Silver Short Squeeze and Backwardation explained

Silver backwardation and the makings for a short squeeze Silver price is treading water lots a catalyst that bubbling here we rebuilding in Japan -- in the futures market and -- haven buying. Joining me for the trade at the nymex it -- our trading Anthony it is the whole Clinton catalysts that should be pushing silver higher but they're not


because of extreme shortage people fear that they wont get hold of the physical in a future time. so they want it now. so the price today is higher than that of a future date. for example if a seller promises to deliver u physical in 2015 at § 20 an oz wouldn't u rather take delivery now paying a little extra knowing well that there wont be any silver in 2015? that's backwardation. JP Morgan won't take it's own ETFs as collateral

Gold Prices Should Be at $1,500 says Jon Nadler,of Kitco.com

Jon Nadler, senior analyst at Kitco.com, says that the gold prices should be at $1500 by now due the weakness of the US dollar and other factors , but he does not expect the silver prices to go any higher from here , he projects the silver at $31 , $32 an ounce ....


Gold is best suited for a long term investments. The demand for gold as a currency and for jewelery has always been robust. Gold is very liquid and it exchangeable worldwide , The process of buying and selling with gold is quite quick. It offers near zero risk of value depreciation.Gold unlike stocks can never go to value Zero , One can even invest in gold online, nowadays. Investors can now buy, sell and virtually trade in gold commodity just like any other stock or equities. This has been a driving factor for many to invest in gold because investing online reduces the risk of actually owning the metal.But in this blog we always recommend the actual physical gold in your hand that you can touch feel and store , do not let anybody hold it or store it for you , better do it yourself .Gold prices are generally not affected by the fluctuation in the currency. The gold price does not rely on potency of the currency. Also, the price of gold is not influenced by any kind of political instabilities or crisis.However, gold doesn't provide any immediate appreciable income. The value of the income has to be seen over the long term.People buy gold in order to preserve the value of their money not for a quick gain cause gold is real money it has been so for more than 5000 years , hold it hoard it and wait ...the longer the better

David Morgan, The Currency Crisis has begun

Andrew Maguire Re-Emerges: Ex-Goldman Trader Exposes JPMorgan, HSBC In Latest Silver Price Manipulation Class Action Lawsuit , I believe mining stocks will really outperform the metals!!!too many scams on eBay - or even local dealers ,stick to Apmex, Monex, Gainesvillescoins Honest people - few worries - good prices , some experts like Adrian Douglas are calling for silver to become extinct in two or three years.Tim Butler is more cautious nd speaks about 4-5 yrs.Well... the geologists said Ag is the first element which will disappear on the periodical table... so... let's buy, and hope!.bottom line is we "can finally see the bottom of the well. But so many rumors. Heard Bill Clinton and Chinese have billion ounces hidden ready to trash market when time comes. Next will be aliens dropping silver eagles from flying saucers. It will never "disappear". May become so rare only used in applications that can justify, say, a price of $10,000 an ounce. Who knows what the future holds. I still believe gvt will steal it all.

Industrial demand from China will boost silver price

The #1 reason why silver will reach a triple digit spot price is the China factor. Prior year 2002, the private ownership of gold was prohibited in China but since early 2009, the Chinese government has been promoting aggressively the ownership of silver and gold to its citizens through China's Central Television, the main state-owned television company. Locals can buy silver bullion or gold bars at any Chinese bank in four different sizes .The Cninese demand for silver is still strong and further physical silver shortage could develop.China and its people are getting richer. They have high savings rate which enables them to invest in production and buy gold, silver and other commodities.
As Chinese people getting richer they will want to increase their standards of living. They will create demand for electronics and other consumer goods.As we know it's impossible to make iphone or TV without silver.Silver is the best electricity conductor.There is a lot of potential for high silver demand.Around 20% of World's population lives in China.


The global annual mine production for silver stands at 860 million ounces. Population of China is 1.3 Billion. Even if half, 650 million, were to buy a minimum of one ounce every month, that is enough to cause a price increase. If the Chinese citizens are indeed beginning to buy gold and silver, then this has to be a strong indication that prices are going to rise dramatically in the relatively near future.China is the only country in the world now that promotes gold and silver to their citizens.

Silver 1:1 parity with Gold - Webbots forecast

Everything is way too inflationary ,the elites have devalued the currency ,but they do not have to worry ,they get billions,so what they can print more for themselves the web bots predict that silver would soon reach $600/oz.,It would be great to see silver bullion at $50 a troy ounce, its still on the up about 38% over a year period. if the empire continues to fall as I think it will them $600 is very likely as you will see and believe .IF webbots put Silver with 1:1 parity with GOLD, we're looking at at least $1300/oz Silver.Try Gold & Silver= $8000/oz Loaf of bread= $8.99 Have you bought bullion yet? Get your silver and food now! I think there will be events that dump on the metals prices, and THEN it will go beyond the "nobody's" ability to purchase it. Huge amount of "shorts & longs" on metals too. Lots of comex/ paper metal investment to get rid of too. Knowing which is the sign with the shorts/longs is an issue.

Robert Kiyosaki : Our Childrens Future in Our Hands

Robert Kiyosaki speaking about the The 4 People in our Lives


Robert Kiyosaki : Yeah, I recommend three piggybanks. One piggybank says savings, one says tithing or charity, and the third says investing. And what I recommend is, even if it's just a penny a day, have your child put one penny in savings, one penny in charity, and one penny in savings. As a parent, you should do it, too, because kids copy you. It's not the dollar amount, it's the habit you're developing of paying yourself first, and charity is paying, you know, your spiritual guide, be it God or give it to a church or give it to a charity, but you're teaching a child very good habits of paying themselves first before they spend everything. And so I'll say it again, it's not the dollar amount, it's the habit that make you rich or poor.

David Morgan on The Asian Demand for Gold and Silver

David Morgan and John Doody on The Asian Demand for Gold and Silver - Financial Sense Newshour Mar/18/2011
China has been stockpiling gold since 2003 China has been buying via government channels from South Africa, Russia and South America . China is the world's largest gold producer and does not permit exports of gold ingots, only jewelery, leaving plentiful supplies for the domestic market.China produced 282 tonnes of gold last year,Investment demand in China rose to 68.9 tonnes from 25.6 tonnes in 2007. But that was still less than one third of retail demand in India, where total bullion consumption topped 660 tonnes last year.

Asian demand for silver is still strong and further physical silver shortage could develop.China and its people are getting richer. They have high savings rate which enables them to invest in production and buy gold, silver and other commodities.
As Chinese people getting richer they will want to increase their standards of living. They will create demand for electronics and other consumer goods.As we know it's impossible to make iphone or TV without silver.Silver is the best electricity conductor.There is a lot of potential for high silver demand.Around 20% of World's population lives in China.

Lindsey Williams : Silver will go to $100/oz

Gold & Silver prices "You have seen nothing yet": says Pastor Lindsey Williams the plan by the global elite to sabotage the dollar, destroy the economy and America by 2012. For the next 10 years silver will be like 2 steps forward 1 step back. But will probably be more like 5 forward 2 back. Their may be one big dip & many chickens will flap & sell, only to regret & see it shoot beyond imagination. You have to look at the industrial & technical revolution & the global economic crisis. After doing my research I don't give a dam if silver goes down, as eventual fiat currency is going to 0, it's a possible small loss or loose everything, whats the fuss.



Gold production is decreasing due to few great Gold mine discoveryes. Witwatersrand played a big rule in gold offer since 1970 and people investing in Gold should observe the whole around this metal. I have seen predictions of Gold falling back to USD 300/oz (speculation) and I have also seen predictions for Gold reaching USD 9000/oz considering industrial consumption and mining supply. Gold Mining production is around 2500 ton/year and demand around 3800 ton/ year. Take your own conclusions.
The United States holds the largest gold reserve in the world. With 8,133.5 tonnes, (241, 207, 076 oz) the US gold holdings are worth approximately $337.67 billion. This massive gold reserve would have to increase 40 times just to cover the debt !! That’s $56,000 a once. But the us already defaulted on its gold reserves back in 1971. So whatever the us has or doesnt have in gold isnt being sold. Roosevelt already defaulted on gold back in 1933. Nixon defaulted on foreign creditors in 1971. Assuming the us still has gold, how much dollars must the us print in order to turn 300 billion dollars worth of gold into 14 trillion?

Robert Kiyosaki : earned income is the most highly-taxed income

Robert Kiyosaki : .... which is the worst type of income? When you say to a child go to school and get a job, have a 401K, that's earned income. The problem with earned income, it's the most highly-taxed income there is. Then there's portfolio income, and portfolio income is oftentimes called capital gains income. So I buy a stock at 5 and it goes to 10 and I sell it, then I have portfolio income, and I pay approximately 15% on that. But if I have passive income--passive income is generally from things like patents or in my case intellectual property from books and from real estate, passive income, if you know what you're doing, you can pay zero taxes. So earned income is taxed at approximately 40%, portfolio income is taxed at 15%, but passive income is taxed at 0%, if you're smart. So that's what I say to people. I'm not into tax evasion, but I want to do my best to work, earn as much money as possible, and pay the least taxes possible legally. But if you say to a child, go to school, get a job, and get a 401K, they're basically a tax mule for the federal government."



Alot of people still stuck on the old ways of thinking and ignore the cashflow quadrant. Truth is...the days of going to school and getting that good job are over. Trust me, you can always be replaced and your boss will kick you to the curb if it saves his business money no matter how educated you are. Robert knows what he is talking about and he does rock.

Silver will Outperform Gold , even Jim Cramer agrees

Silver is 4 - 5 times rarer than Gold.It is vanishing fast - due to industrial uses and is too cheap to recycle.In the not too distant future it will be more expensive than Gold.Get some now while they are giving it away....
It will be like buying 25 Van Gogh paintings for nothing - when he was alive.Silver is a tremendous long term investment. but watch out Jim Cramer is promoting ETF SLV , this blog is instead promoting Physical silver that you own and you touch with your own hands , anything that is printed on a paper is practically worth the paper it is printed on

John Embry Mike Maloney, and David Morgan on investing in physical gold and silver

I don't know how long the dollar will last for. But I rather jump out of a boat before it sinks than sit around to see how things turn out.Silver & Gold is your lifeboat.


Diversify with Physical Gold and Silver - BIGGEST INVESTMENT EVER : Silver and gold do not go up. The value of the dollar goes down. Silver doesn't appreciate. It does not produce cash flows. Gold is money. It is not an investment. It is wealth preservation. You can trade an ounce of sliver for the same amount of goods as you could in 1913. The silver to oil or silver to bag of potatoes ratio should never change. Silver and gold are just money. There are arbitrage opportunities at times, but in the long run silver and gold are simply money.Silver is by far a better investment. Look at the numbers of silver over the years. It has outperformed gold and it is still a bargain even at $35.00. Imagine it going to $50.00. or $100.00 Bill gates has 30% of his assets in silver. Maybe he knew something that we did not.buying gold and having the ability to hold it in your hand is better than receiving a piece of paper stating how much you own. Because that piece of paper with that statment is no different than having the dollar bill in your wallet, paper may have a statement (IOU wise) but gold is GOLD.If you are going to buy gold you are better off buying actual gold that you can touch. Not a piece of paper or a certificate - thats just an iou in my opinion. If your going to keep an iou - you may as well hold dollars.There are gold dealers all over. look up the yellow pages

Jim Rogers : Gold will be the great investment over the next decade

Jim Rogers says gold will be a great investment over the next decade as it is expected to test USD 2000 per ounce .Gold is more than just another commodity, it’s a currency. It is THE currency that has been the foundation of every worthwhile economy on the planet for over 5,000 years.Depression is coming and paper will be worthless.Physical gold is alot higher than COMEX.Perth(Australia) has now stopped taking orders until January.GOLD IS A CURRENCY!!!!

'Paper' gold is just as safe as a stock, 'electronic' gold is even less safe. Neither will be available to trade when the dollar collapses.

Silver or Gold Bullion

During the time of Tiberius (time of Christ) 200 denarius was about 21.5 troy ounces of silver by weight, the price to buy 5,000 loaves of bread to feed 5,000 men with their families (Mark 6:37). Average price of a loaf of bread in Canada today is $3.00. To feed 5,000 at one loaf per family would cost $3 x 5,000 or $15,000. Thus an ounce of silver during the time of Tiberius priced in today’s dollars is $15,000 /21.5 troy ounces (200 denarius) = $697 per ounce.



Silver is definitely undervalued. In fact, many top analysts say the prices of silver and gold ought to be reversed based on supply alone. Some say the Earth has less than a decade left of silver left in its ground.  Silver actually has alot of industrial demand. All the Gold that's ever been mined still exists in one form or another.Silver is gonna go crazy like really really crazy as Jim Sinclair's call which is gold going to 1625$... XD get silver and get silver miner! XD . America and the World is headed toward an economic Meltdown!
The majority of individuals are simply to busy to have any insight into the above truth. If you see this truth, then please, for the sake of you and your loved ones, take a minute to empower yourself with the knowledge of what you can do to thrive and survive.JPM said they are going to lessen the naked short positions. With what their magic wand? I will never believe them. They are full of BS and their are always going to be full of BS because the Fed makes money out of thin air and they are not federal and they don't have a reserve.
The industry demand of silver is far much bigger now then in -91, also the central banks was selling of huge amounts of silver in the 90's.

Most silver today is in landfills and the reserves above ground has never been smaller.

This has made silver interesting for investors and the investing part of silver is also getting bigger and bigger.

Another "historical" event is the growing markets in the 3rd world, now getting computers and cellphones. The only demand in the 90's was from west.

David Morgan : Silver has better dynamics than gold

silver guru David Morgan : Silver has better dynamics than gold


The U.S. Mint just reported another record, but this time it wasnt for gold. The Mint sold more Silver Eagles in March and in the first quarter of the year than ever before. A total of 9,023,500 American Silver Eagles were purchased in Q110, the highest amount since the coin debuted in 1986.the first thing Roosevelt did was declare National Emergency and institute Martial law the he ordered a reclaim of all the silver and gold the dollar will be worthless but he will pay for YOUR gold and silver in fair Government Terms and Prices
David Morgan :".....Silver has better dynamics than gold from an investment perspective, but fewer people are willing to invest in it. It's a smaller market and therefore more volatile. But the dynamics of silver are better, because it has every attribute of classical money that gold holds—that safe haven status—and it's better recognized as money on a global basis, not just a North American basis. On top of that, it has industrial demand, and most of those applications are price-inelastic, meaning demand will be there regardless of silver's price. So, long term, silver really does have a better investment profile than gold does.I'd say that more people are waking up to that fact, and I'll say it from empirical evidence as well...."

James Turk will rise to $8000/oz in 2013 2015 !

JAMES TURK : ..." I think it is - gold is the bedrock asset in your portfolio. You don't want to take risks with it so you have to be very careful how you store it and where you store it and thing that I always recommend is if you store it in a vault somewhere you always have to get third party independent verification that your gold and silver, if you own silver as well, are actually there in your name, recorded, not encumbered in any way and not loaned out by some bank. So I don't recommend storing in bank vaults, I recommend storing in private vaults like we do in Gold Money - we use a large Swiss company, VIA MAT International to store our customers' gold. So what you really want to do is be careful with your metal. You don't want to take risks with it and storage is an extremely important part of that component." he said in an interview with www.mineweb.com
James Turk Gold to shoot to $8000/oz Hyperinflation a sure thing : do not think gold is expensive , just keep on saving in Gold ....

Money doesnt make you rich : Robert Kiyosaki

Robert Kiyosaki :"...I have a friend who has an 8-year-old daughter, you know, and I went to her, and I wanted to test her financial I.Q. I held up a $5.00 and I held up a $20. I said, "Which one do you want?" And she already knew which was worth more. So I think the earlier, the better. The other thing my rich dad always taught me is that money doesn't make you rich, it's your habits that make you rich. So if you make a lot of money and you have bad habits, then your chances of being rich are very slim. So that's why it's not about money, it's really about financial management and good habits and also financial literacy, so at least you know whether your banker or your stockbroker or your financial planner or real estate agent is lying to you."

Robert Kiyosaki : Gold and Silver is Gods Money

Robert Kiyosaki : Gold and Silver is Gods Money Cash is trash get your silver bullion today while still you can , in 5 , 10 years from now you will be glad you did




when this video was made, Silver was at $15.00 per ounce and NOW it's at $35.00 per Ounce..... It's going to be interesting if it reaches $6,000 per ounce like Robert Kiyosaki mentioned a couple months ago in an interview ,buying silver is just like buying gold you don't really make any money you just secure your money like insurance .silver is going to go up huge in the coming years buy now while it's low, don't sell just yet because you will be glad you didn't later. The way the Fed is printing money like it's going to run out and the debt worry in Europe the safest place to reserve your hard earned money against inflation in silver or gold. History don't like as silver and gold are the safest shelter for your money during uncertain times like we are in. Robert said: "I believe this is the biggest investment anyone can make in the next 100yrs"
I have respected Kiyosaki since i read his first book- He tells the truth without being a "whistleblower" I believe his philosophies 100 percent- and guess what , he's rich and he will always be rich - Very interesting that this video from pre Obama days mentions Poland has 1/4 of the worlds silver supply- april 2010 what just happened- the rulers wer just wiped out in one fell swoop and now they are all set to get swallowed by the EU globalists - think it has anything to do with Polands silver?

Gold Mining stocks vs Gold Bullion

The gold stocks are certainly a wise way to bet on a rising gold price, but the differences with an investment in physical gold are enormous. The stock price evolves according to several factors: cost structure, available gold reserves, production cost, geopolitical risks ... A shareholder of a gold mine which was nationalized, for example, will be in deep trouble. Actions are never a refuge, not even when linked to gold. The physical gold and gold stocks are two very different asset classes. The physical gold is more insurance against inflation, the current monetary systems of the central banks and the shocks of the financial system. The gold stocks can be a speculative mean on a subsequent rise in the price of gold. Rob McEwen, Chairman & CEO of US Gold and founder of Goldcorp explains the difference between the Junior and the Senior mining stocks and why he prefers the juniors

Robert Kiyosaki : young people today, those born after 1970, 1980, will face a far tougher financial world than the old guys like me

Robert Kiyosaki : Well, I don't think it's money, it's the lack of money that's causing problems. If you look at the federal deficit right now, "USA Today" ran a report saying that each family in America today, their share of the deficit is $480,000. That's nearly half a million dollars for every family in America. Another statistic shows that in 2003, more young people declared bankruptcy than graduated from college. Now, bankruptcy, they tell you it's not that big a deal, but it is a stigma that stays with you for the rest of your life. All I'm saying is that if we're going to solve the problem of a deficit, of a poor nation, of social security and Medicare, that problem does need to start with our young in our school systems. Because young people today, those born after 1970, 1980, will face a far tougher financial world than the old guys like me ever faced.

WHY INVEST MONEY IN SILVER? The Best Investment of this decade

Silver rose from less than $ 1.50 per ounce in 1970 to nearly $ 50 in 1980, increased by about 2400%
Over 90% of all silver mined the past 5000 years is used up in manufacturing, and world silver inventory is now the lowest for 200 years. Meanwhile, demand for silver greater than ever.

Every year we need 100-200 million ounces more than recovered and recycled together. Essentially, the film / photo industry, electronics industry, jewelers, silver coins and Silver bullion / bars which accounts for the largest consumption of silver. This industry requires an average of 900 million ounces annually, while the supply is 750 million. Thus the world use more silver than it produced, a development that is taking place for the twentieth consecutive year. 70-80% of the silver being transferred to the market recovered today as a byproduct of copper, zinc, lead and gold mine operating earnings because of pure silver mines is minimal. This gives a clear signal that something must be done. Either the demand down, or you must supply up. The first is unthinkable, silver has become a consumable. If the supply up, obviously recovered more. And if it produced more, then silver price up to and at all clean extraction of silver attractive to mining companies.

Famous investor and billionaire Warren Buffett bought in 1997 the entire 130 million ounces of silver, the maximum number of ounces he was allowed to buy. A giant investment that attracted enormous attention. Perhaps not so surprising when you consider that the world's silver reserves reported today is about 170 million ounces. There are several familiar names who have shown their interest in silver. George Soros owns a large share of Apex Silver (SIL). Bill Gates owns more than 10% of Pan American Silver Corp. (PaaS). Major players in the financial world who have chosen to hedge some of their portfolio in silver. In China, the government sold from the quantity of their silver store the last 4 years (2005), but has had to make cutbacks after realizing that the country's rapidly growing economy will need more silver than they can produce themselves. The authorities are now stockpiling gold and silver, and has publicly gone out and asked residents to do the same: invest in real real values.

Data from the U.S. Mint confirms an increasing demand for silver. The sales of Silver Eagles doubled from an average of 4.5 million ounces of 90-years, to over 9 million oz. in 1999. Increase the time was not only a temporarily flickers, average sales for the past 9 years prior to 2008 have added about 9.5 million oz., Against the 19,583,500 oz. units sold last year.

The problem with cash is the value of the currency it has accumulated in. If you look back in time, "paper money" always ended up being worthless, and the current situation is no exception. Most of the world economy is built on numbers in the form of notes, stocks, derivatives and other so-called securities. We have a debt based monetary system that is based almost exclusively on ordinary people's borrowing needs, so-called "fractional banking." Banks' manipulation of the modern economy is an extensive chapter to themselves. .

Official figures from the U.S. for January 2009 shows that silver is underpriced for gold with a 1:77 ratio in relation to 1:15 has been the norm historically. As a long-term, defensive investing is silver, making a huge potential, and a quadrupling of today's silver price within a short time is not unthinkable.


World silver mine Production has increased shock through the past few years from about 600 million ounces in 2001 up to 670.6 million ounces in 2008, according to World Bank Silver Survey 2009

Silver is quite diverse. It is the industrial applications . On enabling out of this, if an area of ​​the market falls a candidate can theoretically prop up the price of silver.

Some Silver Application:

* Industry: batteries, soldering, electronics
* Precious Metals: Money, Jewelry,
* New Emerging Markets: solar, water pollution, Medicinal applications

I heard that the USA will be out of money in around March 4, 2011. Bernanke the money printer as Marc Faber calls him . I thought he was just printing and imputing the crap into the Federal Reserves Beast Computer devaluing the currency. Maybe they will say phoque it and run it off the cliff.Goodbye Pension Plans. Silver at $50 or even at $500 is not beyond the realms of possibilities, there have been plenty of smart and savy commentators whom have suggested that certainly $400 is going to be a given! I've read others who paint a convincing forecast towards $15,000 Gold and $1,500 silver! Hold on to your positions, the mainstream public have yet to realise what is happening, when it does, that's the time to get ready to sell. When the DOW and FTSE are at parity with Gold ratio! Gold isnt in a bubble. The Fed is a bubble and its about to burst. End the Fed. However I hope the manipulation continues for a little longer because that will allow people to acquire more silver. Silver will outperform gold by a country mile. 2% of the population only invest in metals at present. We need to educate the general population because we will all have to help each other soon in the new normal world."I find it beyond remarkable that U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner can say with a straight face that the U.S. would not devalue the dollar for export advantage. He did exactly that in a speech to Silicon Valley business leaders just before an important meeting of the finance ministers of the G20 countries in Seoul, South Korea, in late October. I would suggest that this represents another classic example of making sure you pay attention to what people do rather than what they say. Geithner's obvious mendacity probably also contributed mightily to the essential failure of the Seoul conclave to arrive at any substantive answers on the subject of the intensifying currency wars." John Embry wrote few months ago in an oped article in the Investor's Digest of Canada

ALERT : Fake Mexican Silver Coins

There are a lot of fake Mexican silver coins, all denominations and old dates as well, first thing is see if a magnet will stick to it, most I have seen that have the weight and feel are magnetic, A lot of Mexican silver coinage is either .903, .8 ,or .72 fine silver, there were very few denominations made from 10%, the 1957 - 1967 peso comes to mind.Most mexican silver dollars are only 10% silver.There are some very nice Mexican coins worth collecting and there are some that are basically worth scrapping...

Watch out for fake Silver coins Made in China

Watch out for fake Silver coins Made in China , there some fake Chinese pandas coins circulating , so get yourself a digital scale and weight them , the Chinese are very good in making all king of fakes including gold and silver to be very careful .Weighting could not be enough though , I am sure that there will be new fake silver with the correct weight coming soon (by mixing metals, etc). As soon as we figure out their game, they change it ,while weight is a quick and easy test. It is not a final test on whether or not it is real, There are other tests that can be done. I will have to get out the college chem textbook to review. There is a calculation based on the mass of the object and its volume displacement in water for .999 fine, this will yield a theoretical calculated weight based on the molecular weight of the metal in question.

The demand for gold in Asia reached a record high in first quarter 2011

Asians immense passion for gold continues to grow , China's Gold Imports Soaring almost a fivefold : Under the impetus of a persistent inflation in China and concern for maintaining its currency, the demand for gold in the Asian continent continues to be increasing and reached a record high in first quarter 2011.In this context, the 'new rich' and households with higher incomes in both China and India are turning increasingly to the precious metal as a way to diversify their investments.Just in the month of January, the Commercial Bank of China, a major financial institution in the country, has sold a total of 7 tons of gold bullion, which equates to around half of all sales transactions recorded by the bank over the year 2010. One reason for this growing demand for gold in China is still higher prices, which rose 4.9% in January compared to the same month last year. While analysts expected a higher figure, close to 5.3%, concern about inflationary pressures on the huge Asian continent could lead the Central Bank to review interest rates on the rise.Bank of China has been actively promoting gold and silver products for years. Silver & Gold Pandas can be purchased once again by special order but to my knowledge can no longer be purchased on-site at the bank. Prices for Silver Pandas have increased from about 160RMB a year ago to now about 240 - 270 RMB per coin. The price varies by dealer. One thing is for certain, demand is sure there. Prices will only increase. We are just getting started in the greatest bull run for precious metals in history! and Asia is the biggest player in this bull market

Tips on Investing in Gold

Tips on How to invest in gold and silver wisely :

Investors who see gold and silver as the main protection against inflation, can use several ways of investing money into precious metals, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages:

• Direct purchase of gold and silver in the form of ingots, coins, etc.;
• purchase of shares of gold mining companies;
• Investing in mutual funds specializing in investments in shares of companies that produce silver or gold.

During periods of hyperinflation, direct investment in bullion and coins are likely to be more profitable than acquiring shares in mining companies. In extreme circumstances, which include hyperinflation, shares of mining companies may be taxed by special state taxes such as additional income taxes that were applied to oil companies in the 70's. And, of course, the government may again prohibit the acquisition of the ownership of gold and silver, which would put investors in a quandary. How often and correctly note, rare coins, attracting the attention of investors during periods of market recovery of gold and silver provide a good yield, comparable with the yield muyu long-term investment. However, rare coins should not be considered in the same context as the full-weight coins, such as American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs and Krugerrands, prices are tied to the value contained in them the precious metal. Collecting rare coins, in fact, not much different from collecting stamps, ceramics, art objects or beer cans. Accurate assessment, competence and reputation of the seller, the study and comparison of different proposals - key conditions for success in this market.

With inflation hovering between the middle and high income, the best option of investment is likely to represent the shares of mining companies and funds that specialize in securities of these companies. Buying these stocks do not related to the high commission and the cost of maintenance and storage inherent in investing in precious metals. During such periods, the shares can be very high dividends.

Typically, shares of mining companies YUAP sold through ADRs or mutual funds, and for them is characterized by a lower ratio of D / P and higher dividends than in shares of gold mining companies in the U.S. and Canada. However, despite the attractiveness of companies YUAP, many investors never buy them because of personal dislike of apartheid, or high political risk.

Investors should not forget about the possibility of civil unrest, strikes and other problems in South Africa. As already mentioned, in this country account for a large portion of the total world production of gold. Gold mining industry, which employs 450 thousand workers (mostly blacks), has a large share of the economy and exports of the country. Any sudden interruption in the supply of gold from South Africa could lead to a sharp increase its world market prices and lower stock prices of South African gold mining companies, at least for a while.

Investors seeking to diversify their equity portfolio of South African gold mining companies, can use the services of private investment company ASA Ltd., Whose shares are traded on the NYSE. Statement by the African National Congress of the termination of their guerrilla war in South Africa, made in August of 1990, considerably strengthened the confidence of investors in this country. ASA pays annual cash dividend over the past 30 years.

Silver has better dynamics than gold from an investment perspective

In This video silver investor David Morgan interviews Jim Pavlakos of Golden State Mint. Silver has better dynamics than gold from an investment perspective



David Morgan said in a recent interview :... There are more factors at work. At least two to three decades ago, there was an article that came out with the headline, "Silver is Gold's Poodle." I laugh, because that is really a metaphor for silver. If I ever wanted to increase my newsletter subscription, I should probably change my title to www.gold-investor.com. Silver has better dynamics than gold from an investment perspective, but fewer people are willing to invest in it. It's a smaller market and therefore more volatile. But the dynamics of silver are better, because it has every attribute of classical money that gold holds—that safe haven status—and it's better recognized as money on a global basis, not just a North American basis. On top of that, it has industrial demand, and most of those applications are price-inelastic, meaning demand will be there regardless of silver's price. So, long term, silver really does have a better investment profile than gold does.I'd say that more people are waking up to that fact, and I'll say it from empirical evidence as well.

Robert Kiyosaki : our school system teaches virtually nothing about money

Robert Kiyosaki: ..... it is a value system, and it's something we learn as kids. So that's what "Rich Dad, Poor Dad for Teens" is about because our school system teaches virtually nothing about money. Why, I don't know. I studied calculus for two years at school, and I never use calculus. But whether we're rich or poor or stupid, we're all going to use money. But our school system seems to treat money the way my poor dad treated money--was that money was an instrument of evil, it corrupted you and made you greedy, so they just didn't talk about money.

How to take advantage of rising gold prices

The troubles in North Africa and the Middle East that drove up oil prices, prompting investors to seek refuge again in gold. However, gold stocks did not follow the pace. Wrongly or rightly?
After undergoing a correction earlier this year the gold price has again topped $ 1,400. Any investor arises the same question: "How to benefit?". The most common alternatives are buying physical gold (bullion or coins) and trackers (index funds) on gold. In contrast, gold mines shares are less known. And yet: the rising price of gold should be a good deal for the mining companies too.

The Problem of The Volatility :

The volatility is characteristic of gold stocks. This volatility is a major cause: the price of gold. Suppose the price of gold rises from 1300 to 1430 dollars (+10%). For a mining company whose cost of production amounts to 1,000 dollars, the same increase should generate earnings growth of 43%. In theory, because profit margins are not only the price of gold. That said, this leverage also echoed in the share prices of "gold diggers". Since 2001, the date of the beginning of the upward trend of the gold metal price has quintupled. Gold Bugs Index The index is almost three times better over the same period and is 14 times higher today. Investors, however, have endured the effects of the crash in 2008 (-30%).

Risks of Investing in Gols :

The major mining groups are Barrick Gold, Newmont and Goldcorp Goldminings, "senior", or values ​​established in the sector, which produce gold in abundant quantities. And then there are the "junior", the smaller mines or the real gold diggers: companies looking for operating sites, which are developing promising projects but only a handful actually succeed in extracting gold from the earth.

The potential gains are enormous in this third category of activity, measurement of risk. Find a junior position to keep its promises, however, the challenge is to evaluate the potential of these businesses, we need to seek a network of experts of all kinds, including geologists. The area is complex and evolves with divergent factors. For the individual investor, analysis essential information is difficult toget and is burdensome.

Diversification good or bad :

For investors seeking broad diversification, ETFs on an index of mining companies can provide an initial response. The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) consists for example of the largest gold mines in the world. There are also a junior version (GDXJ). Helped by rising gold (+28%), these two ETFs have gained last year's 33 and 55% respectively

What Gold investment is best for you?

What investment in gold is best for you?
Gold creates a real passion now. To take advantage of the gold rally several options are available . But beware: any form of investment does not suit everyone.
Since the bursting of the financial crisis, demand for gold as an investment is rising again. This growing popularity is also reflected in the figures compiled by the World Gold Council, an advocacy organization in the gold sector. In 2008, total world demand for gold as an investment (bullion, coins and ETFs) has reached $ 24 billion, an increase of 10 billion from the previous year. The trend continues since then . In late September, demand for gold as an investment accounted for 43 billion dollars. And the counter never stops turning. There are no accurate statistics for any country let alone for the whole world , but a survey of the major banks tells us that investors worldwide are rediscovering gold as an investment and a safe heaven. Rising demand pushes gold prices to their highs. All time records have been reached and it never stops some analysts say Gold could go as far as $2000 $5000 or even $15000 and $50000 . This week the gold price has reached 1,440 dollars. Compared to the potential of gold prices, opinions diverge. Some analysts believe that the ceiling has already been reached, others see the metal move towards $ 2,000 or more this year. But these projections are interesting as more speculators enter the market. But the average Investor should only care on how to protect his assests from an ever falling dollar . Investment in gold can be accomplished in different ways and each one provides a different investment profile.

* Gold Mining Shares : The shares of gold mines are for the aggressive investor anticipation of an upturn after the crisis. "Leverage is important in the gold market. "When the gold was up 100%, the gold mines are assessed by 300%! However, investors should keep an eye on costs and worry about the political stability of the region where the mine is located, .
* ETFs : ETFs are index funds that reflect the changing price of gold. With each purchase, equivalent in physical gold is bought and placed in a vault in the bank. "Rumors say that gold is physically but not always covered by futures, options and insurance. If several operators had the bad idea of ​​committing malpractice in deliveries, these products would collapse, . According to experts, ETFs are good for investors who wish to speculate on short-term price movements of gold.
* Bullion : Buy bullion and gold coins and keep them in a trunk: now even the simplest way to invest in gold. These ingots and coins can be bought and sold in several banks or traditional banks specific gold. The physical gold suits investors seeking defensive protection of their investment portfolio.

Silver good alternative to investing in Gold

Silver could be a good alternative to investing in gold, given the obviously different specificities of the two metals.

At the same footprint, the silver can store much less "value" of gold, and for a lower specific gravity (10.5 vs kg/dm3 19-odd) and for a much lower price (we are at about $ 35 / oz vs 1400 and change for the gold). Depending on the capital to invest, it can be an advantage or a disadvantage, of course.

In contrast industrial use has probably more extensive than for gold (it is used as a catalyst for many chemical reactions, is the best conductor of electricity and heat available to seed clouds and induce rain). also used as a germicide.

Since 1981 the trend of silver is substantially in line with that of gold, and will continue to go higher and higher according to most analysts , Eric Sprott often says the last decade was the decade of Gold this decade is the decade of Silver , Robert Kiyosaki calls silver a smoking deal , the best investment opportunity of all time ...it is never late to start stacking up silver bullion in 5 or 10 years you will be glad you did ....

Silver is more rare than Gold!

Silver, above ground, is more rare than gold! There is seven times as much gold above ground as compared to silver! silver is more rare than gold! Few realize or know this , in fact In refined form above ground, such as in bars & coins , so how much Silver and how much Gold is there ? : It is said that 95% of all gold mined in the history of the Humanity continues to be held by people either as investment or jewelery. How much is this? According to the World Gold Counsel, the world has mined 145,000 metric tonnes by the end of 2001. If we add the 2500 tonnes per year through the end of 2010, it's 167,500 metric tonnes, or an average of 5.90 billion ounces. If 95% if that gold is still with us, that's 5.60 billion ounces of gold in the world. (That includes gold jewelry.) Another way to say it is that mankind holds about 50 years' worth of mine supply of gold.Now, how much silver is there? According to the two industry silver surveys by the silverinstitute and the cpmgroup, the mankind has about 250 million ounces to up to 650 million ounces of silver. (Those numbers do not include silver jewelry.) If we use the larger number, there is about seven times as much gold in the world as silver! (Another way to say it is that mankind holds less than one year's mine supply of silver.)
But how about the Silver Jewelery ? there is a good reason not to include silver jewelry. we already know that silver is not as valuable as gold. When silver is made into jewelry, there is valuable skilled labor involved, which adds to the price and value of the object. A very cheap silver ring will cost about $10, and will contain about 1/5 of an ounce of silver, or less. This means the cost of that metal, in that form, is about $50/oz.! This means that silver, in the form of jewelry, cannot be sold for a profit for the sake of the value of the scrap metal alone, until silver rises about tenfold in price, up to, and exceeding, $50/oz.What is really strange is that the world has seven times as much refined gold as silver, yet silver is still very cheap compared to gold .the world mines about 2,600 metric tonnes of gold per year (according to gold.org), (83.6 million ounces) and mines about 586 million ounces of silver ( according to silverinstitute.org)Thus, the world mines about seven times more silver each year than gold. An impartial observer might view those numbers, and conclude that a minimum price for silver should be 1/7th of the gold price, not 1/60th of the gold price. Then, taking into account current refined supplies, that there is seven times as much gold in the world as silver, silver should be worth much more than that.Today, since silver is so much cheaper than gold, it is much less economical to mine and sell silver.But how much gold and silver is there in the ground? In the ground, gold is more rare than silver. The historic ratio is about 15:1, meaning 15 ounces of silver were worth about one ounce of gold, and this ratio was very close to the ratio at which the two were mined. About ten to fifteen times as much silver was mined as gold. Today, less silver is mined.My Conclusion is that the monetary demand for silver cannot go down from this point, it can only go up.

Geopolitical factors and The Weak Dollar have contributed To heat up the Gold and Silver prices

Unrest in the middle east and north Africa , Geopolitical events, oil prices skyrocketing, the Greek crisis, the weak dollar, all these factors are pushing up the prices of gold and silver which are hitting all time records , The Fear of inflationary growth fueled demand for safe-haven investment , analysts and manufacturers expect further price rises, especially if the crisis gets worse in Libya and expand to other countries • Gold and silver continue their rally in the wake of tensions and violence in the Middle East and North Africa. At the second London fixing the yellow metal has updated the highs climbing to $ 1437.5 per ounce, in New York during the sitting Gold futures hit a peak of $ 1,445, then downsized slightly. Also in London, silver jumped more than 6% up to 36.6 U.S. dollars an ounce, a level never seen in the last years. a number of factors have contributed To heat up the gold prices, , particularly the geopolitical situation. In recent weeks the gold (and silver) is in fact confirmed as a safe haven by excellence in the light of fears of inflationary growth, fueled by continued increases in oil prices - the prices recently reached their maximum of two and a half years driven by fears of an escalation of clashes in Libya and a possible domino effect in countries such as Bahrain or Saudi Arabia - and the difficult economic situation in some European countries, first of all Greece, whose ratings were downgraded yesterday by Moody's. Add to this also the weakness of the dollar, which yesterday again lost ground against the euro due to expectations of a more aggressive monetary POLICIES by the European Central Bank than the U.S. Fed. But that's not all. The demand for gold, not only for investment remains strong, especially in Asia and the prices are at record (in the respective currencies) in India and Japan. And the predictions are for further rises. Recently JP Morgan analysts during a conference in Toronto, estimated for this year to an average price of $ 1,465 an ounce. Similar expectations also of Anglo-Gold Ashanti - the world third largest gold miner - which provides for much higher prices this year of the current. HSBC Global Asset Management to throw water on the fire instead. The prices - they say - are already very high and for the future, especially to protect against any acceleration in inflation, it might be better to focus on other things, such as shares or other commodities (maybe oil) with highest growth potential. this also apply to silver, whose prices are rising much faster than gold, a race report confirmed by the gold / silver ratio which yesterday dropped below fourth for the first time since February 1998. With gold prices moving upward, the silver is well positioned to do more some analyst believe. The growing demand for investment (for silver and other precious metals). I think the fundamentals of the sector give grounds for further price rises, although we may see a setback in the short term.

Robert Kiyosaki: Yeah, that's correct. It goes back to family financial values. My poor dad really valued a job, and my rich dad valued owning your own company.

James Turk : $1800/oz Gold in 2011

JAMES TURK: We are going to hit the $1,800 - it’s just a question of time. It will probably happen in the first quarter. This is normally a seasonal strong time of the year and there are a lot of fundamental factors that are driving gold higher so we won’t hit $1,800 before year end but we could hit $1,500 though even though we have a few weeks left, it’s still a reasonable target but we should be looking for $1,800 in the first quarter of 2011.
