    Dear Bill, the Gold and silver markets are absolutely manipulated. I know you dismiss it and don'
    t wat to hear and talk about it - but they are, plain to see for evberyone who cares to really look at them. Surprisingly, for all your talk about the manipulative practices of the HB&B you go out of your way to dismiss the same manipulation in the much smaller, much tighter controled by the HB&B and hence much easier to manipulate precious metals markets. gop figure, something doesn't add up here.
    @Georealist: I disagree with a couple of Mark's points but, he does some really thorough research and some of his observations are spot on. You, on the other hand, argue with bias and opinion, but very light on facts. The comes futures markets have almost ZERO relationship with real physical demand for gold, silver and palladium. Any major bullion bank can hammer and lift prices there at will - even more so if they compine theiur efforts, what they very often do.
    or are you to tell me that all of a sudden, one August afternoon real demand for gold and silver fell so sharply to warrant a 30% haircut in prices? LOL!
    btw, real silver dealers report very long delays in delivery, the us mint has suspended to issue silver coins(!!) the perth mint has hude tzime lags delivering silver to clients that supposedly had all been stored already - go figure.

    I have heard that both IAMGOLD (IAG) and Aurelian Resources (AUREF) (gold mining companies) are extremely good companies that have little debt, good gold mining projects, and alot of capital in the bank. Even though they have gone down the past few weeks, they are beginning to go up again and will reach extremely big highs in the next few months. Reply

    Of course Mark Anthony is incorrect as usual. Physical platinum has been falling because of sever restructuring of PGM expected use industrially. Platinum and palladium are still overwhelmingly not investment of jewelry driven markets.
    IF...supplies were tight and demand was level we wouldNOT have seen a 43% drop in palladium and a like drop in Platinum.
    Why Mr. Anthony has a website is beyond me...his Alpha articles are scattered and largely incomprehensible..and he doesn't seem to understand metal market basics.
    I'd also argue with Mr. Cara that what we are seeing could even remotely be seen as a dollar bull. It's...if anything..a response to Euro slamming..the US dollar will get over this short lived reflexive move up soon..and resume it's very long forward looking slide. Uranium..silver (especially) and palladium have great upside potential after a very brief levelling period...October/Nov sounds about right.

    ETF Securities said on Monday the amount of platinum it holds to back its Physical Platinum PHPT.L exchange-traded commodity fell 30 percent in the week to Aug 17. The ETC is now backed by 218,165 ounces of metal, its lowest point since February 5 and some 46 percent below the all-time high of 407,000 ounces it hit in early July.
    In consequense someone is buying the physical thing and those poor
    PHPT.L holders are getting a useless piece of paper. No wonder all these ETFs are dying, the metal is going somewhere else...

    The dollar rally is the result of a large short position unwinding. The sharp correction in some commodities is likewise a technical event. It is logically incorrect to extrapolate the short term unwinding of trades into a dollar "bull" market.

    The dollar is attached firmly to the continued crap out in the financial sector. FNM and FRE are headed for government takeover and their shares will go to zero. Will LEH fail? WM? When the FDIC needs more money, what will the effect be on the dollar?

    When Platinum was trading in 1998 at 500$ range nobody looked at it,now at 1200$ there are many who are interested.
    Same is with gold/silver and anything else.
    On who waits to be in the wave on the bottom or short on the top,gets older by 10 years at least,I am trading in and out and make a super good living in high end part of Frankfurt,last weeks profits will buy me a Rolex Daytona gold,I didn't got older while living with the markets and waiting for miracles,I embrace reality and make small profits here and there,my losses are even smaller but in the end of the month it all adds,while you will be talking forever whether it is a bull or a beart,I will make my money on a trading ranges,let the market decide the direction I will adjust to any new reality.

    Very true Mark. However, these things run on perception much more than fact in the short-term. Reply

    Bill:

    One thing you should pay attention to is not just the massive physical metal redemption request of the ETF Securities platinum fund, but also the fact that the actual trade volume of the shares are way much lighter than the redemption requests. So the redemptions of the physical platinum metal are NOT investment funds unloading, but rather they must be industry users who hold shares tender the shares to redeem for the physical metal.

    Another thing is on August 7th, the US government suspended sales of platinum from the defense strategic stockpile inventory. This is something that never happened before in 20+ some years since the end of the Cold War. You must understand that platinum is a critical war time material. Read this for the discussion:

    Esquel is a beautifull place with a skying resort ,13 lakes ,millenium forests on a wonderfull National park. It is totally logic for them to ban a mining project .They don“t need it and they are right not to risk this unique environment for the profit of some mining company .
    They simply exploit their natural resources with safe industries as is turism.

    To Marc, I consider LMC a tremendous value at under $5. Considering the negative sentiment surrounding mining stocks I wouldn't be surprised to see further downside below $4. The Lundin family has a stellar record developing natural resource projects and they are large shareholders in Lundin Mining. The Lundin family has incentive to improve the share price. I believe the Congo project, with increased cost estimates, is weighing down on LMC. Freeport has agreed to finance any overruns in the cost estimate originally given to Lundin Mining at favorable terms.

    As far as CDE, I believe the stock is a favorite of precious metals shorts. CDE is prone to heavy volatility. If you hold onto your believe that silver is in a long-term uptrend, CDE is a great place to be given that they are poised to be one of the largest silver miners in the world. Bolivia is being developed at a timely pace and the performance of CDE is centered around the short-term fall in silver prices.

    I've posted more detailed analysis in the past about LMC and CDE on my blog.

    Cheers.
