James Rickards: Financial Collapse and Massive Shortages In Gold Coming

Greg Hunter: Financial expert and best-selling author James Rickards’ latest book predicts “the coming collapse of the international monetary system.”  One of the sign posts is countries like Russia declaring it will shed the U.S. Dollar as reserve currency in international trade.  Rickards explains, “Putin said he envisions a Eurasian economic zone involving Eastern Europe, central Asia and Russia.  The Russian Ruble is nowhere near ready to be a global reserve currency, but it could be a regional reserve currency.”

Rickards’ latest best-selling book, “The Death of Money,” was released in April.  Even Rickards is surprised at how fast the economic situation is unfolding.  Rickards says, “If you ask me what has happened since you finished writing the book that comes as a surprise, I would say a lot of the things I talk about in my book are happening faster than I would have expected.  Things that I thought would happen in the 2015 or 2016 time frame seems to be happening now in some ways.  If anything, the tempo of events is faster than expected.  Therefore, some of these catastrophic outcomes may come sooner than I wrote about.”

Rickards goes on to say, “Right now, we are on the precipice now.  When you are on the precipice, it doesn’t mean you fall off immediately, but you are going to fall off because you can see the forces in play.  What I tell clients and investors is it’s not as if we are going to make some mistakes and some bad things are going to happen.  The mistakes have already been made.  The instability is already in the system.  We’re just waiting for that catalyst that I call the snowflake that starts the avalanche.   You don’t worry about the snowflakes; you worry about the snow and that it’s unstable and it’s just waiting to collapse.  That’s what the system is right now; we are just waiting for a catalyst.  People ask me all the time, what could it be?  Technically, my answer is it doesn’t matter because it will be something.  It could be a failure to deliver physical gold.  It could be an MF Global financial failure.  It could be a natural disaster.  It could be a lot of things.  The thing investors need to understand is the catalyst doesn’t matter.  It’s coming because the instability is already there.”

The Great Migration: Gold and Silver Moving West to East

It was the relentless accumulation of silver in exchange for tea and silk, that eventually led to the opium wars. Opium being used as a counter trade to tea.




  At some point might the Chinese and Russian hording of the majority of the worlds gold render it impractical as a monetary metal for the rest of the world? If there is so little gold available to the West why should the West be concerned with it? For a monetary system to work for a population all the people off that society must dream the same dream. Meaning without faith and desire there is no perceived value to any currency or monetary bedrock.

Bullion Suppliers SOLD OUT of Silver - Shortage Bottom Near Price Update

UPDATE: ALL US WHOLESALE SUPPLIERS ARE NOW SOLD OUT OF EVERY OUNCE OF PHYSICAL SILVER & HAVE SUSPENDED ALL SALES! SDBullion.com has closed due to lack of ANY AVAILABLE SILVER! Two of the largest wholesale suppliers in the US, including Amark and CNT, who is the supplier of gold blanks to the US Mint for Gold Eagles, and is a registered COMEX depository, HAVE JUST SOLD OUT OF ALL PHYSICAL SILVER!!! AND......IT'S GONE!!!!! In the face of an EPIC TSUNAMI of gold and silver sales today as the cartel hammered the price of silver down over 12%, and off $6 from Friday's open, we have just been informed at SDBullion upon trying to place a large inventory order that BOTH AMARK & CNT ARE SOLD OUT OF EVERY LAST OUNCE OF PHYSICAL SILVER!!! Apparently the fact that one of the largest wholesale suppliers in the US is SOLD OUT, while simultaneously the 2nd largest silver mine in the US is offline perhaps permanently is of absolutely no consequence to the paper dumping cartel bullion banks. Bullion bank silver shorts are most likely covering in mass RIGHT NOW, and we'll soon have the data to make the case. Many have speculated that the bullion banks are going to switch to a net long position. There couldn't be a better time to do just that given that at $22/oz, pretty much all existing shorts taken out before this week will be in the money.

Eric Sprott: A Gold Shortage Is Coming

Gold Silver Worlds: Eric Sprott, with more than 40 years of experience in the investment industry, has been speculating since late 2012 that Western central banks could be running out of gold. He attributes the sell-off in gold and silver in 2013 to the fact that the Western banks needed a way to generate physical gold supplies. The metals prices were going down while there was a lot of liquidation of gold which increased the supply by an estimated 900 tonnes last year. Driven by data, Eric Sprott explains in this article the case for a gold shortage. The basic figures are centered around the following:

• The annual supply of gold is around 4,300 tonnes.
• 3,000 tonnes come from mining and the other 1,300 tonnes or so from recycled material2.
• In 2013, an additional 900 tonnes came onto the market from ETFs that were being liquidated – a supply increase of around 21%.

Looking back to the price smash of April 2013, it resulted in a tsunami of buying:

• India bought 336 tonnes from April to June of 20133.
• Chinese started buying record amounts of gold.
• The mine supply, excluding China and Russia which tend not to export any gold, is only around 190 tonnes per month. You had Indians buying 50 tonnes and China buying 90 tonnes – that does not leave much left over for the rest of the world. Blogger Koos Jansen, from In Gold We Trust, says that Chinese demand alone last year was 2,000 tonnes. So demand has far outstripped supply.
• There is also interesting news coming from Dubai concerning this supply/demand imbalance. A group there is building a gold refinery that can process 1,400 tonnes of gold per year6. Well, the current refining capacity in the world is around 6,000 tonnes. Somebody is going to add another 20 percent of capacity. The supply falls far short of that at only 4,300 tonnes. Why is this refining capacity so much higher than the official supply of gold?

A Coming Silver Shortage?

Good Day! . And a Marvelous Monday to you! I sure hope all the Mothers out there had a grand day. I think the ones at my house did. But then I can't be sure, as no one said a word about their day, and you know me, I think it's all sunshine and lollipops all the time! HA! My beloved Cardinals hung on to win one of 3 and avoid getting swept by the Pirates last night. Have I told you how much I dislike Sunday Night games? I'm sure I have so I won't get into that again, other than to say, I dislike Sunday Night games!
Do you know what else I dislike very much? OK, if you guessed disco music, then you would technically be correct! But what I'm talking about here is when I come in, and turn on the screens, and see the news headlines, that they've rehashed for hours, that if you're just now looking at them, they seem to be "new". And it's not until you see the actual currency prices that you can tell that the news story is "old". And so it was this morning, as I saw a headline story talking about the euro being down. But when I turn on the currency prices, I see that the euro is up this morning.

I see the UBS and Citigroup are calling for a decline in the euro. I bet they wished they had done that last week when it looked as if the euro was to hit 1.40 and not look back. They would then seem like geniuses! But here's my take on the euro folks. Now, I'm not saying that the euro can't see more weakness, but to me, it appears that the selling last week was a knee jerk reaction to what the markets believe will be European Central Bank (ECB) action in June. Therefore, all the bad stuff that could come from ECB action in June, has already been priced in! I would take the other side of that bet with UBS and Citigroup. that is if I could. But to them, I'm not even a pimple on their back side!
I see that an ECB member, Weidmann, who just happens to be considered, a hawkish member of the ECB, is scheduled to speak this week, not once but twice! That's a double dose of hawkish tone coming from the ECB this week. And if we get some stronger data from the Eurozone, as is expected this week, that could very well be good medicine for the euro. Tomorrow we get a ZEW report, and as the week goes on, Industrial Production, CPI GDP and some other 3rd tier reports. So, chances are cause I wear that silly grin, the moment you come into view. No wait! What I'm trying to say is that chances are that the euro could see some recovery this week, so take that. UBS and Citigroup! HA! Come on Chuck, that was no time to pull out that Johnny Mathis song, but, I, I, was just typing and it came out that way. OK, you're forgiven.

John Embry Expects a Silver Price Explosion Driven by Physical Shortage

We are a long-time fan of John Embry, as we consider him one of the most experienced people in the precious metals world. In his latest interview on King World News, he confirmed once again what is happening particularly with silver: manipulation of silver prices is still going on but signs of shortage in physical silver are increasing by the day and hence a silver price explosion is almost unavoidable.

Manipulation vs opportunity

Just like several other precious metals experts, John Embry is confirming the ongoing suppression of the gold and silver prices. This is what he had to say on King World News in yesterday’s interview: “Two days before the QE announcement they dropped the price of silver about $1.50 in a nanosecond. It’s the same games being played by the same people, and it’s going to end horribly because all the manipulation is doing is creating wonderful buying opportunities for the Chinese, the Russians, and the rest of the central banks that know full well what’s going on. “

Yes indeed, we have reported on this website numerous times how manipulation has created buying opportunities and who the ones were that  made use of these opportunities. The Eastern countries and non-G6 Central Banks have been accumulating tons of gold. Besides we reported recently that smart money has been accumulating gold on the dips down at the $1,500 level. On an even more fundamental level, we reported that China could be considering to back its currency up by gold.

These are all fundamental evolutions in the gold & silver markets that shouldn’t go unnoticed for anybody, as they are extremely meaningful.

Silver Price Manipulation

The price of silver has been kept in check by via the management of a profitable and decades-long net short futures position held by the market’s largest banking players, who have allegedly been acting as agents for the controllers of money.
Of course, if these controllers selling silver make a futures market trading loss, they only have to print more paper money to pay for it, since the seller of a futures contract controls whether or not physical delivery occurs.

Lower paper silver prices also allow them to pick up cheap physical silver from the unsuspecting public that still typically remains unaware of the futures market manipulation.

Gold is the Gut Reaction, Silver is the Smart Decision

Silver is consumed = it's more rare today. Before it was gold, obviously as time passes more silver has been consumed and since gold isn't consumed


"STOP THE FLOW" of $$$ & the Elitist will panic & react, the beast will weaken & die, & the chains of oppression will be loosed & the people will become free, at least the ones who don't worship the beast.
 The BEST place to buy silver The BEST silver coins The BEST UN-indoctrination .

Which one of these is not like the other? Jim Rickards poses the question to Ivy League professors and 5 year olds, and the results are astounding

Why You Should Buy Silver

The money we have in our wallets, just isn't money. At least it hasn't been since we moved away from the gold/silver standard when it was currency. Anyone who thinks silver will tank down to near nothing is a near sighted fool. The bottom is likely around $18. And it's already gone down that far a couple of times.




even though spot is under $20, the real street price is $25 depending on what type of silver coins u r buying. great video! i hope we get $10 silver again. i like the point made at the end of the video about traditional daily wage in silver.

The Gold/Silver Price Ratio is Out of Whack — What’s Next?

Thursday April 24, 2014, 4:15am PDT
By Charlotte McLeod - Exclusive to Silver Investing News
Last month, Silver Investing News (SIN) received an enthusiastic response to the question, “do you think silver is headed for a supply shortage?” Of over 1,000 participants, 81 percent said they believe a silver shortfall is in the works, reinforcing the idea that while silver prices are down, they’re likely not out.
Despite that overwhelmingly affirmative response, the article raised a number of good questions amongst readers. To address some of them, SIN got back in touch with Andrew Chanin, co-founder of the PureFunds ISE Junior Silver ETF (ARCA:SILJ), whose comments sparked the original article.
To start off with, Chanin addressed the nature of the shortage — in other words, whether we’re looking at a silver supply shortage in that silver in the ground is actually running low, or in the sense that at current prices miners simply aren’t able to produce enough of it. The simple answer is that though the amount of high-grade deposits around the world is falling, at the moment the latter issue is the bigger concern; however, Chanin gave a much more detailed response, explaining why that’s the case.
For one thing, he said, “about two-thirds of all mined annual silver comes as a by-product, and much of that is from base-metals mining.” That’s a problem because many people are calling for a slowdown in emerging markets, which could keep prices for base metals depressed. If that happens, he said, “it might actually make sense to put such mines on hold temporarily.” Ultimately, that means “a significant area of silver supply … could get taken offline.”
Another factor, Chanin noted, is that low silver prices are hurting producing companies’ exploration efforts. Sure, he said, silver priced at $16 per ounce, or even $10 an ounce is possible, but “it would be extremely, extremely difficult for silver-mining companies to produce silver at those levels, [and] difficult, if not impossible, for them to do it profitably.”

Silver $50: Three Years After the "Shortage"

April 2011 saw silver prices double from 6 months before. Why, and what happened next...?

 

SILVER PRICES hit $50 three years ago this week, writes Miguel Perez-Santalla at BullionVault.

 

It was on April 25, 2011 that silver traded $49.80 per ounce in the New York spot market. That means silver traded $50 somewhere. There was a lot of business going on at that time, but after holding above $49 for the rest of that week, silver prices began to retreat. Fast.

 

One of the factors that many traders were looking at was the Gold/Silver Ratio. Some believed that silver was much undervalued versus gold, and would recover its historical price parity of about 16 ounces of silver per ounce of gold.

 

So even though silver hadn't been so expensive in terms of gold for 28 years, and even though Dollar prices had doubled inside 6 months, some traders felt the move wouldn't be complete unless silver traded above the $50 price level it had hit in 1980.

 

The silver market environment of 2011's run to $50 per ounce was, however, very different to that of 1980. The principal driver back then was the continued inflation in consumer prices, plus the attempt by Nelson Bunker Hunt and his partners to corner the silver market – an attempt eventually brought to an end by efforts of the Federal Reserve Bank and certain members of the Commodities Exchange.

 

Thirty years later the global economy again faced serious concerns. Not only was the US economy still reeling from the mortgage crisis and 2008 Lehman Brothers collapse. Now the Eurozone faced break-up as Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Italy and Spain all reported serious problems with their finances.

 

In the United States confidence in the economy continued at record lows. The news out of Europe only heightened concerns of another financial crisis. Then the Fed announced another round of Quantitative Easing beginning in November 2010. Silver coin sales by the US Mint hit a monthly record, surpassed only by early 2011's surge in private-investor demand. Because this new QE meant printing more Dollars (or rather, their "electronic equivalent" as then Fed chair Ben Bernanke had said). So in the minds of many investors the Dollar was under the gun. Seeking safe-haven assets, likely to hold or grow their real value during a prolonged inflation, became of paramount importance.

Doug Casey: Bond Bubble Blowing Up, Gold Silver More Important to Own than 1971 or 2001

Doug Casey of CaseyResearch.com warns, "Were going into what I call 'The Greater Depression.' It's going to be much more serious than what happened in the 1930's. . . . A depression is a period of time when most people's standard of living drops significantly." Casey explains, "There is a gigantic amount of debt in the U.S. at all levels—governmental, corporate and individual. Debt is a sign you have been living above your means. It's a debt bubble, and this is a major reason the government wants interest rates low. When interest rates rise, it makes it harder for people in debt to service that debt. They are simply delaying the inevitable at this point, but it is inevitable what is going to happen, and we are going to have a fantastic depression." On physical gold and silver, Casey says, "Gold is more important to own and perhaps a better bargain now than in 1971 or 2001, and the same is true of silver."
