Ted Butler on Silver Shortages

Silver was around $ 4.02 an Oz in 2000, now it's nearly $28, now that's investment! I'm buying for the longterm, my silver is for keeps unless there's a massive price explosion. Gold for February delivery was tanking $16.20 to $1,328.20 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The gold price Tuesday has traded has high as $1,338 and as low as $1,321.90. The spot gold price was holding up better supported by physical buying down only $5.30, according to Kitco's gold index



Ted Butler : ...No one knows for sure. It comes down to how much additional long liquidation the big shorts can engineer. We are still above all the critical moving averages, so there does exist the possibility we could go lower to get the technical funds completely flushed out. For sure, if we do go lower, it will be because JPMorgan and the other COMEX crooks are successful in tricking the technical funds into forced selling and not for any other reason. But there has been significant liquidation already, so it is just as possible it could be done or nearly so. Certainly there is nothing in the real world of silver that would account for further selling.

Ted Butler there are 550 million ounces less that can be transferred in the future

Ted Butler : Since 2006, more than 550 million ounces have been transferred from unreported silver into reported world inventories, including the SLV and all other similar programs. Currently there are more than 716 million ounces in total world visible silver bullion inventories. That’s a very big chunk of my long-time estimate of one billion ounces in total world inventories. The way to look at it is that there are 550 million ounces less that can be transferred in the future. The long-term rise in price would seem to confirm my thinking.

Ted Butler on Gold and Silver ETFs

This is from an interview with Ted Butler on Financial Sense Radio talking about the current silver demand and the potential for default of the gold and silver ETF's on the COMEX. This interview is dated 10-25-2008.Best to own physical silver and gold.I think the scam is coming to an end.  People are going into PM Buy more gold/silver and hang on.. We are going to need it They're not taking it to free mkt level. Because of the COMEX will go bust and there is no way in hell they can survive in 2011. By end of 20110 is my prediction that COMEX will go bust. THey had isues delivery last April and got gold in the nick of time from ECB who sold tons of gold



What happened to the physical world? Everything now is paper and certificates!! I have 100 tons of firewood here for sale, but I can only sell you paper certificates! Winter is going to be coming soon and it's a good idea to invest early. I also have 500 gallons of oil certificates too and I also sell pigs that fly certifcates as well.

Ted Butler on unreported inventories that can come into the market

Ted Butler : Unless you have Superman’s x-ray vision and can see all the world’s vaults simultaneously, there is no way to know how much is left in unreported inventories.  And I guarantee that you will make yourself crazy if you persist in trying to figure out the amount remaining

Ted Butler on the COMEX silver

Ted Butler: COMEX silver is the only market which must have position limits radically reduced from the current accountability level. In all other commodities, including gold, the level of position limits is not so important because the short position is not that large.  In silver, it’s the core issue.

buy Silver now while it's still cheap,USA geologist society have predicted it would be the first element of the periodic table to run out by 2020...HENCE why China is now offering it's residents Silver bullion bars directly from in their bank branch!..the first time in over fifty years have they been allowed to own gold and silver.The money we use everyday is based on NOTHING,we are witnessing the collapse of the Fiat system and a return to real money based on something!

CFTC to Hold Open Meeting on a Proposed Position Limits Rule
Washington, DC The United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will hold a public meeting on Thursday, January 14, 2010, to consider issuance of a proposed rule on energy position limits and hedge exemptions on regulated futures exchanges, derivatives transaction execution facilities and electronic trading facilities.

The mantra for buying physical is "If you don't hold it you don't own it"
Take delivery is my two cents. Depending on how much you have will depend on the level of security. Personally I store mine in my rifle safe. I'll be in the market for a new safe soon and I will be putting serious (for me) money into buying the best that I can.
It'd also depend on your world out look.
Best of luck

Ted Butler on Silver Shortages

This is from an interview with Ted Butler on Financial Sense Radio talking about the shortages in the silver market. This interview is dated 10-25-2008.I tell you what. If people are to lazy to invest in themselves so be it. I refuse to miss out on this. I am out of work and I'm still trying to get as much silver as I can. I will see you at the top of the silver mountain King. Simple as this, there is nothing backing the U.S. dollar. It is worthless & perpetual debt. Take paper currency & burn it and see what you get. Melt silver or gold, it has many uses from industrial to medical, electronics...etc. Even copper is undervalued by 60% You will see copper hit $10/lb in the next few years. Nickels and penny's have more value than paper currency, its a metal! Buy growing seeds, tools, guns, bullets anything besides holding Federal Reserve toilet paper.

Between this clip and the numerous other ones featuring Gerald Celente regarding purchasing silver & gold, the low number of views really shows you how very few people actually know whats going on.

Bought me some more silver yesterday and im going to pick up some more gold today.

Enjoy the rest of your inflastion filled year Micollision!!!!!

Ted Butler : The End Of Silver Price Manipulation & The Coming Silver Supply Crunch

Ted Butler : The End Of Silver Price Manipulation & The Coming Silver Supply Crunch

Chris Martenson who recently launched a fascinating series of interviews and podcasts with a variety of the most interesting pundits in the world, chats with Ted Butler, discussing such germane items as why silver has such a compelling value story, the coming silver supply crunch, the argument behind the allegations of silver price manipulation, drivers behind the recent price action in silver, why price volatility will increase and the expected outcome of the CFTC's investigation and why Ted thinks it will be "a bombshell for the silver market."

Interview with Ted Butler: The End of Silver Price Manipulation

2010 has been an exceptional year for silver. The price has increased over 50% to-date, and the CFTC (the US commodity regulatory body) issued a statement last month admitting that the market price of silver may have been (and still may be) fraudulently manipulated. An investigation is underway.

Ted Butler is one of the pre-eminent commentators on the silver market. In addition to his decades following the metal, he's spent years raising suspicions about silver's suppression by a few large banks taking on egregiously large short positions. The current CFTC action is a direct result of Ted's activism.

After publishing unique precious metals commentary on the Internet since 1996, I have decided to offer a subscription service which can be found above in the box next to my exclusive King World News weekly interview. The main reason for the change is that I felt somewhat restricted by my weekly format. It is my intention to publish some commentary at least twice a week.

The commentary will include detailed analysis of the Commitment of Traders Report, regulatory developments, supply/demand considerations, and topics of interest to investors in precious metals, with an emphasis on silver. Subscribers will also be able to ask questions.

The service is intended to be source of market information for serious observers of the silver and gold markets, delivered in a no-nonsense manner. No bells and whistles, just unique and valuable content. Always outside the box.

Please note - this is not intended as investment advice and I am not an investment advisor. The service is solely for informational purposes
