  • Sinclair: Time for delivery

    Jim Sinclair: "Today it was confirmed to me, that the Canadian mint’s present problems are not unique and that other depositories (vaults) have had an army of auditors descend on them in the last two weeks. Some of these depositories have names so famous that it would scare the hell out of you....I suggest to you now that you take delivery of all gold held in vaults and depositories on your behalf, but this time even from the most prestigious."

    Holy alarm bells batman! But he's cried wolf so many times, I find it hard to believe him anymore.

    Canadian mint: We've lost track of $20,000,000 worth of gold , but don't worry.... *cough* "Your gold is safe with us ;)" *cough*

    In other (older April) news, ECB saves Deutch bank & Comex from default. :eek::confused: . This was based on part 1 of the original Seeking Alpha article, and part 2, which states:

    "When a willing regulator creates a situation like this [allowing illegal naked short selling] in the world of high finance, corruption and fraud will always follow. The allegations of conspiracy theorists take on new urgency, because they are likely to be correct, at least in part. If the gold really exists, let’s get to the bottom of it, and calm the fears of the market. If it doesn’t exist, commercial so-called “hedgers”, taking short positions in excess of the speculative limits, are committing fraud. "


    Is this going to turn out like the black swan that so many saw, but everyone else didn't believed was real? Or will co-operation between banksters and the various Western governments, with a lot of power & interest, protect COMEX from ever defaulting? Or..or... will Russia, China & Saudis force an eventual default through continuous large hedge purchases against their US dollar reserves? You know, slowly buy enough PM's while they are cheap, and overbuy a bit to offset the eventual US dollar dump. When the dump takes place, PM's surge and China,Russia,etc sell off their excessive build up to make-up most of the losses on the dollar dump. Tadaa!

      after 10 yrs stopped reading jim back when he 'went gerry c'* on me in march.

      sad, really.

      'going gerry c' = telling fox news...

      “It’s going to come as a shock and with it, there’s going to be a lot of crime. And the crime is going to be a lot worse than it was before because in the last 1929 Depression, people’s minds weren’t wrecked on all these modern drugs – over-the-counter drugs, or crystal meth or whatever it might be. So, you have a huge underclass of very desperate people with their minds chemically blown beyond anybody’s comprehension.”

      what, like gerry's?

        Sinclair said there was going to be FTD in December.

        Never happened.

            Agree...this Jim Sinclair sounds like a broken record.

              I think Sinclair is right on the money. The Royal Canadian Mint story is very compelling and he is not alone in saying that bullion storage facilities may not have everything they claim.

              The stories of Dubai and Germany requesting their gold reserves back from London and the US respectively are very interesting as well. My understanding is that it isn't going well.

              I would not dismiss Sinclair at all on these issues. With regards to whether or not a general revolt could occur among the public, to assume that it could not, is irresponsible in my opinion. If you have a family, I would certainly proceed with caution.

                All the Fed would have to do is raise the FFR to 4%, and the world would barf out all the gold at once.

                This conspiracy stuff isn't helpful.

                  If you think the Fed is raising rates to 4%, I have a bridge to sell you.

                  The Royal Canadian Mint is in fact missing gold, and it is now a criminal investigation, which part of this is not fact v. conspiracy theory?

                    Dear Tybee

                    I agree that this Canadian mint story can prove to be true.

                    But... even if the mint is missing all of the reported 20 million dollars (canadian or US?) this is not such a big case to start yelling the sky is falling.

                    Also all these rumors may results in taking confidence out of the gold market. Delivery and custody are expensive, so the little fishes like me need to trust a service for this. Who benefits of these rumors?

                      Why do you say delivery and custody are expensive? Relative to what? Are you buying contracts on the Comex?

                      "The sky is falling" I don't understand your comment. Why is it that you would place faith in these instituions without any personal ability to audit or visit the actual warehousing of their deposits on a regular basis?

                      Why do you think that every bank in the country places the vault door just behind the teller line in plain view of its depositors? To create the illusion of Confidence!

                      I have a very good friend who is a general contractor that his niche is bank buildings and bank renovations. The vault doors are all show. The back of the vaults are often thin and in some cases no more than dry wall over studs.

                      Have you ever seen how quickly these neighbor hood branches go up in strip shopping centers, or some cases a temporary building elevated on blocks?

                      In many cases the ceilings are not even covered, but you can't see them unless you were in the vault. Banks, actually carry very little cash on any given day. What is on hand is in the tellers' cash boxes. They get a cash delivery on an as needed basis by armored vehicle.

                      In fact, if you walk in asking to cash a check as small as $5,000, there is a very good chance they will have to call around to others branches to see who has enough cash on hand to cash the check. They will do everything in their power to persuade you to deposit it or open an account before relenting. This is Standard Operating Procedure.

                      If you can't hold it in your hands you don't own it.

                      I have a very good friend who lived just outside of New Orleans when Katrina hit. Guess what, the safety deposit boxes at his bank were completely flooded. He lost one of the most valuable antique currency collections in the world. The bank said, we only rent the boxes, we make no claim of safety or guarantee any contents.

                      I think that these folks prey on the little fishes and hope that the confidence game holds and hope you don't ask see the vault up close.

                      First become a skeptic, then buy a safe, preferably all in the same day.

                        Re: Sinclair: Time for delivery

                        Has Sinclair ever advised his readers not to buy gold and silver ?

                        Has Sinclair ever posted comments favourable to the US social and economic circumstances ?

                        If not then he missed the entire secular bull market of the 15/30 years, however phoney it might have been.

                          So far all it has had to do is hint that it might raise rates.

                          From an upcoming analysis, the Fed never raises rates until unemployment falls in recovery for 9 to 12 months. As unemployment is still rising, we expect to be in ZIRP land for a while. The Fed has to manage inflation expectations in other ways.

                            Best investment I ever made! (After gold, silver and guns, that is)

                            $1-3K investment in a safe is a great return on investment. Crap, I even get people asking ME, to hold their stuff FOR them. Maybe, I should become a bank holding company. (I don't do it of course, but several have asked, I tell them to go buy their own safe).

                              The other thing I decided when I bought my safe is to never tell anyone about it.
