Henry, I was at a local custom jewelers shop, in came one of the local panners that helps supply his business needs.

There was an exchange and the local panner said, "No, don't want to sell near it all, How much you give me for 1/2 of the poke"? Then the old boy says, "Everyone knows there's Big Bankers a swimmin' naked in the futures pool right now, & the tides goin out".

When even the small gold panners are holding back some from the market, something more is up. Blood in the water. Smell it?

Hello, Henry. Since YOU ARE one of the granddaddy inventors of this whole sorry gold lease mess (yes, SORRY MESS is from MY POG perspective) for a few transaction shekels to your commission check and annual bonus calcs, I expected you to pop up here sooner and tell us how every rally had been prior anticipated, and "all shorts have covered."
Frankly, I'm surprised it has taken you this long to say so on this thread. I had expected you sooner.

Tell me something, Henry. Just how thorough is your personal counterparty EUROPEAN bullion bank information re: shorts on the LDMA vs your info on the US Federal Reserve Influenced COMEX shorts.

Frankly, when I read your little blurb just now, I heard you talking your COMEX book and not any LDMA book. Just checking to see which side of the pond you were coming from in assuring this thread that all shorts were covered.

Did you think we were born yesterday?????

How do you expect ANY SANE goldplayer to believe that a mere 7 days shortcovering rally unwinds nearly 19 years of the leasing game you created and have benefitted from?

It took you and your peers too damn long to convince the banks to do this lease crap in the first place 19 years ago for me or anyone else to believe for an instant, they rolled over this easily or gave up the game. For starters, you ARE in there, aren't you, personally, Henry, holding institution shorts' hands, making the phone calls and assuring them you'll find them more gold to lease if they just give you a few days???.

If you hear me being confrontive, you are indeed correct. Hostile? NOPE, just would like a straight set of answers to the above questions I bolded for convenience in you answering, so that this thread knows that you are talking your personal paycheck dependent position and not necessarily the global gold market spectrum position. Especially considering the European competitive EMU reserve currency Agenda is quite far removed from your COMEX position/observation paycheck enhanced by gold leasing post.

For what it is worth, Alan G has been PERSONALLY jawboning big money Gold Buyers to not add physical stockpiles positions since Late March, so this bombshell of Murph's is nothing new. He just wants to sell more subscriptions so that he can finance his next junkets and LD phone tab.

Did I expect you & your bullion bank PLUS others of your peers in the other counterparty bullion banks to give up this quickly? NOT A CHANCE.

So, give us something we can independently verify, Henry. You like to post, and you like a challenge. Let it all hang out, Henry.

Regards,
O/49r

Henry,
I will take positive $6 and change any day, thanks.
Is this the only reason why lease rates ease or are there others? Thank you.

Thank you so much Henry for making a formal appearance on the thread.
I have already posted some of your enlightening posts to thread recently.. I am very greatful that you "arrived in person"

I like your logic a lot! yes the part about the Swiss was quite interesting.. also it seems with the latest announcement the only thing that has changed is that for the next five years, the EU Central Bankers aren't going to shelve gold yet..
ps poor Ole 49er..she still hasn't learned a truth
what goes around comes around or whereever you are there you are -
congratulations upon your young retirement..again shows your intelligence that you are not out to prove anything.(sorry for being cryptic=I guess I am assume a lot of people who play the markets don't really care about money as much as trying to control the uncontrollable-but again what do I know :-)
I find the bond market currently a bit perplexing..ie if consumer is
spending more than he is earning..how in the world can Greenspan raise rates..if US is year2k remediated for most part, and the rest of the world isn't..isn't that bullish for treasuries..
