Le Metropole members,
David Tice has served commentary at The Kiki Table entitled Greenspan, Hero of NASCAR. It is a MUST READ serving.
"Yet, these astonishing inflationary...
Midas-
For those of us who believe the stock market is a big bubble and that the gold market is being held down at unnaturally low prices, this is a very frustrating time. I heard on CNBC the other day that the United Parcel Service's IPO gave birth to 30,000 millionaires in that company. Good for them.
... Will this prolonged nightmare ever end?
IT WILL.
And the same principal still applies - for every action there, is an equal and opposite reaction. That is why the gold move up will be grander than most can imagine and this is why the stock market will tank further than most can conceive...
That is why I continue to add to my junior gold share holdings on every opportunity. The overdue move on these devastated companies will be dramatic. Ten fold moves up in share prices will be commonplace. The wait has been agonizing, but the rewards will be very special for those that hang in there. Many of the junior and exploration silver and gold companies are priced near bankruptcy levels.
There will be a coming, internet like frenzy for companies have found gold and silver resources. The eventual stock price multiples for these firms will be staggering.
Keep the Faith!
A little GATA update.
Publicly, not much as been going on, but behind the scenes we have been trying to determine our future course of action while our investigation continues about the bullion dealer manipulation of the market.
Our attorneys have been diligently looking into what course of action can be taken against the N.Y. Fed to force disclosure about their recent price capping activities in the gold market. The attorneys have also poured over the Freedom of Information Act to determine if we can force disclosure there. All this entails reviewing prior cases and the numerous exemptions that the Fed has.
Hard to say what will come out of this - except that if we are blocked in one area, we will attack another.
My gut tells me the N.Y. Fed has a real dilemma. I think they have facilitated the capping of the gold price, but are getting in over their heads. Due to a much higher supply/demand deficit than they were prepared to deal with, they are finding it harder and harder to hold the gold price down. They lost control of the market last month and they will lose control again.
It would appear Alan Greenspan is keeping his word, "central banks stand ready to lease gold in increasing quantities should the price rise."
The price of oil has increased 150% in one year while Greenspan and Co. have made sure the price of gold did zip dee doo dah. To hold the price of gold down, the bullion dealers and the N.Y Fed have had to call in all kinds of favors from the likes of the Bank of England and Kuwait (and who knows who else).
Ironically, I suspect their scheme is entering a desperate phase. Will this be another example of "desperate men do desperate things?"
Hard to say. What I am sure of is: one of the great U.S financial scandals of all time will unfold in the months and years ahead. I suspect the United States public will learn that the U.S. Treasury and the N.Y. Fed have squandered a good amount of the gold in Fort Knox. The reaction to that action will be one of significant public outrage.
The gold loans (which probably are in excess of 10,000 tonnes) have not been reduced to any great degree. The natural supply demand deficit still exceeds 125 tonnes per month. Over time, that pales the BOE, Kuwait, etc, gold supply. The bullion dealers, N.Y. Fed, U.S. Treasury and overly hedged gold companies have no end game. No way out. They are trapped in their greedy scheme. They will have a big price to pay and their financial scam, that has devastated so many, will be exposed.
That is why GATA fights the fight. That is why it makes sense to stay the course with our gold and silver investments.
All the best, Bill Murphy, Chairman, Gold Anti Trust Action (GATA) gata.org Le Patron, Le Metropole Cafe lemetropolecafe.com |
