The Gold And Silver Morning Takedown Is Back
It's been a few days since the once ubiquitous morning take-down in precious metals showed its face but this morning with the USD leaking only modestly higher and Treasuries notably bid, gold and silver are gapping down in a hurry. Gold (-2%) is back to the May 2012 lows (within $10 of July 2011 (pre-QE2) levels and silver (-3%) is testing down to recent lows also. Other commodities (like Oil and Copper) are also in pain this morning...
Gold in EUR is its lowest since October 2011.
and Oil and copper are joining the party...
and this flight FROM safety as bonds are bid...

Please thank your grandkids for us - Ben Shalom
I'm giving special thanks to Ms Blythe Masters for the shopping opportunity, today
oh, and a rant: before another analyst of Bank of America starts again about banning the EUR 500 notes, please explain to me why there still are USD notes circulating with denominations of 500, 1'000 and even... 10'000
fact is they are legal tender, but whenever an US megabank cashes them in, they are sent to the US Treasury... for destruction
another fine example about how US megabanks and the US Treasury "work together"
How many hundred million "ounces" do you think she dumped on the market this morning?
Uncle Ben, Please take silver down to $26.25 today so I can get 100% in and watch it take off like a rocket. Thanks again!
play their game... buy agq puts on any spike, sell on the somewhat predictable monkeyhammer mornings, buy more physical at a cheaper price with the proceeds, sleep well. lather, rinse, repeat.
been doing it.. Long Long term calls.. and puts with less than 14 days on any spike.. giddy up..
well done, max. i won't claim to be making a lot doing it, but it's satisfying knowing i'm not being "taken" and it's cheaper than going to vegas. lol
Same here.. I haven't been doing as well on E/U and DOW options but seem to do better with silver for some reason.. After bitcoin shot up to 250.. I just started feeling giddy about my Silver calls.. Especially since I have a long.. long time on them.. I knew TPTB were not going to let Silver take off just yet.. not without hitting the long term support closer to 26.. There is going to be some fireworks down there.. by the way.. I have all of my physical.. averaged 18.00/oz.. Now i'm just throwing a few bennybucks at the paper market playing technicals.. gearing up for the big move up..
I'm tapped out for any more outright purchases, sadly. But if the Gold/Silver ratio keeps climbing I might sell some of the former to buy the latter. I've done quite well in terms of ounces of both, nipping in and out when it seems the pendulum has swung one way or another too far.
But I haven't been very scientific about it. Has anyone got any strategies they'd like to share?
Regarding those >$100 US notes that get destroyed. They are rare, as many merchants shy away from $100 notes.
If a banker were to come across one, he would do well to post it on ebay for a collector as they are bringing a premium.

Perfect Friday morning for price manipulation.
Asia closed for weekend squeezing them out of a physical response.
That manipulation is required speaks volumes.
Wow what a take down. Broke major support.
Eric King must of dropped a tweenkie today.. Spin time..
I still feel safer hold my phyz than paper in the bank... Believe or not im not sweating. I will buy more now.
Some big negative news must be coming soon to take such measures these last weeks.. This is huge intervention...LIBOR style...
Anatomy of a gold takedown.
1. Take gold and silver from Comex.
2. Get Goldman to bad mouth gold.
3. Dump Comex gold on market to run stops.
4. Take for granted Bart Chilton and CFTC will see no evil
Thin air money spent between Japan and USA monetary operations DAILY $7 Billion. How much gold is that? Around 125 TONS per DAY.
In other words in three months of J-USA monetisation/asset purchases over 8,000 TONS equivalent of gold is created and spent.
500+ years of balance of trade settled in Gold. Now settling in highly dilutional fiat? YIKES!
How many tons Gold in order to accomodate 24 months of J-USA deficit entitlement spending/asset purchases/open full throttle monetisation?
240*2*$7 billion=3.36 trillion. And in Gold? Greater than 61,500 tons.
But stocks, bonds, and other commodities will protect investors from devaluation. Buy Bitcoin, facebook, JCPenny, and banks.
This is all Zionist Banking Mafia (ZBM) swindle. Banks do not need bailouts. FED and ECB can just write off all their bad loans and derivatives but they have another objective.
Their goal is by creating crises, destroying both EU and US economies, and impoverishing and starving people to create their New Zionist Banking International (since their Bolshevik Communism International did not work too well) also known as the New World Order.
...meanwhile, in the real world, premiums on actual sales silver are still rising:
http://d1w116sruyx1mf.cloudfront.net/ee-assets/gsd/yesterday/US90_Silver...
It looks like bail-in provisions are being used to eviscerate ETFs, starting with the GLD. GLD printed lower than Dec. 2011, which is a terrible sign. I would call this selective deflation.
Looks like just now the gold price went lower than the Dec. 2011 low, so that means no hyperinflation.
I'm looking for an entry point and like you had low $26's as a target entry (which I almost pulled trigger on last week) but in all seriousness not I'm not sure if $26 has just turned from support to resistance.
the documentation might weigh a few ounces... if printed out
It was just a keystroke.....no heavy lifting was required.
Oooo Blythe is frisky this morning... Time to bust out the gold plated mega dildo...
Oh no, this is a platinum day.
well cyprus is putting up 10 tons, yea tons, up for sale. italy, portugal, and spain may follow suite.
incredible stuff, gold as a bailout to the bankster in charge. i can't make this shit up...
blythe doesn't need to short anything, just supply overwelm-temporary of course.
think 1475 is the majic number and 25.50 for silver.
hope beepe has something to say or it is really hopeless for the europeans.
appears a flood of gold to hit the market to bail out these desparate for cash countries.
This is the fallacy of it all:
"Bail out to the banks, payable in Gold" (citing your post, new game)
Translation:
The Bank wants Gold instead of Paper.
Market Response:
They're selling, Gold must be in a bubble.
LBMA trades more than 1500 tons of gold per day. What is 10 tons from Cyrpus going to do to the market? And that 10 tons probably bypassed the LBMA and went straight to ze Germans.
Correction: LBMA trades more than 1500 tons of (almost infinitely rehypothecated) PAPER gold per day.
Those 10 tons of physical, non-rehypothecated gold from Cyprus might be vastly more important right now to the sociopaths' paper game than you give them credit for.
How many hundred million "ounces" do you think she dumped on the market this morning?
Probally around 2 TWO GRAMS....that's all paper weighs. BUT MIGHT WEIGH UP TO 3 THREE GRAMS Wwith all those numbers of fiat silver printed on it,
....
I'm keeping my $500's - hence the avatar.
Those 1000 CHF look good, too.
And lots of PM -- all in Davy Jones' locker for storage, of course.
Let's ride.
oh, the old 1'000 CHF notes were even more beautiful, with a huge ant on them
Just entered my limit orders:
1,500 for au
26.50 for ag
Please Blythe, please, push it down a little more!
IMHO if gold drops that much below 1525 I would wait until it finishes its drop. 1525 has held for a long time and if it breaks I can't see why it turn around at 1500.
Oh not to worry, my limit orders below 1500 will be 2x - 5x the size of my order at 1500.
I'm simply scaling in, just in case the price doesn't fall far below 1500. And since I'm not buying the au for a trade, but for a long-term hold, I don't care about nailing the bottom; I care about increasing my total holdings and lowering my average price.
Sadly, this will be the exact opposite of what the typical paper and/or leveraged long will be doing----panicking and selling out the more the price falls.
Who really cares?
~~~
Bitcoin peaked at $266... A 90% retracement would be $26.6
I'm looking for a $26.6 print on Ag just for the LULZ...
Disclaimer ^^^^^ That's does not mean I'm BUYING at 'xyz' price... I buy when there's spare cash floating around... Fuck these paper prices... Run 'em to fucking zero for all I care... I can't wait to be able to walk into a coin store and buy all the pre-65 junk silver they have at face value...
I'm sure they'll have TONS of inventory on hand because there will have been a mad rush of wannabe 'Winklepusses' selling Mercury dimes to catch falling virtual falling knives...
Update: Fuck you 'junking' bitchez... Ag just hit a LOW print of $26.65...
Now we know why the COMEX was hit so hard, they dumped it into the phyzzzzzzzzzz mkt, and used it for this takedown.
Ahhhh, the BoA Analyst on banning the 500 Eur.
Question: What would make any guy that is a criminal (or money laundrer) go by himself into a bank and identify himself as an active criminal or money laundrer? How stupid is this assumption?
If such a bill would come into effect, what would happen would be that millions of notes would be in possession of university students, poor people and so on. And then what? Arrest all of them. People don't think!
First they took down Bitcoin and now they're back to slamming PMs down.
Oh well. We should all be thanking them for cheap gold and silver. I'm sure the Chinese, Russians, and other CBs are.
Yes, they definately are afraid of bitcoin... :D
Is the FED printing GOLD futures certificates alone with the Dollars now?.
What is the leverage? 1 Physical Gold oz to 10000000000000 Paper Gold oz?
Freaking criminals!
Technical bear market for gold. 20% off the top. At time when there is more money printing than ever. It makes no sense, but that's par for the course these days.
So, since I am ignorant, was it a bear market in 2008? The price decreased by some 30% over six months or so. Then what happened?
I'd judge that a cyclical bear in a secular bull, but who am I to tell you ....
Haven't any of you dopes learned anything?
~~~
There is no 'free market'... There is no 'price discovery'... The paper price of ANYTHING is what they want it to be...
Technical Trader: "Oh well, a 20% correction is blah blah is an indication of a bear market"... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!...
Fucking BAC stock dropped to $2.00 back in '08... What's more fucking 'technical bear market' than that... Next thing you know, Obozo is on the teleprompter talking about "profit to earnings ratios"... When you're finally broke, they'll offer you a loan... If you can't repay the loan, they'll print up more money for themselves, put the losses onto a 'bad bank' balance sheet & send you a tax bill for it so that THE COLLECTIVE pays for it...
It's all one big fat joke designed to steal your money [which I hope you don't save in joobux]...
.
I mentioned it in another thread on another day: Proudly out of every market for more than 15 years. That means that I've learned a lot, namely to stay out of a "market" which I can't comprehend anymore. Of course there is no free market, no price discovery, and it's all a big joke.
Same "technical" gurus who use the '20% correction = BEAR MARKET' baloney, could probably say that 'DOW & S&P are hitting ALL TIME HIGHS on a daily basis'
~~~
BULL Market folks... Jump right in with 100:1 leverage [water's fine]...
Might as well be using darts & Super Bowl indices...
~~~
Let's take silver to ZERO bitches!!... Perfect... It'll take about 10 seconds to drain every godamned ounce of Ag out of warehouses & bury it in the backyard...
So at that point, where will there be any silver to make solar panels... Better yet ~ electronics which are necessary to keep bitcoins alive... Fucking CENTRAL PLANNING at its finest...
paper gold versus physical gold. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. The price in fiat was under $400 less than ten years ago. Go ahead, let them take it down and have dry powder at the ready. The real fireworks won't start until deliveries stop.
They already have stopped.....ask Germany.
Lead time for delivery just a measly seven years .... ;-)
Lead time for delivery just a measly seven years .... ;-)
Takes that long to dig that much up out of the ground....
Lead time for delivery just a measly seven years .... ;-)
Takes that long to dig that much up out of the ground....
If you really want to know what is going on, watch the latest vid from Greg hunter with Dr. Paul Craig Roberts regarding manipulation with naked shorts. As for me I will continue to buy as will the Chinese and Russians. When all the physical is gone what in the world will they do with all the paper ETF,s Oh I know "WIPE THEIR ASS"
TPTB took down bitcoin in a flash, time to focus on the more credible alternative currencies.
bit-ponzi now @$60.00................where is CH1
hands in bloody bandages from catching falling knives... Can't use the keyboard...
Yes but gold and silver are "original currencies" not "alternative" as that can only be applied to everything that followed them.
I think rocks and shells would have to have the "original currencies" moniker, if we're being technical about it.
Max Keiser is a little less sanguine about BitCoin these days. That is to say he doesn't mention it anymore. He was boasting about the million he had made shortly after Cyprus imploded.
That is not o say that I don't like Max. He does a great service to society. He does go over the top too often for his own good.
Paper gold is down........blah,blah,blah
There, fixed it for ya.
These cocksuckers will stop at nothing. The fucking Chinese are just sitting back and blatantly laughing at us and they get these bargain prices.
Today may end flat despite the morning smash.
They're bargain prices for anyone with the foresight to stack, Chuck. Don't worry about the Chinese. They (and we) have enough problems of their own, that we dno't need to look outside our own borders.
Manipulated? Of course, but who cares? Buy! It's Friday. Consider this a pre-weekend gift!
Someday the "wheels" will come off this crap-wagon. And when they do, we'll bless the day we were able to buy cheap bullion.
Anybody selling the actual metal at paper prices is a fool (and that includes Miners, which probably explains why their stocks are underperforming).
CNR everytime I see your avatar and name I laugh
buying opportunity if you have a place to store it, guard it and keep it safe.
Wish I could load the boat, but I'm tapped out cuz I thought all the other takedowns were the bottom. Semen gurgling mother-fuckers at the Fed.
One of the most dependable shorts around, like Ocean Pacific use to be, anyone remember OP shorts?
Loved OP and Ron Jon clothing.
I had a black tee with a glow-in-the-dark fish on it for many years.
Wish I could still find / fit into one.
Maybe I need to get on the Kyle Bass diet ...
Sounds like the same vintage as the Rude Dog T-shirts and Bugle Boy jeans (when they were awesome in Middle School).
Vans ~ Off the Wall
Same shit different day.
Anway,since many of you no doubt who watch CNBC with volume on MUTE i've put this in case ya missed yesterday's interesting, rather hilarious Tom "gold report" O' Brian giving it all in the 10 minute gold discussion on Bloomberger......
'The era when safehavens are no longern safe'..........
Four familiar guests: Tangent Capital Markets James Rickards, Author of "The Gold Report" Tom O'Brien, Holland & Company's Michael Holland and Merk Investment's Axel Merk discuss their investment strategies on Bloomberg Television's "Street Smart."
http://www.bloomberg.com/video/the-era-when-safe-havens-are-no-longer-safe-g89TAqpiT0yA7mRqpxHR1g.html
I heard an interview maybe 2 days ago saying that the world has a new safe haven which is US Equities. I about fell on the floor laughing. I belive this was on Bloomberg.
These guys need to impart their wisdom to the Chinese, Russians, Indians, and all the other global creditors before they buy out the Comex and GLD inventories. Because while they seem pretty happy to BUY at the paper price the traitorous bastards at the bullion banks are establishing, I'm pretty sure they won't be so willing to play along once they've bought ALL if it.
& ass n' pee?
If 1525 doesn't hold, watch out. It's judgement day today.
I am actively rooting for gold to continue to tank and I mean that with sincerity. My only real question is, is that article the other day regarding comex inventories being depleted at a massive pace correct, and is it still continuing. I believe this is paper starting to seperate.
@ Fonz:
You may find this one interesting:

Also, if you want to follow Comex, check out Harvey Organ:

Fonz, you can check the daily comex warehouse inventory data here;

Comex won't chart the daily data for you, but you can find these charts on the web. 24hrgold has a good one for registered Comex silver.

I was thinking groundhog day.
And if 26 doesn't hold for Ag, look out below. We could be looking at a once-in-a-decade clearance sale, with prices falling to or even below 20.
Which just means that I'll be backing up the truck and buying every bit of physical I can get my hands on.....
These patterns are not normal. Going by the physical market sales figures, the price action looks stranger and stranger every day. Is there something ZH is on to here? There is much tongue in cheek mocking of the situation coming from Tyler.
I'm thinking the recent Goldman recommendation to short gold is a new sort of double entendre based on the coming implosion of the paper market for gold. Short paper for the muppets, long physical for the house account.
APMEX junk silver premiums are ~$3.80.
I was at a coin show on April 6th. Only 3 dealers of 50+ had any junk silver ready to sell in $10 face value quantity or more.
1 guy had 3 $50 face value bags of dimes and 1 $50 face value bag of quarters. I bought all of his Maples (18) for $30.50 each and told him I would stroll around and return to buy some junk silver. Well, I got back to his case and he was sold out an hour later.
1 guy had some tubes of $10 face value quarters for $22x face, but it wasn't much, and I was looking for halves anyway.
The last dealer who had junk talked to me quite a bit about the junk silver situation. He said that most of the other dealers there would take all of his junk silver at $21x face value if he didn't sell out during the show. He sold me 56 franklin halves at $10.50 each (21x face) because I bought so many. He was quoting everyone else at $22x face to make a bit more. The person in front of me in line bought all of the guy's morgan and peace dollars right away.
My theory: High silver prices caused the sheep to sell their junk silver to dealers to make quick cash. Lower silver prices have caused anyone who still has junk silver they want to sell to hold on to it. There are more buyers than sellers, just look at Craigslist to see how many people are paying cash for ANY bullion on the spot. Most of the low hanging fruit has been picked from the sheeple, IMHO.
bitcoins suck ! Silver sucks so hard it's using it's appendix as a bonnet for my bell end .
Increment Bitchez
Ass n pee fahive 100?
Everyone is selling to buy Spot natty. Never mind the compression on the NG fwds.
And US Dollar is climbing.
http://bullandbearmash.com/chart/spot-silver-daily-overlaid-with-us-doll...
Silver overlay with USD.
Wow, another Silver smash. Surprise, surprise. Yawn.
the sellers - what are they buying instead ? T-bills ?
Crack.
Let me guess the advice from all the ZH readers... BTFD. Same advice at $1900, $1850, $1800, $1750, $1700, $1650, $1600, and $1550
another $30 lower from the open. Let me guess.... BTFD
I bet you'll be laughing when the price is $0 but there is none for sale, right?
Yep. My usual online seller has been having "IT problems" for the past 3 hours, and can't accept an order. Quelle surprise!
It's a stop run on the paper. Nothing more.
Got Gold?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321106095906?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p...
Hopefully now the stupid goldbugs, will sell their useless gold and get into stocks. I mean, you need to leave the sinking ship people. I told you gold will go DOWN MASSIVELY. during the next 4-6 months it will go under 1000.
Yeah, if they have any brains, "sell low, buy high", right?
Depends when you bought. if you bought low then SELL!!! if you bought high, SELL before you loose to much. Stupid gold buggers, they thought that gold would make them rich haha.
you have goldbugs confused with bitcoinbugs. we dont own gold thinking it will make us money, we own gold so we can keep the money we have.
I love you because you're so dumb!
it does not matter what price you bought at. All that matters is what the future price will be
Come on man , i trade paper and stocks to sustain a modest life , but gold is NOT for screaming booya and giving it your best shot with the latest direxion 14x etf , it's about protecting your capital. Sure it looks bearish near term , and it's probably gonna test 1300's or whatever.
Sure , there won't be any paper bulls left in this market , but if you think it will mean the end , you're in for a surprise.
In your fucking dreams pal I'm buying more.
Yes, buy dollars and US bonds or Dow stocks they are all great investments, not something finite like Gold or Silver. What a pile of shit we have become, nothing is real and no one tells the truth. Love this Jewsih mob, this is precisly what they did in Weimar Germany.
But if you want to take delivery of physical, UK gold and silver dealer is sold out.... yet again
until the COMEX runs out, it's not a problem
maybe that's the point. If comex truely is tapped out they're gonna need to drive the gold paper price down to $300 so they can settle for cash like the fine print says.
these niggas off the hooks lol
Who is saying that the COMEX is tapped out? I took delivery of a gold contract last month... was not an issue. Any report of a shortage is way overblown.
Ah so you're the source of that big COMEX drawdown?
Why did they let you live?
If it is up to the issuer to settle for cash, then what the fuck are they selling and how does it relate to the actual price of anything? We have institutionalized fraud up and down the system.
That multi-year support line at say GLD 150 is being carefully broken. This is the line GS is looking at. Next stop GLD 144.
$1,500 is also a nice target for a stop run.
This should have been fairly clear for paper traders; there should be no weeping or gnashing of teeth, this is an ugly game and GS knows how to play and has the means.
You just stand back and let it drop.
I am talking about trading the paper here.
$44 and widening.
So... Copper DOWN almost 11% in the last 2 months.. while S&P UP roughly 6% in the same time period.. wtf
Yeah. I guess that means Dr. Copper is stupid now. /sarcasm
I'm more perplexed by this 'market' everyday... I'm also perplexed as to why I get a red arrow for pointing out another in a long line of this 'markets' absurdities. I guess everyone has an opinion, to each his own.
Just ask our fearless leaders. All you have to do is "believe" and it will come true.
Don't look at your up/down arrows there are serial junkers who just go to every comment and click down. You'll get used to it.
I gave ya one just for grins. The blog bots are busy today! Keep on truckin'.
Well, you see, this modern economy is all about the value of ideas that don't really need to be transformed into concrete products, so no raw materials are used but the S&P is up because of all those bullshit^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H idea rich companies.
That or the stock market is a complete fabrication and manipulated up the wazoo ...
I just checked on my little stash. Looks safe and happy in it's box. Maybe I will sell some in a year or two.
What about your face, does it looks happy? Sell now, come on. dont be stupid. you thought gold was gonna make you rich, you made a mistake. take it like a man, forget your own pride, and sell the rock.
Don't hate him. He's not as dumb as you are.
People keep gold for the long haul. They do not switch it out daily like you do to your multiple boyfriends and their dicks at the fudge packing factory.
Why do you care whether people sell their gold or not? Oh I get it, just being an asshole. OK, if that's your thing, I guess have a good time.
Codependency. It's the national pastime. Everybody wants a piece of your life to control.
The gold buggers have not been so loud today, have they haha.
Never stops the morons though, does it?
You gotta love these hired trolls... They should really start hiring intelligent ones though, this guy sounds like he barely made it through American grade school...
Intelligent people have self-respect.
This PoopTheStock is only a garden-variety troll. Quite lame, no rational arguments, no facts, can never get past two sentences per post. Best to just ignore him.
Ag for life bitchez
Why argue with idiots? They'll only drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.
Days like this do not worry me in the least. The bottom line is, that as long as DotGov/Fedco believes they can solve the problem of "Too Much Debt" by creating "Moar Debt" the long term trend in Gold will stay intact.
Bernanke, zapping the Wall St. Corpse with his QE Defibrillator does not bring the real economy back to life. The only things holding the show together now, are Fed QE, media propaganda, and the blind faith of the masses.
What are the odds that the DotGov will start behaving responsibly with "money"?
What are the odds that the 100M US citizens not participating in the labor force will suddenly all find good jobs, that pay a decent wage?
What are the chances that the Fed will end QE any time soon?
The trend is your friend, and the trend tells me that "moar of the same will not produce different results"...i.e. "The same actions/forces/policies that drove Gold's 'price' from $280 to $1900, will continue to drive Gold's 'price' for the foreseeable future."
You are crazy if you are passing up this opportunity. Wait until the Benankecoin bubble implodes. Then you will understand why gold is used as a reserve asset at every central bank on the planet.
@ Quinvarius:
+1,000!!
"Bernankecoin".......LMFAO. I'm going to call it that from now on.
Hey look at me, I'm Popthestock... ZH attention whore. for a share of AAPL I'll let you bang my hideous wife who treats me like shit. I come on here to feel better about my shitty life.
So lets see here....The immoral short fingered vulgarians at the Fed and treasury have bought all the bonds, are pumping the equities, pushing down PMs......well the only thing left to buy , given the inflationary aspects of their immoral money printing is food...
Long Corn, wheat, Beans..?
If they start to manipualte the price of the food commodities.... then we are reallly run by a Politburo.....
manipulating food commodities causes riots like in Egypt so it is much more dangerous game
Coming soon, to a country near you.
The morning gold "FIXING"....
At least it's off the lows...-40 later...
double posting dickhead.
So what are you trying to tell us?
Do you have a mouse in your pocket?
This time is different because of my emotional attachment to the asset class.
This reminds me of the dot com stock message boards. The first lesson: Don't fall in love with any asset class. it'll rip your guts out. The 2nd lesson: price and fundementals don't even live on the same planet. The 3rd lesson: It's usually a sucker move to knife-catch against a strong trend.
This is just a leading indicator for stocks
I surprised the junkers are up this early. Usually the lazy fuckers don't get out of bed until noon.
Got 2 Get up "Early in the Morning" [says the Gap Band], to become the next 'Winklestein'...
Not sublime enough.
