Gold And Silver Roundtrip To Friday's Close

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It's been a wild ride in gold ($60 range) and silver ($2.50 range) in the last 2 days but for now, the precious metals have dropped back to unchanged from Friday's close.

If you are struggling to understand why gold is not headed 'to da moon' while the US and Japan suffocate us in paper read this:

http://fofoa.blogspot.com

Fofoa noted that 2013 might be the 'year of the window', the year that the paper gold market died. So far his observations have been correct.

If he and Another and FOA are right we will see the paper market collapse and a new 'physical only' market emerge. If he is correct the purchasing power of gold will be a lot higher than it is now regaining it's worth after years of suppression. If he is right this will happen very soon.

no I am not fofoa.

I dont like FOFOA/Victor the Cleaner/freegold stance on silver.........if gold were to be revalued at $55k per ounce, wouldn't all PM's benefit from gold's revaluation........

Yes, without a question. The greed factor will kick in. I don't agree with his stance either. We are to believe that 5,000 years of silver being money will vanish because the silver market is too small????

 

Well I'm not going to argue with those folks anymore but we'll just see. Meanwhile, stack.

The repricing will happen in the visible markets after the banks have stolen every available ounce they can find.  This pullback with phsyical drawdown means the endgame is near.  I think they have to keep the paper market alive to reap the gains.  Maybe it wil be a totally new paper market.  But it seems like it would be easier for them just to use the current one.

90 Minutes until Mr. Turd (Bullard) pours dry ice on the QE FUREVR punch bowl.  Watch us go red until Dudley takes up the baton.  Great day trading day, because totally predictable.  DXY  goes to 84.50, silver below $22, gold below 1,350, WTI below 96.20, then rebounds when Dudley takes over.

On that theme, CD, have you seen this piece dated yesterday from Paul Craig Roberts? I didn't see it posted on ZH.

No Bear Market in Gold...http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2013/05/20/no-bear-market-in-gold-paul-c...

"The misinformation that Soros had sold his gold holdings came from misinterpreting the reason Soros’ holdings in the GLD gold trust declined. Soros did not sell the shares; he redeemed the paper claims for physical gold. Watching the gold ETFs, such as GLD, being looted by banksters, Soros cashed in some of his own paper gold for the real stuff."

and

"Bullion banks and prominent investors such as Soros are the only ones who can redeem GLD shares for physical metal. They purchase the shares that are sold in response to the falling gold price, and present the shares for redemption in gold metal."

(emphasis added)

Tue, 05/21/2013 - 19:07 | 3585876 Random_Robert
Random_Robert's picture

The massive GLD redemptions (and subsequent physical metal outflow) should be sounding alarm bells for anyone holding a position in GLD that is not large enough to redeem a basket of shares for physical.

If you are a small-fry GLD holder, then you are actually a BAG holder when the final physical redemption is carded, and the custodian declares the fund to be defunct due to insolvency.

maybe, just MAYBE you will get par value of your initial investment (on a dollar basis) but I wouldn't hold your breath...

Metals never have two significant up-days in a row.  Hasn't happened for years.

Why, if there were ever to be some follow-through from a positive session, some upside momentum might start to build up and Lord knows what would happen then.

Easiest money in the world: wait for a (rare) substantial up-day for the metals and then go short to ride the following days smackdown.

The 200-point MA on the monthly silver chart is sitting at around $15, I wouldn't be surprised if silver hits that. This happened in October of 2008 before gaining 400%+ in the span of the next 3 years.

The ease with which they can control gold and silver prices is breathtaking.  Apparently with infinite money from the Fed and HFT, you can determine prices precisely.  No one stands a chance against the manipulation even as physical gold and silver get hard to find.  Miners should sell directly to sovereign nations like China and India bypassing all the paper mechanisms that are so susceptible to maipulation.

Interestingly enough, the US Dollar is also up today.  There is an inverse relationship of Gold priced in USD and the USD.

 

http://bullandbearmash.com/chart/spot-gold-monthly-inverse-relationship-...

 

As the USD climbs, Gold should continue to fall - which appears to be what is occurring. 

 

OK, now you can down vote.

 

Incidently, we forecast this fall last December.

tell us so we don't need to 'sign up for the free newsletter'...what did you say?

Fofoa has a noncommercial free blog and a COMPREHENSIVE explanation for what is happening. He has spelled it out for 4 years. It is not technical analysis it is reallt philosophical and logical, built on the writing and predictions of others. He upped his ante in December noting certain changes at the ECB indicated that 2013 could be the year of a great reset in the gold price.

His followers are almost giddy with the price declines because they have an understanding of what must follow. I have even hedged my physical with DGLD. Does your 'system' allow the confidence to do that?

You can show him the facts where he is wrong, but it does no good. (when gold and the dollar have risen together for instance).

His thesis is wrong, therefore his conclusions are wrong as well. He's a day trader and clearly doesn't get it on gold.

This pullback was the signal that the system is giving up and accumulating physical gold.  I don't think I agree with teh 50k price unless there is a complete and total systemwide printfest to cleanse all the credit.  I think 11K or so with a complete debt/derivative default is more probable.   

Tue, 05/21/2013 - 12:24 | 3584395 lasvegaspersona
lasvegaspersona's picture

The 50k number is not hyperinflated dollars. It is based on the predicted FLOW of gold post reset. All the gold in the world does not matter. All that matters is how much can you shake loose after a gold market collapse. Gold has been suppressed for decades. I do not know the final price and neither does fofoa but he did do a blog about how he got his number a couple of years ago. The main message is not 55k!!!! it is 'physical gold is vastly undervalued and this is the opportunity of 1000 years to benefit when the grwat correction happens. I bought into the story so I am biased. I would be surprised to see only 11k though.

In fact if the dollar dies with the gold market collapse the dollar price will be moot. One way to view it would be: does an ounce get you a Kia or a Mercedes?

He also predicts a period of time in which gold will not trade and the last quoted price may be quite low...say $300/Oz. All outstanding paper will be settled before a new 'physical onlymarket' is made. Imagine sitting on a bunch of $300 gold, unable to sell or buy any more. Because of this one needs to have enough cash to make it through the transition. His estimate for the transition is weeks but what if it is months (or longer). I doubt it can be too long because gold needs to flow for oil to flow. It would be an ugly world without oil.

Hosers can call it what they will; their armed forces, gov't, and judiciary all still pledge allegiance not to Canada or even F. Mercury (which would be an improvement), but to the English monarchy.

Surprisingly, when it comes to sovereignty their only hope may be in Quebec.

Anyway, +1 for having fun with it.
