$3 billion worth of Gold - Tungsten filled?

Ever wondered what large amount of Gold look like?

Here you go...

Gold supply decreasing, demand increasing = ......

Everyone knows that in a commodity, when the supply decreases and demand remains the same or increases, the price of that commodity will rise.

So with that and mind, I'd like to draw your attention to this article:

Silver Update - 11 Dec 12

Haven't been able to post an update for a while but here's a quick rather broad update on general sentiment. Hope this helps.

SAS Soldier now free...

It's an absolute travesty that this whole event even happened. I love this country but it really does do some stupid things....a lot of the time!

Glad that he's back now...

The Fed lost $9 Trillion...watch them squirm...

If you fancy having a laugh, watch the Fed squirm under questioning. This really is a joke...

Fake Gold popping up everywhere!

There have been a lot of cases of fake Gold popping up everywhere and even from world famous Bullion Dealers. That's the problem with selling second hand bullion, so if a bullion dealer tries to sell you second hand coins/bars (especially bars) be very careful. There's more of a risk with Gold than Silver, just like you don't see many fake 5p coins, but you tend to see a lot of fake £20 notes. It's a case of the fraudster's time/cost/effort for ROI. Hence why I always stick with Silver 1oz Government Mint coins. I've actively sought to find a good fake Maple Leaf or American Eagle on eBay and can't find any. Fake coins like this are normally very obvious. Good fake coins are rather hard to come by...(which is a very good thing!)...

Picture of overtly blatant Silver manipulation...

This is a textbook example of Silver suppression. Silver has been moving upwards rather strongly and is threatening the key $35 level. Therefore JP Morgan nearly always tries to suppress this by smashing it down by dumping millions of ounces of fake paper Silver onto the market in a very short period of time. It drops the price and then the high frequency robot traders picks this up and amplifies the move to silly proportions! And this large move here happened in less than 5 minutes!

However it's rather promising that the price shot straight back up though. This shows great upwards strength. The next few weeks will be very interesting, especially as the festive months are historically very good for Silver prices...

Also, the speculative side of me is thinking that this was also a very large stop run. Basically the powers that be can actually see where everyone's stop losses are, so a stop run is where the market is driven down or up to stop people out (get you out of your trade) so that a large order can be conveniently filled...

Last Free Seminar - Northampton

This is just a shameless plug for my last free seminar which is being held in Northampton. There's been such a great response from these seminars so far and I'd love to meet you if you come along. You can grab a seat here:

Short term Silver outlook

Just a quick heads up...

The media is very slowly catching up...

A thank you for one of our followers who sent me this link today : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/investing/article-2237878/MIDAS-SHARE-TIPS-Gold-quintuples-years-rising.html

It's nothing that we don't already know but it does appear that Gold and Silver is slowly creeping into the media's attention. However they always miss out on what's going on in the Silver market. Gold is a smart move, however the smarter investors are investing in Silver due to the hundreds of reasons stated in www.HedgingAgainstUncertainty.com 

And in case you haven't seen what's happening to the prices...here's the latest:

Silver Price To Increase 400% in 3 Years

Just came across this article in the Telegraph. Seems as though the larger papers are finally catching up with what's going on in the Silver world...

Is Apple the next Western Bubble to POP?!

I've been highlighting over the last few weeks how weak the US stock market is at the moment. I've shown forecast after forecast of how the S&P 500 could/will fall - and it has. However one of the main questions I'm getting at the moment is:

"But why is the Stock Market falling? The news says things are peachy now..."

Well for a start, without sounding too crass, if you believe that we're about to grow out of this recession, 2 points, i.) Not a chance in hell. Apple, the Stock Markets and the economy are going to hell in a handbasket, and ii.) you really need to watch this is full: www.HedgingAgainstUncertainty.com paying particular attention to the wealth cycles I explain in it.

The main reasons that we've seen a slight climb in equities over the last few months is mainly due to QE3 and also the fact that the Powers-that-be are all playing the status quo game. Election years are funny times and in a 6 month period we're having the US, Chinese and German elections. So once all that is out of the way, then the drama (Europe) can then unfold. As you may have noticed, just before the US election the NFP report was unusually rosy compared to previous months and the words 'FISCAL CLIFF' were nowhere to be heard on the news.

Also, another reason the US Stock Market (S&P 500) has been relatively buoyant recently is because Apple was the only thing keeping it afloat. However with less than expected iPhone 5 sales and less than expected 'fake growth' with QE3 and other factors, the Apple bubble is now popping. And as Apple deflates, so too will the S&P500. And as the S&P500 falls, so too will the rest of the world Stock Markets. So it doesn't look peachy. Unless Apple quickly releases their new iPanel product and it revolutionises TV like it did with MP3 players and mobile phones, there's very little hope of prosperity here. Even if that does happen, I fear it will be short lived though.

So what can we do?

I never give financial advice, but in my opinion, you're playing with fire if you have positions in the Stock Market (even if you think your big Blue Chip company is super strong). In 2008 we saw at least 5 of the biggest banks in the US go under and when the eventual crisis unfolds around 2014-2017, think of 1929 on steroids. If the Internet and Google was about in 1929, that crash would have been a lot worse! So without sounding like a 1 track record, you simply can't go wrong with buying Gold and Silver bullion coins. It's in my opinion the best hedge against the greed and over-leverage of the financial puppeteers. I've attached a little overview of Apple below.

US Stock Market sell off imminent...

If you have stocks and shares, please be very careful...

Please see previous posts to see how and why this has developed...

Doesn't look good for the US Stock Market...

Possibility of Stock Market crash now critical...

When the S&P falls, so too will the FTSE...

Is this the best investment ever?

This is a slightly old video of Robert Kiyosaki (author of Rich Dad Poor Dad) on his view of Silver. Kiyosaki was right about the Tech bubble collapse, the housing bubble and is now piling heavily into Gold and Silver...

What is the next bubble? Here it is...

Is this the set up of a market crash?

Why are the Banks so scared of Silver?

Not exactly the most eloquent video I've made, but I briefly touch on a number of things like BASEL 3.

BASEL is a very understated organisation which controls the Central Banks and sets their regulations. In an attempt to try and mend the world, they've released a new act which now makes Gold a 1st Tier asset as opposed to 3rd tier. This now means that Banks can lend off Gold at 100% of its value instead of 50% and Gold is now classed as good as cash and Government/Treasury bonds. As well as this, they've increased the capital ratio from 4%-6%, so this means that from 1 Jan 2013, Central Banks across the world will HAVE TO start acquiring and storing more PHYSICAL Gold. This is an immensely bullish sign for future Gold prices. Will this result in a spiking of Gold's price in the New Year? Only time will tell...

The Silver Market is manipulated

Don't trade it, buy it...
