Let’s see what, if anything, happens … Basic banker thinking: "If I can't practice frauds in the trade... then I can't make any real money on it... so I should just sell the crap... as otherwise it will cost me storage costs without any ability to earn enough from it to have it pay for itself"... So, gold and silver should plummet as the bankers start selling all they own ? And, if they don't... then... ? Of course, they've been buying since 2008... and since 2011 increased the efforts in manipulating the trade in order to buy MORE ? So, how are they going to profit from holding that costly wasting asset... unless... ??? So, if gold and silver don't crash as bankers dump their holdings... you know they're planning to devalue the currencies relative to it... but will do that only once they've ensured all the bankers "got theirs"... expecting the revaluation of gold and silver... will fill in the cumulative in black holes cause by frauds and failures in the derivatives trades... ? But, that doesn't mean that the timeline on implementation of the rules... defines the point at which they've determined they've "got theirs"... well enough to proceed to allowing a revaluation ? And, it doesn't define HOW they'll proceed in enabling a revaluation ? Two scenarios: You might expect, first, that the trade simply becomes a whole lot more volatile... as a more volatile trade is one that the bankers trading desks can make money on... and the net stable funding ratio... which might limit their ability to suppress prices indefinitely by burying physical with paper... does nothing new to alter their ability to manipulate the market price... up and down... by the usual means ? And we just saw that demonstrated... in the fake "market crash" a Friday or two back... ? And, back to February... particularly in silver... what we've seen is increased manipulation of price... even flagrantly obvious manipulation of price.... with not a damn thing being done about the obvious fraud of it ? Expecting stability... from a forced stability in % ownership versus "holdings"... ? That's not the same thing as a forced stability... in PRICE ? Price is likely to have been made vastly more stable by the mass of paper in the suppression trade than by the removal of it... And, the reality, still... is that fraud in price manipulation is still "legal"... for them... as long as no one is willing to enforce laws against fraud... or as long as the costs of it are low enough to be written off as a minor cost of doing business, only. And there is no element of the trade in PM's I see... that isn't about fraud... So, you might expect the key is... the bankers know what the target price on revaluation is... and you don't. They can still run gold up dramatically... and take it back down again just as dramatically... causing panic selling... with banks selling at peaks to cause panic... and buying at the panic lows... all while fully knowing what the future price will be. The trade is manipulated... and that won't end... just because some limits are defined in how MUCH fraud they can use in the specific "paper trade" manipulation ? So, trade well... and convert trading profits to physical bought at the lows... and never sell the physical. Or, buy and hold from the lows... while thinking gold shares should trade like cryptos... ? But don't be too surprised if the market just goes flat... They don't benefit from being in a hurry ? That the revaluation of gold is being enabled, now... doesn't mean that its more than "the back up plan" for when things inevitably go sideways... So, a second scenario... instead of more volatile... the market just goes dormant... becomes uninteresting... Most likely... they'll coordinate the move in revaluation only with "justification"... when the wheels come off the market... claiming it then as "necessary" to fix things... only after the fact... when the market has already been laid waste ? Just a corollary to "buy low"... that says... revalue your "backup" money to allow you to buy more... only when prices of everything are at the lows ? So, the dueling narratives about "gold to the moon" and "market crash worse than 1929"... isn't as much about a conflict between competing narratives... as much as it is about a time sequence in events ?
