US Dollar seems to have lost its overnight support with the trade down 26.2 points at 84.125, close to its low of 84.040 when it really should be down below 72.00. Treasuries did get their support when London opened and the buyers are helping the sheeple stay in their positions regardless of their personal knowledge of low returns and high risk. Energy Sector continues to drop during the London session but climb during NYMEX with Crude Oil now at $95.72 down 57 cents with the rest of the sector simply waiting. Gold got hammered again first thing during the Asian session, most likely in response to the HKMEx deciding to leave the precious metals market. Personally, I feel their language used in the closing statement wasn’t as strong as it should have been. It could be that these people see what our governing bodies can’t, the manipulation of pricing will either stop, or they’ll just buy directly from London and COMEX till they drain the system and they will no longer risk their metals while doing so. Gold went as low as $1,336.30 and is now trading at $1,354.60 down $10.40 and is $10 off its high. Silver got beaten more than I’ve seen in a long time at the open. The trade now stands at $21.685 after dipping to $20.25 on roughly 1,745 dumped onto the markets within the first 5 minutes of trade. Regardless of the games being played the COMEX and LBMA are being drained of their precious metals and that will eventually stop these games of manipulation. Grains are lower in the back months but higher in the July contracts, Softs are all trading in the red and the Live Stock Sector won’t trade till 9:10 Chicago time. Paper Markets are trading lower but have recovered quite a bit from their lows in the early morning report. Jim Sinclair (my mentor in metals) had his meeting in LA where we got to meet 500 people involved with Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation. Some came with a chip on their shoulder wanting to blame Jim for their loses. Now these complainers are my elders, the ones that use to tell me that no one should blame anyone for their gains or losses, but to take responsibility for their own destinations in life, no matter what!! WTF happened to our society where people cannot accept their loses as their own? It was amazing to see these people blamed Jim Sinclair for what others are doing in the markets. Jim was perfect!! He took on the complainers with such gentleness and without his ego getting in the way. I would have lambasted these people one way or the other, which means, I have a lot more to learn about myself. Jim gave one tidbit that I thought was the most important clue out there. Back in 1980, the COMEX was scared out of its mind that the Hunt Brothers were going to take delivery of Silver and virtually drain the COMEX of all its Silver. They took, at that time, a reactionary response to these rumors, but Jim now feels that this time, COMEX will not allow this to happen and that they will most likely stop all deliveries before this will happen. How do you stop deliveries? Raise margins to 100% first which will push out all speculators and leave only those that need the product for manufacturing or delivery. I know some people that feel that the COMEX will send the metals down to zero $$ and then shut the system down. That’s scary indeed!! But why would they do that to an exchange they’ve controlled for centuries and when they hold 100 pieces of paper for every 1 real contract? I feel they will have to let Silver and Gold go to their natural price discovery because they will benefit from the price movement because they hold all that paper!! It’s only a matter of time before the jump in prices happen and it will be like a thief in the night, it’ll happen and no one will be able to respond to it unless they’re in Purchased Call Options as a protective action beforehand. It feels to me that we’re close to the moment when this will happen. There is so much tension in the markets it’s almost like sitting in front of an Alfred Hitchcock movie shower scene like “Psycho”. Keep buying Precious Metals, stay out of the Futures Market with the exception of holding Call Options and as always …. Stay Strong!!
