i'm not aware of what assaying entails, but they could theoretically exclude the possibility that it's solid gold by submerging it in water and dividing volume by mass

i have no friends. i'm just watching the market price of metal and the credit culture around me. i'll look into that though. if metal moves enough i'm sure the forensic accounting will emerge accurately and quickly.

also: in their annual reports, most central banks report "gold and gold receivables" as one item. have i personally read any central bank annual reports? i never considered it a priority until i started having a stake to protect and the mkt started demanding gold in the high 500's. it's...

thats a good question it may take me some time to find a solid answer, but for starters the report states that IMF guidelines for central bank accounting of gold reserves don't discriminate between the amount of gold remaining in their vaults and the amount that has been leased or swapped...

very interesting tomcole, thanks, it sounds like i don't have the details firm on what i've been reading. the book you recommend sounds good most of the working knowledge i've been discussing on the gold carry and underreported central bank reserves is lifted from the 2005 Cheuvreux gold...

looks like cbot is publishing gold prices on delay again this morning. don't even try and pretend a major US financial center has problems publishing data without transmission delays in this day and age. data lag is so 1996

it was all fine until gold started moving vertically through 595, then whammo .. everything frozen

Is anyone else experiencing extremely heavy delays and mismatched pricing between platforms on ZGM06 this morning? The prices on my ts chart don't match IB by a wide margin It looks like silver is essentially frozen as well. gold keeps jumping up and down. paints a very pretty picture, but...

Has anyone ever taken physical delivery on a precious metals contract? Seems ultimately like an accurately priced way to get a highly standardized supply, but I don't believe retail brokers facilitate delivery. I know at least one doesn't, they actually want you out of your gold contracts a...

what demographic trend created this handful of old white guys willing to go to any length to put down 'liberals' you're a distant product of McCarthyism or something. check your water and your precious bodily fluids

fascinating trade he's made. could this be construed in any way as throwing good money after bad on a thus far unsuccessful dollar short? now all of a sudden he's betting 14B that everything will be peachy is it possible his reputational equity is being tapped and spent by a larger entity?
