    The time to buy always seems to be when nobody else is. I'm certainly doing my part although buying anything I can get a deal on which typically isn't current years bullion.

    The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.

    And if you can find them, they are expensive. Very expensive.

    More than possible with ebay bonus bucks, I do it with every bonus bucks offer. Just got this one for less than spot with the 10% bonus bucks earned and the 1% credit card rebate:

    When the economy is doing well and unemployment is doing well the demand for precious metals falls. Confidence in where you next paycheck is coming from is a good thing. Silver will be below 8 before it's above 14 if this continues for the long term.

    40 million oz sold in 2011---average cost about $36/oz or about $1.4 billion.
    47 million oz sold in 2015---average cost about $16/oz or about $750 million.
    17 million oz sold in 2018---average cost about $16/oz or about $270 million.

    That's just physical silver eagles which is just a drop in the bucket. The paper derivative market aka fantasy land is where manipulation occurs. Manipulators move paper, not physical metal. And oh yeah they can just as easily manipulate the price higher if they so choose.

    physical silver prices are based on spot prices. spot prices are based on synthetic silver paper prices. Who knows what physical silver prices would really be if physical silver supply and demand actually determined them. I'l betcha they would be higher than an unlimited supply of paper silver says they should be. But you knew this, didn't ya? lol

    Agree with you, regarding common, generic , boring and ugly bullion.

    However, we often talk about "physical silver prices" in terms of attractive, fabricated, "limited edition" items that collectors favor, such as this year's ASE for my set, older poured bars, and even older beer steins, for example.

    For the latter, silver spot price "matters", but so does collector demand, which is variably elastic.

    Correct. There are no diamond futures on the COMEX; their high prices are dictated strictly by supply and demand of the product. Yet you say things would be different for PMs in such a scenario? LOL

    I wonder if this will inspire the mint to stop making stupid ugly things that no one wants? At low prices and low demand levels the 17 minor variations of silver eagles might get cut back. To like 2 maybe , bullion and proof.

    World's apart simply because of the price discovery mechanism. You said "I am highly confident that without the liquidity that the futures market provides, physical silver would be much lower."

    Seems the lack of a COMEX futures market for diamonds has done the opposite for diamond prices. I highly suspect diamond prices would be much lower if they did have a futures market. The diamond market is a perfect example of how supply (albeit tightly controlled) and demand ("a diamond is forever") are supposed to be the tools for price discovery. No such tools for the real PM product when price discovery is based on unlimited promises for the real product.

    PM premiums alone are the only portion of price that are in fact determined by actual physical supply and demand. As you well know, the base price (spot) is determined by unlimited promises to deliver.

    The article makes a possible connection between lower gold sales at the US Mint and lower firearms sales and the election of Trump.

    While that may be the case, it doesn't mention why the increasing demand for gold from China & India isn't impacting the paper price of gold in the US.

    Bill Holter points out that there is only about 4T of un-allocated gold now at Comex and that Treasury auctions have been undersubscribed. Gold has no counterparty, and the dollar is having trouble.

    It's not rocket science. There will be some turbulence, probably soon, but who the heck knows the outcome?

    Unlimited....you make it sound so nefarious. Lol. There is nothing "unlimited" about it. Still gotta have a buyer and seller. Are they unlimited?

    But as I think about your diamond analogy, it that does support my contention. As you know ;), diamonds are practically worthless until all shined pretty and mounted on more shiny metal and offered to someone with a promise.

    Silver, without a more liquid market, would need to be all shined up, maybe have a cute motto stamped on it, and offered with a promise to have any value.......hmmm. ;):)

    It means that you don't want your gold stored at Comex.

    Dollar trouble? Have you looked at a chart?

    Golly, the dollar looks stellar compared to the other paper currency disasters. So what? The issue is unsustainable levels of debt, not comparison to other fiats.

    "With an unallocated account the customer doesn't have an entitlement to any specific bullion bars, and is a creditor of the bullion bank. So long as the customer is happy with the counterparty risk, this is the cheapest way for him to have exposure to gold. From the bank's point of view, there is no need to hold more gold than required to meet customer withdrawals."

  • Seems like a great time to buy more gold and other precious metals.

    On a side note, it also seems like a great time to obtain cryptocurrency. I, myself, have a small collection of Bitcoins.

    It's also possible to obtain gold with bitcoin on places like Vaultoro.

    If there was a futures (derivatives) market in "paper" diamonds, the price of physical diamonds would likely be much lower. Based on the non-scarcity of diamonds, it is hard to imagine that prices would be higher if there was a paper market in diamonds.

    Conversely, if there was no futures (derivatives) market in "paper" precious metals, the price of physical precious metals might be much higher.

    Of course. But it will only happen if JPM decides to drive up the price and cash in their vault full of physical holdings.
    I suspect they want to continue buying on the cheap and accumulating massive profits with their shorts. . . for now.

    Neither diamonds nor silver are scarce. Small diamonds already trade for just a few dollars per carat. It's only the bigger and shinier and produced for aesthetic appeal that sell for more. You know all about that process, right dcarr?

    For those who think silver would trade for more without a futures market enabling global a convenient means of bringing producers and consumers together, please enlighten me. My ears and eyes are open. :)

    What's fake is the hoopla surrounding it. You tout it as being a "fundamental" when it actually means nothing.....just like all the other fake and misleading stories that get pushed by PM bugs.

    The guilty parties are the dealers, not the investment per se'. The fraudsters should be prosecuted. You can't prosecute silver, nor is there a reason to do so. There are more banksters who are complicit in the scheme to defraud investors in stocks & bonds through HFT manipulation and interest rate manipulation than there will ever be bullion dealers who are complicit in a scheme to defraud investors in silver, simply because there are more banksters involved in those activities.

    Caveat emptor. That's true for any investment (or speculation).
