You believe statements made by central banks... enough said.

and you believe the words of an alarmist website that is basing their article on imagination, along with the conversations you conjured up from thin air.


I'll take reality over paranoia (zerohedge) and inventive imagination, thank you very much.

When more countries clamour for their gold reserves and the price spikes to ridiculous levels, I will come back to this thread and say "I told you so".

the price spike can happen regardless. check the charts over the last few years. It won't be any indication of the german bank's timeline for repatriation.

The gold bull market started in 2001 precisely when Germany secretly repatriated their gold from the London central bank. I predict that we will see another substantial move in the very near term as the Fed and the central bank in France start acquiring the gold that needs to be moved to Germany.

and the rising prices can be directly tied to a few things. The tech bubble bursting. 9/11. the real estate bubble bursting. the banking crisis and Mr. Alex Jones. You know him, right. He's been jabbering on and on about the need to own gold for the shtf scenario that is coming. He talks about the importance of gold while talking about the economic doom that's coming and, oh yeah, he also owns a stake in the company that sponsors his show. Know what they sell?

Give you a hint.


It's gold.



That's right, check the price of gold with his audience growth. These two charts are identical.


Because selling doom and gloom and then selling the very product you are saying will be your only salvation works.

People do not need to sell doom for gold to sell, most sovereign nations are doing a great job of advancing the price of gold on their own through currency devaluation. You have now shown your hand and also your limited knowledge of what is really going on behind the scenes in the gold market. Please let the grown ups do the talking on this particular subject.

continuing to ignore facts and insult my intelligence is an incredible way to win a debate.


it's clear that the utilization of facts is something you don't do but, as the saying goes, never let the truth get in the way of a good story, right?

On the contrary, you appear to be someone who spends a lot of time reading, and believing, everything on the internet. Sometimes, the truth is as stated. Until you can accept the fact that everything isn't a conspiracy, that, from time to time, the story is as told, you will continue to fear everyone and everything. It's a shame, really, because you seem like an intelligent guy and wasting that intelligence on articles authored to promote doom and gloom, regardless of the truth is sad.

If the subject is fantasy conspiracies, yes, you are correct. I admit, I am grounded in reality, I understand truth when I see it and I don't hear faux conversations in my head.

My verbal barrage is only limited by your willingness to look like a fool.

You have no idea about the precious metals market.

So, to recap, I posted facts and you have called me a chump and made multiple references to my intelligence, along with claiming that I don't know anything about precious metals.


I can see how, in your imagination, that would qualify as a debate but, sadly, for those of us who are rational thinkers, facts are important and in this case, the Bundesbank stated they planned on repatriating a portion of their US held gold, and all of their French held gold, over the next 7 years. Everything else is nothing more than assumption and imagination based on more assumptions and more imagined ideas.


Your constant attacks on my character, knowledge and intellect expose you for what you are. The more you call me names, the worse your debate looks.

Refuting facts by calling me names is the last resort of a failed debate.

Okay, you are obviously a little slow so I will try to explain it clearly. No one on here is trying to say that it takes 7 years to move that much gold from point A to point B. The issue is that the Germans want their gold back and are being told it will take 7 years for them to get it, understand so far?

The question is why. If we are holding 300 tons of German gold and they want it back why not just load it on a ship and send it to them. The obvious answer is that WE DON'T HAVE IT!!!! That is the conspiracy here.

on the contrary, as even CNJ will tell you, the fed never said it would take them 7 years to turn the gold over to Germany. (except in those made up conversations).

The concept of the US government telling Germany it was going to take 7 years is an assumption.

The actual deadline comes from the Bundesbank's own announcement about the repatriation. As to the reason, we have the german bank's saying it would take 7 years and we have the conspiracy theorists saying this is a result of the gold not being in the vault.

The only people who know the reason for the 7 year time frame are folks at Bundesbank that made the statement.
