Precious
metal bulls with strong stomachs for wild market swings should NOT be concerned; these swings are
intentional for Bullion Banks to make the most profit! Just think for a minute, if you had the
influence to depress a commodity ‘at will’ and then inflate those prices when
you saw fit, when would you do most of your buying and selling of that
commodity? This is called market manipulation.
Silver
has fallen from a $50 high in 2011, to an astonishing low of less than $17 O/z,
in a market where demand has been continuously rising for the past 10 years
culminating in a record 250 Million Oz (Moz) in 2012. You don’t have to be John Maynard Keynes to understand the
rules for supply and demand; (but just in case you didn’t know) when demand
shifts higher, price is higher, when demand is low, prices are low, illustrated
beautifully in this ‘Supply and Demand Curve Chart’.
But
why should I invest in Gold & Silver?
Recent
Silver price falls are being monitored daily, and analysts have had a fair idea
of these lows for some time; Silver right now is sitting on a strong ‘Fibonacci
Support’ level (technical term used by technical traders). Interestingly, this is the same level
that Silver was at immediately prior to its 300% rally up to $50!
In
an extract from www.arabianmoney.com
(and they know) ‘Those with an eye for
the next big speculation will undoubtedly now be looking at Silver…. There are
other reasons to believe in Gold as a safe haven asset in another major global
financial crisis led this time by China and Japan. Silver is always leveraged to the Gold price so speculators
might want to get in now rather than wait for the storm… why would [wait] any
longer to make the shift to Silver?
When it goes public, the
price goes parabolic!
Regular
readers to Mokarimakka know all to well that I have said once this information
becomes generally accepted by the public, demand will outstrip supply multiple
times over. My assertion has not
changed; indeed there is further
evidence that supports my previous posts that the general public are being ever
more exposed to an alternative commodity for which to invest their currency and
protect their wealth.
The
Royal Mint is now selling Bullion Gold direct to the public, a massive shift in
its modus operandi.
Although this article is written by a short sighted pessimist, (who uses
an example of if you invested £10’000 in 2011, then you would only have £6’440
left today, as his case study) I would like to offer an alternate example using
the same data sample chosen by this journalist and say, ‘with more credibility’ -
If you invested £10’000 at the beginning of the market crash…. (Which is
precisely when you would choose to invest in metals, and not during a market
recovery, simpleton!) based on actual exchange
GBP/USD exchange rate – 1.9
£10’000 = $19’000
= 27.14 Oz of Gold
At the highs of 2011 that our Daily Mail journalist uses your original
£10’000 would be worth : c£31’265 not
bad! (Gold price £1152 or $1883)
And just as a belt and braces approach, what would that be worth today?
GBP/USD exchange rate – 1.6
£10’000 = $16’000
Your original £10’000 would be worth : c£20’355 still not bad! (Gold price £750 or $1200)
I will not embarrass any retail bank and ask them what amount of
interest would have been generated over the same period if a customer invested
£10’000, ill allow all of my readers to make that calculation themselves.
So thanks daily mail journalist, and please don’t bother in future!
Investors, precious metal is a long term investment, don’t be influenced
by short term swings, pick your moments for entry and exit.
It wasn’t raining when Noah build the Ark.
