The smart money is quietly buying more gold

By Richard Dyson: Five or six years ago, few private investors were very concerned about the price of gold. Then came the financial crisis. When major banks were failing, a sense of apocalypse focused investors' minds on the value of physical assets as never before.

But other factors were at work. The evolution of new investment vehicles and trading platforms suddenly made it easy for private investors to buy small parcels of real gold. With "physical gold" exchange-traded funds, for instance, investors buy shares quoted on the London Stock Exchange, where each share is backed by solid gold stored in a Docklands bank vault. You could buy and sell gold as easily as you could blue-chip shares.

As the crisis rumbled on, increasing numbers of private investors used these ETFs to speculate, or as part of their planned portfolios, so that from owning about 800 tons of gold in 2007, total ETFs owned almost 3,000 tons by 2012. The gains enjoyed by the investors during that period were terrific, sucking in yet more money, stimulating further appetite, and so on.

Now the gold price is in reverse and ETF investors are selling their holdings fast.

"The next stage in the rolling crisis ...sovereign defaults!"

Marc Faber: ...the Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world, they think they can essentially steer economic activity by printing money.  This money printing has a number of unintended consequences that will eventually be very costly. 

It’s not the first time the Fed has intervened.  They intervened after the S&L crisis, after the Tequila crisis, after LTCM in 1998, and then after (the year) 2000 when the Nasdaq collapsed.  They kept interest rates artificially low which led to a credit bubble, the housing boom and subsequent collapse. 

You can postpone the problems by printing money, but then the problem comes back to an even larger extent.”

China Radio: "The U.S. And Europe Have Always Suppressed The Rising Price Of Gold"

Submitted by Tyler Durden: Sometimes, such as after pervasive liquidations in precious metals (or is that AAPL? Has it become clear yet that with widespread "quality" collateral shortages, gold and AAPL stock have become unexpected and almost interchangeable collateral replacements) it is easy to lose sight of the forest for the trees. A forest, in which the New York Fed is procuring (through the open market) the rehypothecated gold that the Bundesbank demanded for repatriation in January; in which JPMorgan's gold holdings have plunged by 75% since said stunning Bundesbank announcement and hit new record lows on a weekly basis paradoxically just as the price of spot gold keeps sliding ever lower; and in which China is importing unprecedented amounts of gold and adding more and more each month.

STOKE POGES – its role in the global morality meltdown

The good news from Stoke Poges: the local Conservative Party is globally on message – and obviously offside

Grieving for democracy

The Slog: I have been sent a hilarious trail of email correspondence ‘c0mmenting’ on a recent Slogpost about Michael Gove’s ‘Open 10,000 academies, win a Home in Downing Street’ project, and its deep attachment to the Camerlot principles of local democracy, green belts, cultural integration and so forth. I’ll take you through the highlights in a few paragraphs time, but in the meantime I thought some global context might serve to highlight the irony of the pathetic attempt at a defence by the local Conservatives in Stoke Poges.

"Israel Rules The US!" Report unveils Israel-Argentina secret nuclear deal

UK BANNED Press TV: If you would get to know that Israel launched a secret plan to develop nuclear weapons under the strict protection of the United States, shouldn't you wonder why Washington then pressures countries like Iran that has continuously worked to demonstrate the peaceful nature of its nuclear energy program? What if you learn Tel Aviv got the uranium from Argentina which has moved towards a new stance in relations with Tehran? Source
