Do I really have to post the data or do Zippy and PRB have their bills paid for spewing strong dollar BS, so I have to post the actual numbers?
Silver and gold are severely (and illegally) managed "commodities" so that the Zippy Zombies will believe the dollar actually has been getting stronger.
Buy it while you can at these managed prices or forever hold your peace.
The bullion market (as it has been proven) trades 100 times physical to manage the prices while raking in billions in profit. But don't fret, an 'investigation' is under way.
Meanwhile...
JPMorgan Chase, the largest U.S. bank, one the largest providers of financial services in the world and one of the most powerful banks in the world has accumulated one of the largest stockpiles of silver the world has ever seen.
The total JP Morgan silver stockpile has increased dramatically in the last four years. In 2011, JP Morgan has little or no physical silver. By 2012, they had acquired 5 million ounces of silver bullion.
Incredibly, in the last 3 years their COMEX silver stockpile has increased tenfold and is now over 55 million ounces...
...while one can debate just what was the net demand/supply for various other sectors such as jewelry, technology, and physical (not paper) gold investment, one thing is clear: central banks went on a shopping spree. According to the latest World Gold Council data, in 2014 the world's central banks went on a golden shopping binge to take advantage of the ongoing dumping in paper ETF gold, resulting in bank net purchases amounted to 477 tonnes over the past year, a 17% above 2013’s 409 tonnes. This was the second highest year of central bank net purchases for 50 years, coming second only to the 544 tonnes added to global gold reserves in 2012.
Of course, the CBs just want to load up on gold tonnage in their vaults "for tradition", so Zippy recommends loading up on dollars instead. You decide.
