T. FERGUSON: MORE ON THE GERMAN GOLD REPATRIATION SCHEME

This story gets more fantastic by the day. Just like The Jelly of The Month Club, I suspect that it will be “the gift that keeps on giving the whole year” in 2014.
So now we’re told that Germany actually repatriated 37 metric tonnes of gold in 2013, or about 5% of the total 700 ton repatriation plan announced about a year ago.
Of this 37 tonnes, 32 were shipped the 500km from Paris to Frankfurt while a whopping 5 metric tonnes made it across the Atlantic from New York.

We are then told by the various central bankers that the reason for the paltry and delayed shipments are “logistical” in nature, due to the “challenges” of moving so much gold. Really? Seriously??

To that end, I thought I’d include here this latest video from Dan Ameduri. In this piece, Dan interviews Brien Lundin who, among other things, is the founder of the New Orleans Investment Conference. The NOIC is usually the biggest “natural resource” conference of the year so Brien clearly knows a little bit about the metals. You should watch the entire thing but you may find most interesting some of the stuff that is mentioned regarding the German Gold Scheme.
