    You ain’t seen a fever until you’ve seen a gold fever? Buy! Buy! Buy! The 1970s all over again. This will be the summer of gold!

    This thing won’t just continue Al, at least from Albert Edwards of Societ Generale’s perspective on Kitco, who says gold prices will top $10k with the stock market tanking and Treasury yields going to 1%. All we need now is for Trader Rog to affirm!
    Quoting the late Margaret Thatcher ref consensus she said ‘the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies in search of something in which no-one believes, but to which no-oe ojects’ is surely never so apt as when applied to QE.

      Apr 26, 2013 26:14 AM

      However when asked what did he think of $10k gold Peter Hug on Kitco said ‘I don’t’.

    silver up big today……..$1.05……but, it should be, because the ratio of silver to gold,is way out of line…..60 to 1……….should be …54 to 1…..but, that is even out of line..Silver is a better buy ,,,,,Irish has his pickup truck ,backed up,,and loading up…….

      Apr 25, 2013 25:58 PM

      Hey, guys, one day at a time. We will see…..but, I did say (check the record :)) that I had a strange feeling that this summer might not be a “sell in May and go away” summer this time. What I do know is…I dont know…but, it would somethin sweet though. That is called a illiteration (sp) for lack of better terms….I think.

        Apr 25, 2013 25:15 PM

        The best thing to do is ……………? I am going to take the summer off…..the last time I took ten weeks off,was after I decided to reevaluate life…..and priorities…..This may be the year to do it again……….You know ,,,you only live once………..OOTB

          Apr 25, 2013 25:22 PM

          Jerry,

      Apr 26, 2013 26:43 AM

      Watch for another ugly gold decline early next week. Just saying. Best be prepared.

    Golden summer ahead!

      Apr 25, 2013 25:15 PM

      James, it could be one of those summers that you never forget………… DT

    One last thing…….I am trying just to keep an eye on the physical market. I really think that this strong evidence of massive physical buying shook up the major players on the manipulative paper comex. Do they want to just hand all the wealth over to anybody and everybody now??? My take is that they are really cornered, concerned and ready to “jump ship”. What else can they do? Knock the market down everytime it gathers momentum…they are in a CLASSIC “BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE”. This spectacular display of physical buying in April 2013 will be looked upon in the future when the ‘worm turned” and G/S started its accent to PROPER PRICE DISCOVERY.

    Apr 25, 2013 25:20 PM

    OOPS…sorry not done. Somebody is my reading today had a classic analogy. Look at the gold market as an ICEBERG. It is not the part of the iceberg that you can see visually above water that gets you (comex)….it is the stuff that you cant see visually of the ICEBERG that is the real story (physical buying)….. that wins out in the end and dooms any player not aware of it….SEE TITANIC…..we missed it! NOT.

      Apr 25, 2013 25:40 PM

      your best part will be when the sinking occurs….and the only life boat has a hole in the bottom………,but, even, the TITANIC found the bottom………and the riches were there for the taking ,,for a later generation…..ootb

    Apr 25, 2013 25:19 PM

    I can’t believe this; we’re two weeks away (Apr 15) from a recent bottom and now it’s “to the moon Alice”? Wasn’t yesterday “gloom despair and agony on me”?

    Come on people .. get those meds regulated.

        Apr 26, 2013 26:12 AM

        Good call, Irwin. Stay cautious. Gold is heading for another decline next week. I am going short today.

      Apr 25, 2013 25:55 PM

      Irwin,
      HA! Great line!!

        Apr 25, 2013 25:13 PM

        Oh darn; just got word from the tax office … I have to pay more. Not sure I can handle all this prosperity; a golden 2013 might do me in.
        Gloom, despair & agony is right!

          Apr 25, 2013 25:42 PM

          do not worry about the tax…..just file an extra …child care deduction….it seems to work for the illegals….why , not you………….ootb

    So when gold goes to 5K this summer, what are you going to do? No profits without selling. So you sell a little bit. What then are you going to buy? Just trying to think ahead.

      Apr 26, 2013 26:36 AM

      Whisper it quietly Wayne, otherwise Silver Fox might get to hear!

    Apr 25, 2013 25:51 PM

    Well Wayne at 5k gold it might cost quadrupal for food and energy, maybe more, I just dont think there will be any problem finding somthing to spend it on.
    Gold is insurance, if the house burned down and the insurance paid off, what ya gonna buy? Sorta the same thing.

    Apr 25, 2013 25:54 PM

    On the other hand if silver went from 20 to 200 and gold stayed where it is,
    not like that would happen, but if it did, thats winning the lotto.

      Apr 25, 2013 25:23 PM

      You can buy Gold at under $500/ounce and not be streaming company.
      Buy silver at a 60 plus ag/au ratio.
      When ratio compresses 20 trade your silver for gold.

    Apr 25, 2013 25:40 PM

    Got my 20oz (4*5oz) silver from Mocatta right away no shortage there.

      Apr 26, 2013 26:09 AM

      what sort of premium did they charge?

    Apr 25, 2013 25:06 PM

    I havnt seen any shortage, but if these rumors of Russian,Japanese,Indian and Chinese line ups are true, then it shouldnt be too long and all the physical gets bought up and it skyrockets, And with zero available, the prices should go alot higher than old highs. If it doesnt and we get into doldrums, well, its nice to have insurance.

    Apr 25, 2013 25:56 PM

    And maybe then metals stocks will go mainstream

    Apr 25, 2013 25:59 PM

    What about the big picture, is JPMorgan going to go away, like the shark he is, or is he coming in for seconds, thirds, so on & so forth. It does seem to be they can go where they want to go, when they want & not anybody can or will stop them from dumping more paper gold/silver on this market. Turning it upside down & inside out. Or perhaps JPMorgan just think so, just let them put enough rope out there to hang themselves is what the justice department wants them to think ? We could be so lucky, the gold/silver bugs. Like last week to 10 days ago, it was the battle of the bulge for the screaming eagles(gold bugs), the siege of Bastogne all over again except it was the gold/silver market that was getting crushed. JPMorgan was trying to keep people from finding out what was happening, their futures contracts were coming due for payment, but what to do, there was a short fall for the `physical` gold/silver that was due for those contracts, so they dumped X amounts of tons of paper gold/silver on the market to drop the price and then try to sell the story to their investors that it would be good for them to accept paper cash instead of the physical as payment. ——– When will there be a split between the physical from the paper market. Or it will just happen again and again, etc.,……Just another RANT of what if`s…..

    Apr 25, 2013 25:30 PM

    Another thought, I talked to this refinier, if they had a problem with inventory, they said no. But they weren`t into the market that way, ie., except for their customers only. If I want to be paid in a wire transfer, poll account, metal bars, coins credit swiss, johnson-matthey. or just a check. Perhaps having stock in a producing mining company could be an answer to having them extend them(their shareholders)to their refining company to get access to the physical gold/silver. Just a thought.

    http://explosivereports.com/2013/01/28/house-of-rothschild-hoarding-gold-in-face-of-coming-collapse/ just see what the other big guy is doing, instead of trying to see where the heard of cattle are going. These big too big too fail, are seeing that their bubble is about to pop.

    Apr 26, 2013 26:22 AM

    What If, the gold stocks don’t take off until after the POG goes parabolic and then drops like the last time 30 years or so ago, maybe it might be better to accumulate physical sell at as close to the top as possible, and then buy into your favorite gold equities. DT

    Apr 26, 2013 26:06 AM

    No shortage at all for gold as of Thursday. Fridays price action is troublesome.ci was hoping for one more thrust into $1480 but we are falling back. Hope to see a good end to the week to keep the momentum going…

    Apr 26, 2013 26:09 AM

    In India they are already refraining from purchases. They love gold but they simply won’t pay over a certain price for it. Supply is returning. Premiums are coming down. Trouble…

      Yes those were the good old days–when all it took was a bouquet of freshly picked wild flowers. Back then, it was the thought that counted most. Now you gotta mine um, dine um and shine um–especially if your married; which might explain why there’s so many grumpy old men out there.

    When large dealers’ bid prices (in relation to spot) are higher than their sale prices premiums were just a couple months ago it is telling.

    Apr 26, 2013 26:22 AM

    It’s all gold now! Super strong! The weak hands are out. The late comers have been flushed out. The takedown was short lived and ineffective. Actually it was effective – it backfired in their faces! Gold fever is here!

    Apr 26, 2013 26:40 AM

    Well done,Rick! In at 1427 and now it’s 1479. Pretty excellent for a 2 day move.
    Have you taken profits yet? Or holding on for more?

    Apr 26, 2013 26:44 AM

    I sold my materils 2x etf yesterday after some huge gains from Monday as gold looks like it has topped and will drag all the materials stocks down and it looks that way today. Sell signal yesterday for UYM. Bought back into Cisco on today’s dip as there is a buy signal.
