Sprott And Biderman On Paper Vs. Physical Gold
With gold prices dropping (notably divergent from the ever expanding global central bank balance sheets) but record-breaking levels of physical gold being purchased, we continue to reflect on the other 'Great Rotation' that we suspect is occurring as the New Year begins - that from paper gold to physical gold. Who better to discuss the nuances of this dilemma than Eric Sprott as he outlines to TrimTabs' Charles Biderman the relative strengths and weaknesses of ETFs like GLD and SLV, physical-based ETFs such as PHYS and PSLV, and physical holdings themselves. While the new meme is that the Fed may be considering pulling back (on its 'flow') sooner than expected, reality is far different (as Bill Gross recently agreed with us) and that fact makes the following brief clip even more compelling.

Mine isn't....it's still in my sock drawer. So how much cheap physical gold were you able to buy these past few weeks ?????
Be honest......did you even try?
Can someone explain to me why we are not talking about the real issue of today. I admire many of you ZH'rs for your knowledge and relativley good understanding when it comes to trading.
However when it comes to understanding the truth and reality of where our money problems stem from most all of you fall short. I hear and read it all the time. END THE FED END THE FED, but that is only half of the solution. Until the American people take back control of printing and issuing their own [DEBT FREE] currency ending the FED will do nothing but cause chaos and another chance for the usurpurs aka banskters to weasel their way back into control of our money.
Many O POTUS' have been assagnited or a failed attempt on several ocassions in our history.
Until everyone understands what a fraud we have been sucked into and understands that every problem we have had up to this very point is all due to the fact that we as Americans let congress give the power to mint money to the FED. HFT is nothing more then a product of what I have just spoke to. Including the so call business cycle which is nothing more then the 'Money Changers' who increase and then contract the money supply. Know your history and learn from it and then educate others and only after we have clarity can we even begin to fix this problem.
Give these guys "squawk on the street" and roll those other bums to the dumpster. That would be some "fair and balance rising above" news.
There were multiple CNBS quotes this week piling on the gold pullback as though it were a "collapse" ... these descriptions of the gold manipulation are NO accident and are coordinated, scripted attacks, designed for maximum effect. It should be a signal just what a threat PMs are to the "game"... enjoy the drama......nature has here own timeline and consequences......IF we survive
There seem to be two schools of thought. a) That debasement is all part of the grand plan for world domination by banker demigods, who always win and always will win. Or b) that the current situation has been in the making since medieval times, when the Catholic Church changed its definition of usury, ushering in fraction reserve and central banking to the Western world. Sure there have been lots of regional collapses since then, always well-played by the bankers. Today IS different. This is the end of power wielded by the old banking family dynasties....and they are not sleeping well.
we Hope that is whats going on.. there is some evidence.. but it's hard to not know.. the overwhelming history.. is the Oligarchs always win...
"Snag 'em and Bag 'em"
Every time the price is right. Very soon they'll be much harder to secure...
Go try buying Morgans or Liberty's for melt. Good fucking luck.
Try finding Eagles or Maple Leaves without the dealer premium of three bucks or so.
Shelves at your coin store aren't quite as bare as your local gun store's ammo shelves, but it is getting awfully close.
Copper, brass and lead.
The new bubble in semi precious metals.
Who knew ?
JPM?
I buy gold and silver any time I want at reasonable over melt
I believe the information here would provide you some answers to your question: http://www.gata.org
'Strong USD policy' = naked short precious metals to defend the fiat paper in your wallet.
Oh effen give me a break............
Biderman -- when he apologizes publicallly for being wrong and Schiff being right in talking about the $9 trillion dollar debt and the pending house bubble 2006 on CNBC .....History has shown he got pawned by Schiff - and I have a hard time listening to him now - just listen to him -- come on Biderman just admit you were WRONG and cost a lot of people alot of real money who listen to you ---- and now with GLD - even worse - that internet's a bitch huh Biderman -

Completely agree hampsterwheel! Why on EARTH does anyone (incl. ZH!) take Biderman serious now that he has 'suddenly' seen the light and, of all metal investment possebilities, he manages to choose two of the worst ones: GLD and SLV?!? Hello Charles, wakey wakey, where were you 5-10 years ago regarding physical metals?!
Anyone recommending GLD or SLV is a Bankster shill.
Biderman has been beaten to a pulp on ZH, and deservedly so.
He's a fucking stooge.
A fucking stooge who sold out to Goldman Sachs when the going got rough.
Not pawned...http://media.urbandictionary.com/image/page/pwned-56304.jpg
"I see Facebook as a $1000 stock someday" as he dumps the ~3% of his total holdings it comprised after the IPO into the bidding of fools...
I'll keep saying it at every opportunity.
Biderman is a perfect example of what is wrong, not only with the markets but with the U.S. itself.
agreed about Biderman. so why is sprott kissing his ass?
Publicity?
Not his turn on KWN again yet?
Listen to the interview - the whole thing was set up as a selling platform for Mr. Sprott's trusts. I have a lot of respect for Sprott and some of his published research a couple of years ago was worth studying, but this was a sham interview if ever I heard one. I admit I turned it off about half way through but I don't spend my precious time listening to a sell-side talk his own book.
The correct answer to Biderman's question is given by Mauldin: http://www.mauldineconomics.com/frontlinethoughts/its-all-about-the-jobs...
Good analysis of the current POG here: http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article38201.html
Any time any of these financial guys say anything it is to make a profit, either to get customers, or raise the value of their holdings. None of them care if you make the right investments or lose everytning. Keep that in mind when listening to them, all of them.
Price of Gold down because of HFT, brought on by your Government.
This is their only option at this juncture.
i will admit, i do not understand why gold and silver are dropping these past few weeks ?????
The price is controlled by software, not by the free market. To discourage demand for physical and in the vain hope enough people will sell metal to bring more supply into the market because "they" need it.
Bottom line: We aere near, I think, "the moment" the physical market takes permanent control away from the software.
I'm wondering,
Is JPM (and friends) shorting and BUYING, or JUST making money shorting?
What would you do?
One of the most important questions ever asked regarding metals here on these pages followed by one of the best ever answers. +1000 for you.
Indeed what would any of us do?
I love the smell of market turmoil in the morning.
Seasmoke, let me answer your question. If you want to buy an iPad and the local Best Buy puts them on sale for 30% off you just buy it and congratulate yourself for getting a good deal. You don't ask why it was on sale. Don't ask why gold is on sale. Just buy it.
Gold is dropping because the dollar is still considered a safe haven.
Don't yell at me.
I know that sounds crazy.
But the truth is the truth.
Whenever the market sniffs risk, investors run to bonds.

I've heard it referred to as "shaking the equity tree"...
At least back when the market was ALLOWED to sell off.
That's a good point. Asset liquidation is occuring in gold and silver because it is the two markets that are allowed to be shorted. Investors have to cover their dollar shorts somehow, and gold and silver are the ideal place to do that when the stock market is rigged. The gold and silver markets are not "rigged" in the same way as stocks are.
However, we know that gold and silver prices will rise again because the spread between futures contract prices and spot prices is rather large and it is unlikely that futures prices will fall significantly unless some major central bank liquidates their gold which is unlikely since it has already been leased out and the rest of their assets are just paper certificates from bankrupt governments.

happens every december january. weird combination of year end tax loss selling, traders gone for the holidays therefore thin markets, new year uncertainty and volatility due to december weakness, and heavy hand understanding of weak hand psycology. BTFD
You are talking about the paper, oui? AS for me- my gold and silver is not for sale.
re this:
easy. if you owned paper gold, would you not want to sell it, even at a loss, and use the proceeds to get the real phyz from your local dealer? that's why premiums on bullion are rising. paper gold could technically go to zero (i.e. comex default) or be settled w/ fiat; but not w/ phyz delivery
Year-End sell-off and personal buying by TBTB. Go along with it.
Aka: BTFD.
check out the physical market. lot of product sold out. particularly junk silver
I take delivery weekly of silver and a lot of product is harder to find. I switched to gold this week and bought a couple of coins. I always play the Burl Ives song Silver and Gold while stacking
I sell silver weekly and a lot of product is is hard to unload. I switched to gold this week and sold a couple of coins. I always play the Burl Ives song Silver and Gold while rolling the cash over into Bitcoins.
You should be singing this to yourself...

The metals were short term overbought and due for a correction, which retraced a bit more than 62% of the preceding up wave. That is all. You do not need to have a "reason" for every up and down move, that is just not how the world works. Learn to like it, because you cannot change it.
Yes yes short term fibonacci dow theory spx is on my radar follow the green line head and shoulders vomit garbage rabble rabble rabble.
