Building the Foundations of a Leading Silver Miner
Harvey Organ joins the show this week for an EXPLOSIVE and MUST LISTEN Metals & Markets discussing:
“The fun starts when the run on COMEX begins- $1.4 quadrillion in derivatives will burst in 2014 in a full-blown implosion! -H.O.
Harvey isn’t pulling any punches. He believes the powers that be are going to have a hard time continuing to keep a lid on the paper markets throughout this year. Given continuing strong demand for physical precious metals, he believes an inability to meet demand and “default” will manifest in the physical market. This will in turn force cash settlement on the Comex.
Of course, timing is always tricky and the cartel has certainly demonstrated resourcefulness and the ability to take evasive action. But given that Indian gold demand will be ramping back up and the fact that exchange traded fund vaults and other sources of metal have already been raided, a repeat performance on the magnitude of the 2013 smack-down is highly unlikely, if not outright impossible. Thus, the trading ranges gold and silver labor under will continue until such time as pressure in the physical market becomes too great. There are a handful of scenarios the endgame can transverse, and we speak to some of these during the show.
We recorded this show Thursday evening. While we don’t have the benefit of Friday’s trading action, odds are the week will close with the same capped trading range enforced. But unlike a traditional slow summer period for precious metals, I continue to believe we’re going to blast to the upside at some point during the summer.
Ironically enough, even with Fed minutes released this week that hinted at a more hawkish tone on the timing of interest rate normalization (stop laughing!), the typical smash that sort of news normally would inspire went missing in action. Sure, the cartel monkeys were unleashed once gold crossed $1,300 and silver threatened to cross $20. But traction to the downside has once again proven very difficult for the cartel to generate. Relative resilience in the face of a Fed minutes release week is a healthy sign.
