Precious Metals Default Scenarios: read the full article @ http://www.BullionBullsCanada.com | Sponsored by: http://www.SilverGoldBull.com | http://bullionbullscanada.com/podcast/



For obvious reasons, there has been a great deal of discussion about actual, formal "defaults" in the gold and silver markets. Among those "obvious reasons" is that informal defaults are apparently already taking place in both markets.

Beginning in the London gold market over a year ago, and now rumored to be occurring in New York's "Comex" silver futures market, buyers who have legally contracted to take "physical delivery" of the metals they have purchased are said to be accepting large, paper bribes to accept a "cash settlement" instead.

OPEN LETTER TO THE CFTC

Commodities Futures Trading Commission

1155 21st St. NW Washington, DC 50581

Re: CFTC Delays 60-Day Notification To Assist Manipulators

Commissioners:

On January 13, 2011 the CFTC held a hearing on the Implementation of Position Limits for the Dodd-Frank Act that was mandated by the US Congress to be implemented on January 17, 2011. This meeting was a continuation of the same meeting held in December on the same topic. As of today, January 25, 2011, Position Limits have NOT been implemented and thus the CFTC is currently in violation of the laws of the United States Congress. The reasoning behind the current delay? "There must be a 60 day notice period"...

SO WHERE IS IT? WHERE IS THE 60 DAY NOTIFICATION ANNOUNCEMENT? WHY WON'T YOU START THE CLOCK TICKING EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW?

One to warm the hearts of precious metals bulls, and especially silver bulls. Some useful charts as well. Extract parags from the full article. My underlines.

Day Of De-Bottom By Warren Bevan, Feb 7, 2011
http://www.kitco.com/ind/Bevan/feb072011.html

'...While de-parture didn’t occur, de-bottom seems to have for Silver and Gold. Even US indices are shedding off all the calls for a correction in what is an unprecedented run higher. Markets don’t work like this unless they are being propped up.

It looks like our move to a bearish posture was incorrect and we are now slightly offsides. It’s never fun, but it will be made back quickly and with Gold and Silver breaking out trading profits are never far away...'

'...A report was received recently where it was said that the Chinese Central Bank is going to increase their Gold reserves, and Silver as well. It was said that they would be using the recent weakness as an opportunity to buy both metals. It doesn’t surprise me to hear this about Gold, and I may not have even mentioned it here. But to hear this about Silver is stunning.

Many societies, including China, have been on Silver standards in the past, and while it is industrial, it is also precious and can be argued as to have many of the same monetary values and features as does Gold. In the past Gold was used more for wealth storage, while Silver was used in day to day transactions due to it’s cheaper price.

It’s beyond what I can put into words how positive this is for Silver, if true. I guarantee if China begins buying Silver as reserves, many other countries will follow.

It’s no secret that I’ve been much more bullish Silver than Gold for years and my portfolio reflects that tremendously. Last year was amazing to say the least. And better years are ahead!

$200 Silver may seem cheap in a few years. No joke....'

Re: SILVER TRO:ASX TriAusMin Great article!

With Silver going up TRO:ASX is getting more and more unappreciated everyday. This company is sitting on great deposit in Australia. They have lead, zinc, silver, some gold and I didnt mention that their silver deposit is very large.

The stock has been moving on up nicely. It closed in Toronto on the TSX today at .22cents (TOR: TSX). Last closed at .19 cents in Australia.

Here is some information from a recent article from Silicon investor in the USA on TriAusMin.

Total contained metals

Approximately
667,000 oz gold
59 million oz silver
520 million lbs copper
2.7 billion lbs zinc
1.3 billion lbs lead

Prior to the financial meltdown in 2008 Triausmin had a market capitalization in excess of $125 million, today approximately $25 million.

This company is being viewed as a base metal company with out recognizing the significant silver and gold resource.

Comparable companies trading significantly higher.

At current prices the combined contained metal value is approximately $9.375 Billion. Projects are located in a mining friendly location with well established infrastructure. Newmont and Newcrest have very significant deposits and/or mines in the near vicinity.

Positive feasibility study confirms profit potential.

There is tremendous upside drilling potential. Aggressive drilling plans should be announced very soon.

The recent announcement that Sprott Asset Management will be funding the company for $3.2 million is extremely positive and should be a short term catalyst for the share price. Eric Sprott is considered one of the best asset managers in the world and one of the most vocal silver bulls.

In my opinion TOR.T is a grossly undervalued near term producer with tremendous upside drilling potential. The company has very good exposure to three of the strongest metals, silver, gold and copper. The company has been given zero value for it's tremendous exploration potential particularly at Lewis Ponds which was responsible for driving the predesessor's company's share price to over $4
 
Re: SILVER

Silver, having lifted by $7 over the last month or so looks set to really lift now that it is clear of the $30 area.

The following by Dan Norcini gives a perspective of the shorts being squeezed right out. You be the judge but pleased to have physical:-

http://traderdannorcini.blogspot.com/2011/02/what-is-commercial-signal-failure.html

Probably relates to the gold thread but few seem to be that interested anymore and really its all been said to the converted anyway.

Cheers to holders your day is nigh. IMHO only.
 
Re: SILVER

Pretty violent moves with silver the last few days...

Im hoping it drops to 30-31 and then lifts off again.

Gives everyone a chance to enter and feel they still got a bargain.
 
Re: SILVER

PEX - Peel Exploration could be a way to get on the silver bandwagon although on the speccie end of town they have dredged up some old results that could be a gem in the making. The new tenements look quite prospective for the old shiny grey ;););)metal, this illiquid stock may see further action if they wave a drill rig over the top of their best anomaly. I'll be watcing for BESBS entry.
