HKMEX to Cease Trading, Will Close Out & Cash Settle Open Contracts Monday!

14 Replies

hkmexWhen the Rothchild’s HKMEx was launched in 2011, much of the metals community assumed that the COMEX & LBMA, were they not to outright default, would fade into irrelevance with the advent of the new Asian metals exchange.
Two years after the exchange’s launch however, in perhaps the most glaring evidence of physical gold & silver shortage to date, the HKMEx has announced it will voluntarily cease trading, and all open positions will be closed out and financially (cash) settled on Monday 5/20!

SD Weekly Metals & MarketsPodcast: Play in new window | Download

The financial media would have you believe that everyone and their dog has given up on the precious metals market. But as Peter Schiff humorously remarked perhaps a few months early:  The gold & silver bull market is dead!  Long live the gold & silver bull market!

On this week’s show, we discuss the recent action in the metals & markets, including:

  • Testing of $22/silver and $1320/gold next week, with the potential for a capitulation spike low as soon as Sunday’s Globex session- silver could see a spike low to $18-$20, & gold a $1200 handle

  • Examination of fundamentals: Nothing has significantly changed

  • Physical versus paper demand trends in both the West and Asian markets

  • George Soros and another documented case of financial media spin

The Collapse Of Fiat Money by a Falling Energy Supply

12 Replies

Middle-East-Consumption-of-Domestic-Oil-Supplies-1980-2011Each passing day, the world gets closer to a total collapse of the global fiat monetary system. After the United States unilaterally terminated the convertibility of the U.S. Dollar to gold in 1971, the world has been settling trade on borrowed time. It was full faith in the dollar and U.S. Treasury market that allowed global trade to continue for 4 decades.
However, faith in the dollar is waning as debts, derivatives and dishonesty plague the financial system. Most analysts (including many in the precious metal camp) are wasting time debating over the mere symptoms and not the disease itself.
We must remember, debts are nothing more than “Energy IOU’s.” To pay back a debt, energy has to be burned so the market can generate goods and services. Thus, this allows for growth to continue which provides a surplus of wealth enabling the repayment of debts.

The problem the world is facing, is not the huge amount of derivatives or debts, but the availability and affordability of its future energy supply. Actually, the world has not been able to afford the energy that it has been consuming for quite some time now. Basically, the world (especially the U.S.) cannot not afford its way of life, so it has created a system of debts and derivatives to cover up and mask the problems.
The collapse of the dollar is already taking place. It has more to do with energy… than most realize.

Controlling the Beginning Stages of Hyperinflation by Manipulating the Precious Metals

3 Replies

Dow-Silver-RatioThe tactic by the Fed and Central Banks is to inflate the stock markets while manipulating the price of gold and silver lower. This achieves two goals: 1) it reassures the public’s faith by pumping up stock prices while the economic indicators continue to deteriorate and 2) it elevates the dollar while it destroys market sentiment in the precious metals.

So far, the strategy has worked. Some of the toughest gold and silver bugs are becoming extremely frustrated and downright bearish. You can’t blame them as this is typical human psychology. Although, extremes and manipulations never last forever and at some point in time they reverse.

If we look at the next series of charts, we can see just how extreme the gold & silver markets have become. In typical inflation-hyperinflations, stock and commodity asset prices rise together. However, since the Fed announcement of Q3, only certain asset classes have risen — mainly stocks, real estate and to a lesser extent, bonds.

cartel-taken-to-kneesOnce again after trading in a tight consolidation range throughout the Asian and London sessions, gold and silver have just been greeted with a vertical Demon Drop Waterfall smash, sending gold back to a $1300 handle, and silver to $22.41.
A re-test of the correction lows of $22.005 and $1320 appears imminent.

Indisputable Proof Paper Gold Markets are Massively Manipulated

Jamie-DimonWhat would you think if someone told you the following?
“Three times this week, I am going to tell you the low price of gold with near perfect accuracy, and one of those three times, I am going to tell you events that will precede the low and the exact time that gold prices will crash.”

You would likely conclude that either:
(1) I am somehow directly involved in setting the price of gold in paper derivative markets, or
(2) that since nearly perfectly predicting gold price movements three times in one week in a free market is impossible, that such an accomplishment would serve as indisputable proof that gold markets are rigged and manipulated by bankers, as none of my predicted price targets depended upon technical chart analysis of any kind.
So let’s summarize my calls regarding gold price movements on three separate occasions last week, and why I feel that the accuracy of these calls serve as indisputable proof that Central Bankers and their agent bullion banks manipulate the price of gold and silver.

Emergency G-7 Meeting: Elite Ready to Pull the Trigger?

economic collapseThe G-7 are meeting this weekend outside of London. This was unscheduled and can only be considered as an emergency meeting.
I have maintained all along that a “bank holiday” would ultimately occur which sets positions in cement while a revaluation of assets and currencies takes place.
My guess is that the end game is in fact being discussed. How best to shut the current system down, reboot another one AND retain as much power as possible. I truly believe that preparations are being discussed here and now “how best” (for them) to close out this current chapter of world finance. All of this has been discussed and planned years ahead of time, these are not fools. The current discussion is merely about pulling the trigger.

One Year In Hell…Surviving a Full SHTF Collapse in Bosnia

economic collapseMany in the precious metals community are eagerly anticipating a complete systemic collapse of the financial system because as “preppers”, they expect to not only survive, but to prosper in a SHTF scenario. We suspect however that the following MUST READ account of surviving the Bosnian war in the midst of a complete collapse of the grid will be eye-opening in just how difficult it is to survive a full-on Mad Max scenario, even if one has spent years preparing for it.

I am from Bosnia. You know, between 1992 and 1995, it was hell. For one year, I lived and survived in a city with 6,000 people without water, electricity, gasoline, medical help, civil defense, distribution service, any kind of traditional service or centralized rule.
Today, me and my family are well-prepared, I am well-armed. I have experience.
It does not matter what will happen: an earthquake, a war, a tsunami, aliens, terrorists, economic collapse, uprising. The important part is that something will happen.
The following is my experience: (Click here for more)
