Manufactured products that require the support of mass production and for no better term, high civilisation, meaning high-technology, global transport networks, extensive certification. Such things like rubber products, adhesives, coatings, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, propellants...

I have nothing to support my opinion but hearsay and gossip... the lack of interest in gold and silver is telling me that folks no longer consider them important to the future... you may find some clues if you look at prices of durable goods and services... demand is outstripping supply as folks...

Any references or citations to support your suspicions would be very helpful as you are presenting an interesting angle, but is quite different from what I have heard from industry sources and Chinese experts on the inside.

Back to SilverSanchez original question... If you diversify into other commodities, you will hear complaining and groaning about market manipulation pushing prices up, but by the very nature of the gold and silver markets you mostly hear complaints about market manipulation pushing prices down...

Manipulation is as old as the markets themselves. Research how China has stockpiled 6 years worth of domestically produced cotton in an attempt to push up cotton prices, similar to how Australia stockpiled wool in the '80's in an attempt to corner the wool market, and the list goes on and on...

I just found out that I will not be able to make this meet-up... really bummed out as I was looking forward to hearing and discussing the SMSF's and PM's with fellow stackers.

Uncle Scrooge for the next Chairman of the Federal Reserve!!!

Hey... you're not allowed to say that!!! The 'Jester' is going to be very annoyed with you

I am kinda happy to see the price slide... be even happier if gold breaks through $1200USD because that means I can afford to buy a few things I had my eye on for a while... what goes down must go up and what goes up must come down... all good.

Alfie, Thanks for your reply. As I said before, very few except the sellers will know the exact reason for this trade, and you are right, there was a motivation for the trade. That is the reason all of us buy and sell anything, something motivates us to do so. And you are rightly entitled to...

Been thinking about this a bit more overnight... The trading team that I spoke of in my previous post, was often on both sides of a trade, so selling from one account based in New York and buying through another account in Dubai. The team was spread around the world and had 'offices' in every...

I will try to explain my position, I may need help from wrcmad and others that have a better understanding of the world of financial trades and swaps... so feel free to correct and critique as needed. Of the many possible motives for this trade, two motives could be political or profit based...

Alfie, You are not looking for answers, you are only looking for and accepting opinions that support your presumption of market manipulation as the motivation for the trade in question. Again both Ronnie666 and wrcmad replied to your question and again presented a differing opinion and point...

WHY don't YOU ask the person or party that dumped that amount of paper onto the market in such a short amount of time? Any answer that you are going to get on this forum is going to be assumption, surmising, suspicion, guessing, whatever... even the folks over a ZeroHedge don't know the real...

Just because I think like a criminal does not make me a criminal... but is does increase my situational awareness.

In another life, I was paid very well to think like a criminal to design, test and breach all manner of security systems. I repeat... a safe is a target... targets are meant for hitting... a safe or vault is no security on its own... it is only a delaying mechanism or obstacle for criminals. A...

A safe is always a target... just a big no-no... like a red rag to any criminal.

Thanks, Bron... just goes to show how much disinformation and propaganda is being purported by the gold and silver soothsayers... it never seems to end and only reinforces that one must never accept facts at face value.

We have gone through this before... stop looking for a job and start looking for work... you obviously do not yet understand the difference... so by rights you should be worried because you have no chance of surviving anything... well... tough luck... that means more for me.

I prefer to get my news regarding the USA first-hand instead of second-hand from the Australian news, a few clicks I can get news about the USA from Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Bloomsberg, CNN, etc just like I can get first-hand Australian news with a clicks from The ABC, Sydney Morning...
