Bullion Alert

January 28, 2016 Leave a comment

More than the bond market, we are likely to have a crisis in the gold and silver market.

Update the information in the video with this information :Link.

History tells us that every fractional banking system throughout the ages has collapsed under the weight of far too many liabilities piled on top of too few assets to back those liabilities. This one eventually will collapse as well.

Going by what happened to the Hunt Brothers, the US government will step in to ward off by any means, any speculator taking on the Comex.So even while playing this bet will take less than 2% the size of the bet made by Soros against the British monetary system, we’ll have to wait for an entity not under Uncle Sam’s control to lay this bet.

Interesting Article By Hugo Salinas Price

wealthymatters I’d be surprised if such profound changes came about quickly and without war. But even a fraction of this coming true, will help gold owning Indians. And the government won’t have to go to the trouble of gold monetization schemes to get gold to be put to productive use.Of course, equally possible in such a case would be gold seizures.

Gold Play

November 24, 2015 2 Comments

A few years ago there was no person selling financial products that didn’t have a good word to say about gold, even if it was just paper gold.

And these day’s when gold prices are down, there’s a lot of people talking about the non interest bearing nature of gold and the hassles of gold ownership. “Monetizing ” gold is the new buzz-word.

But round the world, central banks are involved in an interesting gold play. I’m not sure its check-mate as yet .But where all these guys prefer physical gold, I’m not persuaded that letting go of our small stashes is such a great idea. Enjoy the very interesting article below:

Grandmaster Putin’s Trap: Russia is Selling Oil and Gas in Exchange for Physical Gold
-Dmitry Kalinichenko

Accusations of the West towards Putin are traditionally based on the fact that he worked in the KGB. And therefore he is a cruel and immoral person. Putin is blamed for everything. But nobody ever accused Putin of the lack of intelligence.Any accusations against this man only emphasize his ability for quick analytical thinking and making clear and balanced political and economic decisions.

Location Swap

July 2, 2014 Leave a comment

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has sounded out large lenders and international bullion banks to strike `location swap’ deals to swap some of the old gold lying in RBI’s Nagpur vault since pre-Independence times -and whose quality is not exactly top grade -with purer gold.The move would ease the supply of gold, even if temporarily, in the local market where duty barriers have given rise to smuggling.This is the first time RBI will carry out such swaps. Better known as loco swaps in the global bullion market, it’s a mechanism whereby gold in one location is ‘swapped’, or exchanged, for gold in another location without physically shipping the yellow metal.

Here’s how the proposed swap scheme between RBI and banks would work: RBI will give delivery of gold from its Nagpur vault to banks in India while taking delivery of gold from banks in London.But the gold that RBI would give to banks in India could be of a slightly inferior quality compared with the ‘London deliverable’ purer gold that it would receive from banks in London. The banks will deposit the gold in London in RBI’s account with Bank of England. Read more of this post

The Gold Tax

wealthymatters.com The following is the work of Ila Patnaik,a professor at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy, Delhi.It was published in today’s Indian Express.

These days it is fashionable to talk about how gold is draining away India’s precious forex,how gold is the refuge of black money and how opting for gold is somewhat anti-social and unpatriotic.I decided to post this article here to remind people of how gold has long been a good friend of Indians of all classes and especially of Indian women.Gold has been around a lot longer than the subject of economics and economists.Economic fads come and go but gold worked for our grandparents and will not fail us.Keep your gold.Hold it as bullion or high karat jewellery and keep it safe and do not be tempted,pursuaded or coerced to exchanging it for paper of any sort whether currency notes or gold deposit/accumulation schemes,ETFs,certificates or dematerialized units.

Having said my piece I will now leave you to get on with reading the article below

With increased import duties on gold, we return to pre-liberalisation thinking

The inflation crisis of the last six years, coupled with a persistent lack of financial inclusion alongside a decade of high GDP growth, has given an upsurge in demand for gold. The increase in custom duty on gold proposed by the Union budget, and the reduction in the loan-to-value ratio of gold loans by the RBI, will hurt the poor. Read more of this post
