However, eagles are fairly plentiful. When you see the eagle buyback at a high percentage above spot, only then can you believe there is sizable tightness.

A note on the perceived tightness in the physical market. There is some. For example, cull morgans are selling for 56% over spot. Eagle are selling for 25% over spot. However, the buyback of eagles is only 3% over […]

Well, be that as it may; the bigger point of my criticism is even more poignant to that end.  The exception begets the rule. The stories here get more contrived with each passing day. And I could probably site the […]

Yes, I concur. Less sensationalizing. Report the news, don’t make it.

Well, I can’t speak to whether on not one would get away with it, but it has been revealed that the Fed did slight the Germans on their gold in the 70′s. In their archives they said they would make them whole. I […]

Problem with not revealing your actual holdings (China), or even lying to the contrary, is when the time comes when you wish to step up and take over the role of reserve currency, backed in part by precisely these […]

Not to be a stickler here, but the opening math is a little off. The number 16,000,000 oz is correct, but for all the wrong reasons. The author speaks of 500 tons and not 500 metric tonnes. He states that there […]

@jiggysmb.
Certainly not trying to have a pissing contest, as I welcome the info, but on a cursory perusing of the mines you mention;
Mag Silver’s claim of profitability at 10/oz was, by their claim, referring to […]

@ jiggysbm, many claims. Can you reveal for us which miner said they would still be profitable at 10/oz. Not asking for alot here. Not asking for you to substantiate all of your claims, just the name of the […]

Well, I don’t know how much fact is in this story… But History has certainly shown that a SDB is less than optimum to protect one from gold confiscation.
Back before I lost my stack in that unfortunate boating […]

Wow, that was long. Good read thou. I must say, I only checked out two of the many links provided. But I am inclined to give them a pass as a whole, for he really seemed to do his homework.
There were many […]

I find it rather odd:
He states in his argument there is no “data for the reason”; i.e., the data (his graphs) don’t support the conspiracy of manipulation (the reason).
Then when asked why the drops in gold and […]

On their site they show a fake Krugerrand. They don’t give any details, but its not just a round. Rounds can be faked just like name brand bars can because no one knows the size dimensions. If you only go by […]

Huh, like what happened to my previous post?
 

I tend to think there will be no QE3 announcement tomorrow either. As a result G&S will go down, but so will the market.
