Review of the Paper Futures Implications of the HSBC Gold/Silver Lawsuit


 2012 Fiji LIMITED 8,888 Dragon with Real Pearl 1oz 999 Fine Silver Bullion Coin

紙金紙銀的風險, 就算你想收取實貨, 原來批貨已俾人當衍生工具賣咗出去 !依家就打緊官司, 睇貨屬誰?

With gold and silver paper futures being smashed this morning, we thought it would be a good time to remind readers of the possible paper futures dumping that The Doc predicted this past Sunday as a result of the HSBC lawsuit over gold/silver rehypothecation. Along with liquidity fears over Europe, this likely could be a large part of the current paper rout.

With less than an hour until gold and silver trading opens on the Globex, we will soon find out what, if any, HSBC's lawsuit against the MF Global trustee and Jason Fine has on gold and silver futures prices.

For those who missed it, Jason Fine, an MF Global client, demanded delivery for 5 gold contracts (500 ounces) and 3 silver contracts (15,000 ounces) from HSBC, the custodian of the metal. Fine had used the warehouse receipts of his PHYSICAL METAL on deposit at HSBC as collateral for his account at MF Global. MF Global's liquidation trustee James Giddens (i.e. Jamie Dimon) said WHOA THERE PARDNER!, NO CAN DO! MF Global rehypothecated your gold and silver collateral when it purchased CDS contracts from us, so we'll be taking the delivery of said gold and silver thanks to our SENIOR creditor status. HSBC subsequently filed suit Friday against both Jason Fine and the MFG trustee, in effect to allow a judge decide who gets the phyzz.

This weekend has seen rampant speculation that the markets will open with a collapse in GLD, and a spike in gold and silver, as all the paper holders rush to get out of paper gold and into phyzz.
Personally, The Doc disagrees.

From how I understand it, the lawsuit doesn't mean anything- yet. The real fireworks should come when the judge decides whether the phyzz belongs to the actual holder of the futures contracts, or the counter-party of the CDS contracts purchased with Fine's rehypothecated collateral by MFG.
This could play out in 3 ways:

1. Judge orders Phyzz liquidated for cash, and all parties receive a haircut and a portion of the assets. This is most likely in The Doc's opinion- and at this point, holders of futures contracts may well panic and dump futures positions for phyzz, causing a collapse in COMEX futures prices of phyzz, with a corresponding evaporation of physical inventory as the physical metal becomes unavailable.

2. Judge rules in favor of Jason Fine, and all phyzz is delivered to the rightful owner. JP Morgan instantly panics, crashes paper futures prices, and scoops up all available phyzz. Least likely outcome in my mind.

3. Judge rules in favor of MFG Trusee James Giddens (i.e. Jamie Dimon, Blythe Masters, and The Morgue). Jason Fine told to F*** off, you are an unsecured creditor as JP Morgan holds senior status to your rehypothecated collateral/ assets. For aftermath, see No. 1 only magnified 100 fold. Futures traders instantly lose all confidence in the system, and the COMEX implodes not from a delivery default, but from a loss of confidence among futures traders.

I may be wrong, but I don't see an outcome to this that results in PAPER gold and silver prices rocketing. All three possible outcomes seem to mean major sell-offs in the PAPER futures markets, while at the same time, physical inventory dries up and becomes unavailable. Again, it appears to me that this is more likely to happen when the judge makes a ruling in the case, rather than imminently on the announcement of the lawsuit. I could be wrong, as should a futures trader similarly think through the likely possible outcomes of this HSBC suit, the smart ones will get out now and not wait for a verdict. We'll see whether the speculative futures traders panic now, or wait for the handwriting on the wall before they panic and attempt to get out. My money is they'll wait for the handwriting on the wall, Belshazzar style, when it's too late to get out!

If Silver Goes Down All Hell Will Break Loose In The Physical Market: Silver Investment Update

There simply isn't enough physical silver to deal with the demand of a fiat currency crisis. As the paper silver market pushes prices down, all hell will break loose in the physical market.

Silver And Gold Market Price Forecast: Buying Silver Is Like Buying Gold At $554 Today

Silver and Gold Market Price Forecast
I think that buying silver today is like buying gold for $554 an ounce. Let me explain: As I am writing, silver is currently trading at about 65.2% (32.6/50) of its 1980 high. If gold was trading at 65.2% of its 1980 high, it would be trading at $554 (0.652*850).

Now, I really like gold, even at today’s price of $1 738, but why should I pay $1 738, if I can get it for $554 by buying silver and then exchanging it for gold when the gold/silver ratio is at an extreme (in favour of silver). The reason for this logic comes from the fundamental relationship between gold and silver as explained in my previous article.

For my argument to be valid, silver has to outperform gold over my investment period, and at least equal gold’s performance relative to its 1980 high. That is, for example, if gold reaches five multiples of its 1980 high ($4250), then silver should do the same ($250), in this example, giving us a gold/silver ratio of 17.

Now, if silver outperforms gold, then that means that the gold/silver ratio should decline over my investment term. In my previous article called: Why Silver for a Monetary Collapse, I analysed the gold/silver ratio from a very long perspective (200 years). Here I would like to take a slightly more short-term view (40 years).

Below, is a long +/- 40 year chart of the gold/silver ratio:


On the chart, I have identified two fractals, which I have both marked with points 1 to 3. The two patterns are visually very similar. I have indicated two option of where we could be currently (on the current pattern), compared to the 70s pattern. The ratio appears to be at a major crossroads, ready to make a big move, up or down. This could mean that a massive move in the gold and silver price is due shortly.

Based on the patterns, if it moves up, it would likely signal the end of the precious metals bull market, similar to January 1980. A move down would be an acceleration of the current bull market in gold and silver, similar to August/September 1979.

The question is therefore: Do you think the bull market in precious metals is over? Before you answer that, first consider the following:



On the above graphic, the top chart is the current gold bull market from 1999 to date, compared to the bull market of the 60s and 70s, the bottom chart. The previous bull market in gold was about 14 years long, from a peak in the Dow/gold ratio to the bottom in Dow/gold ratio. The current bull market is 12 years, from the peak in the Dow/gold ratio to date.

The previous bull market ended with a parabolic move in gold (on the above scale). The current bull market has not made a parabolic move (on the above scale); in fact, it has been rising steadily over the last 12 years.

To me, these two charts suggest that we are more likely to have a parabolic rise in the gold price, than being at the end of this bull market. Therefore, it also suggests that price action for gold and silver, and the gold/silver ratio is likely to be more like 1978/1979 than like January 1980.

So, back to my argument of buying silver, in order to get gold at $554: I certainly think that silver will outperform gold over the remaining part of this bull market in precious metals, as well as, at least equal gold’s performance relative to its 1980 high. I can certainly see how gold could be at $4250 with silver being at $250, or at higher prices, with the gold/silver ratio being at 17 or less.

2012年1oz銀貓800萬枚 - from China News

    

      2012年1oz銀貓800萬枚的發行量是所有金銀幣投資收藏者始料未及的,大家被這突如其來的打擊震悶了。但其實也沒什麼可怕的。

      中國熊貓幣是實際五大投資幣之一,按其它國家發行慣例則應當按金銀價出售,但我們國家由於收藏者眾多,而熊貓幣發行量又少,致使很多熊貓在發行當年都有不少升幅,過幾年後升幅隨著消耗的加大則愈演愈烈,所以在我們國家用金銀價來買熊貓幣是奢想。

      而如今1OZ銀貓發行量已達800萬枚,它的發行價或市場成交價可能真的要按銀價計價了,這不是壞事,關鍵是我們不習慣。這麼大的量在市場上銷售也許很難,如果能利用銀行網點來銷售,那800萬的量就不算什麼了,要知道每年銀行賣掉的銀條有多少,可能比這個量還多很多很多,那800萬的量又算什麼?

      如果銀行同時有熊貓銀幣和銀條,大家在比較後也許更多地會選擇銀貓,這是好事,更多的人可以通過熊貓銀幣來認識金銀幣了。事實上金銀投資這個市場很大很大,但很多人被不良機構忽悠,將投資銀章、銀條、銀碗、銀筷等作為理財手段,沉浸在“贏利”的空頭許諾中。這個量是巨大的,不是幾個金銀幣市場規模能媲美的。如果這些投資者中的一部分轉而投資熊貓金銀幣,重而開始認識金銀幣,那這對於金銀幣的投資來說也許是福音。

      我們必須積極地看待發展中的問題或困難,800萬的量或許令金銀幣的發展面臨新的機遇,金銀幣的投資前景一定一片光明。

      熊貓金銀幣一直以來就是世界上5大金銀投資幣之一,只是以前因為國家沒有那麼多的金銀,​​因此發行量很少,才產生了收藏價值。現在央行正在把熊貓幣真正與國際接軌,將熊貓幣“恢復”到它本來應屬的地位。很多朋友到現在好像都還不知道這點。美國的老鷹金銀幣,每年發行近
千萬枚,是美國政府為大眾提供投資實物金銀的一種手段,就相當於你在買真金白銀。為什麼要印面值?因為面值是作為區分官方和民間鑄造的金銀章唯一標準。印了面值表示由美國政府擔保該金銀幣的成分足。熊貓幣也不例外,如果大家覺得800萬枚多,那你很快就會看到上千萬枚,上億枚。因為熊貓幣就是中國官​​方發行的金銀投資幣。不過,正因為這樣,2010年以前發行的所有熊貓幣由於發行量少,以及其介於投資幣和紀念幣的地位,將來一定會產生收藏價值,越早的不足幾萬枚的更是。所有熊貓加字幣才是真正意義的熊貓紀念幣,可惜濫發的太多了,商業味道太濃。

Robert Kiyosaki : I am a Silver bug

Sunday, November 27, 2011


Robert Kiyosaki : I’m a silver bug, so one year ago, I told my friends, this is when silver was $17.00, I said, “You better buy now, ‘cause you’re never gonna see it again.” So, $17.00 was the magic number to me. And so, they really missed it. Now, as far as above $50.00, I would say that’s probably a given and they don’t understand why they’re getting into this stuff. But, the reason they’re getting into it is because, like, our government’s ripping ‘em off, but they would rather have, you know, a government we trust. And, you know, what I’m sick of right now, personally, is I turn on Fox and I watch the news and all it is is these political shows talking as if these politicians, or whoever’s elected or not elected next year, is gonna make a difference. And they’re talking about taxing the rich. You know, what – that’s not gonna make any difference. And they keep talking about how these regulations impede entrepreneurs. Well, nothing impedes entrepreneurs. So, you know, really, what it is is the individual person really does have very little financial education. And so, right now, this market’s crushing ‘em and I’m afraid if they do nothing, they will be crushed. I have a lot of friends and family who are in very dire straits right now. And no matter how much I talk to them, you know, I say, “You should buy silver now. It’s your last chance”, they didn’t do anything and I think that’s the problem. - in Goldseek Radio
