Breaking: Historic Silver Panic in Progress, Says GATA Sources

Up, Up, and Away, Silvertards!  Beacon Equity Research:

It’s finally here—the long-awaited run on silver supplies.

Speaking with Alternative Investors Hangout (AIH), GATA’s Bill Murphy tells investors, “Just pay attention, right now,” because the buying is so heavy in an unprecedentedly tight silver market, we “don’t know what will happen here; it’s historic.”

And investors should, indeed, pay attention to Murphy’s latest assessment of the silver market. In July, he said an unidentified European billionaire told him to expect the bull market in silver to resume in late August.

“The fellow I spoke with I’ve known for years, one of the wealthier men in all of Europe,” Murphy told SGTReport in late July [BER article]. “He’s got a lot of connections . . . It will be tough for the gold and silver markets [during the month of July], but starting in August they would start to ‘go nuts’, and they would ‘stay nuts’ for a long time. . . Big, big moves are coming, starting in August.”

After 15 months of a painfully long consolidation, the big move in the silver price began, just as Murphy’s source predicted. After briefly toughing the low $27 level, silver has soared more than $7 withing three weeks, a gain of approximately 27 percent, or an annual compound rate of 6,500 percent!

Reminiscent of Andrew Maguire’s demonstration to the CFTC of his intimate knowledge of JP Morgan’s nefarious activities in the silver space, Murphy believes his source is well-placed and able to leak accurate information to investors as it comes available. Hours after alerting media of Maguire’s meeting with the CFTC, Maguire and his girlfriend were attacked by a would-be assassin with a speeding automobile.  (Someone's not fuckin' around, here..)

Moreover, the absence of King World News’ anonymous London trader has fueled speculation that Anonymous has moved on to Bill Murphy, who may also inherit DOS (denial of service) attacks following leaked information published by King world News.

“Because of my sources . . . when . . . this was in July, that gold and silver were going to base, [then] take off before the end of August and go to all-time highs, much higher, and that’s what’s happening,” Murphy tells AIH.

Another one of Murphy’s sources told him the silver market is so tight that the poor-man’s gold could touch $100 in another mini mania replay of the Aug. 2010 to April 2011 bull run that took silver from $17.50 to pennies shy of $50—a near-triple within eight months.

A similar move today, off $26.50 baseline support, equates to a target price of $75, but, according to Murphy, this next move in the silver price could eclipse that exciting jump which began in the summer of 2010—both in amplitude and time frame.

“I have other sources tell me the silver market is as tight as they’ve ever known in history,” he says. “I expect silver to go towards 80 [dollars] to 100, quickly. I know that seems like a big thing, but that’s what I think.

“All I know is: the physical market, if you want to buy silver in size, is the most difficult in history. These are from my best sources. We’ve been right on everything so far; now, we’ll see what happens.”

Though moves of that magnitude, suggested by Murphy’s source, may appear to newcomers to the silver market as hyperbole, but, because of the supply-demand dynamics of a heavily fettered silver market, the extent of an upward price adjustment may well become an inverse multiple of the extent of the price suppression.

In the case of silver, the latest U.S. Mint activity report reveals a 191:1 ratio between the number of silver and gold ounces sold at the Mint. Taking into consideration the ratio of silver and gold available in Mother Earth is estimated at 12:1 (according to the latest mining statistics), monstrous moves in the silver price expected by Murphy appear very reasonable.

And if the gold (and silver) cartel continues to buck Gresham’s Law, nature will indeed take its course—a consequence JP Morgan would like, desperately, to avoid.

“The gold cartel, JP Morgan, is trying to suppress us, but if I’m right, there’s a big scandal coming regarding JP Morgan and the silver market manipulation escapades,” Murphy says.

“It’s going to be something like the LIBOR scandal. I’ve been talking about this for months, as you well know. We’ll see what happens.”

Without identifying the extent or exact nature of the scandal, Murphy has said in previous interviews he suspects many banks have defrauded customers through the offering of allocated gold and silver accounts, which, may, in fact, not exist.

And those affected may be large Asian and other institutions, which could suddenly insist delivery of their metal—metal not available for sale at today’s prices.

For the banks to make good on deliveries, much higher prices are needed to draw sellers out. In the case of silver, the price presumably must at least catch up to gold’s double from its 1980 high of $850 as a price level that could draw sellers to market. A double in the silver price, from its high of approximately $50 in Jan. 1980, suggests at least a $100 handle for the white metal could bring in the sellers—but maybe not. The market for silver has been dysfunctional for many, many years.

“I know what should happen behind the scenes,” Murphy ends the interview. “I don’t know if it’s going to happen. If it [a stop to JP Morgan's scheme] doesn’t, it will come out in some other way, and it will blow peoples’ minds.”

Exciting!  Got some extra cash and feel like a gamble?  Silver beckons, baby..

Silver's Exploding!

$44.38 at 2:54 a.m. Central Standard.  Kitco chart found at Urban Survival.

Why Silver will continue to gain value in the near and far term.  Video interview.

Gold Exceeds $1,500 as Dollar Drops on Concern About U.S., European Debts  Stilted towards Gold, but Silver's there..

Gold for immediate delivery climbed as much as 0.3 percent to $1,500.43 an ounce before trading at $1,498.95 an ounce at 12:39 p.m. in Singapore. Bullion for June delivery in New York rose 0.4 percent to $1,500.90 an ounce. Silver reached the highest level in 31 years.

“The trigger for gold’s recent surge was the S&P downgrading of the U.S. credit rating,” said Gavin Wendt, founding director with MineLife Pty. Coupled with the debt turmoil in Europe and violence in the Middle East, “it’s a perfect storm for precious metals, including gold and silver.”

Will JPMorgan Now Make and Take 'Delivery' of Its Own Silver Shorts?

From Seeking AlphaExcerpts:

There is nothing inherently wrong and certainly nothing "illegal" about J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM) gaining a vault license for storing and taking delivery of gold/silver/platinum/palladium from the futures markets known as NYMEX/COMEX. However, the speed, timing and manner in which the exchanges just granted it troubles us.
The process of being approved as a licensed vault or weigh-master/assayer for the NYMEX/COMEX futures exchange usually involves a careful security inspection of the vaults, a full report of that inspection, and a completely transparent package submitted to the U.S. Commodity Futures Exchange Commission (CFTC) for approval. This process will ordinarily consume considerably more than 45 days. Apparently, such correct and careful practices apply only to banks and independent storage facilities that are not J.P. Morgan Chase.
Some vault operators are more equal than others. JPM appears immune from processes that everyone else must suffer through. On March 15, 2011, the Commodity Exchange (COMEX) and the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) advised the CFTC that they had approved .P. Morgan's application to become a licensed vault facility, using a "self-certification" process. The newly licensed vault, located at 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza, NY, NY, is ready to roll as both “weighmaster” and depository, for delivery of gold, silver, platinum and palladium contracts, as of March 17, 2011, two days later.

Silver's prospects in the near term..

Silver surged above $37 an ounce to a 31 year high  From FXStreet.com.  Excerpts:

Precious Metals: Gold rose for a sixth consecutive session as prices neared a record high. Spot gold’s record high of $1444.40 an ounce was set on March 7 previously. Unrest in Libya and the Middle East and Europe’s lingering debt crisis spurred demand for the precious metal as an alternative investment. Record low U.S. new home sales also increased speculation of extended central banks' accommodative policies. Silver surged above $37 an ounce to a 31 year high. Year to date, silver has outperformed gold, gaining over 20% compared to gold that is up just 1%.

Bullish momentum favoring gold, silver  From Commodity Online.  Excerpts:

Chart considerations suggest more upside for gold and silver, says BNP Paribas technical analyst Andrew Chaveriat. Spot silver hit a fresh 31-year high Wednesday.

“Bullish momentum favors a rise to $38.62 mega long-term resistance (76.4% retracement of the structural 1980-1993 decline) and perhaps the $40.00 psychological barrier,” Chaveriat says in a research note.

With everything happening all at once, don't forget to keep an eye on commodities.  It's a very important bellwether.
