Is This Why Gold Is Outperforming?

Tyler Durden's picture




Gold is significantly #winning today - well ahead of stocks and the USD after being closely synced with them since the lows last Friday pre-ramp. The question is why? We have an idea. Gold and stocks have been closely correlated on the back of expectations of Fed/ECN unsterilized printing - as gold has taken on the appearance of a risk asset - and rightfully so given the nature of these markets dependence on CBs. However, stocks have outperformed in their own manipulated manner as whatever magic pressure has held gold down continues (as they both rise as simple proxies for more money flooding the system). In a very similar echo of 2009, the last 6-9 months have seen the value of the S&P 500 priced in Gold dip aggressively and then surge back. At current levels we are getting 'rich' in terms of equities priced in real stores of value. And perhaps, just as in 2009, we are about to see real stores of value catch up to equity valuations and continue this outperformance...Gold rallied 23% relative to stocks in the preceding three months.

short-term Gold outperformance...

I'm sorry but this is inaccurate. 

Gold rallied as paper metal was bought following a a series of large physical orders in London.

Over the long run, gold will always be going inversely to the dollar (or whatever other currency people have). Equities and bonds, not so much. It's not that gold is outperforming, but that dollar is underperforming.

The PMs have been good to me as has oil (USO, SLV and GLD).  They are all up quite a bit (GLD & SLV over 200% for me) while my house is down 32%.   As purchasing power continues to sink across all currencies, seems that hard assets will continue to rise in response. Sadly, I'm afraid my house is in for 20% more drop...but then again, I bought long before the Bubble Peak and put 50% down so I am simply back where I started.  The zero downers, NINJAs and Flippers are feeling the correction -- i.e., regression to the mean-- the most.

 

BTW, where is that dapper fellow Mozillo?

Like I tell my son who owns GLD.  You own what you're holding.  If it's physical gold, it's gold.  If it's shares in a trust holding gold, it's paper.  He figures he'll get mine.  LOL, it's going to his son.

Gold *should be at $3,200.00 right now, so techincally, it's underperforming via supression locked in a Bot pre-determind trading range. $1,570.00 - $1,610.00

I still bought 20K of Gold this morning and turned in my Silver holdings ready for SHTF.

Good luck and buy a shovel and a six pack..

How the heck can the Chinese buy 100 tons of gold per MONTH, and not drive the price up?  And they're not the only ones.  CBs all over the world are buying by the ton.  This should be impossibe, unless the chinese are getting gold that isn't on the market, per se.

Ben is not stupid, he can see that the US has a debt load it cannot pay back.  There WILL be a default or significant inflation.  A gold standard is VASTLY more desireable to a Yuan standard.  And in reality, the Yuan is not even close to a viable reserve currency.  The chinese are not trustworthy, their new exploding economy is too new and not proven and they are culturally and politically incompatible with the existing world order.  The world would simply reject the Yuan as the sole reserve.

However, they are important enough to make sure they get through this adjustment intact, and not angry about the outcome.

So are they being allowed to convert some of their treasury hoard to bullion at a controlled price?  Are we preparing for a remonetization of gold as a part of a more complex global reserve system?

"Are we preparing for a remonetization of gold as a part of a more complex global reserve system?"

Uh, no. These chumps are not planning anything constructive or even logical. They're desperately trying to dominate the world because they see their power crumbling. They mistakenly believe thhat they can control processes, like the economy, that are essentially and by their nature uncontrollable.

They're suppressing gold because it's the enemy of fiat currency, their ultimate power.

Get ready for more and more desperate moves as the powers that be feel that power slipping away.

They will not go gently into that good night.
