Gold Price Ready To Explode
PREVIEW by Chris MartensonIn this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Jeff Clark discuss:
- Central banks are now net buyers of gold
- China and India are buying like crazy
- Why the gold’s prospects haven’t been this good since 2003
- Why silver remains the even better bargain at today’s prices
Several years ago, Grant Williams famously explained bullion’s lackluster price action was because “nobody cares” about gold.
How times have changed.
Gold is back at $1,500/oz and appears to be consolidating in preparation of another move higher. As Jeff Clark tells us in this week’s podcast, suddenly EVERYONE seems to care about gold:

Off The Cuff: Central Banks Are Net Buyers Of Gold

The War on Cash is now spreading to gold. The Powers That Be want to assure that you have no escape hatches, no means of avoiding the financial and economic pain they are about to visit upon you and yours.
They hate gold because it represents a vote against them every time someone chooses gold over their own poorly-managed fiat currency. They hate cash to the extent that real cash (i.e., physical banknotes) held outside of the banking system might allow you to avoid having your savings stolen during an overnight application of new banking rules (e..g, a bail-in) that would transfer your wealth into whatever financial hole your idiot bank executives had managed to dig for themselves.
These ridiculous moves tell me that we're nearing the end-stage of this long-running farce. Too many years of stimulating borrowing above and beyond any reasonable expectation of ever paying those debts back have now driven the system to a terminal stage.

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Ted Butler discuss:
- How Precious Metals Spot Prices Get Set In This Market
- The big banks operating in the paper markets have oversized influence
- Silver's Moonshot Potential
- An "accident waiting to happen" in terms of upside
- Likely Triggers Of A Silver Supply Squeeze
- A number of candidates abound
- JP Morgan Is Amassing The World's Largest Silver Horde
- Positioning itself for higher prices ahead?
Ted Butler returns to provide an extremely in-depth explanation of how the precious metals futures markets work (very important to understand this, as that's where PM prices are determined). Yes, it's an unlevel playing field; and yes, the big banks are at the heart of the unfairness. But — as he explains in this hour-long exposition — Ted is confident the fundamentals of supply and demand in the silver market will one day trump all, and why silver is "an accident waiting to happen" in terms of price upside:
What I am saying is: there is such an incredibly small amount of new silver that is available from current production (I’m including recycling because that is where it basically comes from) that it can be gobbled up in a second.
How can the price be so cheap with these kinds of facts and circumstances? The answer is we go back to the managed money, technical funds and the commercial banks. The price is being set in paper trading; it's not being set by the actual acquisition or disposal of real metal. It has nothing to do with that at all. And that can’t last forever.
We've already experienced expressions of this fact. I think we started talking with each other years ago when silver was in the single digits — $4, $5, $6 an ounce — then it ran to close to $50 in the beginning of 2011. The reason it can have these breathtaking price advances is because there is so little of it that when anybody goes to buy it, it just has a pronounced and disproportionate impact on price.
As Bunker Hunt, the late famous silver speculator and investor from years ago said, and it is more true today than it has ever been: Silver is an accident waiting to happen. And that accident is in terms of price to the upside.

Monetary expert Jim Rickards returns this week to share the insights from his latest work The New Case For Gold, a detailed and highly-researched study of the fundamentals likely to drive the price of gold bullion in the years to come.
Rickards is quite confident that the price is going higher — much higher in fact — as the current world fit currency regimes falter, to be replaced by ones backed (at least in part) by bullion.
On the way to that outcome, expect the price to be subject to the geopolitical interests and aims of the largest players on the chessboard.
