Jim Sinclair’s Commentary
The inviting question that this revelation produces is what is China certain of?
Is it possible that gold in the cash market will in fact take over as the financial can kicking continues as QE to infinity? My belief is yes as we enter the second phase of the long term gold market I reported on to you this week.
Massive Squeeze Coming As WGC Confirms Gold-Backed Yuan
January 23, 2013
King World News is pleased to break the news first in the world for our global readers that the World Gold Council has now confirmed the Chinese are going to back the yuan with gold. Today a legend in the business, Keith Barron, who consults with major companies around the world and is responsible for one of the largest gold discoveries in the last quarter century, informed KWN of this development and also stated, “… the gold and silver bulls are going to begin to trample the bears at some point in the near future.”
Here is what Barron had to say: “This is what I have heard firsthand regarding the silver shortage. I spoke to a dealer where I purchase gold and silver in the United States. He just told me that immediately after the Presidential Inauguration his firm immediately began selling the hell out of monster boxes of US silver eagles.”
Keith Barron continues:
“This dealer informed me that business is absolutely crazy right now and he can’t keep product on the shelf because it’s flying out the door. I would also like to mention two items which are very important that the KWN readers should be aware of.
The first one is regarding an investment group….
“This is actually a hedge fund named Pacific Group, which is converting 1/3 of its hedge fund assets into physical gold. They have already taken delivery of $35 million worth of gold bars. The head of the fund was quoted by Bloomberg as saying, “In our judgment we are in the early stages of what would likely be the world’s largest short squeeze in any instrument.”
This goes back to what we were talking about the last time I was interviewed on KWN regarding gold repatriation back to Germany. Basically what these guys are saying is if everyone goes to claim their gold at the same time, the world will witness an incredible short-squeeze.
