  1. Could certainly use lower gold and silver prices here. It's all getting so darn expensive!

     

    Yes, madness, hope it doesn't go parabolic just yet. I purchased loads last year and then in Jan 2011 but now I got some more fiat to pump into silver but not at these prices :(

  2. Sprott Adds 6.5 Million Ounces of Silver to Its Trust at Approximately 25.82 Per Ounce

     

    It is my understanding that Sprott 'books' the silver when it makes the deal to acquire it, but the actual silver will not be obtained and delivered to their vaults for some weeks as the market gathers the bullion together and ships it to them.

     

    This was a big purchase and it will be interesting to see if we can spot where it is coming from as inventories draw down. I watch the reports from the Comex each day for example, and how the various levels of supply fluctuate. Then again, in this paper driven world of fractional reserve inventories at the LBMA and the unallocated accounts of certain holdings it may not show up at all, at least for now. The paper game is pervasive.

     

    Our estimate based on the available data is that they purchased 6.5 million ounces of silver at an average price of 25.82 US dollars per ounce. This is a 1.2% premium over today's spot price of 25.51, and a much larger premium over yesterday's paper prices that went as low as 24.10 intraday.

     

    It is interesting that even on very large purchases it appears there is a premium to be paid to acquire actual unemcumbered bullion versus fractional reserve paper claims. Handling charges? lol.

     

    Some might consider the price that Sprott paid to be a 'leading indicator' of where silver will be going. I think when the paper Ponzi scheme actually collapses silver will be much higher than that. After all, "he who sells what isn't his'n must buy it back or go to prison." Unless, that is, they are running the game. Then they just pay a fine and admit no guilt...

  3. According to The Market Oracle's Nadeem Walayat, USD index is projected to fall to around 70 by mid 2011 and GBP is set to rise to around as high as £/$1.80 / £/$1.90 in that same period.

     

    I guess that would be a massive buy opportunity for STERLING GOLD buyers.

  4. Goldman tells clients to buy paper gold.

     

    Alarm bells are ringing everywhere as Goldman (which joins UniCredit in boosting its gold price target) may have just picked the short-term top in gold, after it revised its 12 month target from $1,365 to $1,650. And while David Greely's track record is nowhere near as atrocious as that of Goldman's FX team which manages to top tick the EURUSD every single time, the fact that Goldman is now opening Long Gold recommendations (to go with its current trading recommendations of long Corn, Copper, Platinum and WTI) is reason for big worry. Recall which bank was getting its clients to go all in in crude 2008 when oil was $140+. We would be very cautious when Goldman is on "your" side of the trade. Nonetheless, the firm is pretty much spot on "We believe that a return to quantitative easing will act as a strong catalyst to carry gold prices to even higher levels."
