Gold & Silver Surge As Dollar Dumps

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Just 3 weeks after the world could not purge itself fast enough of 'pet rocks', Gold is pushing to one-month highs this morning (at $1120) and Silver just broke a key technical level at its 50-day moving average as USD weakness and global turmoil have seen Precious metals gain for the last few days...

 

 

Good timing?

You would think with what is going on, $50 or $100 moves in gold may happen...Nope.  $9 bucks.  They have this shit so locked down.  You have hundreds of "Dirt Bikers" causing chaos on stolen bikes in Baltimore.
NOTE:THese are not dirt bikers...LOL. Nice try.

Then we have Fergusen erupting again.

The political nightmare.  The bottom starting to fall out on stocks.  Gas is still over $3.00 a gallon here in Portland.  The Bizarro World enters another day.  I am starting to think that maybe the September date people are starting to call as the "Collpase" date may be real.  Have a great day.

Don't worry, the magical market fairies will short sell  another 2.7 billion dollars of paper gold, when the market is most iliquid, to break trendlines and sucker in retail and non insider commercial shorts.

Of course if we really had a free market, the price of gold would be well north of 2000, silver north of 50, but this is your criminal banksters using your tax dollars to fuck you.

@Takeaction 2. Agreed. On a typical BLSBS, Fed Minutes, etc. Bad News + Good News, except for PM's day, moves to the downside would be $30 Dollars. We SHOULD now be getting upward moves of $50-100, especially if the Managed Money crowd start to cover Shorts? But no, $9 up. It looks like the Commercials are going to continue collaberation with the Fed (And CFTC).

yes , but more paper smackdown for now - the comex isnt quite depleted. 1 million oz in silver taken out yesterday alone, but even at that pace it would take 115 days to empty the comex.

theres only 2 games in town, and they aint games:

1) the comex depletes

2) china cant wait for the comex to deplete and the shanghai price disconnects from it

Not necessarily. The Commercials could again let the Hedge Funds off easily by going Short again. They can't piss off the Fed for the sake of a few Billion because they get free unlimited money to play in the Fx markets etc. PM's are so important to the system and such small markets in relative terms it is, I'm afraid, quite possible that they will remain manipulated until the very end.

Over the past 8 years of stacking...(And many raft capsizes in the lake...you would think I had learned)  I wonder if this is perpetual.  How old will I be when the SHTF....??  Sometimes I hope for Silver over $100, but then what would the world look like with $100 silver.  All who are stacking, do you think about this?

there will be a time when using fiat is pointless and silver will get you a looong way. But that is likely to only be a few months in duration. Paper will resurface - but it will resurface a shitload more respectful of phyz

my mantra: i measure my wealth in ounces not federal reserve notes. i measure my wealth in ounces not federal reserve notes. 

sometimes i stop and think to myself: is it possible im being too cynical? is it possible that everything the fed is doing wil actually lead to growth and isn't intended to rob all of us blind? is it possible that the government will get its act together, reduce regulation, end the welfare and warfare states, get rid of our ridiculously complex tax code, abolish the NSA, and pay down the debt?

 

after asking myself a couple of these questions, i realize how fucking laughably insane all that is, take a deep breath, and then i go buy more PMs with the shiteating grin of a conspiracy theory obsessed, gold bug, constitutional extremist.

Only started stacking this year but already have a respectable amount to be lost by a boat misadventure...

I personally think that PM's will turn into a "Hail-Mary" for the markets once paper collapses and we'll get some pretty wild fluctuations, even to $100+ Silver.

For a Mad Max Scenario I go to $1,000 silver....$100 seems actually kinda doable in this climate...

 

The big question tho is of course....how much IS enough?....100 oz silver?..200?...500?...1,000?....whats a good "solid" number in your guys minds?

I have no idea what a good amount is.  So I am just getting all that my finances will allow.  Along with other items that seem prudent to have on hand in the event of some sort of economic event or other natural disaster.

My personal goal was to eventually have 1 monster box (500 ozs) of silver.  I am not even half way right now.

That's the real question, isn't it? The other question is, do I really want to live in a world of $1,000 silver? Trust me, it won't be pretty. On the other hand $100-$150 silver as you say is quite plausible and allow you to live quite well with a couple thousand oz's of the stuff. And don't forget a few hundred oz's of lead/brass/copper in various sizes (cal.). By the way, Lake Mead would be a wonderful place for an unfortunate boating mishap. The place will be dry in a couple of years and you could easily salvage your lost valuables.

Clever idea, as you can check the internet for the water level, and know when your brown-painted monster box is just becoming visible in the depths.  You can stagger them for retrieval at different times.  Hope you are available as each comes up.  If you are worried about being bugged out or in jail, consider a cinder block with one of its two cells cemented up (with your stash inside), plus a bit of frayed rope attached.  People wandering the rocks will think it's a lost anchor.

Do consider problems with sediment.  A spot close to a canyon bottom is likely to be weak sediment instead of solid rock.  Plus, as the lake recedes, sedimentation will begin again in that spot, burying your stash.  Get an ancient topo map and drop the stuff over a bench.  Do some depth tests and sediment-retrieval tests first.  All you need is a strong fishing line and a DIY sampler doohickey.

"All who are stacking, do you think about this? "   

 

I can only hope for a better world for our kids. That would mean the fair value of gold, not one manipulated by printing of more fiat and an economy that is healthy.  I'd like it if we had an economy that created real jobs, making real things not ad space on a Facebook web page. For me that would mean jobs in a private/public partnership manufacturing clean energy solutions, high speed rail, fixing crumbling infrastructure and cleaning lakes, rivers and oceans, restoring top soils. This translates into jobs.  Also an economy that is smaller and decentralized-the support of family farms and small business. A healthy economy based on reality and less consumption and less military spending by half would put gold @ around 1500 oz. Whatever the outcome, for the well-being of our kids praying for a no SHTF scenario. We just need to agree on what our priorities are as a nation.

Gold & Silver Surge

That's hardly a surge.  The Fed can drop gold by twice that in a nanosecond on a Sunday night at 3 am by dumping $3 billion in gold futures.

Wake me up when gold rises $50 in an hour.  And silver a dollar.

Gold up $40 would be a surge. Up $10 is noise. C'mon Tyler, leave the hyperbole to the gold hucksters.

I don't disagree. North of $40 was more relevant when gold was $1200-$1300. A$40 move starts to become more relevant as the price of gold drops. I think we would both agree though that a $10 move is noise

I wouldn't be surprised if gold gets up to $1250 or $1300 over the next month or two.   Just to come crashing down again late in the year. 

The difference with be when it comes down again, it's going to go even lower than the past few weeks. 

Gold prices are manipulated by small amounts, over short periods of time.   Large swings are caused by general sentiment and FEAR.  

That fear is in part because some people don't know what else to do with their money when they think things a going bad.  Soon as their fears become "normalized", and something they live with everyday, they realize the world isn't coming to an end, they don't fear and don't "need" gold.   Price drops again.
