China & The Gold Market

China's Role in the Gold Market : China has admitted what many gold bugs have long speculated: it's been stockpiling gold since 2003. That accounts for only about 1.6% of China's total foreign exchange holdings and is little more than one-tenth of the value of the U.S. gold reserve, the world's biggest. It also means gold has slipped as a share of China's total reserves from about 2%, based on end-2003 prices. China's investment in gold has increased by around 50 percent over recent years, coming in behind India as the world's second largest gold consumer. At the China International Jewellery Fair, gold lovers eye everything from standard rings to designer necklaces. Or for those with no limits, how about a gold tiara or tailor-made luxury bra.

James Turk on Goldseek Radio - Nov. 23, 2011 : the original target was $8000 and the time frame was 2013 to 2015 I still think that that time frame will probably going to be right James says , the central banks are doing an even worse job than what he envisioned when he first made that forecasts ten years ago , the new James Turks target is now $11000/0z for the period 2013-2015 instead of the previous $8000/oz because of what the central banks are doing in debasing the currencies worldwide .....

James Turk sees Gold at $11,000/oz by 2013-2015

James Turk says another Lehman Brothers is coming before the end of the year just like in 2008 , but this time around the sell offs are more driven by fears investors are making sure their assets are safe rather than any liquidity concerns and this kind of environment James Turk expects Gold and Silver to do the opposite of what they did in 2008 when they got sold with everything else , the collapse of MF global is still playing out in the paper market but the people what are accumulating gold and silver and have been accumulating gold and silver for the past decade they do not really care of what's going on in the paper markets ...regarding Europe James Turk says he expects it to breakup in the next few years in some form he just do not see how it could work ....The European politicians made a mistake with Greece when they decided that it could not go bankrupt what that did it essentially opened the Pandora box ...Europe generally will continue to spin out of control , the Euro is very problematic it just cannot survive from the longer time perspective , there are too many fragile breakpoints that could cause it to fall apart ....right now we are in a 'managed retreat for Gold' , every bull market has three stages the first stage is apathy and neglect no one is paying attention and that what happened before gold broke to $1000/oz , we are now in stage two , the big dramatic moves won't come until we got into stage three that;'s when the speculators start jumping in and and your neighbor start telling you to buy gold you know that kind of thing , that's down the road that's 2013 - 2015 , the interesting thing about silver is that it is still at stage one it won't get to stage two until it breaks the $50/oz that's probably going to happen in the first half of the next year ....

Mike Maloney & Max Keiser on The MF Global Missing Gold

Max Keiser interviews Mike Maloney of GoldSilver.com about the latest in the precious metals market and about a $15 trillion Dow."MF Global is like the Mafia guy who turned states evidence on the Kingpin of the Mafia. Because, you can't "freeze out" the Nymex from the underlying criminal racket that's going on.....If you turn in or "taddle tale" on the "Don" of the Mafia you're gonna ruin the entire money making enterprise of the Mafia...It just show's you how bad the situation is - that MF Global would in effect put a knife-in-the-back of its very own criminal syndicate operator Nymex." -Keiser .The wealth Chinese buy gold because the RMB are losing value fast due to high Inflation! The Chinese government's # 6.1% is a big lie. Inflation in China's >16%. Chinese stock market is at the lowest. Every province in China is a Greece. Banks load with debt. The local Chinese bonds all junks. Chinese housing is the biggest bubble. Investors all got trapped. There's no good investment in China. And who exported the inflation to China and Asia, U.S. Dollars and treasury bonds. This is a price that the Chinese has to pay if they want more export but pegged with U.S. Dollars. Unfortunately, the Chinese aren't foolish to let their currency devalue day by day. Even by Keynsian point of view, they know the danger of inflation. I like silver better than gold on a percentage basis. It also has an industrial demand component that could make things get even more interesting. Everything is going electronic now, books are even becoming obsolete to e-readers. Solar panel demand is about to go parabolic. Silver is it.
