I find it astonishing that fresh money is being committed to the sector as the calendar year winds down. This is highly unusual as this time of year is historically known as the time for book squaring. What it is telling us is that fund managers have no intention at this point of abandoning a strategy that has paid handsome dividends to them and will undoubtedly be looking to up their ante at the beginning of the New Year. Look for fresh highs early next year in the sector based on what is occurring in some of the various commodities. Sugar, after putting in a 30+ year high, has shot to yet another fresh high in today’s session. Soybeans registered a 26 month high. Ditto for corn. Copper is now trading at $4.30 a pound! Crude oil continues to hold above $90.

• Trader Dan Comments On Soaring Commodity Prices and Plunging Bond Prices

All,

Despite some of the most maniacal market rigging I have ever seen, across the board, in this past month, The Powers That Be are slowly but surely losing their battle to influence perception by holding down gold and silver while propping up stocks, bonds, and the dollar.

Gold and silver are breaking out today, and U.S. Treasury Bonds are again plummeting following another nearly failed bond auction (which of course would have been worse if not for QE buying by the U.S. government).

Stocks are immaterial at this point, as based on recent studies from the well-known Trim Tabs consultancy, the only real buyer in the U.S. stock market these days is the U.S. government as well (as well as some ongoing buying based on a weakening dollar, NOT an improving economy as the media, Washington, and Wall Street will have you believe).

“The dollar”, by the way, is also immaterial in terms of other garbage, fiat (unbacked) currencies such as the Euro and Yen, but against what REALLY MATTERS, COMMODITIES (i.e. the cost of living), it is getting torched, as yet again the CCI Commodities Index is hitting yet another ALL-TIME HIGH TODAY despite a stagnant economy (putting it optimistically), care of massive inflation resulting from unfettered money printing, in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and practically everywhere on earth right now.

The end of the 30-year U.S. bond market arrived this fall, and once again you must shed your “normalcy bias”, which causes people to believe things can’t possibly change, particularly for the worse. U.S. BONDS, BOTH TREASURY AND MUNICIPAL, WILL NEVER, EVER, IN OUR GENERATION BE IN A BULL MARKET, and the sooner you accept this, the sooner you will make investment and life decisions that capitalize on, or at least protect yourself from, higher interest rates.

SELL ALL U.S. BONDS AND BOND FUNDS, BUY GOLD and SILVER, and BUY FOOD AND OTHER LIFE NECESSITIES, AND DO IT NOW!

THE INTERNET BUBBLE POPPED, THE REAL ESTATE BUBBLE POPPED, THE GOLD/BULL, EVEN AT 10 YEARS OF AGE NOW, IS JUST BEGINNING, AND THE LARGEST BUBBLES OF THEM ALL, THE U.S. DOLLAR AND U.S. TREASURIES, IS POPPING NOW!

PROTECT YOURSELF, AND DO IT NOW!

2011 WILL CHANGE THE STATUS QUO FOR WHAT WE HAVE KNOWN FOR ALL OUR LIFETIMES.

Andy

• Case Shiller Misses Consensus As Home Price Decline Continues For 4th Month

MK: This means another wave of QE’s – greater expansion of the Fed’s balance sheet to 20, 25, 30 trillion dollars of worthless mortgage paper swapped for t-bills. This means more buying pressure for PM’s. The US dollar is hanging on by an oil-related thread – but not against Silver and Gold – that are powering higher.

• Cafferty Faucher LLP Files Class Action Lawsuit against JPMorgan and HSBC Alleging Manipulation of Silver Bar Financial Products

Hi S&M,

My name is Michael, I’m a Swede living in Warsaw, Poland.
I have just bought a Silver Vienna Philharmonics coin in the offices of bulioner.pl. The Warsaw, Poland based company that asked for your endorsement a few weeks ago.
I feel amazing!

I’ve been an avid listener/viewer/follower of you and your shows since about 2005. Love how you have given me more knowledge than my University education.

You made me invest my miniscule, yet mine, pension in Gold (mines) funds. Your talks on Madge’s (The Bloated Lesbian) show, The Oracle, Al Jazeera, Death of the Dollar, you name it… Been there, done that.

Now, finally, I have gotten around to join the Silver fight. And I must say thank you for making it happen.
There is an inertia in people that has to be dealt with before they can take action; for me it was finding my salary on my account and being but a bus ride away from a PM dealer I read about on your site.

I told my friend (also big fan) and he say he want a coin too!!!
Keep up the absolutely amazing good stuff, you guys!

Yours Sincerely,
Michael

Hi Stacy,

Recently the Keiser blog posted one of our experimental videos where we tried selling silver to passer-bys for $5 (back when it was only at $18/oz). We were happy to see the blog find our video, however there are many more where that came from.  We are amidst creating an animated film <http://silvercirclemovie.com/> about the economic collapse and the importance of alternative currency thus we get around the city of Boston quite a bit to interview people.

Recently we went to Harvard University to talk to the students there on how the recession has affected their lives. After their collegiate answers, we asked them to purchase our silver for $5 (which was at about $29/oz that day) to which they all politely declined. Max had stated he’d like to see the experiment now that silver has went up…so here it is….

Please share the video! Harvard University – How has the Recession Impacted Your Life?
