Today one of the most highly respected fund managers in Singapore shocked King World News when he said that custodians of the ETF GLD have refused to give people physical gold in exchange for the shares. Grant Williams, who is portfolio manager of the Vulpes Precious Metals Fund, also warned that the massive and escalating paper claims on physical gold at the COMEX warehouse are going to create an explosion in the price of gold. Below is what Williams had to say as KWN readers around the world take another trip down the rabbit hole.

Eric King: "Grant, I wanted to ask you about paper claims on gold. They have reached another new all-time high. I think when you wrote (on KWN) about this initially it was around 42 to 1 (42 claims for every ounce of physical gold that exists). I think we have now surged all the way up to 54 to 1."

Williams: "Yes, we're up around 55 now, Eric. We've seen the gold being drained out of the COMEX almost non-stop this year, certainly since the Bundesbank repatriation request. So, to see the claims mounting is no real surprise....

On the heels of a viral King World News interview with Singapore fund manager, Grant Williams, where he exposed the fact that GLD is telling customers, "they can't have the gold," KWN also reached out to 42-year market veteran John Hathaway to get his take on these dramatic events which have transpired. Hathaway had a powerful take on what has unfolded and he also spoke about the enormous implications as this massive run on physical gold continues. Hathaway, of Tocqueville Asset Management L.P., is one of the most respected institutional minds in the world today regarding gold, and his fund was awarded a coveted 5-star rating.

Eric King: "John, I know you have seen today's interview with Grant Williams, but I don't think people around the world understand what's happening with GLD. People have tried to get their gold out of that ETF and you just can't get it."

Hathaway: "That's right. If you are, say, Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan, or one of the big bullion dealers, you can exchange shares for gold. And it's just an arbitrage game for the dealers.

But if you are not within that system, and you have 100,000 shares of GLD, it's like pulling teeth trying to get physical gold out of that ETF....


Gives weight to the following mantras:

It is compulsory for every KWN article to contain either 'shocked/ing' or 'explosive' in the body.

Keeping that in mind, I do enjoy their articles :)

I only included the introductory paragraphs and gave the link.

Like a lot of members, I find KWN provides a lot of insights into the backroom machinations of the industry. Not all their predictions are bullish, just add them to the plethora of information berfore making up my own mind.

What we won't find on KWN is the expectation of the AUD hitting parity again. This will drop spot by a couple of dollars.
 
Most Australians forget that Australia is a tiny population with an average size economy and whether it rises or falls is of very little consequence to the world. The phrase 'mouse that roared' is rather true. One of the most ridiculous things the Oz government did was lobby to sit on the Security Council. Like making a schoolchild 'headmaster' for the day.

We have the 12th largest economy in the world! I think it's shown as 17th in the CIA Fact Book.

But your still breaking the rules/law. It states clearly that you can't redistribute the information...you can only post a link.
 
I think what this rumour is based on is some non-Authorised Participant large investor going to HSBC and asking for metal. Now ETF custodians will reject that because they can't take the shares directly, it is the trustee who gets (or issues) shares and then tells the custodian to give or take gold.

The other possibility is that the large investor went to an AP and asked them to take their share and redeem for gold. I am sure that in the prospectus it says this may be possible but it is up to the AP so it is not guaranteed. Most APs would not want to bother with physical redemptions, particularly if they are not a BB with vaults etc.

Either way I think the custodian or AP telling the investor to bugger off is where the rumour starts and as we know with Chinese whispers the details get lost and it become generalised.

Grant doesn't have to provide names IMO but more specific details about what sort of person asked for metal, did they ask the custodian or AP or maybe their broker etc so we can judge the likelihood of the story. If none of those generic details are available then it is no more than gossip.
