Like I said I was doing about a week ago, billionaire Sprott is copying me,,,lol I'm kidding (not really). Our boy Kid Dynamite gets a mention in there too.
"On Wednesday, Mr. Sprott said his comment about silver does not mean he is abandoning gold altogether. “Anything I said about it being the resource of the last decade was not to suggest that it wasn’t going to do well this decade,” he said. “It’s just I think silver will do better.”

ReplyDeleteMorgan Stanley Affirms Forbes Recession Call Two Days Ago. This morning Moran Stanley triggered a sharp selloff in stocks here and Europe on their prediction of a recession. This is a Wall Street affirmation of my blog (Streettalk) two days ago “There’s A Recession Coming According To The Data.” The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 500 points at the opening, breaking below 11,000 as Morgan Stanley ‘s prediction intensified the fear factor for extremely nervous investors. Again, in face of sharp weakness in the equity market, gold rose to a new record high of $1821 an ounce, and loooks poiiused to make further gains. Speculation in silver has picked up as a folloow-trade to gold.
Today, there was more unpleasant data suggesting a downturn in the US just as Europe has slowed even worse. The Philadelphia Factory Order Index, which is widely followed as a leading indicator, came in at minus 30.7. At the same time July existing home sales figures showed a fall of 3.5%.

Hmmmm... Silver/Gold ratio must be looking yummy!
ReplyDeleteAnyone see what happened to Oil this morning - down 9% to $83.25US. I bought some 2X Bull (HOU)
@felix: although I believe oil is going will be higher at the end of the year, you may have bought just a smidge too early. I see CLZ11 going to 80.61 before the turn around we both are looking for.
ReplyDelete1000 pardons... It was HOU that was down 9%. Means crude down 4.5%

ReplyDeleteGreat Panther commentary:

A very simple lesson on gaps: pull up ESU11. Look at the close on 8/5 at 1197.75. Look at the high on 8/8 at 1189. GAP. Now, it rallied to close the gap on 8/15. Even though it was only a little more than 2+ trading days, once it closed the gap, it basically did nothing. Those 2+ trading days were the days those m'fers were distributing to the CNBC watchers. Once they sold what they thought they could get away with...BAM! (that would be today). Always look for gaps, and you can predict (most of the time) where the market---don't care what it is-is going to come back to, even if it is just for a day.
ReplyDeleteMETALS BEATS PAPER
ReplyDeletej.w.says
Mining stocks are not keeping pace with the bullion metal. The ultimate problem is paper securities and the trust held in them. Persistent stories about well supplied hedge funds shorting mining stocks, stories of naked shorting of small mining stocks (see Alpha Group), and other sponsored spread trades to support bullion metal over the mining stocks have all contributed to the decline in shares. The distrust in all things paper, as in financial securities, at a time when trust in sovereign debt is on the wane, when financial sector insolvency is argued, when bond fraud has gone unprosecuted, has created a hostile climate for investments. The shortage of credit and capital to anything except USTreasury debt has exacerbated the condition. The HUI index of mining stocks has not done well versus the basic precious metal, the gold bullion, since the spring months. The threat of USEconomic recession will only make the situation worse, certain to lead to more whacks to the equity markets. Gold bullion has no counter-party risk, no paper dependence. Stay clear of the fraudulent custodians and their GLD & SLV fraud-strewn funds for lazy investors who do no research. They will be separated from their metal claims, handed cash in redemption, and sent away. One point of fraud proof is that GLD & SLV have a discount to the metal, while legitimate funds like the Sprott Trust and Central Exchange Fund include a premium price to the metal. That is because the big cartel banks, as custodians, are shorting shares of GLD & SLV, sending the metal inventory to the COMEX to satisfy delivery needs.

ReplyDeletecorrect me if I'm wrong, SGS, but if Sprott is making this (huge) move, he sees something coming reeeeeeal soon.... This guy is no idiot and if he is positioning himself for a bump, we all may want to heed his play?
ReplyDelete@goboy9: I wouldn't say real soon, as he is Godzilla walking over Japan. He has to do it early, and hope noone is watching. It is bullish all the same.
ReplyDeleteHow many think Schiff wants to bang the anchor woman?
ReplyDelete@Ledbedder - stoopidity alert! No disrespect intended.
ReplyDeleteI looked up ESU11 - E-Mini S&P 500 Sept11. Here's the stoopid newbie question .. what the frig does this have to do with oil?
Where is gold going to have a short term peak? Maybe very soon, and I'll give you this: for anyone that cannot go to a website & just draw it, print out a chart of GCZ11. Good. Now, starting on the intraday high on 5/2, draw a straight line to the intraday high on 8/11. Now, look at today's intraday high. Came very close to hitting that line, didn't it? Once it hits that line, I look for a pause. How long? I don't know, but the reason for looking at it is so you don't add new positions there. Once you train your eyes to see this, you'll be amazed. I could spend the rest of the afternoon giving you example after example of this & it would blow your mind. Good luck all, and I hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful day here in PA, so I am going to enjoy it now.
Adam, how many think the anchorwoman wants to bang the guy with all the gold?
ReplyDeleteAnyone hear about this new canadian funds? Spread ETF.Something about playing the spread between silver and gold?
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I said it had anything to do with oil. There is a gap down there (oil) that will need to be filled before the true swing up. If it seemed I connected oil with ESU11, then I typed it or worded it incorrectly.
ReplyDeleteThanx Ledbedder, and sorry, I am easily confused.
ReplyDelete@felix, not a problem
ReplyDeleteLost in all of today's noise is whether or not B of E is shrink wrapping a bunch of pallets of gold to send to Hugo.

ReplyDeleteI'll bet you didn't know that the invasion of Libya forces 40,000 Chinese oil workers home in a hurry and cutting of an important oil source.

ReplyDelete8/5 closed at 1197.75
8/8 intraday high of 1189
No trading between 1197.74 and 1189.1, thus a "gap". A gap is simply a place where no trading has occured.

@goboy9, if I may.
ReplyDeleteSprott & Embry have been saying Silver is the investment of this decade. Gold has had a great run in the past month and silver is the laggard. I think he sees a Silver move out doing Gold for the short term and he's leveraging his gold - why not? Clearly gold is in hot demand by central banks globally and will continue as the markets crash and printing sky rockets. Silver is a time bomb waiting for a reason to explode and Sprott knows this!
Do you guys know what the pirate paid to have his ears pierced...A buck an ear!
ReplyDelete@Adam: that is fun funny stuff

Ben Davies has done the same. Not sure what these guys are seeing but the trend has been for gold's outperformance. Reminds me of earlier in the year when silver was outperforming and everyone was gnashing their teeth. Although at that time we didn't have the titans shifting silver into gold expecting gold to catch up. I think you gotta have some gold as well as silver here because this is clearly a "risk off" environment.
ReplyDelete@Tom H and @Ledbedder
ReplyDeleteI love finding dumb ass shit like that on You Tube. I need a good laugh today. I just found out I didn't get IT directors position I interviewed for last week. Would have paid $1,000 (net) more fiat per month and I would have purchased more silver with it. Oh, well. At least I still have a dead end job...but that's not good enough for me.
