Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Our friend R.B. wrote yesterday:
"What do reckon about this guy who was interviewed by Kitco News last week and predicted $10 silver in 2015?:

"Sincerely, R.B."
Your secretary/treasurer replied, for whatever it might have been worth:
1) In the short term -- say, a year out -- government trading in the futures markets can put prices of any commodity and financial instrument wherever government wants to put them.
2) Anyone who purports to analyze commodity and monetary metals markets without reference to intervention by central banks, the biggest players in the markets, is wasting everyone's time or else is a government tool.
3) The same goes for any financial journalist who reports on markets without reference to government intervention.
But maybe there is still hope for Kitco News, as last week it also interviewed Rosa Abrantes-Metz, the New York University business school professor who has developed and publicized evidence of manipulation of the gold and silver markets, though her evidence does not seem to have directly cited central banks. That interview is six minutes long and can be viewed at Kitco's Internet site here:

Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.
Direct Ownership and Storage of Precious Metals
Outside the Banking System in Zurich and Singapore
Goldbroker.com is a precious metals investment company that enables investors to own and store gold directly in their own name (no mutualized ownership) in Zurich and Singapore.
Goldbroker's clients are not exposed to any counterparty risks. They own gold and silver in their own names (the ownership certificate cites the name of the investor and serial number of his bars) and they have storage accounts opened in their own name as well. So Goldbroker.com's storage partner knows the exact identity of each investor. Goldbroker.com doesn't store in the name of its clients; rather, Goldbroker's clients store personally. All investors have direct access to their gold and silver bars.
Goldbroker.com was launched in 2011 so that investors would avoid any counterparty risk when investing in physical gold and silver.
Goldbroker.com is listed among GATA's recommended monetary metals dealers:
