re AVCT yes its a positive article but it got me looking again at AVCT. I am reading around the story just now thinking there is a trade there. This maybe near a bottom and it will rise as optimism returns.

That's the thing digger holding gold is a position its not a would/could thing. If you are holding physical gold why are you doing it and what do you hope to achieve? The outlook most goldbugs I have spoke to are preparing for is the collapse of the $/(and other western currencies) which is a viable thought. However how does gold help you when governments will try and stop anyone escaping the collapse and want to do everything possible to support their currency which includes banning gold which as I pointed out is something that has happened previously.
I put all my arguments as may or possible but logically this is where we are going. Trying to see if there is another view point. As I said its a debate, I am trying to be open to ideas from those that hold gold but cannot see the point.

Matt

I think you will find the printing will become quicker as the USD devalues ie the USD as devalued already by 20% in the last 3 yrs so your 100 days will be soon 50 days.

Biden is not about to cut spending so safe to assume USA debt will keep increasing at that rate of $1Trn every 100 days between now and 5th November.
Trump is not the sort of person to reign in Fiscal expenditure either so, arguably, USA debt pile will simply keep growing at that rate for the next 4 year and 8 months .. circa $16Trn more debt.
That'll be $50Trn by Nov 2028 - getting on for 2 x annual GDP.
For as long as there are buyers (the FED included) they'll simply keep on issuing more and more.
The more 'dangerous' & less appealing USA Foreign Policy can make the rest of the world appear, the greater the number of buyers there will be for 'safe' USA debt.

I see gold as insurance rather than an investment. If you are worried about 'compulsory purchase', buy Krugers or other (non-US) coins.

Pogue - interesting article on AVCT, the problem with these type of synopses is that they take the “story” on face value alone. That’s not usually a good idea…

Mentions NSCI, also an interesting proposition with their stake in PDS.

[digger18] 03/3/2024 17:35

I was referring to the value of buying/ holding gold! Ie what would/could, may/May not governments do based on scenarios that you suggested. So I am saying, it’s out of our control and you make your own choices, but either way, not worth worrying about.

[pogue] 03/3/2024 16:40

Its called a debate Digger and its about commodities not seeing why I should be sad or suicidal as you seem to indicate for some reason. Thanks for your concern.
Take care.

[digger18] 03/3/2024 13:21

Ifs, buts, would’ve, could’ve, should’ve and maybes. Sounds like investing in the stock market and life in general!
Don’t take it too seriously or you could end up doing something sad!
Enjoy your Sunday!!

Good morning all, Cheers Wan :-)

That is not going to happen again .. just about every US citizen now has an automatic weapon of some sort or anther.
Can you really imagine Texans giving up their Gold?

[pogue] 03/3/2024 00:06

Wan
gold has proven not to be safe in the past
'In 1933, Executive Order 6102 had made it a criminal offense for U.S. citizens to own or trade gold anywhere in the world, with exceptions for some jewelry and collector's coins. These prohibitions were relaxed starting in 1964 – gold certificates were again allowed for private investors on April 24, 1964, although the obligation to pay the certificate holder on demand in gold specie would not be honored. By 1975, Americans could again freely own and trade gold.'

"you can't have a currency operating out there with a sovereign currency and hold its value indefinitely"

"bitcoin is riskier than gold in the sense that there is a non zero chance that the investment gets heavily disrupted in some way, whereas with gold you know that by the end of the decade you're still going to have it"

Alistair Macleod highlighted something interesting on Friday regarding the number of Gold contracts which stood for delivery:

"The stand-out feature is the acceleration of deliveries — 2,005 gold contracts were stood for delivery this week, making the total for February 18,118 contracts, representing over 1.81 million ounces (56.35 tonnes). In silver, yesterday the figure was a huge 2,858 contracts of 5,000 ounces each (444.47 tonnes), making the total for February 563 tonnes. When Comex set up these contracts, this was never expected; contracts were meant to be closed at expiry and delivery was the notional means of tying the paper contract to the metal.

This problem has been building for some time. The question which arises is where is it all going? We know that central banks are adding to their reserves, and for some of the minor ones a Comex contract allows them to jump the queue for delivery from the refiners. To this we can almost certainly add ultra-high net worth individuals and their family offices, not so much in the west, but one suspects in Asia, where new billionaires are being created: think India. Chinese demand continues apace, where deliveries out of the Shanghai Gold Exchange in January were a whopping 271tonnes, only the second highest figure to 285.5 tonnes in July 2015. In the last twelve months, these deliveries totalled 3,344 tonnes which is approximately annual global goldmine output."



I had not fully appreciated or thought abut how a paper contract may be used by some to 'jump the queue' for delivery from refiners .. presumably those holding the contract and then standing for delivery at the contract end are doing so with a firm belief that the future price, beyond the contract end date, is going to be higher and/or that acquiring the phyiscal gold on the open market may be more difficult / more competitive in the future than it is today.

I wonder if those that run COMEX may start to identify paper contract buyers who they believe intend to stand for delivery and introduce some sort of action that restricts their ability to buy the contracts in the first place. I believe historically they have time-to-time tried jacking up the margin rates to try and restrict buyer's size.

I suspect some of the Gold price strength may be related the March 11th end date for the Bank Term Funding Program.
Once this facility ends, those financial instiututions that were using the program to mask mark to market valutions for under-water Treasuries and MBS are likely to be in trouble if they have not managed (over the intervening 12 months) to improve their liquidity positions, particularly if the FED does not cut rates as is widely anticipated this year.

It will be more than just interesting to see what happens once the BTFP end in just nine days time & whether or not its ending precipitates another round of tension in the banking sector in turn forcing the FED's hand in either cutting rates (earlier than inflaiton may indicate is necessary) and/or introducing some new scheme to again prop up the banking sector.

yes, listened to that DP ... she is a bright woman. She did not write-off / dismiss Gold, more viewing it as the time-proven long-term store of value.

I do think the Gold/Bitcoin debate has a reasonable overlay to age demographics.

Gold's Friday close looks a notable one on a Weekly closing basis:
