Hi All. In answer to several posters here on the POG. You have to remember there are two markets in PMs (paper and physical) The paper market is stuffed full of shorts ($35billion), the banks are using every trick in the book (similar to here) to drive the price down to lessen their inevitable losses. The main thread at the moment is, bitcoin, rising bond yields, (therefore rising interest rates) and a more valuable $. This is pure fantasy. Bitcoin is a bubble waiting to burst. Interest rates will have to rise to a minimum of 6% to effect the POG. When bond investors come to their senses and realize that they are lending $s £s to establishments at a guaranteed loss and central banks stop buying their own govs debt, the brown stuff will hit the fan and rush into gold will be epic. The physical market is tight. Coin dealers that work on a small premium are sold out with deliveries taking longer. Dealers that have high premiums still carry some stock.
When, not if, the bullion banks give up the battle the chance to purchase physical gold at todays prices will vanish for ever. ATB Speedy
