Connivers Figuring To Cheat (CFTC) & What Will They Say When Silver Runs Out

September 28, 2013

CFTC chief Gary Gensler, Goldman Sachs alumnus, seems to be saying, “Hey! Silver longs and mining shareholders! I picked up a line from “The Big Valley” TV series, October 31, 1966 episode, “Target.” I use the line at all CFTC meetings on silver prices---“I say, we kill him right now!”

Is mainstream media guilty of professional malpractice?

September 28, 2013

One person’s view on how and why the mainstream media have served as an accomplice to precious metals manipulation. Author’s note: Instead of being a column, this effort ended up being more like a chapter in a book. Still, I hope those with a deep interest in this topic (like myself) find it worthy of their time.

CFTC can't stop market rigging when U.S. government does it -- it's the law

September 25, 2013

Today's dismissal by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission of complaints about manipulation of the silver market leaves plenty of room for a conclusion opposite from the one that news reports will publicize -- that there's no evidence of manipulation.

Can Silver and Palladium Tell Us More About the Outlook for Gold?

September 25, 2013

Summing up, the recent upward move in both metals was not as bullish as it seemed at first sight and the breakdown in palladium was not invalidated. The implications are still bearish and the bearish case for gold that we made in our previous essay seems to be confirmed by what we see in the silver and palladium markets. At the same time please keep in mind that the analogy to the 2008 decline is still in place and a small move higher should not surprise us (such as the one that we are seeing…

We shouldn’t hold our breath waiting for government agencies to end manipulation

September 24, 2013

It’s impossible to believe that regulators, prosecutors and others charged with enforcing commodity laws and regulations are unaware of charges of manipulation. Volumes of articles have been published on the topic. Organizations such as GATA exist solely to document these charges (and forward summaries to said regulators).

Silver – Not Ready For Prime Time.

September 22, 2013

There are two distinct advantages derived from reading charts. They are all based on factual information, in the form of executed trades, and they are a short-cut for reading about all the exogenous factors, [mostly fundamental], that impact the market.

September 20, 2013

In my last column, I attempted to defend my “assumption” that “manipulation is here to stay.” Today, my charge is to present several scenarios that would/could end the manipulation of precious metals.

Silver Market Update

September 19, 2013

Silver’s major reversal pattern, which, like gold’s, is a Head-and-Shoulders bottom, is different to gold’s in the detail that it is flat-topped – the “neckline” or top boundary of the pattern is a horizontal band of resistance. Otherwise they are broadly similar in meaning, which is hardly surprising as gold and silver are “joined at the hip”, the big difference from an investor’s point of view being that silver is a leveraged play on a gold move.
