Is there really a Silver Shortage? Is Gold running out?

No one said there was 40 million ounces in the world mined each year. That was alone in the US. The 300 million ounces was the stuff mined last year! No one said that there was a shortage yet who is currently credible. What they have said is that if these prices are kept artificially low that when the next crash happens, and it will, then silver will be in a massive shortage that will make the Hunt's brother corner attempt and the ammo shortages look like child's play.

SIlver Shortage and The Best Patterns For Silver Investment

Recent reports of India purchasing 5800 metric tones of Ag in 2013 due to increased taxes on Au purchases. Silver has been money for over 2000 years...and when the global financial derivative chickens come home to roost Ag will again be the only medium of trade for the common folk ( 7 billion+ ) as fiat will no longer command any place in trade.

LME chief flags gold fix flagging

Amid investigations of manipulation and price-fixing, Deutsche Bank, became the first to resign from both the London Gold Fixing and Silver Fixing panels in May.
The lawsuits piling up and the ongoing probe by the UK financial regulator – and the first of what could be a slew of fines – meant that the German banking giant could not find any buyers for the seats.

Talks on how to overhaul the London Gold fix which has been used as a benchmark for the global physical trade in the precious metal for the past 95 years is still under discussion under the direction of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).

To anyone buying gold in June: your patience shall be rewarded

Patient investors who buy when prices are at the low-point of the cycle always win in the long run. Historically gold prices are cheapest in June. Gold prices are at a low-point in their cycle. Buy while prices are low this month and your reward may come sooner than expected.

Why’s that? Did gold prices not fall $50 in the past week? Yes, gold prices are exceptionally cheap. Bullion billionaire Eric Sprott offers the following bullish thoughts in his latest missive:
1. The Gold Forward Offered Rate remains very low, with extended periods of time in negative territory.
2. Why is Germany’s repatriation of their 674 tonnes of gold taking so long? As of March 2014, only 69 tonnes had made their way back, a pace of less than five tonnes a month. If there is no shortage of gold, why are the US and UK exporting so much gold to Switzerland? (which itself exports most of it to China).
3. According to some estimates, China consumed over 4,800 tonnes of gold in 2013, implying that about 3,600 tonnes were drawn from global stocks (i.e. western vaults) to satisfy demand.
4. All this Chinese buying is reflected in the monstrous amounts of gold deliveries on the Shanghai Gold Exchange.

Silver Doctor: Physical Silver Demand Still Strong

 




Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed The Doc from Silver Doctors in this 30 minute interview.

The interview starts with Jason asking Doc about the end of the London (LBMA) Silver Fix and what it means for silver prices.

Next, Jason asks about physical silver demand and if demand is still strong. Doc talks about record demand from the US Mint and from the Royal Canadian Mint.

Doc also says retail demand from his website has been strong but there is no silver shortage so premiums are not high.

Jason and Doc talk about how gold and silver may go sideways for another few months before finally starting to move higher before the end of 2014.

Next, Jason asks Doc about ''Lead Bullion'' or ammunition and why Doc just got into selling ammunition on his website. Doc talks about the 2nd Amendment and why it's important for people to own guns.

Jason then brings up the supply/demand market for guns and ammo and why he thinks guns and ammo in the US are in a huge secular bull market.

Jason closes out the interview asking Doc for his opinion about the macroeconomic situation and then Doc talks about a new WWII commemorative coin he has on sale on his website.

Gold may have lost favour, but its long-term prospects are excellent

 by Dave Levenstein, June 06 2014, 11:00


GOLD prices fell sharply last week as US equities soared despite a downward revision in US gross domestic product (GDP) that showed that the had economy contracted in the first quarter.
While gold prices plunged to a weekly low of $1,240, the S&P 500 pushed further into record territory and the Dow neared its best-ever mark. Under normal circumstances a decline in GDP growth would have an adverse effect on equities, but almost every time there is negative news, particularly in the US, the stock market moves higher.
According to data from the US Department of Commerce, the US economy declined by 1% in the first quarter.
"The downturn in the percent change in real GDP primarily reflected a downturn in exports, a larger decrease in private inventory investment, and downturns in nonresidential fixed investment and in state and local government spending that were partly offset by an upturn in federal government spending," the report said.
The results of the recent European Union (EU) parliamentary elections showed that many people are extremely discontented with a system of government that is directed from Brussels, in particular individuals in France and England.

Physical Shortage Of Gold And Silver, Manipulation, Economy

Gold Silver Worlds: In this month’s Markets at a Glance, Eric Sprott presents a collection of thoughts on why he thinks precious metals is a compelling investment right now. He looks at three major topics: physical shortage in gold and silver, manipulation of precious metals prices, and the dire state of the economy. All this points to the same conclusion, i.e. the fundamental strength of precious metals investments.

• The Gold Forward Offered Rate (GOFO) remains very low, with extended periods of time in negative territory (Chart 1).
• Why is Germany’s repatriation of their 674 tonnes of gold taking so long? As of March 2014, only 69 tonnes had made their way back, a pace of less than 5 tonnes a month.
• If there is no shortage of gold, why are the U.S. and U.K. exporting so much gold to Switzerland? (which itself exports most of it to China).
• According to some estimates, China consumed over 4,800 tonnes of gold in 2013, implying that about 3,600 tonnes were drawn from global stocks (i.e. western vaults) to satisfy demand.
• All this Chinese buying is reflected in the monstrous amounts of gold deliveries on the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
• Dubai is building a new gold refinery capable of handling 1,400 tonnes, and current global gold refining capacity is about 6,000 tonnes (world mine production is less than 3,000 tonnes a year). Why would they need so much refining capacity if physical demand was not buoyant?
• As the major gold miners cut back on exploration, future mine supply will remain constrained.
• Another “temporary source of supply” (900 tonnes) has been ETFs, which have been raided for most of 2013. However, as Chart 2 shows, they have now stabilized. Other things being equal in demand, where will that 900 tonnes of supply come from in 2014?
• Interestingly, the Silver Institute, in its 2014 World Silver Survey, noted that there was a 96 million ounces shortfall in 2013 due to strong physical demand.

Silver Eagle Sales Limits Ends, Silver Prices Tumble in May

 Bullion 2014 American Silver Eagle sales held at very strong levels in May even as the silver market turned down for the third month in a row.The bullion coin numbers were aided, albeit, from a mid-month sales adjustment that saw April’s total drop and May’s figure lifted.
But first, in precious metals futures, silver prices for July delivery ended May at $18.68 an ounce, equating to a drop of 49 cents from its position at the end of April, or a dip of 2.6%. This third straight monthly decline marks a loss of $2.56, or 12.1%, from February’s close — the last month to see a gain. Year to date, silver prices have shed 69 cents, or 3.6%.
Looking at other precious metals futures:

• Gold at $1,246.00 an ounce dropped 3.9% in May
• Palladium rose to $836.35 an ounce, rallying 2.9% for the month
• Platinum at $1,452.70 an ounce rose 1.7% in May

Year to date, gains stack to 3.6% for gold, 5.7% for platinum and 16.4% for palladium.

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.
