Some facts:
> smart money has been moving into silver and gold – Bill Gates owns over 10% of Pan American Silver (likely to be the largest primary silver miner in the world) – Warren Buffett bought 120 million ounces of silver in 1997
> Russia has announced that it is increasing its reserve holdings of gold
> articles have been published in China suggesting that the 600 ton gold reserve be increased to 2500 tons in the short term and 3000 tons in the long term (Chinese media is still state controlled)
> significant amounts of gold are purchased by Indians for dowrys and wealth preservation (they haven’t been fooled by the fiat currency BS) – and the Indians have been becoming increasingly wealthy in recent years as they have replaced the US work force – Indians also buy and hold silver for wealth preservation
> Chinese citizens are buying gold for wealth preservation – the state-run department stores are selling more and more small golden ornaments and statuettes as the Chinese people become more wealthy (bullion markets in China are still limitted)
Some speculation:
> huge profits in oil are moving into silver and gold – oil countries have HUGE profits over the last two years (and that’s ‘HUGE’ with all capital letters!)
> Iran knows it is about to be bombed so it is re-arranging its finances for war conditions
> people with connections (power circles in politics and business that currently run the western world) know the US dollar is at the end of its lifespan and are moving into silver and gold before the collapse (which is likely to be quick when it happens) – why have six reserve bank presidents resigned in the past two years? these are prestige jobs that bankers strive for their whole careers and all of the sudden six of them retire? makes me go ‘hmm, interesting’
> people with connections have been told that the US is about to bomb Iran so they are re-arranging their finances for war conditions
> people like me are putting 2 and 2 together and realizing that it adds up to 4 – and 4 means protect any assets you have and the best protection is silver and gold (as it has been for at least the past 5000 years)
