  • The Manipulation of Gold and Silver Prices
    Yes, I think JPM's reputed size on Comex is immaterial to the world gold price since that world price is fungible and "arbitrage-able&q... instantly. All discrepancies between NY and other world gold center (Tokyo, London, Dubai, etc.) prices are instantly arbitraged. If JPM can have that many shorts in the NY market and it doesn't really affect the world price, that's the sign of a large and very healthy market.

    I spend my time on price analysis and fundamental analysis and leave the BS to others. I only bother to comment occasionally because the incessant BS pisses me off as wasteful, and I hate to see another generation of gold investors sucked into that vortex of ignorance. Gold is a very worthwhile investment asset, but the distractions of the "manipulationista... are a real pain in the rear when people are trying to gauge the real market.

  • The Manipulation of Gold and Silver Prices
    It's clear to me that the government WANTS gold to go UP not DOWN! Why else would they be inflating every minute of every day? How many times per week do you hear a CONgrASS person or bureuacrat say the word "reflation"? Now is that "manipulation&quo... or just "public policy"?

    Why don't the armies of NCGB's here at this site and elsewhere EVER get it???????????? It's enough to drive a good man to drink on New Year's Eve.

    Happy 2009 to all NCGB's and the very few normal gold investors!

  • The Manipulation of Gold and Silver Prices
    ""My purpose here is to illustrate the reckless manner in which the big players have distorted what were once “normal” markets. JPM is not a gold miner, it is not a gold user, and it is not a central bank. Why, then, is JPM participating in the gold futures markets? For one reason alone: what was once a means for producers and users to hedge an actual production process has become a casino. The big investment banks have “trading desks” who engage in speculation."&quo...

    The stated purpose of futures exchanges was and is to provide a forum in which producers and users may exchange their risk to speculators. Without speculators there is no exchange of risk. What is there about that function which should make you angry and disturbed, seeing evil manipulators under every bed?

  • The Manipulation of Gold and Silver Prices
    Hmmmmm...on the email sending me this article from Seeking Alpha, Hamlin was listed as the source, but here at the site it says Peter Degraaf.

  • The Manipulation of Gold and Silver Prices
    I parted company from the goldbugs in the late 1990's when they were reduced to claiming that gold should go up during deflation (!) and also claimed the reason it didn't go up was because of a massive manipulative conspiracy. But it was back then really just a bear market in gold as it was in oil and grains and the CRB Inxdex in general. What could have been more obvious?

    In many cases the manipulation addicts are paid by the miners and others to promote the gold price in any way they can. I know little or nothing about Mr. Hamlin, and I certainly do not mean to accuse him AT ALL of being in that league. He may simply be fooled by the marketing manipulators' constant barrage as many others are.

    I still love and own gold as a hedge just as I love and own home, car and health insurance. I don't really want to see any of them pay off, but I buy them "just in case". The rest is marketing hype and other uglier varieties of BS.

  • What's It Going to Be: Inflation or Deflation?
    Jason,

    John Hussman addressed both the issue of Treasury real rates (TIPS) and commodity inflation/dollar strength in his weekly letter yesterday...and he also discussed Buffett's NYT op-ed piece at length:

    I think he's on the right track,,,as he ususally is.

  • Silver: Gap Between Paper and Physical Prices Widening Daily
    It's a mania in silver and gold,,,,or was until today. Two days ago CEF was trading at a 21% premium to the gold and silver they hold. And the gold and silver coin shops are doing the sdame thing: fleecing the willing maniacs. :)

  • The Rebirth of Gold and Silver?
    I agree. On the long term charts silver looks very much like where it was for most of 1974 and 1975 after a similar 5 wave rise from 1967. I think silver's going much higher later on, probably next year unless world recession goes deeper than I think it will. In that case it may take two years of consolidation at these lower prices.

  • Precious Metals Manipulation: Lawyers Prepare for Battle
    On first glance it looks like this: "Oh my, they've let the "manipulationista... out of the looney bins again. They are the people who think it's glorious good fun and only right when gold goes up, but it's shady manipulation when it goes down."

    Actually this is what's going on: There's a need to recruit a new generation of loonies and make them so angry about government with manipulation fantasies that they will buy gold all the way down in a bear market as they did from 1980 to 1999. They hire gold newsletter writers and other hustlers to help them fleece the ignoranti. It always works. Just like politics eh.......:)

  • While Gartman is Goldless, I Still Itch for Commodities
    RYFOX looks like an excellent "one stop" approach to "alternative"... approaches. I have RYMFX which is the Trader Vic Sperandeo approach to managed futures in commodities and financials (note, bonds, forex). That's 50% of what's in RYFOX as you know. RYFOX gives the manager some greater flexibility in the commodity and forex area, and since they both started up in March at about the time of the gold peak, RYFOX has outperformed RYMFX.

    I'd say you ARE smart in your choice! ;)

  • A Look at the Gold and Silver ETFs (Part I)
    Most banks have a safe room and can even escrow exchanges like that. They do it for jewelry examinations and sales. That might be safer than a parking lot.

  • A Look at the Gold and Silver ETFs (Part I)
    enviro111:

    Good point about selling options on GLD. As you clearly know, this is how long term gold owners cover their expenses and generate some income on their gold. I made a good bit of money during the long bear market selling call options to the ever hopeful. The GLD listing makes it much easier to do that these days, as you are doing.

  • The Best Safe-Haven Investments, and Some Potential Threats
    ""When it comes to primary palladium producers, there are only these two hidden gems." (PAL and SWC)
    Why not mention the "secondary" Palladium producer and SWC owner, Norilsk Nickel?"

    Or the primary platinum producers like Anglo Plats and LonMin?
