  No I don’t but I’ll certainly be looking into it! I’ll go through my old micro text books and let you know if they say anything about it. I don’t remember any mention but I got my degree in 1985. that’s a long time ago!

  Is there a consensus on this site that all government is corrupt, MSM are part of the machine.
  Fiat money is a scam, and most education is a farce.
  Quite the pickle, I’d say !!

  Now I know why they are semingly absent from the forum today, they are out about Paris and doing Max’s teenage dance steps and drinking various Veblen spirits. All for a mere worthless ounce of gold.

  The retail gold buyer may buy based on that tungsten gold article, but they don’t drive the price.

  @marietta … ” how to convert elemental silver to a salt of silver ”

  The concentration is pretty important.
  There is special equipment on Ebay … costs ca. 80 Euros.
  25 ppt is the norm … the “size” of the colloids is important.

  Here’s a tester for 20$

  Silver short squeeze

  One need look no further than the Silver futures to see just how strange the markets are right now.

  October Bank Report – 2 US Banks are short 38,375 Silver Contracts. This is 29.1% of all Commercial Short Positions (91,723). Total Contracts: 131,801. Why does this matter?

  1. Traders are supposed to be limited to 6,000 total positions in the futures market. Even if you divide the contracts evenly, both banks (which of course remain unnamed by COMEX) would be short 19,000+ or more than 3 times the position that “normal” traders can possess. That gives these two banks three times the clout that you or I could possibly possess.
  2. Short position is 191 Moz of Silver sold short. That is almost a third of the entire YEARLY world production of silver sold short by two US banks. You decide what kind of an effect that would have on prices.
  3. Total Contracts cover 659 Moz of Silver. World Production last year was 670 Moz.
  4. Commercial Short Position of 91,723 is 458 Moz. Commercial Shorts were 82.4% of all short positions in the COMEX. If that doesn’t represent manipulation, I’m not sure what does.
  5. The Bank Participation Report is an increase of 8500 contracts short in just 30 days. That’s 42 Moz of Silver sold short at a time when Silver went from $16/oz to 17.63. I think that would qualify as applying the brakes on prices.

  Do realize that I would use CS as a last measure. Stock piling antibiotics would be best and use them as long as they are effective. if no longer effective, and only thing left is CS vs. death then of course go with CS.

  @Youri:
  Well, carbon credits aren’t absolutely nothing as much as the space for something which hasn’t yet been created: a debit.

  “This is who is behind it all! This is yet another MASSIVE PONZI SCHEME! The exact same global financial criminals will be selling absolutely nothing (carbon credits?)”

  It’s based on something which is the appropriation of man’s breath. Nasty. (Oh and animal-based food production and industrial output)

  someone mentioned etfs earlier. I put some money in CEF, a gold and silver etf from Central Fund of Canada. Gold bugs on the net actually said it was an ETF of precious metals that you could trust.

  Carbon credits are the commodification of life itself.

  The ultimate usury system for the oligarchs and governments. Complete control over life to be harvested.

  interesting point about colloidal silver.
  Apparently it is used sometimes still in bandages for burn victims as a non-specific anti-bacterial.
  How does its cost compare to antibacterials though? Especially as the price of silver is going to the moon!

  Yes, we are of course only talking about CS for experimental use .. not as an antibiotic !

  @phil

  you are correct

  We just bought a new clothes washer with a 1 oz silver bar in it to act as an antibacterial. This is expected to last 3000-5000 wash cycles.

  It actually works well
• marietta

  Nov 16, 2009 at 9:57 am

  

  And i’m probably using the word “hedge ” improperly. I just mean that if all the gold is counterfeit, at least there is silver . The fund can’t go to zero.
  (unless the silver is counterfeit too) Gulp!

  CEF behaving strangely today. It should be way up but is lower than when price of both gold and silver was lower 10 days ago. They must also hold a hedge on their physical holdings and may have gotten caught on the boner up in price today.

  I sold silver this morning and am waiting for a rinse down. Who knows? I am just Robin Hooding the treacherous financial markets and then reinvesting in the real stuff. I hate the banks so trading in gold and silver is an excellent way to move against them if one is lucky and nimble but it is not easy. We could see a move very soon to 1173 area and if this is the case than silver could quickly move up again as well, all depends on the close today if they hold these levels.

  Ultimately for all the blogging and the rage, the very best way to hurt the banksters and end their reign of terror is to buy and own precious metal. It is Kryptonite to their demented Superman.

  @buddhabob – CEF sank because they announced a new offering last week; every time they offer new shares, it sinks in such a way that it trades at a discount; they use the proceeds from sales to buy new gold and silver

  Marietta,

  Ask your husband about Aqua Regia. If anyone is worried about their gold being seized, you can dissolve it in Aqua Regia, then put it on the shelf & no one will notice. This worked against the Nazis: two chemists hid their Nobel Prizes this way.

  thanks Stacey, I didn’t know that but should have. It is a decent trading vehicle with relatively low beta compared to GDX and UGL. I will buy in very soon as once price is discounted it should play catchup soon enough.

  I have a friend who buys only CEF because they actually own the precious metal and he feels it is easier and as good as a certificate of ownership with say a goldmoney or some other outfit. I am not so sure about that. What happens in the event of an implosion or a price run in Gold to 3,000. would the banksters possibly step in and attempt to halt trading in a CEF, could they try to launch an attack on it? Is it that much different from owning the real stuff ?

  any comments anyone? best,bb
