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

The managing director of metals products at CME Defends CME's Adjustment of Silver Margin Rules

The allegations that the CME was trying to drive the silver price down is off the mark says Harriet Hunnable, the managing director of metals products at CME Group Inc., talks about the exchange's rules for silver trading. Last week, silver plunged 27 percent, the most since at least 1975, after CME raised margin costs. Silver bugs should look at this as a discount offered to you by the government , you can buy more silver at a discount , silver is money it is not an investment for making a quick buck , hold your silver assets you are sure that they will never lose value over time on the contrary the longer the better ....

Eric Sprott : There is only 700 million ounces mined in a year

Eric Sprott : One of the things we should look at is the trading of silver in the paper markets, I mean the Comex and the SLV. Last week it averaged 1.2 billion ounces per day. There is only 700 million ounces mined in a year. There is only 33 million ounces of physical silver that is available for delivery by the commercial shorters. If something like 3% of the people that were trading silver in one day demanded physical delivery, there would be no silver on the Comex.... The key market is the physical market. I don't think this raid is going to work." .

The manipulation continues in the silver paper market

Keith Neumeyer, First Majestic Silver president & CEO, sheds insight on why his company's stock is down. : ...."...well, I think there was some short covering going on in the latter part of march and into early April really propelled silver up to close to $50. really silver is going through a rerating right now. and one of the important things to me is a silver producing mining company is that as we rely more on technology, we become more reliant on silver."

How JP MORGAN & HSBC manipulate the SILVER Markets

Even if it is all manipulated, silver is still a better choice to own than paper money. If enough people moved within the silver market and took delivery of their metal, then this artificial economy would end sooner than later. The so called 'Regulators' are no better than the Financial Banksters. A pox on all their mansions.Wall Street is a fraud. The dollar is fiat and done. Goldman Sach are thieves, scum and frauds Govt economic data: a fraud. Comex and The Federal Reserve: frauds Bernanke, Geitner, Paulson, Roubini: frauds Spin masters: Fox, Cnbc, Jim Cramer: frauds Don't get screwed folks stay away from this scum. Stick to owning physical gold and silver bullion and let the music stop.


The metals were liquidated as were stocks of all sectors in Sept-Oct 2008. As there was a panic and all sectors, good and bad were sold. There is a manipulation in the short term but no firm or firms as big as the market. This has been tried before several times (documented) througout the centuries and failed. The bullions will have its top at a mania like previous equities and real estate sectors did. We are in a period of stagflation until 2017-18, that means extremes on both spectrums.

Silver is dirt cheap right now

James Anderson Managing Director at Goldsilver.com : whoever has physical silver in his hands will make the rules , silver below $50 an ounce is at sale , the 1980 high is a nominal high cause the dollars in 1980 are worth a lot more than the dollars in 2011 the money supply exploded since then , the true inflation adjusted all time high is $140 but if you use the more accurate statistics from John Williams it is close to $300 an ounce , having ounces is what matters the question is how many ounces you have in your possession , Silver is on Sale right now keep stacking anybody who have been stacking ounces will be setting pretty . What's happening in America today is similar to what happened in the 80s in Argentina but in slow motion

Bob Chapman : buy the dips don't panic, ride the bull

Bob Chapman: The Financial Powers That Be Are In A Trap of Their Own Making

If Silver goes to 5 an oz that just means I could buy a ton of it. Hahaha Who ever holds paper and has faith in the the paper game WILL LOSE! This may be the greatest exchange of wealth in the history of the world. The people are waking up are going to plunder the bankers by buying silver and gold. Get rid of the Dollar Bill if you know what you're doing...Pretty soon they'll be using it for Toilet Paper...Bye Bye FIAT CURRENCY CRAP.......only a wise people will understand. The dollar is printed out of thin air. You cant print money out of thin air. Gold and silver is honest you cant counterfiet it. George Washington, "Paper money has had the effect in your state it will always have to ruin commerce oppress the poor and honest and open the door for every specie of fraud and injustice."..When we reach the end of this destruction of fiat currencies and the ensuing precious metals bubble, those of us holding physical will probably trade it for real things like necessities of life, homes, and even luxury items. Alternatively, we may trade it for the new gold-backed currency that appears in our locale.
silver investing By Bob Chapman : May 11th, 2011.In legislation just proposed, and I don't know by whom, nor do I have a number yet, the Dept of Labor has proposed a re-definition of who is a fiduciary, not under the Securities laws, but under ERISA, the law that governs tax advantaged retirement accounts, such as 401K and IRAs and it probably will include all retirement assets, we don't have a definite direction yet of what they intend to do but it is my guess they want to limit those investments only to US government debt. They may include some blue chips or funds, I don't know. They may allow other high-graded fixed income products. These DOL-ERISA rules override all SEC rules. We don't know the final form of the legislation, nor do we know whether it will be passed, but my guess it will be. The government desperately needs to get those retirement funds invested in government debt. I would seriously think about terminating 401ks and IRAs by transferring the assets -- without commission -- into a personal account it then becomes a taxable event. I also believe there is a good chance that taxes will be higher next year. There is also an outside chance that retirement assets could be frozen -- such events would be negative on the general market because government would be directing brokerage houses to sell retirement assets. This is all in the planning stage, but it is very real.

Eric Sprott : if only three percent in one day demanded physical delivery there will be no silver on the COMEX

Eric Sprott : ..Silver is the best recommendation anyone can make this decade...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 in from the demand side where 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 don't hedge and the shifts in ownership had been dramatic in a market where we really see no rise in supply , in the case of silver what really turned me on about twelve months ago was as we witness people buying silver you realize there would not be enough silver to buy and as example the US mint today sells as many dollars of silver as dollars of gold , when you realize that silver trades at forty to one ratio means that they are buying at forty times of 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 price is forty to one but the dollars going in to it are almost dead equal , so I can't see the price ratio staying in this range ...
we have been a net buyer of silver everyday , I will be a buyer of silver today I will be a buyer of silver tomorrow so we have not lost any faith in what's happen to silver ...what happened last week in mind is just another of those raids that we experience from time to time ...there was no particular reason for it , then we end up with five margin request increases , somebody is manipulating the price of silver and that's totally my attitude 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 16 to one ratio in terms of price to gold to make it simple if we measure gold at $1600 that would suggest that silver may go to $100 , I think it might even over shoot on the downside may be trade as much as ten to one , and the reason I think that is that I believe that Gold today is the De Facto reserve currency it has out performed everything for eleven years , Silver has always been a currency people are now treating it as a currency much as you are recommending to people , i is a very very small market there is no way that with roughly fifty billion dollars of silver inventory around that we can make it a currency at these price levels so I see the price going much higher ....
I think last week decline was premeditated it happened in the early hours of Sunday/Monday morning when markets were not re-operating England was closed China was closed it was a great opportunity just to mark it down ...so I think it was very much orchestrated , one thing that I think we should all look at is the trading of silver in the paper market which I mean the COMEX and the SLV last week it probably averaged 1.2 billion ounces per day , there is only 700 million ounces mined in a year there is only 33 million ounces of physical silver at the COMEX available for delivery by the commercial shorters . I mean if only something like 3 percent of the people that were trading silver 3 percent in one day demanded physical delivery there will no silver in the COMEX , so I look at those paper markets and I just believe it's paper it's guys pushing buttons who have really no invested interest in silver other than trying to move the price one way or guess which way the price is going ...so...

John Embry & James Turk on the Physical Silver Shortage

John Embry Chief Investment Strategist at Sprott Asset Management discusses the recent correction in the silver price with James Turk, Director of the GoldMoney Foundation: ....I think the rise to the recent $50 peak believe it or not was justified and it is funny when you read the main stream press everybody is talking about bubbles and how big the crash is going to be , they would not seem to understand the fundamentals I think the fundamentals of silver are impeccable , the fact that we are going through a tough crash is not surprising it's a paper driven COMEX sponsored correction and it's to be expected , I mean if you have been involved in silver market as long as we have at Sprott we're used to these things they are not fun but it is another buying opportunity ... The paper market probably drives the prices most of the time when the physical takes over is when the physical shortage takes place and what's going on right now is very clearly there is a massive short position in...

Robert Kiyosaki : Gold and Silver are pretty safe bets

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...

Gold, Silver Futures Slump in New York as Dollar Strengthens Against Euro

Another bad day today for the precious metals , The price of silver losing a further 8%, gold sinking back to the $ 1,500 level. The prices of silver and gold have recorded significant losses today. The CME Group the company that manages the NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange), has announced two further increases of the initial deposit required to secure transactions on the futures on silver. The news sparked a new shower of precious metals sales. The expiring July futures on silver at the NYMEX closed in fall of 8% to $ 36.24 an ounce. It was the strongest drop in session since December 2008. Since last Friday the price of silver has lost 25.4%. The gold futures expiring in June ended in a fall of 2.2% to $ 1,481.40 an ounce. It's been three weeks that the gold price did not close at these levels. To add to downward pressure on the precious metal was now also the strong recovery of the dollar. The greenback has appreciated against the euro by about 2%. The jump in the dollar weighed on all commodities in general.

Dollar going up? Silver & Gold going DOWN? The Market manipulation continues

The bigger this sham gets the harder its going to fall and the higher Silver and Gold prices will go .Silver and gold are the only monetary units worth considering. That is why Silver and Gold are a manipulated market - to give the appearance of confidence in fiat currencies, not precious metals.Stick with the silver.With paper the banks have an advantage of being flexible with time and inflation contraction. Metals are not a scheme they are honest measures and you have to keep that in mind that honesty doesn't win all battles just the wars. Doubt the USD will stay intact. It's having a bounce. What's that mean? China buys more silver.  They are big enough to move the market. They also want it cheap too so they want the USD strong and silver cheap for now. Sometime soon enough the USD will sink hard, maybe with more world turmoil and silver will more than make up for lost time. Their whole game is deception,,making make the wrong move. The USD could go all the way to 77, but the Euro likely would be dropping at the same time. So Europeans will be getting into metals then and pushing the price up along with China. I think the Euro may be junk pretty soon now. There are many forces involved, but there is too much infighting in the E.U.

Gold/Silver Rising on Central Bank Buying -11/05/11

SILVER. The sharp rise in the price of silver during 2010 is due to the result of a large increase in demand from both the industrial sector investment, as reported on the global report on silver and issued in these days.World demand, investment in the sector, grew by 40% last year, reaching 279.3 million ounces for a total of 5.6 billion dollars.The total demand in the industrial sector grew by 12.8% reaching the highest of the last 10 years to 878.8 million ounces in 2010.Silver has scored an average price of $ 20.19 per ounce in 2010, a level surpassed only in 1980 and well above the average of $ 14.67 in 2009. its strength is still continuing in the first months of 2011 with an average price of London gold fixing at $ 31.86 at the end of the first quarter.

Jason Schenker, president of Prestige Economics, talks about the outlook for gold and silver prices. Schenker also discusses industrial metals. He speaks with Matt Miller and Carol Massar on Bloomberg Television's "Street Smart."

Physical silver market vs paper silver market

physical silver market and paper silver market are now two different markets. As is gold. No more tie. Never will again. Physical silver will continue to climb as scarcity becomes acute. Then what! Free for all. China sopping up all available physical silver. No limit to how much paper silver you can print. What can you do with it?  Make paper airplanes I guess.


All roads seem to lead to Soros....the move in Silver and timing was done masterfully...silver will still return 18%-20% annually on average over the next 5 years at the minimum despite volatility and cartel attacks...sure beats the banks.
JPM JP Morgan Chase , HSBC are naked short on a 45 to one (nine to one is normal) Silver they are naked they can't deliver so they have decided they are gonna drive the price down as far as they could , and what they did , and here remember that Morgan is the biggest share holder in the Federal Reserve Bank , and HSBC Goldman Sachs Citi Group they're all involved , and they're the owners of the FED , they told the CME which owns the COMEX to raise margin requirements never in history have they raised them five times in nine days , now if that's not rigging the market I do not know what it is ...and I have been for 29 years in the brokerage business on top of that what they did is they called all the major commodity brokers and told them they wanted them to recommend that commodities be sold especially gold and silver , and to double the internal margin in their firms ....that wiped out every small investors in commodities and gold and silver and many of the middle sized ones and this is what they did one of the biggest market manipulations of all times , billions of dollars were lost ...The moral of the story is: if you own physical there is nothing they can do to you...the Federal Reserve as "Federal" as Federal Express can try all day to manipulate the price but Ben Bernanke is not going to be able to touch your personal stash. Now when you start playing the casino of silver paper contracts then you open yourself up to the whims of the banksters. I will never sell my physical stash.

Is This 1980 all over again for Silver ?

Some people may think : this is just like 1980 all over again and that silver price will now collapse just as it did in 1980. In 1980 silver prices rose to a height of $48.70/oz from their normal price of $5/oz.Silver prices increased ten times their previous levels.There was a was high fuel costs and terrible inflation. People wanted to change their paper money into hard assets like silver. This started driving prices up and up. At the same time the Hunt brothers, oil tycoons from Texas, bought two hundred million ounces of silver options and futures. This caused terrible shortages and drove prices sky high.The brothers were estimated to hold one third of the entire world supply of silver.But on January 7, 1980, came the response of The COMEX the exchange rules regarding leverage were changed , The COMEX adopted "Silver Rule 7" placing heavy restrictions on the purchase of commodities on margin . As a consequence The price of Silver dropped 50% in just four days , The Hunt brothers who had borrowed heavily to finance their purchases, lost one Billion dollars (but their fortune survived) , Does not this look so similar to what happened last week with the CME  raising the margin requirements 5 times in nine days ? ,  the truth is that the amount of money the FED have printed up since 1980 is ten times higher, so if we adjust for inflation, the peak price from 1980 should be more like $500/oz. in today's dollars and not just $49 . What this tells us is that silver is still very very undervalued and as Mike Maloney told Max Keiser in an interview this morning "silver has yet to exceed its 1980 High we came within 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 !?"

silver has yet to exceed its 1980 High , can you name one thing on this planet that is still selling at a discount to its 1980 price

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 within 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 Is Predicting A $6,000/oz. Silver In The Next Few Years

Due to decades of industrial consumption depleting world inventories, there is remarkably little silver remaining above ground . Most people still have no clue about the potential for the silver metal price.Robert Kiyosaki made the following future silver price prediction of $6,000 during an interview on FTM Daily in November. An estimated one billion ounces of silver bullion equivalent exists above ground today that is shockingly small amount of silver especially when you compared to the amount of money and credit in the world trillions and trillions dollars will be chasing silver bullion

Reasons to Be Bullish on Silver

Silver is a MUST for a modern Hightech economy

Golds great its REAL MONEY (just like Silver) because it cant be printed at will by Criminal Banksters

But Silver is also KEY to Technology

Silver is the ONLY THING KNOWN THAT CAN KILL VIRAL PATHOGENS (and it works BETTER than Anti-Biotics on Bacterial ones)...Stop into your local GNC HEALTHFOOD STORE and pick up a bottle of their "Silver Biotics" and check it out!

Once the world understands this Silver will be values HIGHER THAN GOLD
Silver would be easy to use for change and would be easier to dispose of when trading. It is not a matter of if the dollar will crash but when. When it does crash the blackmarket economy will flourish because goods will be scarce and expensive. Silver and gold will be recognized as a barter medium that is stable.
Until Silver trades at some LOGICAL LEVEL to Gold it has a TON Of Catch to do.

I mean just look at the data from the world mines.The simple FACT is that we only pull 10 ounces of Silver out of the ground for every ounce of Gold.

So....at the least..Silver should trade at 1/10th the price of Gold. (that would be around $150 buck right now rather than $35)

Nevermind the FACT that we CONSUME FAR MORE SILVER Than we can mine every year and there is thus LESS SILVER ABOVE GROUND THAN GOLD
silver will always out perform gold in a bull metal market.
Silver is about to explode.

How about the fact there is 2 Billion Ounces of Gold worldwide compared to 1 Billion Ounces of Silver?

Even better than that is the Illegal 50% shorting of all Silver mined by JP Morgan and other banks that the CFTC Chairman will soon be ending.

This is 3 to 4 times more than the Hunts Brothers held long positions in the 70's that drove Silver to $80 an ounce.

The Silver Crash - caused by manipulation not The Market

Silver has declined significantly this week in response to equity requirement hikes in commodities margin accounts. This has triggered a massive margin call wave resulting in heavy liquidations. The tightening of trading credit will effectively quell inflation, even in the face of a rising debt limit and possible default on US bonds, and may revitalize the economy.They just raised the margin on silver...that tell me that they are afraid of silver. It tells me that silver is good, but physical. Asia do not buy the paper fraud they are accumulating physical, Westerners' do the same thing!!!!!! The CME was told by the Us Government to do what they did to break the back of the precious metals market , now you have to put up five times as much money as you did 9 days ago and that's not true for the short-side of the market , those shorting have to put two times ...what happened is unprecedented and illegal..

A recent interview with Lindsey Williams on Alex Jones has him mentioning that some rich folks did get wind of the silver leveraged position of the COMEX and started withdrawing silver by the millions of ounces, supporting the web bots analysis. At the silver prices and with backwardation of the spot price, it won't be long before the COMEX goes bust and the paper and physical silver prices diverge.

There is less than one quarter of an ounce silver per capita above ground

The COMEX is manipulating the silver Market ,The volatility in silver market was created by the combination of the bubble forming and the CME decision to increase the margins , The CME increased margins 5 times! this is forcing investors to sell , they raised margin requirements from $9000 to $21000 in five days ! there is no small investor that can handle that so they are all wiped out ,Guys like George Soros and Carlos Slim are dumping paper, not real. They never had any to begin with....Its all just blips on a screen and some day soon, we will hold the worlds real wealth....

High Frequency Trading in the Silver Market - Unsustainable! CNBC 5/5/2011

High Frequency Trading in the silver market .The paper games days are numbered too fast and it's just unsustainable for the markets to even control



Separating speculation from supply and demand, with Daniel Fisher, MBF Trading. . Daniel Fisher : this is so fast and so ridiculous, it's -- i can't even fathom these markets because when you watch silver move during the day, even if you're on the right side of the trade, the speed at which it's going on, it's unfathomable. i mean, the truth is these moves down, the corrections are all so overexaggerated by all the high frequency trading that ifru just slowed down we wouldn't see oil down 10 bucks today, wouldn't see brent trading down, you know, down below. Daniel, it's joe. when you talk about high frequently trading in the commodities space, people know about high frequency trading and stocks. how does it work in the futures mark? i mean, it's a similar deal. you have computers that are running each other in essentially. bidding and offering at the same time and they know when the large orders are coming so when you see a big sale in oil coming in, 100 lots, computers know they are coming and they essentially front run the order, and they front run each other and just run each other in. it's too fast and it's just unsustainable for the markets to even control.

Never trust banks with your physical metal.I knew this about the SLV (and GLD) but everyone should know this info!The GLD and SLV are insurance policies securing a lifeboat on the Titanic, but if she hits an iceberg then the insurance becomes payable in cash. Beautiful.To trust a banker is like trusting the devil. Don't cry when you get burned. Owning physical is the only way to go now. A year or two ago they changed the wording from "the trust holds silver" to "The trust is EXPECTED TO hold silver.  Why the change?! It's almost like, you go to the vaults, and lo and behold they have aluminum bars (not silver) and the custodian and the trustee both said, "Well, gee, we EXPECTED them to be silver. Oh well.

Don't Panic, Buy and Hold Physical Silver !!

The manipulation in the silver market right know this is crazy. The price dropped almost 4 dollars in under 7 hours I have been watching the price since I got home from work about 3. The price went from 44. 21 to 40.60 in under 7 hours, the made 4 heavy drops hitting the 40.60 mark. We had 44.21 down to 42.52 from there down to 41.38 another big drop to 40.76 bottoming out at 40.60. Now it bounced around a little in between but sank fast. After it hit 40.76 it struggled back up to 41.83 before it bottomed at the 40.60 mark an hour and a half later I HAVE TANGIBLE PYHSICAL SILVER. Just look outside the scenarios that have been laid out by the major news outlets and paper shoppers and see for yourself what is really going on with silver. Go on the major online dealers websites and which ones you go to I don't not care you will see the truth about silver it is extremely hard to obtain physical right now. The U.S. mint is not currently making silver eagles, the major dealers and local dealers all have delays on eagles and a lot of other bars and rounds have a wait or in a sense backorder on eagles and one oz.

Bob Chapman explains how the Silver Market is manipulated

Bob Chapman the FED is owned by private banks some of them are foreign , and the government is controlled by the banks that own the FED , they want you to leave the physical market and go to the traditional paper market and SLV , GLD ....



Bob Chapman : I happy that our government is knocking the price of silver down ...they ( the brokers ) are discouraging investments other than in SLV and GLD and of course in commodities and that's because it's leveraged and they make more commissions , and they don't care whether SLV and GLD go bankrupt or not . The government is controlled by the owners of the FED , they want to get people back to the traditional paper market ....last week silver margins were increased by the CME twice by twenty percent today they raised them again by another thirty percent , which is a psychological factor in this market because most of the people in the market are big hitters , they don't buy three of five contracts they buy three hundreds or five hundreds or three thousands or five thousands that's the kind of market this is ....the CME owns the COMEX and so they are the ones who make the rules and these rules come from the treasury department and of course these people in the exchanges very well know that ..it's easy to identify what they are doing if you've been in the brokerage business for 29 years like I was says Bob Chapman of the International Forecaster , the FED is owned by banks Europeans as well as Americans the biggest share holder is JP Morgan Chase followed by City Group and Goldman Sachs and a host of others and some of them are foreigners , the government is controlled by the owners of the FED they control the treasury

Peter Schiff : now it's a good time to buy Silver



Peter Schiff :...I would say that the moves over the last couple of weeks have been largely driven by speculators but overall the entire bull market NO , i mean it's driven by the fundamentals , Silver is not rising because there are speculators it's because silver is rising that's why there are speculators they are attracted to the bull market but they are not causing it , but certainly at a certain point speculators will add a volatility , we had a huge move up before this correction , it's hardly crashing I mean silver is at $40 dollars an ounce it's right back to its trend line , I think it's a good buy right now not only for long term holders like me , if you are a short term trader if you are fast money guy I do not think there is a lot left to this correction i think there is more upside now just to re catch the fifty level .....

Peter Schiff : now there is more upside potential than downside risk in the silver market ,  the vast majority of the correction is over


Peter Schiff : ...nothing goes up on a straight line silver had certainly gone ahead of itself the gold silver ratio was way in silver's favor in a very short period of time , so it makes sense that we have a pull back especially from a level like fifty ($50/oz) which was the record high going back to 1980 so it certainly makes sense that we got a pull back ..now the catalyst could have been Bin Laden but Peter Schiff doubts it that could be a coincidence a lot of time the markets look for any kind of catalyst to do what they want to do anyway and it's clear that a lot of speculators got into the market

Golden Opportunity to buy Physical Silver

The news of the killing of Osama Bin Laden has only temporarily slowed the price of gold. The yellow metal futures expiring in June ended today, rising 0.1% to $ 1,557.10 an ounce. The gold price has been supported by further weakening the dollar. The price of silver has held its exceptional rather abruptly to rise. The futures maturing in July has lost 5.2% to $ 46.08 an ounce. During the meeting, the silver price has come down by 13%, the biggest intraday drop since October 2008. The CME Group , the company that manages the NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange), has decided to increase for the second time in a week the initial deposit required to secure transactions on the futures on silver. The measure has forced many small speculators to close their positions.this pullback in silver price is a Golden Opportunity to buy Physical Silver

Silver the Osama Effect

Silver gained 500% in two years

NOT ALL that glitters is gold, but silver is another matter Silver always shines despite today's correction . Paraphrasing one of the most abused proverbs, that could be the summary of what happened today in the markets and, in particular, on the commodities market. since the Announcement by the U.S. authorities of the killing of Osama Bin Laden, all commodities prices have started to decline . But the psychological effect on players did not last long, because analysts have noted that the death of Osama - as in the top of the wanted list - is not enough by itself to declare the end of the Muslim-inspired terrorism. Much more important, at this moment, it would not end of the war  in Libya. Thus, gold and crude oil have already rebounded late in the morning, coinciding with the decline of European stock exchanges, which is then accentuated after the start of Wall Street.

But not all commodities have followed the path of gold and oil. That was thew case of silver. Traders have sold futures on precious metals with both hands and in the early stages of the session options causing the silver price to plunge by 12%, the largest decline in its history! . There was then a recovery in the rest of the day, but prices have remained in negative territory.

But how to interpret the trend of the price of silver? The negative reaction is
explained by the fact that silver is one of the more sought after by industry and arms traders, in the early hours after the announcement of the death of Osama,The markets thought that there may be a slowdown in demand for military equipment. In fact, demand is already falling for some time because of the crisis of sovereign debt (states must cut the budget and do so even in the defense sector).

The answer, then, is, as often happens, in a speculative movement. From the lows of 2008 to $ 8.453 per ounce of silver has doubled its value ($ 17,960 / oz) last August, and then accelerate up to $ 49.831 (new top for the last 31 years) just last Monday, with an appreciation almost 500% in two and a half years. The precious metal, which in recent years has suffered a deterioration in demand for industrial use (especially in the field of photography with the advent of digital technology), now seems destined to have a new life. The silver industrial demand may increase due to new uses in the field of photovoltaic solar panels.

In addition, it should be noted that silver is a safe haven by excellence, given its chronic shortage: the world demand exceeded the annual production since 1990.

Silver crashed because Osama Died?!?!?!?

Silver prices tumbled on Monday, making their biggest loss since late 2008 by news that al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed in a U.S.-led operation in Pakistan .Osama Bin Laden is dead, President Obama announced Sunday night, in a televised address to the nation.Seems those of us in the PM camp are a little unimpressed with the Osama news, in fact, most seem a little skeptical given the huge, suspicious drop in silver prices ,price is what it was 7 days ago so I look the dip as nothing but a useless attempt to manipulate silver when most markets were offline. The have done nothing but won themselves back 7 days of hikes.This is a great opportunity to buy more silver as the price is not going to stay this low for long time I believe ....

Eric Sprott : the real story now is silver

In an interview with the Canadian newspaper The Glob and Mail Eric Sprott Chairman, CEO & Portfolio Manager of Sprott Asset Management said that he believed that Silver is the real story now and it will out perform Gold :     "I think gold is the reserve currency today. There is not a currency in the world that it hasn't appreciated against by at least 300 per cent. And it has beaten every stock market. You can't even rent a safety deposit box in Germany because they are all full of gold and silver ... I am pretty convinced that gold will go a lot higher because it is under-owned as only 1 per cent of people's money is in it. It could go to $2,000 an ounce. I could imagine it at $5,000. I am not giving a time frame on that, but I could certainly see that happening. But the real story now is silver. Gold has traded at a ratio of 16-to-1 to silver in terms of price, but today it trades in the range of 50 to 1. I think the gold-to-silver ratio is going to go back to 16 to 1 given the passage of time, say three to five years. And I bet you that silver overshoots. The gold-to-silver ratio may even get down to 10 to 1. I believe that the price of silver has been suppressed."

James Turk : the silver physical market is very tight

James Turk on Goldseek Radio 26 Apr 2011

the silver physical market is very tight says James Turk of goldmoney.com : I am anticipating a waterfall decline of the dollar in not a very distant future , as we are getting close to June when the FED have to decide whether to stop the Quantitative easing or stop it , but the reality is I do not see how they can stop Quantitative easing says James Turk ,and they are afraid to get off , giving that the politicians in Washington continue to spend like there is no tomorrow that debt got to be financed somewhere and it is going to be financed by the printing press that's very very inflationary , ...the market ios tight it has been tight for quite some time and silver remains in backwardation where the spot month is higher than the futures contracts in December 2015 and that's about a 65 cent backwardation which is very very rare event but it's an indication of how tight the physical market is , what's happening here is that the paper market is becoming less important as a price discovery mechanism , and people are putting more emphasis on the physical market , so when you look at valuing the physical metal you hold do not look at the paper market look at the physical market what thee deals are actually doing and you'll see that actually the market is very very tight ...and you have backwardation concessions in silver these are likely to continue....

Jim Rogers : Silver going to over $100 an ounce

Jim Rogers : ...the thing that caught people's attention is that gold was going up so much that's the wrong way to invest , Look I own gold I own silver but where were these guys five years ago ten years ago that's when they should have ben doing all of this (buying huge amounts of silver) unfortunately for all of us most investors do not notice something until there is nice bull market in place such as with gold and silver , after ten years of price rises in gold people are starting to notice ...and yes there will be more people buying gold eventually everybody is going to own gold and then we will have to sell our gold but that's a long way from now ....
If silver continues a parabolic move I have to worry , all parabolic bubbles pops at the end , unless there is a currency crash , if silver goes up to $150 without a currency collapse I would worry says Jim Rogers


Jim Rogers started trading the stock market with $600 in 1968.In 1973 he formed the Quantum Fund with the legendry investor George Soros before retiring, a multi millionaire at the age of 37. Rogers and Soros helped steer the fund to a miraculous 4,200% return over the 10 year span of the fund while the S&P 500 returned just 47%.

Peter Schiff : if you look at the amount of silver in the earth versus gold and I think the ratio there is about 17 to one , I think silver is going to continue to gain on gold as this bull market continues to unfold , I think we have many many years left to go , I ultimately think that you will see a gold / silver ratio below 20 ,right now is more like about 35 , but when this bull market started I think the ratio was about 60 , now I have been buying silver for about ten years when I started buying it it was 5 dollars an ounce at the time gold was about 250 , 260 dollars an ounce both the precious metals have gone up , but silver has gone up more and if i am right and this bull market continues I expect silver to keep outperforming at my metals company I have been recommending people would have two third gold one third silver for long time obviously people that did that right now they might have fifty fifty because silver has gained on gold even though both metals have risen , and the reason that's happening is because Ben Bernanke is debasing the value of the dollar , r i fact central banks all around the world are too loose they are creating too much money and so people all around the world are buying gold and silver as a store of value and I think that that will continue ....

Eric Sprott

Eric Sprott : “ Silver is the investment of this decade”
“I’ve always thought that silver would move quickly to $50, and it would move to $50 this year – I thought it would get to $50 before year end,” “If you ask me in the three to five year time frame, obviously I think it’s going to go north of $100 simply because we’ll get that 16:1 ratio.” Gold,  is going a lot higher.
“Silver is the investment of this decade as gold was the investment of the last decade. So we’re sitting back waiting for things to evolve here,” - Eric Sprott

Mike Maloney

Mike Maloney : Silver is Cheaper Than Dirt (May 12, 2010 )
“The world is going to rush into gold, but just like at the end of ’79, once it gets too expensive for the common man, which I believe is somewhere between $2,500 and $5,000 an ounce this time, the public changes their preference and they start noticing that silver is still cheap, and they start buying silver. That’s when silver blows the doors off of gold on a percentage basis just like in ’79.”

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.

Silver is a GREAT BUY even at $50.

David Morgan on The Financial Sense Newshour 22 Apr 2011 :
Silver guru David Morgan explains what's may be driving the gold and silver market rally , the COMEX and the FED could conspire again in order to bring the silver price down ,Dave Morgan heavily promotes hold physical first and then to speculate in mining stock . Remember the hunt bros. 30 years ago they bought silver for $50 ,They will never see there money again. If silver rises too fast, their iron fisted rule will be over because gold will explode and the dollar will implode. So, they have absolutely every motivation and resource to artificially suppress the price of silver, yet it went up 70%+ last year. Confirmation of shortages, complete inversion (backwardation) of the futures market-Clearly, something is going on in the silver market.

Silver to outperform Gold in the coming years

The silver price is driven by inflation fears, the demands of industry and new forms of investment easier to negotiate.Pushing the silver price to exceeded $ 46 an ounce last week.The deflationary fears and the use of QE by the FED as a tool to stimulate exports devaluing the dollar, have pushed investors to diversify their assets, in activities to protect their wealth. The falling dollar has raised the price of silver to its maximum of the last 31 years.
While it is often called the gold of the poor, there are a number of factors that can raise the price of silver to outperform gold in the coming years. Unlike gold, silver is used in many industrial applications and in fact almost half of the silver mined goes for the industrial use. These applications include silver alloys used in batteries, electronic applications requiring a higher conductivity (such as televisions and microwave ovens) and as a catalyst for chemical reactions.
a lot of silver is still used in photography as well as jewelry and silverware. Silver also is becoming the metal used in solar panels because of its reflectivity of the light and its excellent conductivity.
With China at the forefront of solar technology, the demand for silver is growing while exports fell by 64%. China is the third largest producer of silver, with almost 13% of world production in 2009. China the third largest producer, preceded by Peru and Mexico have decided to reduce its silver export and it has instead become a net importer of silver . China's decision to reduce exports to meet growing domestic demand was one of the factors to push silver price higher
The report "World Silver Survey 2010, produced by the research company GFMS estimates that unless further developments in the cycle, supply / demand, the market will feature silver, worldwide, by an excess of supply, but this surplus of supply will be completely absorbed by the investment sector which remains the major driver to support the price of silver. The study of Gold-Silver ratio, the ratio between gold and silver price, suggests that silver in the future may make further progress and perform better. The relationship between gold and silver price is currently around 37, while in the past has averaged around 60.
The popularity of gold has brought the price of gold to rise to the highest of all time, investors begin to worry that the gold has become too expensive, so the price of silver began to be attractive as a Financial investment .

Silver going exponential : what these market commentators do not get is that SILVER is not just a commodity to speculate on , SILVER is money real money , it is not really the price of silver going up as much as is the value of the dollar falling down by the minute cause Bernanke is flooding the market with yet more worthless paper money . Silver and gold are MONEY always were and always will be , this 41 years of FIAT currency experiment is coming to an end and people are starting to wake up to the fact that only silver and gold are money ...please keep on hoarding silver price is going over $100 before the end of this year the genie is out of the bottle and there is stopping it ...LOL...

Stephen Leeb : Silver price will go exponential

Stephen Leeb on Goldseek Radio 20 Apr 2011 : ...what I am more concerned about to be honest with you is what going on with Silver market and rare earth market says Stephen Leeb these markets are up more than 30 percent since the Japanese Earthquake and the nuclear accident , I do not think it is coincidental I really think it is recognition that silver and rare earth are going to be in tremendous demand because they are central to renewable energy , and if the nuclear is going to take a back seat even in China where they will still go forward pretty aggressively with nuclear they're really got to be more conscious of the risks that means a lot more solar a lot more wind a lot more rare earth a lot more silver , I would not be surprise that the Chinese are behind the Silver market move Stephen Leeb added ...or a major part of it , if that's the case I would guess the silver will go much more higher ....Silver price will go exponential

Jim Rogers we will see Triple digits Silver this year

Jim Rogers : ...the thing that caught people's attention is that gold was going up so much that's the wrong way to invest , Look I own gold I own silver but where were these guys five years ago ten years ago that's when they should have ben doing all of this (buying huge amounts of silver) unfortunately for all of us most investors do not notice something until there is nice bull market in place such as with gold and silver , after ten years of price rises in gold people are starting to notice ...and yes there will be more people buying gold eventually everybody is going to own gold and then we will have to sell our gold but that's a long way from now ....
If silver continues a parabolic move I have to worry , all parabolic bubbles pops at the end , unless there is a currency crash , if silver goes up to $150 without a currency collapse I would worry says Jim Rogers . All bubbles have poped'. Yes true, however I disagree with Jim Rogers on calling this a bubble , this is not a bubble, even with silver at 250$. What is the alternative to the dollar? Gold and Silver, there is nothing else. It's the dollar bubble that is poping, not silver exploding.Silver is MONEY not a commodity , when you buy silver you preserve your wealth , your wealth in form of silver did not change it is the dollar that is dropping like a rock day after day...

There is less than one once of silver per Chinese, and much less silver than gold. Silver can only go to the moon..please continue hoarding Silver ....



by 2019 Silver will be very rare if current mining is anything to go by then you'll be looking at astronomical levels of many thousands of dollars. Remember Palladium hit $10,000 an oz when that went through a rarity period. Silver is needed more than ever in industry but more importantly the new technologys and energy industry coming forth like Solar. Study Desertec and what they have planned for the Sahara when Gaddafi is bugged off thanks to KING JUAN CARLOS.

Silver Investment Demand Exploding in China

The Guangzhou Daily reported that a man went into a local bullion dealer in Guangzhou and bought 10 million RMB worth of physical silver. This amount converts to roughly $1.5 million USD. This Chinese investor and his assistants brought in eight suitcases full of cash to complete the transaction. I wanted to point out about physical silver is - market price - paper silver has a price determined by the banks, where as real silver has a price determined by the market. With physical silver you can refuse to sell for a particular price and try to find a different buyer whereas with bank silver there is a fixed price and all buyers are considered to be the same. They "make" the market.

The secret is Silver is not just a precious metal it is also an industrial metal , the best conductor of electricity amongst all metals , Industrial companies are buying silver by the tons , today about 40% of silver is used industrially - in solar batteries, water purification systems, computers ,cellphones, circuit boards, plasma TVs and also RFIDs  radio frequency identification devices .By 2015, it's estimated that global industrial demand for silver ,mostly  driven by China and India  will increase by 36%, from 487 million ounces in 2010, to 666 million ounces.  add this to the shortage in supply and you have an idea how high the silver prices will go . Eric Sprott is right in saying " Silver is The Investment of this decade " Eric Sprott runs one of the largest hedge funds in Canada his PSLV (silver) Sprott Physical Silver Trust since it was launched October 29th 2010 it has increased by over 75% in value , IPO at $10/Share now trading at $17/Share .Eric Sprott believes that it is the man in the street who is driving the demand for silver for example the US mint this year has sold as many dollars in silver coins as it has sold in silver coins but the prices are different by 38 to 1 which really means that the common guy is buying Silver the reason silver going up is because of savers Eric says people want to rather own a hard asset than a paper asset there is also the industrial demand and the fear factor related to QE1 , QE2 and a possible QE3 it is not just about the weakness of the dollar , a lot of people are losing confidence in the Euro the Yen and of course the dollar We are still far away from a bubble Eric explains the precious metal ownership is still less than 1 percent so there is no mania going on as of yet , Eric dos not believe that interest rates have anything to do with the silver rally so even if the FED raises its rates it won't affect the rally what's driving it is the lack of faith in the currency , Sprott believes that Silver will dramatically outperform Gold over the next 5 years he calls the next decade the Silver's decade while the last decade was Gold's decade
