Will Silver Surge Following The Nationalization Of Bolivia's Silver Mines By Embattled President Evo Morales?
Two weeks ago the precious metals space was closely following the fate of Sumitomo's San Cristobal mine, where a long strike had paralyzed work at the world's third largest producer of silver and sixth-largest producer of zinc. While the strike was eventually resolved with concession to the domestic workers, a far more troubling report from Bolivian daily La-Razon states that Bolivia's president Evo Morales is now planning on expropriating zinc, silver and tin mines sold off by previous governments. Bloomberg reports that "Morales will announce a decree May 1 to “dismantle the privatization model,” said Nicolas Fernandez, a spokesman for state mining company Corp. Minera de Bolivia, known as Comibol. "The government is recovering all the privatized companies,” Fernandez said today in a telephone interview from La Paz. “When the decision is taken, Comibol will be ready to manage these mines.”" Among the contracts to be affected are those with Glencore International AG, Pan American Silver Corp., and most importantly, Coeur d’Alene Mines Corp., which is operator of the San Bartolome mine: the world's largest pure silver mine. Notably San Bartolome and Sumitomo's San Cristobal "account for about 83% of the nearly 1.1M tons of fine silver Bolivia produced in 2009, according to Mining Ministry data" according to The Gold Report. If indeed this news is proven true, and we will know for sure in 16 days, looks for the price of silver to spike considering about 1.33 million kilograms of silver was produced in Bolivia 2009, according to the U.S. Geological Survey: an amount which will likely fall off a cliff following the utter chaos that is unexpected nationalization.
Bloomberg's report on this important development confirms that the potentially affected producers seem to be in a state of denial about this absurdly irrational development:
“Our property title is not subject to expropriation by the government,” Coeur spokesman Tony Ebersole said in e-mailed comments to questions.
Glencore spokesman Simon Buerk declined to comment and Pan American spokeswoman Kettina Cordero didn’t return telephone calls and e-mails seeking comment.
Bolivia produced 430,879 metric tons of zinc, 84,537 tons of lead, 19,581 tons of tin and 1.33 million kilograms of silver in 2009, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Nationalizing private industries is nothing new for the embattled Morales:
The government of then President Hugo Banzer sold off mining assets such as the Vinto tin smelter in 1999 in a drive to shed money-losing state companies and attract private investment. Morales seized the smelter from Glencore in 2007.
Morales took over gas fields and refineries on May 1, 2006 in a bid to increase state control over Bolivia’s natural resources. Private investment in the industry plunged 69 percent to $271 million in 2009 from $865 million a decade earlier, according to state energy company YPF Bolivianos.
With the political situation in Bolivia deteriorating (read the following update from La Razon on the strikes and blockade gripping La Paz) it is increasingly probably that the country's president will take irrational steps in order to safeguard his image, and supposedly to fill his coffers.

bullish for silver
Sucks when you hold PAA calls though.
Personally, I think the Capital Research Institute is doing a lot of good with their approach. Can't match ZH for pure quantity, but there comes a time for spreading awareness AND planning solutions!
"On Psychology & Markets"
http://www.capitalresearchinstitute.org
More and more people are catching on to the fact that two sets of rules are currently in place, one for the MEGAwealthy (net worth > $100 m), and one for the rest of us. Besides the issue of the US government’s debt problems, and spending more than they earn, there is the problem of the US dollar (world reserve fiat currency) on its deathbed, with a privately -owned central bank (the Federal Reserve) that has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to have ONLY the interests of its private owners in mind. Not only were the bailouts in 2008 a mistake, they were the largest theft in the history of mankind! It was the largest reverse Robin Hood story in history! The rich stealing from the poor to a degree only imagined (and probably salivated over) by the ‘great’ tyrants of the early 20th century, John D Rockefeller and JP Morgan. Now in the 21st century we get Henry Paulson, Hank Greenberg, Ben Bernanke, Lloyd Blankfein, Jamie Dimon, etc.
The question left to ask, then, is why haven’t EVEN MORE people woken up to facts, and the dire situation we find ourselves in? After a long and careful look at this issue, the answer may be surprising to some.
How exactly does one steal vast wealth from the "poor"? Aren't the poor, by defnition, without significant wealth? No, the bailouts were more along the lines of the government and various privileged wealthy insiders stealing from the middle classes and unborn future generations.
The middle class and unborn future generations = poor, relative to the people who stole the wealth, isn't that right?
George Soros and T Boone Pickens = poor, relative to Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, isn't that right?
George Soros and T Boone Pickens = poor, relative to Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, isn't that right?
What would get you richer: stealing one million dollars from a rich guy, or stealing one dollar from each of three hundred million poor guys?
I suppose it would depend on the transaction costs.
There are no transaction costs, remember you are stealing. Besides if there were transaction costs you would just put those on to the people too. Call it delivery or transmission tax like they do on the electric bills.
Come on, man, my head is still hurting from the damn captcha! Negative numbers! WTF?!?
Bottom line is counter party risk. With physical, there is no counterparty. With any form of paper, any government can steal your "rights" or your claim of ownership. Pan American Silver has a responsibility to defend their property interest (and that of their shareholders) by all means necessary. They should consider hiring a private security force to defend their interests.
Yeah. Here you go "Central Bankster". Here's your gun. Go get 'em, tiger!
And when the rule of law and private contracts breaks down, what should one do? You clearly are the type to grab your ankles rather than fight for your rights? Scum.
I wonder if this means that Obama will invade Bolivia ... you know, to protect the people...

Who gives a shit what Bolivia does, silver is going parabolic anyways.
If they nationalize their coke production then I'll worry.
who gives a shit

COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation (NYSE:CDE - News)(TSX:CDM.to - News) today announced that it has received assurances from the Morales Administration in Bolivia that its San Bartolomé mine is not subject to any proposed nationalization in Bolivia.
“During a meeting Thursday with Bolivian Mining Minister Jose Pimentel, the Minister assured Coeur Manquiri and members of the Federation of Mining Workers Trade Union (FSTMB) that Manquiri will not be nationalized,” said Humberto Rada, President of Coeur South America and Coeur Manquiri, the subsidiary of Coeur that operates San Bartolomé.
Coeur has maintained that its property rights at San Bartolomé are not the subject of expropriation. The Company operates the mine in Potosi where title already belongs to Bolivia and backed by Presidential Supreme Decree.
All surface mining and silver production at San Bartolomé are operating as usual. The labor unions working with San Bartolomé management have openly denounced any nationalization and expressed their support of Manquiri as have the mining Cooperatives in Potosi, who are a strong social and political influence in Bolivia.
Where's Francisco D'Anconia when you need him?

In theaters tomorrow.
Not in Lubbock :(
I thought everything was bigger in TX...even the movie theathers (or is that only the mega-churches).
Tmos if I were in Lubbock next time I was in TX I'd take you out for some suds.
We've got two large theaters, and they are building a mega-theater now. But none of them are showing AS. It's a travesty they aren't opening it to a larger release.
I have a feeling that before long, I'll be able to amble into the completed mega theater, buy a beer, and get the whole complex as change. Then I'll screen the full trilogy, and invite the whole ZH crew for beers (the mega-theater has two bars in it--awesome).
Lubbock! It's no wonder you're miserable.
Awww, does the butthurt faggot not like the second lowest cost of living college town in the US?
Can't you have a conversation without introducing your sexual proclivities? BTW I live on a beach that has palm trees.

I love Matamoros-Reynosa-Monterrey area. You like thrills? Ever wonder what kind of man you really are? Go there some weekend. Leave the wife and kids home.
So you cherry pick a fairly small area, which lacks security primarily because our govt would rather invade other countries than secure our own borders, as being representative of the the second largest state in the union?

questionable selloff in other miners with no risk to bolivia situation
No wonder CDE is tanking.
i think their san bartolome mine did 6.7 mil ozs last year
Wonder if we'll punch through $42 on this fine day.
How much silver is owed to SLW from Bolivia mines? Is this what's holding their share price back?
guessing that the rise of metal means collapse of paper. He has a country without paper, being pronged by Bechtel. Water next. Might even be why Evo took control like Iceland did. He appears to get it.
Silver is already going parabolic, this will only give it more wings.
FUBM.
Bullish for the Dow
The Dow can no longer be killed with conventional weapons.

He decided to do this after getting off the phone with his buddy Hugo...?

peru is also possibly turning left (huge silver interests)
check out EPU post initial election
Peru was center-right and will fall since both candidates in the run-off are leftists. Colombia has turned left-of-center but few are aware of that. Chile is the last man standing... how long they will resist?
Now, Brazil in intervening in the administration of previously privatized companies, imposing (behind curtains) but not always successfully yes-man CEOs. This means, in a twisted way, nationalizing the company but leaving the burden of any wrongdoing to shareholders.
Argentina is increasing gov voting rights in company boards it "invests in", which was capped at 5% (for good or worse). Now Bolivia is likely taking over the mines.
At this point, investing in Latin America is a big uncertainty, to say the least.
Time for US to nationalize the FED.
Why nationalize the fed when it's so much easier to nationalize the citizens and their offspring for generations to come?
Besides, nationalizing the fed will have zero result without correspondingly abolishing the irs and simultaneously beginning the minting and circulation of intrinsically valuable coinage and non interest bearing US treasury notes as legal tender.
Peru next?
Cuntree risk Bitchez.
Walt Disney is preparing a new tape: "Bin Laden seeks refuge in Bolivia" and what will happen next you already know. Oh also Donald Duck is running for president
There is nothing unexpected about this or any forthcoming nationalization of resources, unless you are Doug Casey, who writes non-stop about which tin-hat politico is "mining friendly."
As the ongoing global collapse gains momentum, there will be more and more wealth grabs so that those in power, remain there yet another day. Democracy demands it.
I was surprised to see Casey Research recommending PAA in their latest newsletter.
I sold my PAA shares a week ago at 38.10$ (I didn't believe it will go up 2$ more in such a short time) after I read on ZH about big connections between PAA and JPM. Now I'm happy I did it, as it went down 4.5$ in a day. I'm a buyer at $32.
Silver will surge. The big price runups are coming from China right now; there's, oh, I dunno, another hundred million chinese or so who haven't gotten around to putting their $40 in savings in silver; but they're working on it. Basically silver will surge if Bolivia evaporates, consolidates, or does nothing whatsoever.
Bolivia...far as you know, this could be the garden spot of the whole south america!
$100 BennieBux for anyone who gets that movie line.
Butch, or Sundance?
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?
LOL.. Butch and the Kid...
Can you send me Monopoly Money instead.. Me and my GF play all the time and seemed to need more currency.. :)
OK I'll send each of you $100 Monopoly bux or Bennie Bux, all about the same real value. Monopoly bux might be more valuable since its part of a fun game!
That's what the government of Bolivia says:
The price of silver will continue to rise no dount on Chinese dip-demand.
In Argentina (which means land of silver) people say, 'tienes plata?', as in do you have silver? Not, 'do you have cotten-and-linen Benny Confetti?'
Coeur d’Alene spokesman Tony Ebersol clearly doesn't live in the real world.

Coeur d'Alene may be right.
Evo Morales is only going to take back certain mines that were once operated by the state but then leased the mining rights to at least 3 foreign mining companies.
"The miners claimed that some companies or mines that were previously the state still not been recovered, the commitment (in the agreement that was achieved in this sector) is to be recovered (the mines), "Morales said Tuesday the president for a press conference. "
Coeur d'Alene claims none of their properties fall under this plan. We shall see...
Here is another article:
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/xinhua/2011-04-13/content_2289510.html
Bolivian President Evo Morales on Tuesday said he will continue the nationalization of mines that had been owned by the state and later were privatized.
Morales told a press conference here that this is aimed to deepen the production system of the country.
He did not mention what mines would be nationalized, but said the move will be carried out through a supreme decree to be issued on on May 1.
"We are going to recover some of the mines that before belonged to the State and now are in private hands," he said, adding that those mines which always have been private will not be affected by the measure.
"We are going to respect the private property. This is stated in the Constitution of Bolivia," Morales said.
From the chinadaily article, "in the 90's there were 23,000 workers in the mining industry". I wonder how many employee's there are now in private hands?
I was wondering why my CDE tanked today. Hope you are right. Otherwise I demand Obummer scramble our jets over Bolivia now to protect the future tax revenues from my future gains.
lol! morales, reportedly feeling a wee bit "gordon brownish" as silver et. al. scream higher, petulantly cries: "Do over!"
haha...no backsies.
Maybe Bolivia can hedge it with a new triple inverse coca ETF.
Silver has been surging for 8 months primarily because the clowns at Elliott Wave International have been predicting it should be tanking for 16 months
Rob Prechter has given up predicting the PM's having been wiped across the floor by everyone in the investment community (he hasn't come last, he actually fell flat on his face on the start line way back in 2009).
His joke side-kick Steven Hochberg who writes the Short Term Update (better known as 'Shorty Talks Shit' by long suffereing EW subscribers) has been pegging '5' top finishing waves on Gold and Silver (and Dow, and S&P and Nasdaq) throughout 2010 right through to 2 weeks ago (wrong every week of every month since May 2010). Yes Shorty Talks Shit now thinks Silver could blow off and has joined the investment community after years in an Elliott Wave dreamworld (you need a Doctor Steven you delusional bloody idiot)
Elliott Wave International: the biggest pile of crap in investing (predictions with a 95% failure rate)
It amazes me how these people (and many chartists in general) refuse to acknowledge the existence of Bernanke's Wave Machine. Sure, they see the waves, but since they have no idea how they formed, they assume it's all natural and apply their rules accordingly.
At times I have to wonder if they are really that stupid, or complicit in these disinfo campaigns.
it is possible that Elliott Wave International are just delusional with their heads so far up their arses (Elliott Wave counts) that they possibly cannot see how wrong they always are... but judging by their constant mis-selling and gross mis-representation of their ability with their 'Free Updates' i think they are just plain frauds
The Free Updates 'hook' Clubbers (who are not paying Subscribers) with a constant stream of mis'representation at EWI's ability to predict. The material they put in the Free Updates are limited because they get so few predictions (barely 5%) right.
Paying for these services they hook you into with promises of accurate predictions you get a totally different perspective as they constantly cock up, throw their last crappy charts in the bin, start the wave counts again, start two wave counts, predict it "could go up.. but could go down".
The other week their European Editor, Chris Carolan, was sitting on the fence (again) saying the EuroStox "could go up.. could go down.. but we'll wait for stronger selling before we decide". The Eurostox dropped over 5% subscribers missing the opportunity sitting on the fence with splinters in his arse, Chris Carolan. But the cheeky shit came out the next week mis-representing his sitting on the fence position with patting himself on the back he'd predicting it would drop!!!
Same happened mid-March with Carolans Euro/USD prediction (along with everyone at EWI for over a year) for a Dollar rally. Instead of dropping to $1.25 as they predicted the Dollar rallyed to $1.44. Once again the sneeky shit said nothing for weeks (hid under the bed no doubt) then came out with another Dollar rally prediction (bit fuking late for anyone who lost on your last pathetic prediction dipshit!)
The whole EWI crew are sneeky, slippery and untrustworthy as they grossly mis-represent their (in)ability ....they are total crap at predicting where the markets go. Fact.
@ZG
right on. As I recollect Ralph Nelson Elliott died a pauper. No idea why Prickter goes on propagating pure crap as the road to riches.
Because there are imbeciles out there who will pay him for this less-than-worthless bullshit.
Jack Sheet - Prechter is very good at some things like knowing the Fed and understanding the impact of debt etc. But the Elliott Wave theory is absolute fuking rubbish. It would take Prechter a few days of research (which he's always doing) to run some stat's on his EWI predictions for it to dawn on him his predictions are crap, that he is constantly mis-directing his Subscribers in the wrong direction and losing them money and for him to refund all Subscribers like the honourable man he is for all fees in 2010 because EWI was total shit throughout 2010.
Prechter couyld then focus on his worthy Socionomics Institute which does have predictive ability (unlike Elliott Waves)
Bam_Man - yes Elliott Wave is a magnet for niave investors like myself just starting out. My private bank recommended them and have probably made a packet out of me from the mis-direction by Prechters team of always wrong muppets!
"Silver has been surging for 8 months primarily because the clowns at Elliott Wave International have been predicting it should be tanking for 16 months"
That's why silver has been going up? Your opening line there is quite the statement!
Silver goes up for real reasons... Elliott Waves are delusional chart patterns not based on reality... Prechter and his clowns are the greatest contrarians in the market, contrary to reality, hence Silver goes the opposite direction to an Elliott Wave prediction .... Silver goes up because EW have been predicting it should go down ...simple!
Jim Sinclair is/was right! You need to take care of the benefactors in your host country as well as your shareholders. If you screw them out of their rightful share of the profits, they will eventually screw you right back.
i think Jim Sinclair and Rob Prechter were having a battle of wits reading between the lines of their writings. It was a 'No Contest'. Jim wiped the floor with Prechter without breaking a sweat.
I remember well Jims wesbite saying Gold was about to go into a "parabolic shift". Sure enough both Prechter and his clown side-kick Steven Hochberg came out the same week poo-pooing the parabolic shift. They predicted once again Gold topping and once again they fell over their big size 19 clown boots falling flat on their big red noses.
Following week the Ellioticians (Idioticians) came out not with parabolic shift but with a "blow off" (ie. a parabolic shift they said was never going to happen).
Jim has knocked all the Elliott Wave clowns out of the ball park and into the history books. Prechter needs to pack up and stop (mis)selling shit
you cry " the sky is falling " long enough, eventually the sky will fall.
Yes, Prechters goons are full of themselves enough being wrong throughout 2010 the sky was falling in... fuck knows how much full of shit they will be when they get it right 1 time in 14 months!!!!!!!
Evo's dirty little pockets have been lined, so have the army's. The government unloaded the properties because it was incapable of operating them profitably in the first place. As Bolivia bailed on the Washington Convention, look for him to be retired with 12 months of the properties running a loss again if silver spikes ($100), or 6 months if the domestic economy collapses. The Calvo Doctrine is only allowed if you have a seat at the big kids table, and Evo doesn't. Rinse, repeat.
just another reason to add to the reason(s) why silver will continue to achieve new heights.
MSM's non stop bubble articles could be written by a 2nd grader.
Will Silver Surge blah-blah, blah-blah, blah-blah, blah?
Yes.
Evo"the cell phone" Morales does have an alliance with Chavez, they are best buddies....we shall see!
i love silver, coke head bolivian president thank you
My paper gains in PAAS just went pooof. Still above break even though even if I get stopped out at $38. Too bad. Pan American is a good miner and a solid producer.
Tell me about it.. I got raped with First Majestic (AG) Monday and Tuesday.
I was there with AG as well. Really got destroyed.
I picked up some AG yesterday for $21.50 per share, I did not know they were part of this situation?
They're not. AG's mines are in Mexico.
"First Majestic Silver Corp. is committed to building a senior Silver producing mining company based on an aggressive development and acquisition plan with a focus on Mexico. The Company presently owns and operates three producing silver mines in Mexico; the La Parrilla Silver Mine, the San Martin Silver Mine and the La Encantada Silver Mine. Production from these three mines is anticipated to be over 6.5 million ounces of silver in 2010."
http://www.firstmajestic.com/s/Home.asp
I own AG too. It is very volatile. The Hedge Funds really like to short the stock. That's why it was down hard Mon & Tues. But then it recovered nicely yesterday; closed up 12% on the day.
The miners tend to be 3X more volatile than the bullion because of their leverage to the metals price and due to the additional risk (geopolitical, operational, etc).
Good price. Man, AG been volitile.
Not even Molycorp shakes that much.
agreed.
I dumped 100% of holdings outside North America though. Is "insourcing" a word yet?
Meh, if NA miners aren't nationalized directly, they will be "wind-fall" taxed to death.
This is just the starting on Govt takeover of mines. Then Australia/SA/USA/Canada will all follow just like China already did. ANOTHER and FOA predicated this more than a decade ago - a day will come when Govt's will never allow mines to create money. They will force mines to sell at a slight profit over production cost and they will keep the Gold.
All you silver mining shares and futures paper will burn in a big ball of fire. Only physical Gold will escape. I don't have faith in Silver, just like I don't have faith in Iron/Copper, they all get consumed.
> They will force mines to sell at a slight profit over production cost and they will keep the Gold.
Fine, I'll take my risks. I hope shareholders will have the right to purchase at those prices.

Coming soon, to a western regime near you!
More proof that this PM mining sector is flat out the worst.
Gold bugs are the most unlucky group of stock investors.
Where else would you find the underlying commodity screaming to new highs yet these PM stocks are blowtorched 6% - 9% in one fell swoop?
Way too much risk.
So says RainbowTrader while gold is at all time highs. Gold investors are not stock investors, not me anyway.
thank you for sharing your unique point of view
worst trader in the usa. the walls are closing in ever closer in his apartment.
The mining stocks have been naked shorted and there is a Lawsuit in the making that should help stop this then the mining shares will amaze everyone. "according to Bob Chapman"
Miners blow. Physical rocks.
Now you know why the smart money stays in retail stocks and avoid the PM space like the plague....
and you own an ira full of gold stocks. only man in usa to lose money in gold and silver. lol
LMAO
Now we know why the bank retired him
Did you mean retired or retarded?
I guess you can't see that the sector has been suppressed irrationally and should explode. It's not like the price of edible iPads is rising like the PMs.
'Smart money' is in retail stocks which have lost real purchasing power yet will be hit with a 50% cap gains tax? Doesnt sound so smart to me.
he threw up 3 retail stocks on another thread saying they outperformed us. i destroyed him with simple comparisons yoy. the guy is a brazen liar.
