It's Gold (And Silver) Slamming Time

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It's 830ET, do you know where your ubiquitous precious metal seller-in-size is? At 834ET, someone "special" decided it was the perfect time to sell $590 million worth of gold futures...

Gold...

 

and Silver..

 

Wondering who?

the Sumerians and Egyptians inherited their knowledge from an earlier civilization that lived at the southern tip of Africa and began with the arrival of the Anunnaki more than 200,000 years ago. Sent to Earth in search of life-saving gold, these ancient Anunnaki astronauts from the planet Nibiru created the first humans as a slave race to mine gold--thus beginning our global traditions of gold obsession, slavery, and god as dominating master.

So Stackers sez "$12 silver is possible on a technical chart basis" 

and gets a bunch of down arrows? He is correct - I'm not a chartist, but he is correct, on a 'technical basis' it could go there.

Don't think it will, but near term, it sure could. Gonna stack me some more today or tomorrow, 'cause I'm more a 'fundamental' investor, (whatever the fuck that is any more) and at $15-16 bucks silver looks like a good store of value, but I've stacked it as high as $34 and as low as $15.50 - and it TECHNICALLY sure could go to $12.

So fucking what? Silver is a store of value as much as or more than an 'investment'. It is also a commodity needed in many fields of manufacturing.

So what is WITH you pathetic fucks that down arrow a factual statement because you don't like the facts? I don't like that statement either, but it is a fact. Or maybe you just didn't read it? Silver technically could go to $12. With any number of conceivable black swan events, it could go to $50. 

Place yer bets or stack on whenever you can, but understand the casino you are playing in, and why you are playing.

Central banks slamming gold/silver with paper sales out of one door and buying cheap physical out of the other.

Rumor is JPM is working to corner the physical silver market, buying it below the cost for miners who do actual work to get it out of the ground.

Who's going to stop them? No one.

It's not exactly being "slammed" either unless that's your definition of -0.72%.  In any case, the last time the markets fell weren't there margin calls which resulted in gold selling?  May be same thing going on.

Why isn't someone here that sees this regular pattern just actually trading it, front running it with their own futures account.

I personally have traded the comex markets way back when and felt I was getting ripped off on fills.

Then again, if someone sees these patterns, then they also might have to see the value of charts, because that pattern would show up on a price chart regularly.

I got out of that game over a decade ago. I just own some physical and am satisfied with that. I don't care about the daily fluctuation or if PMs decline another 50%. Disclosure, I have and still maintain the prediction that gold will sell for under $1000/oz and silver, well shit I forget, but much lower then current prices. Let's say somewhere around $12/oz. Yet I do own some because I do find value in holding some physical.

The price will only be considered "fair" once all of this has blown up, the markets are a wasteland and the dust has settled.

Until then its manipulation, spoofing, margin calls, leverage etc etc etc. If you want physical metal, it remains cheap so enjoy the opportunity.

If you are, ahem, "investing" in paper gold in the hope that it grows in value,then I can only say: what the fuck is wrong with you? Does the obvious corruption on show here make you go "yes I'd like to get fucked in the ass today and tomorrow in the hope that I'll break even the day after, only to repeat the process again the following day!"

You almost wonder if some of these smashes are spoofers who were fishing for nickels and opened up big unfillable orders on the downside. Then some big bank says - gotcha - before the order can be withdrawn. The big bank then unloads gradually into the bounce back, which also suppresses any gold rallies.

Silver has been a money pit since it topped out in May of 2011. 4 years bear market? At this point I wouldnt be surprised that it stays subdued for years. I was an avid reader of this site back then but a part of me was screaming looks like a top get out. You live and learn 

Gold is also chillin out at 1150. Still down nearly 40 percent from its peak. 4 years now zero growth and only losses

I stopped taking this website serious a few years ago as they have never ever posted a single positive headline.

You should probably check actual prices of coins.  Anyone who has been buying new issues is getting a 30% plus return within a year.  I have normal run of the mill coins that continue to sell for over $40.  Even old bars pick up a premium.  The paper price is the subsidized price for new silver.  Gov mints are first in line.  They sell their issues close to the price they get.  Then a year later, the price gravitates upwards.  I am not trying to be argumentative.  But buyers of normal coins issued with a couple bucks of spot, over the fast few years, have most likely seen significant appreciation very quickly.  The physical market available to real buyers does not operate on COMEX prices beyond the first melt anymore.
