Jeffrey P. Snider: F(r)actions of gold

Section: Daily Dispatches

11:50p ET Thursday, January 28, 2016

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Zero Hedge tonight calls attention to commentary published this week by Jeffrey P. Snider, head of global investment research for Alhambra Investment Partners in Palmetto Bay, Florida, who argues that gold has been hypothecated and rehypothecated so much by central banks and investment banks, giving rise to a vast imaginary supply, because for several years now the monetary metal has been the only decent collateral left in a world economy creaking under the weight of contrived financial instruments that really aren't worth much at all. Snider seems to suspect that this racket is just about finished. His commentary is headlined "F(r)actions of Gold" and it's posted at the Alhambra Investment Partners Internet site here:

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:
