WEEKLY
GOLD AND SILVER UPDATE
Jim
Sinclair warns "This is it!"
The
financial system is broken and all that can be done by the US Federal
Reserve and the US Treasury is monetize all major financial entities.
The reason that all this has happened is the $1.114 QUADRILLION dollar
mountain of crap paper consisting of unfunded, unlisted, unregulated and
non-transparent financial specific performance contracts called OTC
derivatives.
Those that create and peddle OTC derivatives are guilty of financial
murder one.
I cannot imagine you reading the information above and failing to
protect yourself, but knowing mankind, I doubt many did.
You should hold no dollars except what is required to pay bills for six
months. You know now that FDIC is grossly under-financed compared to
potential claims. Get all your money out of financial entities now
before you have to stand in line to get it. Screw interest rates.
Keep six months of cash in your safety deposit box, invest the balance in
short term treasuries of other currencies.
- You
should put a minimum 1/3 of your LIQUID net worth in gold and gold
equivalents.
- You
surely know by now that SIPC is grossly under-financed when it comes
to covering potential claims. The secondary insurance held by brokers
is written to them for you, but not for you.
Please distance yourself and your
assets from financial agents.
You must own gold and gold equivalents.
Gold is headed to a minimum of $1650, a number that now looks quite low.
Gold is a currency. Do not forget that.
The US Budget Deficit is going ballistic. The US dollar will trade
at .5200. The Euro will trade at $2. The collapse of banks is
far from over. Default derivatives will fail to function when called
upon to function in any significant amount. Many major companies
will fade away due to hidden OTC derivatives.
Pakistan will take crude up $100 from the point it is trading at now when
the event occurs.
Monetization of all primary dealers of US Treasuries and all major
manufacturers of OTC derivatives will be bailed out.
If you delay or do not act by doing the above simple and easy steps you
will be financially finished. Mark my words. Those of you out
there who freeze up make yourself targets.
The wave of phone calls from all over the world overwhelmed me once again
today.
Here are your answers:
- As
gold rose and the dollar slipped once again into the .7200 area a poor
picture was being painted as legislative action neared for Fanny and
Freddie.
- It
seems that the key panic point is .7200 on the USDX.
- The
Fed's perma-hawk spoke loudly about what will not happen - Fed
increases of the discount rate.
- Crude
came down today, blamed on the apparent hurricane fear fading. Major
support starts at $125, and if that is not the bottom it will not be
far below.
- All
the dollar bulls and energy bears were pulled out of the closet as
talking heads.
- Fancy
accounting footwork is the entire reason why some bank earnings look
better. They are not. In fact many of the best looking ones are the
worst off.
- $25
billion for Fanny and Freddie will not cover a $5 trillion problem. It
isn't even worth being called a bandage.
After
all the substance-less noise used to paint the day better passes, we
return to face the 3rd attempt at $1000 and the euro moving past $1.60.
Gold is headed to $1650 and the euro to $2. That is only for starters.
Respectfully yours,
Jim
Watch
the dollar closely. It is the weak
Richard
Russell wrote, I said it
three years ago, I said it two years ago, I said it a year ago, I
said it six months ago, and I'll say it again today. The
Achilles Heel of the United States is the dollar. The
reserve status of the US dollar is absolutely critical to the
health of the US. If the dollar begins to lose its reserve
status, the US economy will be in shambles.
Gold is now on the move.
It's taking more and more dollars to buy an ounce of real money --
gold. This is the market's way of saying that it trusts the
value of the dollar less and less. You may like gold as I
do, but the rising trend of gold is a red flag for the health of
the United States. The rising dollar price of gold is
telling us that both the US economy and the dollar are in trouble.
The US is the only nation in
the world that can print the currency that its own debt is
denominated in. That's an unbelievable "gift." But
the US has been doing too damn much printing and too much debt
creating. The world recognizes this, and it's systematically
moving away from dollars. Nations are now creating Sovereign
Wealth Funds that buy tangibles while at the same time they're
getting rid of unwanted dollars.
Right now almost everything
from stocks to the Dow to homes to food is losing value relative
to gold. I tell you it's ominous. And it's all the
more ominous because 95% of analysts and economists don't
recognize or understand what's going on. They're ignorant of
the message that rising gold is sending us, and worse -- their
ignorant of the very meaning of gold.

Gold
is about to launch an assault on $1030
Russell said, Gold
will probably have to back off maybe to 925 to 950 before pushing
higher. The obvious upside target is the preceding all-time
high at 1030. I have to wonder what would or will happen if
gold can better its previous record high at the 1030 box. It
could be quite a show.
It will take huge government
spending along with massive deficits to get the US economy rolling
again. When I say massive I'm thinking of a deficit of maybe a
trillion dollars. There's no painless or pleasant way of dealing
with the mess that the US is now in. The worst outcome would be
chronic deflation, although many believe it would be
hyper-inflation.
Actually, the way things are
going, I'm not sure that deflation won't be thrust upon us whether
we like it or not. Deflation would be a result of too much
world production and too much leveraged debt.
