Why Are Premiums On Physical Gold And Silver Rising Even As Futures Crash?

 Premiums on physical Gold and Silver are on the rise again after both metals were smashed again Wednesday. Why are investors paying premiums for Gold and Silver when so many forecasts on further crashes are doing rounds? What do they know that these biggies are missing or is it simply deeper

manipulation of the Paper Gold and Silver prices? Is it again due to the naked shorting by the usual suspects, trading desks, big banks and hedge funds? Has the physical market completely disconnected from the paper market? Right - Gold and Silver physical markets are facing a complete disconnect with the paper or the futures market only based upon the fact that these paper markets can be easily manipulated. These markets were initiated for achieving a better price discovery based on current fundamentals and prospective future demand and supply factors. But now have become a playground for the Big and Influential or more popularly known as TBTF. Much has already been spoken, written and debated upon the same and I would prefer not to get into those details again here. Whatever is the reason for the gold and silver price smash, what I wonder is, who in his right mind would prefer to pay a large premium for something that he would get at a much cheaper price in just some more time? - No, these investors just won't wait, but rather stand in long queues, pay premiums and confirm holding some Gold and Silver rather than await a more attractive price. Why? It's the shortage of supply in gold and silver and more bottlenecks in supply expected as the mining industry halts productions. Going ahead I'll explain the same.

Silver Demand: The Photovoltaic Industry

Thursday, 6/27/2013 09:55 
THE PHOTOVOLTAIC industry didn't start to show on charts, according to the CPM Group of New York, until the year 2000 when they consumed approximately 1,000,000 ounces, writes Miguel Perez-Santalla at BullionVault.

Essentially that is barely a blip on the silver consumption chart. In fact in comparison to the smallest of the large consumers at the time, which was electronics, it was not even a tenth of their consumption.

It was not expected that this industry would become an important player in the silver market for years to come. The facts at hand of the silver data prove this out. It was not until the year 2008 that the industry reached any volumes of importance having consumed nearly 19,000,000 ounces.
 What happened in the global economy was that major subsidies were being given for the development and promulgation of solar energy by sovereign nations. Germany, at first the largest consumer, was then followed by many other European nations in this objective. But it was not until the USA began to offer subsidies that the silver consumption for these products became of major importance.

The photovoltaic industry in certain countries became very important sectors and so with the global economic crisis many were to suffer. Spain specifically suffered tremendous economic losses in this industry when the state pulled its subsidies. This has been a major concern for developers and businesses involved in solar power.

Ugly Day for Silver

Jeff Nielson- Silver Market Getting Ridiculous
Jeff Nielson of Bullion Bulls Canada discusses:

(1) How he's shocked that silver has gone this low

(2) How he agrees with me that there could be a deflationary headfake and metals could even drop further (which doesn't make sense to the both of us)

(3) How he's no longer allowed to post on the Street.Com's website

Is the Silver Price Finally Bottoming Out?

By The Daily Reckoning • June 27th, 2012 •

Over a year ago, I penned an article entitled "4 Silver Investments to Avoid." About two weeks later, on April 26th, I wrote another article: "Should I Sell My Silver?" saying that I expected an imminent correction in the silver price, after it had gone "parabolic."

It caused quite a stir at the time. There was no shortage of people calling me delusional for suggesting the bull market in silver was overdue for a pause. Some even labeled me a "traitor," presumably to the "hard money" movement.
One of the silver companies I recommended to NOT buy immediately contacted me after the article was published, insisting there was nothing to worry about, and that their stock was a great investment.
For the record, since then, the price of silver is down 35.2% (based on the London PM fix). And of the four silver investments I said to avoid:
1. The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is down 33.3%.
2. Large silver bars have obviously gone down commensurately with spot silver.
3. Shares in Silvercorp Metals (SVM) are down a WHOPPING 61.5%.
4. And shares in Coeur d'Alene (CDE) are off by 50.8%.
Not pretty.

How to Invest in Silver and Gold in 2013

Anyone thinking about how to invest in precious metals right now has been watching the plunging prices of gold and silver.

Both metals are firmly in bear market territory. By the end of last week, gold was down about 27% from its 52-week high of $1,803 and silver had cratered by a whopping 43%.

But the recent downward slide in the price of silver and gold has once again revealed to investors the most important fundamental fact about precious metals - they're incredibly volatile. Swings of 50% in value in a single year are not unheard of.

But the fact remains, there are a host of good reasons why you should know how to invest in precious metals and why they are important to a diversified portfolio.

Precious metals offer unique protection against inflation and insurance against financial or political disasters.
