John Embry - Gold to Rapidly Triple in Price on This Move

With gold holding on to gains above the $1,650 level, today King World News interviewed John Embry, Chief Investment Strategist of the $10 billion strong Sprott Asset Management, to get his take on where he sees gold headed from here. Embry informed KWN that gold was very close a major breakaway move to the upside. Here is what Embry had to say about the situation: “I’ve been of the mind for a considerable period of time that the gold price really wouldn’t accelerate to the upside until such time as the physical market finally overwhelmed the paper market. But I think we’re reaching the stage now where there is mounting buying of physical because people are starting to realize the paper price is fraudulent.”

John Embry continues:

“We’re very close now to that important moment where the physical market actually does overwhelm the paper market, and as this takes place you will see massive moves in the price of gold. I will finally be convinced the physical market has gained ascendancy when the gold price is going up 4% or 5% a day or $100. That’s going to happen.

The ‘London Trader’ is right when he says there is a lagging effect from the physical purchases which is later reflected in the price. In the end, the Achilles heel of the paper manipulators is they have to be able to get enough physical gold to handle demand. So, I agree with the London Trader there is a delayed reaction.

I’ve had this discussion with a friend of mine, who was very active in the gold market of the 1970s, and he witnessed the London Gold Pool supplying as much gold as was necessary to keep the price suppressed. But at some point the entities working the London Gold Pool realized they only had a finite amount of gold. Even though they hate gold, they realized they couldn’t sell it all....

Kyle Bass On Rehypothecation And Other Keynesian Endgame Scenarios

If readers have the sense there has been a deluge of Kyle Bass reading (and viewing) materials on Zero Hedge in the past two weeks, it is because there has been: and why not - after all, unlike all other cheap talking heads, and know-nothing pundits who merely need a suit to make an appearance on one of the TV's financial comedy channels, Kyle has been consistent in the most important thing - telling the truth. Today, he took his resurgent popularity to CNBC which always knows which way the winds blow, and told David Faber more or less everything that Zero Hedge readers know already about Europe's collapse, on why the ECB will print but only after a default, and about the inevitable global debt restructuring. There was a twist: as most regulars here know, the key topic of the past week, of December, and potentially of 2011, is the limitless "fractional Prime Broker lending" of assets-cum-liabilities (and when it comes to the realization that one's gold itself m

Jim Sinclair - CB’s Trying to Keep Gold from Rising Violently

Today legendary trader and investor Jim Sinclair told King World News that central banks are trying to keep the price of gold from rising violently. Sinclair also believes we are entering a period where currencies will lose their ability to function as money and instead will act more like casino chips, while gold ascends. Here is what Sinclair had to say about the ongoing financial crisis: “What needs to be understood by our listeners, Eric, is when a haircut takes place, what you give with one hand, you take with another. Now the problem becomes the problem of a bank’s asset having been reduced and the bank’s ability to function reduced and the bank’s abilities to positively pass tests of liquidity have been reduced. And the psychology of the stability of a system has been reduced.” Jim Sinclair continues: “When that takes place there has to be something on the other side called liquidity, which is injected into the banks to overcome the haircut reduction. Not only that, but
