Silver About To Explode As JP Morgan Cheats On COMEX Silver Deliveries?

Posted by AGORACOM at 5:56 AM on Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

The following video caught the attention of a prominent investor I follow online, so I watched and it makes a lot of sense.  If so, we may be about to see a massive “melt-up” in silver prices and accompanying junior silver companies.  As you all know, I am extremely bullish on Oremex Resources and hold shares.

Watch the video, let me know what you think.  You can post to comments below, or members can post on our Silver HUB. If you’re not a member, you can still post using your Facebook account.

VIDEO: Marc Faber On CNBC …. QE3, 4, 5, 6 ….

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:10 AM on Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

Faber on Japan, the Fed and QE ….. For those of you who think Faber is too pessimistic, he does view the current Japanese sell-off as a buying opportunity but says all bets are off if a meltdown takes place.

Further QE means greater inflation, higher gold / silver / commodities, which is bullish for TSX Venture Juniors and the TSX in general.

Vicious Money Printing Cycle = Junior Resource Stocks

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:36 AM on Thursday, January 13th, 2011

“Quote the chairman: “This fear of inflation is way overstated. We’ve looked at it very, very carefully. We’ve analyzed it every which way… We will not allow inflation to rise above 2% or less… I am 100% certain i can control inflation.” Presenting the Jefferies global commodity index (CRB) which just hit a 27 month high.” Tyler Durden – Zero Hedge

The downside to printing money for the purposes of stimulating the economy is that commodities rise, which makes things more expensive, which leaves people less money to stimulate the economy.  Nonetheless, Ben Bernanke and The US Fed continue to claim inflation is under control.  The data below clearly shows otherwise.

American disposable income is getting chiseled away at the gas pump and grocery store.  Their pocket books don’t lie and they certainly won’t stimulate the economy by purchasing real estate and “stuff”.  The ironic thing is that Bernanke will use the lack of consumer spending as a reason to keep printing money, which will lead to further inflation, which will lead to decreasing discretionary spending, which will lead to further deferral of “the recovery”, which will lead to more money being printed.

The answer to staying out of the vicious circle?  Gold, Silver, Junior Resource Stocks.

Will Silver Be Worth More Than Gold? Video Makes The Case For Silver

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:59 AM on Friday, December 31st, 2010

I’ve been pounding the table on gold for 5 years now and via this blog since February 2007 when gold was sitting at $650 (See “Gold $2,000” Posts).   I continue to believe we are at the early stages of gold’s appreciation.

However, I can’t say I’ve been as bullish on silver and – despite my intuition – dropped the ball when I failed to buy at $18 earlier this year.  I suspect many of you missed this latest Silver push but pondering where to from here? Will Silver outshine gold? Will it run with gold?  Which is the better investment at this point?

Please find enclosed a video that makes the case for silver over gold.  I’m not sold on it but information is power, so it is worth the watch.

George

According To 60 Minutes, Each US State Is A Fiscal Banana Republic

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:57 AM on Monday, December 20th, 2010

Good morning to you all.  The fiscal crisis at the US Federal level is well-documented but – outside of the most astute readers amongst small-cap investors – many are unaware of the depths of financial despair faced by almost every US State.

Don’t feel left out any longer, we’ve got the following 60 Minutes clip that you need to watch over hot cocoa in these next few days.  After watching it, you may have to crank that up to Eggnog.

Most importantly, make sure you take these facts into consideration when planning your finances in 2011 and beyond.  Further money printing is going to have an impact on the US financial scene, the price of gold, etc.

John Embry Sees Hyperinflation And $50 Silver Thanks To US Fed

Posted by AGORACOM at 5:14 PM on Friday, October 29th, 2010

Image Via The Globe & Mail

John Embry has been pretty spot on over the past few years with respect to the price of gold, metals, mining companies and massive US bank failures as a result of poor policies at the US Federal Reserve.  Given the fact we are heading straight into QE2 to the tune of $100 Billion per month, it is no surprise that Embry continues to believe the strategy is doomed to fail.

Excerpt Via The Good People Over At ZeroHedge:

In a recent interview, John Embry is confident the current Fed policy will lead to hyperinflation, and that he would not be surprised if silver hit $50 within the next few months. (I guess my blog category title is going to have to change from “Silver $30”)

On hyperinflation Embry stated:

“I’m another person that worries hugely about hyperinflation, I mean the monetary path that they appear to be following, I guarantee you will lead to hyperinflation.

Regarding gold:

I think we are still on track post the US elections and the next FOMC meeting, if we get some indication of considerable QE on the horizon, I think that will be fuel again to send the gold price up from here and to get it to 30%+ return for the year.

On a gold squeeze:

I think it could very well happen this time because the physical market is robust, and I’m told there’s not a lot of physical gold available right now…We could very easily overrun the shorts at Comex and force them to cover, even though they have extraordinarily deep pockets. If that happens, we are going to see some really spectacular price moves as a result….I think that’s why when these things move, all the gold stocks, I think you’re going to feel like your hair’s on fire they’re going to move so fast.”

BREAKING: Silver Price Manipulation Lawsuits Begin. Expect More To Come

Posted by AGORACOM at 7:31 PM on Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

Via Zerohedge:

Yesterday’s announcement by CFTC commissioner Bart Chilton that he was fully aware of fraudulent efforts to persuade and deviously control silver prices may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back on precious metal manipulation. Today, Brian Beatty and Peter Laskaris (Southern District Court of New York, cases 10-08146, and 10-01857) sued the two firms at the very top of the precious metal manipulation pyramid: JPMorgan and HSBC. The lawsuit, which seeks class action status, alleges that “between in or about March 2008 and continuing through the present, Defendants have combined, conspired and agreed to restrain trade in, fix, and manipulate prices of silver futures and options contracts traded in this District on the COMEX division of the NYMEX. Defendants thereby have violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C ¶1. Also during the Class Period, individual Defendants have intentionally acted to manipulate prices of COMEX silver futures and options contracts. Such conduct violates Section 9(a) of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. ¶13b.” And so, the tidal wave of lawsuits by all those who may have ever lost money trading precious metals against JPM et al begins.

The lawsuit alleges that the means by which JPM and HSBC manipulated the market is as follows:

  • Defendants have effected their foregoing restraint of trade and manipulation through diverse means. These means themselves include lawful and unlawful acts.
  • Defendants have held large positions in silver futures and silver options.
  • Defendant have held a concentrated and substantial amount of the open interest in silver futures contracts
  • Defendants have made large trades at key times.
  • Defendants or others have made large “spoof” orders which appeared on the trading screens; “spoofing” is the submission of a large order which is not executed but influences prices and is then withdrawn before it reasonably can be executed.
  • Defendants have communicated with and/or signalled one another their trades

Continue To Zerohedge article to see actual lawsuit filing.

This may be the first of such lawsuits but don’t expect this to be the last.  Across the USA, bigger and badder law firms are preparing their own lawsuits.

Further, don’t expect this to end with silver.  GATA, Sinclair, Sprott, Ron Paul et al will be vindicated in their assertions that gold too has been manipulated down for years.

George
