For the past six months, I have been building the case for you to sell every single paper asset you have and buy real assets. I have had my run-ins with famous traders/traitors who seek to make trades in and out of the market. These guys are making cute bets while the music/propaganda is still playing and the booze/money is still flowing. For the most part I am not arguing about their bets. I am telling them that the whole 20-story casino is going to collapse on top of them and to cash in their chips and get out.
Recently, I have been asked about this strategy of selling silver and gold now to buy it back at a lower price later. When I asked these two members where they got that idea, it was from two different paid sites that seem to cover many of the same issues I cover. Both guys are letting their paid members know that they are selling now to buy back silver and gold later at a lower price. This is not two months ago; this is this week.
Let’s think this through for a minute. I understand that many people love the banksters’ casino and feel a need to give them your money; that is why you trade. For many it is a disease. Others feel they are really good at it and that it is not really gambling. (All gamblers feel that when they are winning.) You also understand that I am a physical silver purist whose reasons for buying silver go way beyond short-term profits. Let’s play out the case that was put out yesterday by one of these paid services.
The first trade focused on gold breaking the 50-day moving average yesterday and the upcoming Greek vote. He is expecting a 3% to 8% drop in gold within a day or so. After that, he says buy the dip. My first problem is that this guru is not telling his paid audience what a risk they have by simply having money in the system/casino. When this deflationary crash does happen, the entire banking system is at risk, not just the assets they are speculating on. What good is it to be right on the bet yet not be able to really profit from it?
In 2008, we saw that the buck was broken on money markets and many bank failures followed. This crisis will be magnitudes worse because nothing was fixed and the problem is much bigger than in 2008. This is no longer an American problem, it is a global problem. Compounding this problem is that we have burned through all of the political and financial capital we had from the last crisis. I mean, are we really going to listen to another Treasury Secretary about “too-big-to-fails”?
No, after three years of declining unemployment, burning through their nest eggs, and the dark clouds on the horizon, people are desperate and they are going to blow up. Confidence will not be restored and people will finally do the right thing and stop gambling in the rigged casino of the banksters. This will lead to runs on banks as people pull cash out. This will lead to people emptying their brokerage accounts and further paper asset depreciation. The sickening thought of losing everything to a system so volatile will cause people to do extreme things. So simply having a trade right is not enough of a reason to gamble, especially when the casino is set to be demolished.
Even if this paid writer suggested that people do this with physical cash and physical gold, I would still have a problem. When this event that shakes the foundation of our entire banking system happens, who says there will be gold or silver available to buy? Or that real physical prices will not be dramatically higher? After all, the only logical place for all of this paper money is in real tangible assets. There will be a mad rush for anything real, be it food, energy, clothes, guns, and precious metals. Especially after the Fed and the Treasury print trillions more to save the system. The head fake deflation will bring about the inevitable hyperinflation. The paper price of gold and silver may be lower, but “the real” on the street price will either be much higher or not available at all. This is a very serious issue that these paid writers do not discuss.
Then there is the very real risk of a CRIMEX default. I have made the case that there has been a war against silver since 1873 and that silver is the most manipulated asset in the history of the world. The reason for this manipulation is that it is the “silver bullet” to the quadrillion empire of lies that the elite have built on debt and war. Their massive paper manipulation can go on forever, up until the point that they can no longer deliver real silver that they are trading 100 times over.
As you can see from the 45 degree angle of depletion in the registered inventory, this event is closer than you think. As we get closer to “point zero”, the quicker it will become as people get nervous and pull their metal out — much like a bank run. Instead of trading in electronic digits for FRN’s, they will trade in their paper receipts for the real metal. If there is a default, all paper holders will get screwed as the CME settles for some fictitious paper price of silver instead of the real physical price.
The next paid guy spent an hour describing all of the exact same issues I cover and then says to load up on Federal Reserve Notes. His reasoning was that a deflationary crash is going to make everything cheap for dollar holders. Does this guy not realize that if the banking system goes, the currency goes? Does this guy not know that we have $1.4 trillion budget deficit this year and $4 trillion in short term debt to be rolled over in the next year and a half? Does he not realize that the EU is facing a $6 trillion crisis that is just starting with Greece?
The Fed is buying 80% of our debt right now and that is going to end this week. If debt/money is not created in excess of the debt plus interest the year before, the entire system implodes. So the choice is to either let the system implode — which would kill the dollar with massive banking defaults, the cessation of commerce, and massive social unrest both here and abroad — or they have a hyper-inflationary event where the Fed has to react to another trillion-dollar crisis and print trillions more to cover the problem up. That would lead to a worldwide rush out of the dollar as it becomes clear to all foreign and domestic investors that the Fed is determined to destroy the value of the dollar and that people better find a better place to keep their money.
Either way, deflation or hyperinflation, the Federal Reserve note is not going to make it out alive. In fact, that is the plan. Things that cannot go on forever won’t. Our system is unsustainable and the plan is to crash it and create a new global paradigm. I believe that the elite will fail and we will see massive decentralization. Either way, the dollar paradigm is toast.
If you insist on playing this game of trading and want to take advantage of a price drop, here is something you could consider. If there was another massive attack on silver like in 2008, which I don’t think will happen, you can borrow against your stash and buy more physical silver. I am not a fan of leverage or debt, but if we go through what we went through in 2008, I would seek to leverage my metal at the bottom and load up on a very depressed price. If you think about it, the more metal you put in, the more you can borrow, then the more you can put in. It would have to depend on the terms and your ability to handle the payments, but it is something to consider. I would prefer you sell every single paper asset you have before you try something funky like this.
For guys like me that have NO paper assets, this is something to consider. I mean, right now you can borrow 5 years on a car for 2.9%. Why wouldn’t they do the same thing on your metal, sitting in their bank? Hmm… 2.9% versus the 25% silver has been returning…especially if it gets whacked and then the CRIMEX looks to default.
There is an old saying in the marketing world: If you can describe a problem better than your audience can, they will assume you know the answer and follow you anywhere. This stands in direct opposition to what I have been trying to do here. I am about you questioning everything, including me. Please do not assume because someone is 90% right, that it means he is right on the final 10%. The best lies always have a lot of truth in them. Question everything, educate yourself and be ready to stand on your own.
