There are two major developments in the past two weeks that are pushing gold to new highs, with gold reaching $1825/oz. this afternoon.

First, GATA, the Gold Anti Trust Action Committee, knows more about the gold industry than any other organization on earth, in my opinion. The last time they hosted two other conferences, few attended, but enough did so that the gold price exploded both times. Their conference before the last one was a few years ago in Dawson City, when gold was about $438, and gold exploded up to about $750 without much of a pause, and only 100 people attended their show. But the quality of the people was very high! A billionaire gave a presentation, Hugo Salinas Price. And Adrey Bykov, the personal economic advisor to Putin, the president of Russia at the time was also there.

Last week, GATA hosted a London conference to 400 people!! These people are now educated far more about gold, and are likely influencing tens of billions of dollars to buy gold. This event alone could push gold prices to $3000 within 6 months, especially given that the gold market remains a tiny $136 billion annual industry.

To learn more about GATA, see GATA.org. I'm sure they will make the content of their conference available to purchase on DVD's sometime soon. Get on GATA's daily email dispatch list, at the top right of the page, here: http://gata.org/

Also, be sure to sign up for a free two week trial at www.lemetropolecafe.com and read the daily Midas report by Bill Murphy, the Chairman of GATA, to really learn what's going on in the gold world.

The major systemic story in the gold world is that gold is often leveraged 50 to 100 to one. This means that the major banks and brokerages will trade, or sell, up to 50 to 100 oz. of gold for every 1 oz. that they have in their possession. This is similar to fractional reserve banking, which they also do, where they will only have $1 of cash on deposit to back up, up to $100 worth of deposits at their bank. This fraud only works so long as people are too scared to take delivery, and guard their own cash or metals. Every now and then, people wake up, and demand their cash or metals. The difference with metal is that there is no "lender of last resort", like with the Federal reserve who can print money to bail out the banks. The new mine supply of metal is simply not enough to cover the amount of metal on deposits. But what's worse, is that nations have printed up hundreds of times as much paper money, more than the gold that ultimately backs up their currencies. Gold no longer backs up Federal Reserve notes, and even if it did, US gold has not been audited in the last 50 years, and even if it exists, it would provide only about a 1% backing to the currency. (Hence, the 100 to 1 leverage).

The second major development in the gold world is that this week, Venezuela is now trying to obtain their gold, from out of major western financial institutions that might not have the gold.

Venezuela is trying to obtain 99 tonnes of gold from the Bank of England. The Bank of England sold half their own gold, selling about 250 tonnes out of 500 tonnes, around 1999-2001 back at $250/oz. to suppress the gold price, and to "earn" an interest rate on foreign currencies. The Bank of England might not even have Venezuela's gold!

I wonder if Venezuela is considering a military response to institutions like JP Morgan if they are not paid back?

Remember, it was France who broke the back of the gold manipulation in 1971, by trying to convert gold certificates into real gold. Back then, the certificates were called US Dollars! That event started gold on it's bull market move from $35/oz. to $850/oz.

If history is any guide, gold might begin a major move up over 25 times, up to about $40,000/oz. over the next ten years now.

Here's another two authors who are predicting a similar move in the gold price, due to outstanding fundamentals such as supply and demand of both gold and all kinds of paper money:

TOO LATE TO JUMP ON THE GOLDWAGON?

As always, I think silver remains the better investment, better than gold, because so much silver has been utterly consumed and lost due to industrial demand as it is the best conductor of electricity, better even than gold.

Now is the perfect time to buy either silver or gold.
