Hey Doc,Just saying thanks for the new site. I’ve been following you for awhile now…maybe 2 years. I’m catching some lag here but I’m sure it’ll wash out as you catch bugs/glitches. I decided to sign up today to log in for big race on the Phyzz Stack Leaderboard.Nothing Personal….I bought a small stack of phys this weekend. Bought at local shop, Haven’t been able to find much my way as far as locals go, He only had it because an elderly woman had dropped off a couple hundred rounds to pay for medical bills.Best of Health and Wealth,Thanks Again!Silverbugism

We apologize for the testing comments throughout the website today.  Our technology team has been working hard to fix a login issue late last night and is currently working to fix a known issue with users not being able to comment in the forum, but able to comment in the main page section.  They have also been trying to resolve registration confirmation email issues and pics/videos not showing up correctly in the posting section.

We appreciate all SD readers who have sent us emails to silverdoctors@gmail.com informing us of the errors they are experiencing.  Please do not hesitate to send an email directly to us.  I can be reached at bullrunsilver@gmail.com (technical website issues or specific SD Bullion inquiries) or silverdoctors@gmail.com (The Doc and my dual monitored email inbox).

Thank you for your patience in getting these issues resolved.  I think all of us would agree this is a huge improvement from the blogger website, but we will continue to iron out the issues and progress towards the goal of delivering the premier silver blog on the world wide web.  We thank are readers for making this possible, as this would not be possible without you. SD only exists because there is a collection of some of the brightest minds on the planet converging onto this site with the goal of educating and informing others of the world we live in.  Thank you again for your support.

Greetings Doc,

Over the last week there have been a number of stories discussing the pending launch of new gold ETFs in China.  This follows the launch of the first yuan-denominated gold ETF launched in Hong Kong earlier this year.

A healthy level of skepticism is warranted.  It’s fair to say the launch of SLV and GLD in the United States did lead to an initial increase in bullion demand on account of the need to develop the funds and make them look legitimate.  Today, however, many investors in the precious metals community believe these US ETFs are periodically dis-horded and/or used in rehypothecation and inventory management shenanigans by cartel interests set on managing precious metals prices.  Certainly, such practices are not explicitly ruled out by the funds’ prospectuses, and the nature of “bullion” in true allocated storage is obfuscated by the language employed by the prospectuses.

Asians have traditionally held a high regard for true precious metals physical holdings.  It remains to be seen if these ETFs catch on and if they also become tools to create unallocated paper precious metals supply, diverting market demand away from honestly scares physical metal.  Time will tell.

Some of the source stories can be read at the following links:

Doc! I’ve been buying copper for a while now. This story will have some relevance down the line. Especially after Warren Buffet purchased Southern Copper last year.

People are willing to steal it and sell it. Even risk their lives getting fried for it. Something to think about
