Silver & Gold Slammed (Again)

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Deja vu all over again...

 

Note the extreme selling pressure overnight as Chinese stocks crashed... then another dump at Europe opened... and now again as US opens.

Trillions in derivatives can't be unloaded at notional, period.  The system is in absolute lock down because once one bank goes, they all do.

Don't worry, it will happen.  The last 8 years have been one of the biggest financial lies we have ever seen.

To put another way, why would Draghi and his banker buddies care so much about Greece, a small economy and country that produces very little?  Because he knows once Greece leaves, Spain and Italy are next and that chain of events GUARANTEES western bank failures - instantly.

And it will happen.

Don't be so sure nope. This all goes to the root of the problem surrounding the elite and the proletariat. The powers in control have the legal system, the fiat printing presses, the police and the military and propaganda machine and the markets. ( what am I leaving out?)

When push comes to shove, the only thing that will really change the status quo is a full on down and dirty ( and bloody ) revolution, and even that won't change anything unless the military and police start to defect and join the people's cause.

So in my opinion, the Euro experiment was a way to consolidate power, is all, and even if there is a Grexit, the ax is just chopping off a limb, way up on the tree, and nowhere near the root.

Fri, 06/26/2015 - 11:23 | 6237813 nope-1004

Valid points.  My question would be then:  Why not amputate already and get this over with?  I mean, it's been 6  years of this shit.  If they can cut limbs off, as you say, without an adverse effects, it would have been done long ago.  Greed and patience don't go hand in hand.  Bankers are greedy.

Also, why are Draghi and Merkel always throwing tantrums over Greece?  Small country, relatively small economy, little to loose.... right?

I think the EURO experiment was not an experiment but had every intention of creating a monetary system to control Russia, China, India, ME and South America.  Looks like it failed, but they won't accept that fact.

Behind the curtain sits some real problems  Yes, I agree the money men own the military, legal system, etc..  But everything is priced in USD and that is what is at risk as other nations band together to explore other means of trade.

Who knows what all the permutations of the elite's thinking are, nope? I presume they want it their way, regardless. I disagree with you that greed is necessarily impatient. The banksters have been extremely patient over the centuries in consolidating power and amassing wealth. No doubt though in my mind that this is a fight to the death between parasite and hostif the host resists . Of course it would help if the host knew that it had a parasite.

@nope 1004 funny,  Iwas wondering the same thing about USD rise during EU crisis, but I still don't believe this is "it" as far as greece default/grexit goes. I don't really know what exactly is going on, is because as of a day or two ago, I swore off clicking on any more of those articles, and i meant it. Ive been trying to always have a little dry powder andtime silver dips below 16, but I think we may have a little lower to go. It drops on uncertainty, so when they manage to kick the can and everything is saved(until next time in a couple months) they will surely take another pounding. I think we may test sub 15 sliver and sub 1100 gold again before all this is over.

Reminds me of a joke.

When a young salesman met his untimely end, he was informed that he had a choice about where he would spend his eternity: Heaven or Hell. He was allowed to visit both places, and then make his decision afterwards.

"I'll see Heaven first," said the salesman, and an angel led through the gates on a private tour. Inside it was very peaceful and serene, and all the people there were playing harps and eating grapes. It looked very nice, but the salesman was not about to make a decision that could very well condemn him to a life of musical produce.

"Can I see Hell now?" he asked. The angel pointed him to the elevator, and he went down to the Basement where he was greeted by one of Satan's loyal followers. For the next half hour, the salesman was led through a tour of what appeared to be the best night clubs he'd ever seen. People were partying loudly, and having a, if you'll pardon the expression, Hell of a time.

When the tour ended, he was sent back up where the angel asked him if he had reached a final decision.

"Yes, I have," he replied. "As great as Heaven looks and all, I have to admit that Hell was more of my kind of place. I've decided to spend my eternity down there."

The salesman was sent to hell, where he was immediately thrown into a cave and was chained to a wall, and he was subjected to various tortures. "When I came down here for the tour," he yelled with anger and pain, "I was shown a whole bunch of bars and parties and other great stuff! What happened?!"

The devil replied, "Oh, that! That was just the Sales Demo."

The real question in my mind is how long can demand for physical be supplied by the various stocks of metals around the world. Is demand that weak? Are the supplies that massive? It's all good and well to talk about how it's just paper gold and silver being manipulated, but the fact is that if the demand for physical were really that strong price would have to rise.  Can't argue with facts. It seems like TPTB have citizens grubbing after the fiat, and the PM's really are ancient relics.

I understand about naked short selling, and I'm sure it goes on all the time, but still, the fundamentals are there. If there was strong physical demand the price would rise. Naked short or not.

So why do the Gold miners put up with it? The Comex delivered a whopping 85 tonnes to the market last year, in a 5000 tonne market. Why do the miners allow this small Gold conduit to set the price of their product? I have to think that all the major Gold company CEOs are nothing but Peter Munk "wannabees", and have zero interest in the mining industry, and are absolutely in the employ of the banksters.

This is why constant so called "market "interventions do not work. At this price they are trying to say that the entire hard rock silver mining industry's product is only worth about 6 billion a year.

Mines will have to start consolidation or shuting down to survive. And they wonder why people in the western world do not have jobs.

Good luck, Caterpillar and the entire supply chain trying to sell new equipment to the hundreds of companies in this industry.

Its beyond absurd. Its broken and they will eventually reap what they have sown.

You could take a mere 4-5 million levered dollars and knock this industry completely out at this point.

The "supply" of gold has of course long been inflated to death via futures, options, ETFs, unbacked short contracts and such.

Ridiculous...the better the fundamentals are for holding (real) gold - and they're improving DAILY - the lower the manipulated "gold price" goes...

I hope the serious players are buying with both hands at these prices...

Please explain to me how that can work? It's been 4 years that the price has been dropping. If there really was such strong physical demand, the price would have to reflect that reality. The bears are in control paper and physical and all. Period.

eddiebe - Physical demand has (more or less) decoupled from paper spot price.  When physical demand surges (due to a paper price meltdown) the premiums increase on every ounce purchased.  So say the paper price falls to $1000.  One could expect a lot of interest in buying physical around there, yes?  You can bet your last dollar that at that price level, premiums would go through the roof, probably close to double what they are now.

The commerical postioning vs the spec positioning indicates a low probability of a decline.  It is not the biggest set up for a short squeeze in paper I have seen.  But it is probably worth watching for anything that looks like a failed stop run to the dowside or a capitulation reversal.  Like maybe what happened last night.  You can see the CME bucketshop action predictor lines at the bottom of this chart.

Weekly and monthly charts suggest PMs probably have one more sharp leg lower.  But ultimately you will have your golden future, beyond question.  Soon... likely later this year we will see the bottom of a lifetime.  But with the gold silver ratio currently at 74:1, when over the last 5000 years it has averaged around 13:1, it's time to back the truck up to the silver loading dock, not the gold dock.

Thanks for answering.

The question was not a joke to me.   I have a lot invested in PMs, both Gold and Silver, physical and out of US trusted authenticated paper like CEF.

I am wondering whether PMs will be the last thing to be let loose by the FIATSTERS as once PMs become established as a viable alternative to FIATs agin, the game is over.  

That means anything short of total currency collapse, FIATS win.  Unless it is in their interest to let PMs run, and I am wondering what that would look like?  % gold back fiats?, freegold?

I have finally become convinced by the flood of hype that PMs can be a GREAT investment, IF:

1. You don't need income from your savings

2. You don't care about losing your savings or having it rotfor decades

3. You believe that investing your savings in one of the categories, ie PMs, that the regimes, with all their power, are committed to crushing

4. You are quasi-immortal and can wait centuries for the corrupt regimes to crash and the serfs flock to PMs
