How to beat a GOLD SHORTAGE

Gold is sold out! Or so you might think if you miss the true nature of coin supply...

By Miguel Perez-Santalla


Over the last few years, during the great investment demand for gold and silver, we have seen sporadic shortages in bullion coins.
Many people have written about these shortages as a harbinger of things to come in precious metals more widely. One of the fads is to decry supply issues in silver and now recently gold. However, the truth of the matter is less dramatic, if not quite so simple.
In most cases, supply issues with silver or gold coins are caused by abnormal or let's say surprising increases in demand from bullion coin buyers. Simply put, coins don't come out of thin air. They need to be manufactured. This all takes time and money. No one wants to tie up their money in a product that is not going to sell. That exposes gold and silver buyers to "just in time" inventory gaps if it's coins they want to buy.

SILVER & GOLD SHORTAGE

Imagine you are selling a low-cost product with a high margin. It is much more likely that you will have enough inventories for almost all eventualities. Look at a typical retail product – how about lip balm? I don't really know the costs but I can guess. Some of the more premium brands sell individually for $10 each and more, but many quality brands sell for $1.00 or so.

Ned Naylor-Leyland: we know that the monetary system is broken

Episode 140: Alasdair Macleod interviews Ned Naylor-Leyland of Quilter Cheviot Investment Management. Ned discusses his recent paper (www.scribd.com/doc/152683206/Gold-Updat

­e-July-2013) and his view that gold has actually been in backwardation a lot longer than this just this last week. Ned sees this backwardation as a very telling point when one considers the large aboveground stock of gold.

Ned brings up a very interesting point regarding velocity within the LBMA physical gold market versus the paper money markets. Physical gold, which should sit relatively still, is moving while currency velocity is low.

They then discuss daily trading volumes and the fractional nature of the precious metals markets before analysing the movement of physical metal, from West to East.
