Eric Sprott : I am a buyer of Silver today and tomorrow

Max Keiser guest Eric Sprott on commodities prices  (12May11)

Eric Sprott : I have always looked at silver and gold as a situation where the demand will exceed the supply and when I looked at gold in the last decade we had a great change from the demand side which central banks used to be sellers and became buyers we used to have no ETFs now we have ETFs we used to have mining companies with hedge now they do not hedge and the shifts in ownerships have been dramatic in a market where we really seen no rise in supply in the case of silver what really turned me on about 12 months ago was as we witnessed people buying silver , you realize that there would not be enough silver to buy and as examples the US mint today sells as many dollars of silver as dollars of gold when you realize that silver trades at 40 to one ratio means they are buying 40 times physical ounces of silver as they are buying gold , when we sold our gold ETF we raised 440 million when we sold our silver ETF we raised 550 million , James Turk of Gold money he sells more dollars of silver than gold we have a little company called Sprott money that sells gold and silver coins we sell way more dollars of silver than gold , and so here we are in a situation where the prices are 40 to one but the dollars going into it are almost dead equal so I can't see the price ratio staying in this range ...we have been a net buyers of silver everyday , I'll be a buyer of silver today , I'll be a buyer of silver tomorrow so we have not lost any faith to what happened to silver ...I have no fear of silver here , yes it will be parabolic but it will be more parabolic than we have today , I have always thought that silver would trade at 60 to one ratio in terms of prices to gold to make it simple if we measure the gold at $1600 that would suggest that silver could go to $100 I think it might even over shoot downside may be trade as much as 10 to one and the reason I think that is that I believe that gold today is the de facto reserve currency silver has always been a currency people are treating it as a currency , it is a very very small market there is no way that with roughly 50 billion dollar of silver inventory around that we can make it a currency at these price levels so I see the price going much higher ....

Robert Kiyosaki : $200 Silver not out of line

Robert Kiyosaki is not buying Gold and Silver right now but he is still bullish on them : No , but that does not mean I am not bullish on Gold and Silver , the problem with Gold and Silver I say it again I can't borrow money to buy three million dollar worth of gold I have to use my money I won't use debt , other people's money , number two there is no cash flow from that I don't have income from it so and If I have to sell it I have to pay 28 percent in tax , I'd rather put my money on oil project where I got 28 percent tax break right away , that makes more sense to me , at the same time I am still now investing in copper and natural gas because they are all time lows ...when something starts to move like gold and silver I am on to the next venture should I say , and I made my money in gold and silver , I made enough ....when asked if it is safer to buy silver now Robert Kiyosaki says : you should have bought it when it was three bucks that's when I bought so...look I want to say this : I do not like gold and silver simply because of the tax issue in it , if you buy an ETF like SLV or GLD you pay 28 percent tax that's because the government does not like gold and silver because they rather have you play with their dollars their fraudulent US Dollars the counterfeit money , so gold and silver is good and when I say to most people who don't now anything , gold and silver are better than saving money cash , another thing is this , when I look at the world I look at ten year increment here's 2010 going into 2020 those ten year period , in those coming ten years 85 million baby boomers start to retire that's approximately a hundred trillion dollars in social security and medicare the question I have for you : can Obama or the US Congress and the senate can they solve a hundred trillion dollars deficit , I say no they can't so that's why I'll continue to buy gold and silver if I have an extra cash that's what I do ..I love my country I just do not trust my leaders I don't think they are going to solve this problem democrats republicans independent Buddhists christian Hindu Jewish I do not care they can't solve this problem ...China is in a massive problem right now ...so it is not what the politicians are gonna do , it is what you gonna do about it right now , so if you don't know much Gold and Silver are pretty safe bets but not from the tax side from the capital gain side simply because the United States is in a very serious financial trouble and I do not think republicans or democrats are gonna fix the problem...I think we are going down , I think the dollar is going to dive and that's why I am in oil production I am in rental real estate because people have to have a roof over their head and silver has already made its move but it still has more to go I think I do not think 200 dollars silver is out of line but I have already bought it at 4 dollars ,5 dollars 7 dollars I bought as high as 17 dollars then I stopped if you read my blogs I said buy Silver under twenty and sure enough in the last year it has got up a 145 percent went right past twenty...

Mike Maloney and Max Keiser on the Silver Gold Sell-offs

Mike Maloney : as far as the sell-off goes I really do not care , well actually I do I am hoping silver will go down a little bit more because I want to buy more , I want a lot more . silver has yet to exceed its 1980 High we came whthin a breath of it but it hasn't exceeded its 1980 high , can you name one thing on this planet that is still selling at a discount to its 1980 price !? ...
the dollar is on its death bed , the Euro is on the verge of break out , people do not realize that every 30 to 40 years the world has a new monetary system , the dollar is doomed , gold is going to go to infinity so is silver, measuring gold and silver in dollar is idiotic , gold is not anywhere near a bubble , silver is money just like gold , the dollar is a currency not money ....when gold and silver are in the run away it means that the death of the currency is right around the corner , the Hunt brothers were used as the sacrificial lamb to save the US Dollar , the precious metals always always win

Robert Kiyosaki : why Mutual funds are complete rip off

Robert Kiyosaki : mutual funds are the worst place to put your money in I would never put my money in mutual funds because of things called fees and hidden fees they do not tell you how expensive it is , the mutual funds are not there to make you rich it's to make the banks Goldman Sachs and Meryl Lynch rich just remember they just rip you apart with fees ...mutual funds companies put up zero dollar money you put up hundred percent of the money they take eighty percent of the profit you take twenty percent of the profit you take hundred percent of the risk and they take zero risk it's complete rip off and that's why I think we got to have financial education most school teachers will tell you to put your money in mutual funds that's why my book title is what schools never teach you about money because the school system is complicit of Wall Street and the banking system




Rich Dad Poor Dad is the story of Robert Kiyosaki's financial education. He had two 'dads' - one his real dad, who was poor, and the other, his best friend's dad, who was on his way to becoming a very rich man.

Eric Sprott : in my own account I own 80 percent in precious metals and I do not lose any sleep over it

Eric Sprott :...well I think historically silver and gold traded at a ratio of 16 to one so for example at 1600 dollar Gold Silver could be a $100 /oz and that goes back over centuries as what the relationship was , i think it will go back there , I think it will probably overshoot just because it has been so mispriced for so long and when i look at the data that supports that view I just look at the purchases of silver here , so for example US Mint so far this month has sold more dollars of silver than they have sold dollars of Gold but the prices are for fifty to one ! well how long are you gonna have the same amount of money going into silver as it is going into gold and the prices be fifty to one and I see it not only in the mint sales , I see it in this company called Goldmoney that sells in the internet they sell more silver than gold , the company we have called Sprott Money sells more dollars in silver than gold so people are moving into silver , Eric Sprott suggests that investors chose the physical silver over the paper certificates .... in my own account own 80 percent in precious metals and I do not lose any sleep over it he said

How to play the Silver, Gold Markets volatility

Phil Streible, senior market strategist at Lind-Waldock, reveals when he would recommend investors get long gold and silver.: " Well we're seeing the same thing we're seeing that gold silver ratio start to trend up a bit , a lot of investors are coming out of silver markets is that the characteristics of the silver market changed quite a bit you've got a lot of volatility in their you've also got increased margin requirements it's a little bit too chappy for the average investor , so they are coming out of debt but they still want the metals exposure so they're going into a little bit more conservative play like the gold market gold's getting accumulated also by central funds. So you're seeing that that play come in and gold is very supportive."

Lessons to be learned from the Gold and Silver Correction

According to Jon Nadler, senior analyst at Kitco.com, there is a lesson we can learn from the recent Gold and Silver corrections and massive selloffs : I think that the number one lesson is a repeat of the lesson actually and that is that whenever you see the crowds piling in. You've got to be mindful of the fact that when the sky appear the bluest that's when surprises happen. Time and again people learned along the way the hard way by piling in when its headline material and Forget their true Objectives and of course you know buying it in a bubble that type of bubble has consequences "
