Bix Weir ~ Bang: JP Morgan Exposed Selling 99.3% Of All Comex Physical Gold In Last 3 Months!

RoadtoRoota April 26 2013

Well, well. The walls are crumbling all around the Bad Guys!

Jamie Dimon Has Issues (or Meet the Idiot Selling Gold)

“Somebody should explain to the blathering numbskulls at CNBC that when just one firm accounts for 99.3% of the physical gold sales at the COMEX in the last three months it’s not what most of us on this side of the rainbow would consider “broad-based” selling. Of course discovering this kind of relevant information requires an internet connection, 2nd grade math and reading skills, and the desire to do a teeny-weeny bit of reporting. Sadly they’ve wandered so far down the rabbit hole that the concept of “physical demand” (i.e. people actually wanting to take possession of the stuff) is puzzling to them because the vast majority of the world’s so-called “gold-trading” takes place in the realm of make believe (which is their natural habitat). It’s all fun and games until somebody loses their metal and “somebody” has lost one hell of a lot of metal in the last 90 days.”

Greg Hunter ~ Is Silver Manipulation Case Being Dropped?

USA Watchdog | August 7 2012

Lots of news out this week about the silver manipulation case being dropped by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) with zero action.  The first of several stories was put out by the Financial Times on Monday.  FT.com reported,

“A four-year investigation into the possible manipulation of the silver market looks increasingly likely to be dropped after US regulators failed to find enough evidence to support a legal case, according to three people familiar with the situation.  The Commodity Futures Trading Commission first announced that it was investigating “complaints of misconduct in the silver market” in September 2008, following a barrage of allegations of manipulation from a group of precious metals investors.  In 2010, Bart Chilton, a CFTC commissioner, said that he believed there had been “fraudulent efforts” to “deviously control” the silver price.  But after taking advice from two external consultancies, the first of which found irregularities on certain trading dates that it believed deserved more analysis, CFTC staff do not have sufficient evidence to bring a case, according to the people familiar with the situation. The agency’s five commissioners have not yet formally determined the outcome of the investigation, leaving the possibility that staff could be instructed to dig deeper. A CFTC spokesman said: “The investigation has not reached its conclusion.” He declined further comment.” (Click here for the complete FT.com story.)

Bart Chilton ~ FT Report That CFTC To Drop Silver Investigation Is ‘Inaccurate & Premature.’ ‘There Have Been Devious Efforts To Move Price Of Silver’

Silver Doctors | August 6 2012

BREAKING ~ When we first learned Sunday night that the FT was reporting that the CFTC was dropping their 4 year silver investigation, The Doc contacted CFTC Commissioner Bart Chilton for his take and role in the decision.

Just like Usain Bolt at the 2011 World Championships, it appears that the FT has jumped the gun. Commissioner Chilton has informed us that ‘The Financial Times report related to silver is not only premature, but inaccurate in several respects‘.

As to whether Chilton believes the silver market has been manipulated the Commissioner informed us:

“I continue to believe, consistent with my previous statements to which you referred, and based upon information from the public, that there have been devious efforts related to moving the price of silver. Incidentally, I also believe there have been silver and gold market anomalies outside of the silver investigate window that have raised, and continue to raise, market concerns.”

The Doc’s full correspondence with Commissioner Chilton is included below:

Commissioner Chilton,
