his views.  I hate to say it but FOFOA might just be over his head.  Sad.

2 days to OpEx and THIS price action, hmmm...

Makes me want to break into song....

I feel the earth, move, under my feet, I feel the sky tumbling down, a-tumblin' down...

On JP Morgan and HSBC. They'll just-a lose contro-oh-ol, of our very so-oh-ouls. I get hot and co-oh-oh-old, all over, all over, ALL OVER!!!

Have to say, I expected to see more resistance to this price action considering that options expiration is just two days away. Could it be there's getting to be too many fires to stamp out all at once?

Ain't over yet.  I think if Johnny Bravo was here the cartel bankers would run away.  Johnny, Johnny, where are you?

I would say Goldman spiked the gold market with some big buy orders.

This is a sell signal as Larry Summers is about to put down a slice of cake and call up JPMorgan's Gold desk.

The gold stocks, and silver stocks, are not buying this magic jump in the paper contracts.  The hedgies apparently still remember that options expire Thursday.  Let's see if the huge spike can disappear as fast as it showed up.  Smells like a head fake to me, ie, train has not left the station, just trying to look like it has.

Fish,

Jim Sinclair said to expect NOTHING of 100-3-400.00 swings in Gold, once the VIG was in.

He say's hang tough, the worse it get's the more volitaile the swings will be.

For JB:

"But then what?  What do you sell your gold for?  Dollars?"  by JB pevious thread

 

 

Duuuuh

 

You occupy a vacant Bank with a secure vault maybe buy it in a tax sale and wait.  While you are waiting you survey the situation for some sense of stability under the law of the land (if any) and of property rights and the rekindling of some kind of economy.  Before you die of old age you carouse with beautiful young women willing to partake of your wisdom.  You are charitable especially to single moms who were foolish enough to have a kid with an idiot like Jizzbreath who went broke listening to mish.  When the time is right you hang out the sign " DOGBREATHS BANK".  Then you trade your gold for deeds that collect interest.  Then you carouse with beautiful younger women.
