Bob Chapman explains the explosion in Silver prices

Get into gold and silver says Bob Chapman , he himself just bought some yesterday it is not late and at this prices gold and silver are still very very cheap , JPM and HSBc are gonna have a decision at $50 an ounce silver either partial default or total default or a bailout from the Federal Reserve. Gold is going to break out here and is going to go to $1600 , $1650 , silver is another situation , the unusual situation is that JP Morgan Chase and HSBC are short 45 to 1 , that means for every contract they have in silver they sold 45 and there is thousands of them , they're naked short they can't get out they can't buy back into silver which keeps on going up , 3 things can happen here , they either can tell their clients we do not have silver and we are going to pay you 25 cents on the dollar or they can default in complete in other words what is called a force majeure or the federal reserve can step in and cover their losses ....at 46 dollars a share their losses are about 90 billion dollars

The Hunt brothers, marked the history of the silver market

During the seventies in the U.S. the economy was characterized by a rising rate of inflation. The Hunt family, one of the richest families in Texas, decided to protect itself from the perspective of the dollar devaluation. Since U.S. laws prohibited the possession of gold, the brothers William Herbert and Nelson Bunker Hunt put all their bets of the silver and started accumulating all the silver that they can put their hands on. Back then In 1973 the silver price was $ 1.5 an ounce.
In 1979, the hoarding of metal accelerated thanks to interest from wealthy Arab traders. The prices began to rise, reaching $ 5. Thanks to the leveraging of significant quantities of futures contracts, the ascent became, in early 1980, unstoppable. The group headed by the Texans brothers now controlled 200 million ounces, an amount equal to about half of silver available in the world spot market.The prices soared to $ 52 an ounce. The huge bull run seemed successful.
But The Hunt brothers did not taken into account the reaction of the U.S. government which intervened dramatically raising margins on futures contracts on the 'COMEX' known as Commodity Exchange, Inc., a division of the NYMEX located in New York where contracts on aluminum, copper, silver and gold are treated. Thereby creating forced selling by fragile speculators who were in the bullish buying game through leverage. The same Hunt were overwhelmed.

In The COMEX traders still remember with concern the tragic day of 27 March 1980 which saw the incredible drop in the price of silver from 21.60 to $ 10.80. A drop of 50% in a few hours.

Robert Kiyosaki on Kim Kiyosaki

Robert Kiyosaki :" Today, I wouldn't be here without her. She is the brains of the outfit, but she really wanted to learn what my rich dad had taught me, so she has taken off like a duck to water. She has her own corporations; she has her own cash flow. We don't have prenups and all of that but if we ever split, it's already split. She has her own corporations and assets, but the most important thing is that we work together and have fun together. I always say, first of all, she is my best friend, secondly she is my business partner, and thirdly she is my wife. So, I didn't marry one of these bimbo types. The smartest thing I ever did was marry her."

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.
