Chris Martenson: Gold is manipulated (but that's OK)
2:21p ET Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Financial writer Chris Martenson today hurls himself into the gold market manipulation camp with brilliant commentary that cites some of the documentation GATA long has been publicizing. We disagree with him only insofar as, like some others, he shrugs off the manipulation as an opportunity for investors to obtain metal at a wonderful discount. As long as we live in a world where time is limited and thus equivalent to money, such a discount may be consolation only for those with long lives ahead of them. Many gold investors have gone to their graves thoroughly cheated, without consolation, and of course the manipulation also entails constant deception of both investors and citizens generally, which is repugnant in itself. But we wish Martenson the longest of lives so that he, unlike some of our departed friends, may cash in on his perceptiveness and so the rest of us might benefit from many more commentaries like his new one, "Gold Is Manipulated (But That's Okay)":

Free Month Subscription to Market Force Analysis for GATA Supporters
Market Force Analysis is a unique, patent-pending approach to commodity market analysis. An algorithm has been developed to extract supply and demand weightings from futures market data. The difference between supply and demand is the market imbalance that is called "market force," so named because it is what drives price. It brings clarity to past market action and predicts market trends. Because it is derived from accurate futures market data it is not subject to the errors inherent in macro-level estimates of supply and demand.

A Rare Opportunity with Collectible Gold Coins
Whose Premiums Are Far Below Normal
Sovereign debt problems in the United States as well as Europe will worsen this year. The mainstream financial media may never report about the likely inflationary consequences of bailouts and "quantitative easing," nor are they likely ever to recommend tangible assets for financial protection. But at Swiss America Trading Corp. we believe that it is no longer a luxury to own gold and silver coins but rather a necessity.
At the moment the public is showing little interest in Double Eagle U.S. $20 gold coins, so the price premiums above the intrinsic melt values (.9675 ounce of gold in each coin) are historically low. The ratio of price to bullion content for these coins has been 2:1 but today it is only about 1.25:1.
This is a real opportunity. So give us a call or e-mail and we will be glad to discuss the potential of these coins and how to use a ratio strategy to increase your gold ounces without money out of pocket.
In the January edition of his Early Warning Report, Richard Maybury writes: "As they are inherently in very limited supply, I believe that high-quality numismatics will become tulips, eventually rising a thousand percent or more in real terms, when money velocity goes into mid-second stage. In late stage, who knows -- 2,000 percent? 3,000?"
