It's Over

Wallace, Idaho (5th April 2006) – It’s over. There is no more bear party: their party has ended. Their musical chairs are not emitting music anymore. Anyone with any sense has sat down. The paradigm shift has, well, it has shifted. If you want that one last chair, and love to gamble, then hold out for $9 silver or $500 gold. Otherwise, acquire all you can at $11 or $600, grab a chair and call it a good day’s work.

Divest yourself of any company with a hedge book. Flee from the shorts and the derivatives, the liars and the thieves. They may have made you money in the short run, but in the long run they will kill you. Hide behind a metal shield as any good warrior from Egyptian times forward has learnt to do, and do it quickly. Aim straight and fire true the first time. Or at least fire first. You can always re-aim while your enemy is trying to figure out where you came from.

Expect some violent corrections, as a market change of this magnitude is not without its turbulence. It’s why they put seat-belts in airplanes. You will attain your advertised cruising altitude, but not without a bit of chop along the way.

Does this mean silver has nowhere else but up to go? No. The tea leaves tell us we’re in for a nasty and violent correction, perhaps as early as next week. Look for a test of $8.50 or even $7. But because we are in a bull market, this correction, however violent, will be brief. We got out of the March doldrums unscathed, but don’t think there’s not a payback coming our way.

Try to buy physical silver right now at $10, or even $11. The cheap stuff’s gone. Maybe all gone. The Arabs and the Russians and the Chinese are converting their paper US cash into something fungible. This is not about the Hunts cornering the market. It’s about real people who are selling their real assets, and who want something real in return. They are far beyond the reach of the Federal Reserve this time – unlike the Hunts, who played by the Fed’s rules and got screwed by the CFTC.

The fundamentals are piling up. There is huge leverage to this market, even with a crash down to $7. Get it now, while it’s cheap. The Fednote is in a graveyard spiral from which there is no recovery. The world has figured out that printing presses cannot make gold, silver or gasoline.
