    Demand of physical gold outstripping supply as global interest rate cuts lead flight from paper currencies

    Kiener: Gold Prices To Double On Paper Market Default 071008gold

    Tuesday, October 7, 2008

    Jurg Kiener, CEO of Swiss Asia Capital, told CNBC this morning that the flight from paper currencies as a result of global interest rate cuts will lead to a doubling in the price of gold within a short period, as demand for physical precious metals outstrips supply, causing paper contracts on gold to default.

    “The physical market has been on fire – it’s getting very hard to buy one ounce coins and smaller bars, most jewelry shops have been running out so we have a supply problem,” said Kiener.

    Kiener said that there was a two tier market in gold, the one on Wall Street where the bankers continue to gamble, and the physical market which is “red hot” and demand is outstripping supply.

    “I think we’re going to get very close where we see the environment where the paper contracts on precious metal defaulting, and with that we’re going to get a massive price increase in the overall prices of precious metal,” said Kiener.

    (ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)

    Asked where he expected gold to go after the paper market broke down, Kiener said he expected gold to double in price, “in a very short period of time, it will spike up quite fast,” he added.

    “If you had an oil rally going from $65 to $140 dollars in nine months, I think it can double in gold in a much shorter period because the market is much much smaller,” Kiener stated.

    Kiener pointed out that the expected global reduction in interest rates, kick-started last night by the Australian central bank’s one point cut, means gold is a far more attractive option than any currency because purchasing power of paper money will continue to decline.

    As we highlighted yesterday, the demand for physical gold is frantic and people are willing to pay premiums of $50 or more to get their hands on the precious metal.

    The potential for hyperinflation is a very real threat, and it has led to a spike in gold purchases. The Royal Canadian Mint recently sold out of one ounce gold bullion bars in what tellers described as a “crazy” demand to own the precious metal.

    The U.S. Mint also ran out of one-ounce American Eagle coins in August and one-ounce American Buffalo coins at the end of September.

    Michael Levy, a gold broker based in Surrey, B.C., said the volume of people purchasing gold is at its highest since the inflation scare of 1979. “People were buying then because of inflation, now because of a growing distrust in paper currency,” he said. “It’s a different mentality but the same rush.”

    Yesterday, 40-year market veteran and fund manager Robin Griffiths of Cazenove Capital Management told CNBC that the overprinting of dollars as a result of the Wall Street bailout will act as a catalyst for gold prices to rocket to $2,000 an ounce, as demand for precious metals outstrips supply amidst rumors of market manipulation.

      There will be a time period where gold and silver will be the only way to go, however, even that time period will come to an end. There really is only one way out of this mess and the further down the road we get the clearer that way is. With everything else falling by the wayside the light at the end of the tunnel is becoming clearer and clearer and I can see from where are salvation comes. I’m seeing Him much clearer now and He is the Way, the Truth, and the Light. His name is Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He’s allowing all the filth and debris of this world to be cast aside so that we can see Him more clearly and come to Him in repententance for our sins. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth coming. God says He will wipe away all our tears. God also says that a thousand will fall at our right side and ten thousand at our left but that we should stand. His Holy Word gives us the key to survival and its a word, “E N D U R E’.

      You can’t eat gold.

      Buy stockpiles of food, and something to clean up rainwater to make it safe to drink. I’m afraid it will get THAT bad. Think of buying things that will be able to supply your needs if everything else breaks down…

      Don’t give up your homes. Don’t submit to bullying and threats by gov/banks. They are all attempts to steal what America has earned for herself.

      The idea that America is in debt to the banks because we have built prosperity in this nation is absurd. The banks don’t lay 1 brick, teach 1 schoolchild, care for 1 sick person, supply a single meal for anybody… they are just parasites on the productive. Let them have no more…

    11. Absolved Says:

      John Locke once said, “Government has no other end, but the preservation of property.”

      When they conspire to take that property he said the following: “Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience.”

      Does that sound familiar? Do you feel enslaved by an arbitrary power? I know I do.

      He then added this, “But there is only one thing which gathers people into seditious commotion, and that is oppression”

      Folks, if the powers that be don’t listen to the voice of the people they might have to listen to the commotion John spoke of, if they can’t hear that and change then other less friendly sounds are sure to be heard.

    12. LM Says:

      Guess what… most of us can’t even afford to buy the supplies you advertise on here so that we can survive let alone buy gold from your advertisers that we are to add to our “portfolio”! Do you not realize most of us citizens don’t have “extra” money laying around or in a savings account. So if the paper money is going away why are your people taking our paper money in exchange for gold? And if it is pure gold why are they trying to sell it to us instead of keeping it to save themselves from the coming collapse? Is this site making money off of fear? If it gets as bad as AJ proclaims I think food and water would be worth much more.

      LM………..terrific questions.

    16. Ditto Says:

      I agree with LM. Most of us are broke dick dogs and cannot afford anything. But, to add a different twist, AJ needs sponsership unless he’s independently wealthy himself. I’ve heard him say he’s not rich. If true, he is like any other “persona” on the air and needs sponsers to get airtime. Think about the TV and the Superbowl as an analogy. How much do you thin a 20 second “spot” costs on Superbowl Sunday? Give AJ the benefit of the doubt. My problem is his allowing “google” ad’s since they’ve been proven to be the enemy of liberty!!

      We, “the middle class”, are entering the poor class due to the current world situation. The elites are driving us there, to add insult to injury!

      I just want to say that I think LM has a good point ..

      ‘if we the people band together and ’share what we have’…
      ..then; none of us will be poor…share what we have…
      …and we will all have something…
      …if; we all have something..then they get..nothing..

      TAKE ALL YOUR MONEY OUT OF THE BANKS and the STOCKS!
      …if they have no money..they can not control anything! “C” what i mean…
      ..ONE MIND = ONE CAUSE!
      (the middle class can only survive: when we step away from the ‘right and the left’…
      …this proves that only the middle class: keeps the line in the middle..
      ..a bridge between the right and the left…only the smart Ones : meet in the middle..
      you think about it!..ONE MIND and ONE CAUSE..together we stand as one; alone we fall one at a time!

      I’m still watching the Templars in Switzerland’s Banks, haven’t seen them running for “cover” yet. Anybody else have a closer feel for the “pulse” of the Swiss banking empire?

    20. Zebm1 Says:

      God don’t care about what’s happening on Wall Street, He has a wonderous Universe to play with and our rather insignifcant rather mediocre Sun is very commonplace. And for that fellow aforesaid in this blogstream, this ain’t a precursor to Armegeddon, that already happened with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire moved to Moscow (Tzar is Russian for Caesar). The only way out of this rabbithole is within ourselves.

    21. LM Says:

      I am not saying that AJ is giving us wrong information as I do believe he speaks facts. I just don’t like the fear that is driven here. I guess he can’t help it either but If he can’t change things with all his knowledge and who he knows, we little people are helpless too. It is just not healthy to worry all the time and not be able to change things. Kinda like sitting in a rocking chair…something we do but doesn’t get us anywhere….I think I’ll just walk away and pray, pray, pray…

      Today, I just resolved, within myself, to not worry about this sham ‘economy’ and await the day that all of the rich executives and bosses who walked all over me for all of these years will finally get THEIR JUST DESSERTS!!! Refusing to hire those in most need, just because they receive their mail at a “homeless shelter”! These businesses complain all the time about the homeless on the streets here, and want the police to “run them off” the public streets. Yet they refuse to even consider any job interviews with any of them! YOUR DAY OF RECKONING WILL ARRIVE AND I WILL BE THERE TO LAUGH AT YOU!!!!!

      You, the criminal, emotionless corporate jerks WILL FINALLY GET YOURS!!! After all of the tax gimme’s, all of the BLACKMAILING, and wimpering gestures – YOU WILL FINALLY GET YOURS!!!!

      After all of the stupid, deceitful excuses you gave to the public for hiring ILLEGAL ALIENS and telling us WE NEED THEM, while blatantly discriminating against honest, hard working, true Americans, all because of their skin color and their poor economic status! YOU WILL FINALLY GET YOURS!!!

      When you execs end up where some of us have been already, WE WILL LAUGH AT YOU – YOU WILL FINALLY GET YOURS!!!

      When you big-britches corporations pushed our legislators and councilmen to change the laws in your favor while pushing out the small, locally-owned, mom-and-pop businesses with your horribly-corrupt pro-big-business association(s), and the rest of US endured higher prices, higher costs of setting up our own businesses, and lower standards of social treatment of us, we will finally be able to say: “YOU WILL FINALLY GET YOURS!!!”

      So my advice to the corporate bigwig, the government retiree, and whatever have you: “When your retirement dries up to nothing, you lose everything to your name as many of US have years ago, and you end up on the streets like many of US are now, we will most certainly say – YOU WILL FINALLY GET YOURS!!!”

      THIS IS GOING TO BE THE SWEETEST REVENGE ANY MAN CAN EVER WITNESS!!! We, the poor, will not have to do anything, these crooks did this all to themselves WITHOUT OUR HELP!!! I will laugh until the sun rises no more!!!! They will have finally gotten theirs!!!

      Right on to comment #11, “Absolved Says”. The quote from John Locke:
      “Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, THEY PUT THEMSELVES INTO A STATE OF WAR WITH THE PEOPLE, WHO ARE THEREUPON ABSOLVED FROM ANY FURTHER OBEDIENCE.”
      Legislators have taken so much from us under the Bush regime. I’ve never felt less free or more angry with the government. It does appear that we are in a state of war with the legislators and the people….and a revolt in the making with “less friendly sounds coming from the voice of the people”.

      Gold won’t wok as a medium of exchange at the local grocery store….no one still has assayer scales, nor do they know how to use them. But, yall might need to bring a wheelbarrow with you when you go shoppig…..should Inflation take hold.

    36. DUDE4FREEDOM Says:

      idiots who say things like “your gonna need a wheelbarrow to go shopping” really make me sick. you stupid jerk. there will always be a coin shop open somewhere willing to buy your coin for the paper money of the day for your normal purchases. all one has to do is bring in the amount of gold you need for paper and sell off to the shop, get your worthless paper and go shopping. DUH!!! stupid monkey

    37. Rod Bleckstyne Says:

      The vast majority of North Americans (including Americans,Canadians and Mexicans) have no reserves of wealth or savings at all – and this means they have no “gold” and can’t afford, let alone “horde” any gold either!!! Salvation for these folks? There really ain’t any – is there!!!

    38. Zebm1 Says:

      DUDE4FREEDOM says there will always be a Coin Shop to exchange your coins for paper money….Hmmm, if paper money becomes worthless, how long will the Coin Shops remain open? Prior to the Nazi Party assuming control of Germany in he 1930s, due to a “contrived” inflation….citizens of Germany actually did have to use wheelbarrows to buy a loaf of bread. Now DUDE4FREEDOM, does the current Financial Crisis seem contrived to you given the fact that in 1999 almost all of the Consumer Protections that the Congress in 1933 passed the Glass-Steagall Act prohibiting national and state banks from affiliating with securities companies was “gutted” by the passage of The Gramm (R)-Leach (R)-Bliley (R) Act (GLBA). 1999 to 2008 and we are looking at an even larger financial meltdown than what occurred back in 1929…only 9 years to “Crash” our economy. So who was the majority in power that was supposed to be doing “Oversight” of our Financial Markets? Can we say Free Market Republicans” as in the “De-regulator” Senator John McCain? Oh and BTW,Congressman Gramm, McCain’s economic Advisor, isn’t he the one who said that “we are a Nation of whiners!”
