“This Decade will be the Decade of
Silver.”
Eric Sprott
This
decade increasingly offers the opportunity to Profit and Protect Wealth
provided one is aware of Key Realities that are Veiled from common view.
One
such Veiled (except to a few, including most readers here) Reality is that
the Price of Silver (and Gold) is subject to ongoing Cartel (Note 3) Price Suppression
operations. Given that the demand for Physical Silver exceeds Mine
Production, these Price Suppression actions create bargain Silver prices for
those willing to buy Physical and Hold through volatility.
“The
manipulation is giving silver investors a double-barrelled
bonanza. One, a cheap price to buy at than would otherwise be the case and,
two, a much higher price to sell at once the manipulation is ended.”
Ted Butler, Silver
Analyst
Thus,
knowledge of The Veiled Reality – Silver Price Manipulation causing
unnaturally low Silver prices temporarily – provides considerable
Profit and Wealth Protection potential. Another way of regarding the Veiled
Reality Approach is through the Prism of the George Soros’ comment.
“Find a Trend
whose Premise is False and Bet Against It”
A
(False) premise is the Veil which covers The Reality – the
“True” Premise.
Another
Reality which is veiled is the Universe of Real Statistics (vis-à-vis
Official Statistics). Official Statistics are often Bogus, particularly in the
US, but elsewhere also. Consider, for example, the Non-Farm Payroll Figure
for March, 2012 released Friday, April 6.
The
Official BLS Release reported a rise of 120,000 (itself a disappointing
80,000 below prior Establishment Estimates). In fact the rise was only a mere
30,000. The other 90,000 can be accounted for by a totally made-up number,
the (Bureau of Labor Statistics) CESBD Birth-Death adjustment, by which it is
assumed that new business startups created 90,000 jobs. This
Birth-Death Fiction is the Veil that covers the Reality of a mere
30,000 rise in U.S. Non-Farm Payroll.
The
Reality is that 150,000 New Jobs need to be created in the U.S. every month
just to keep up with U.S. population growth (90% of which is Immigration
generated). Similarly, Real U.S. Inflation is 10.45% per shadowstats.com (see
Note 1). Thus our High Yield Portfolio aims for a Total Return (Gain + Yield)
in excess of Real Inflation (see Note 2).
Thus
these Veils hide The Realities. As the Real Inflation and other figures show,
the U.S. is already on the Hyperinflationary Threshold, is not recovering
economically, and has declining job creation.
Finally,
an increasingly-less-veiled, but extremely important Reality, is that of Debt
Saturation, and not just that of the PIIGS, but also of France, Great
Britain, and the USA. Sovereign Debts of these Nations simply cannot be
repaid under any reasonably likely economic scenario. Indeed, Spanish and
Italian 10yr. Note Yields have been approaching the Ominous 6% again, a sign “The Market” recognizes the fact
that these Sovereign Debts are not payable.
Therefore
they likely will be inflated away via ever greater waves of Central Bank
Money Printing (see Deepcaster’s Article
“The Hooker-Opportunity” from 3/23/2012 posted in ‘Articles
by Deepcaster’ for details).
And
this will eventually bring Hyperinflation in Essential Tangible Assets and
the P.M.’s. (Already we have seen this in Food and Energy.)
Thus
the Central Banks Cartel will attempt to retain power through ever increasing
Money Printing and loan restructuring.
Consider:
“We've all heard
the old adage about adding insult to injury but the IMF has turned it into an
art form. The new IMF Director, Christine Lagarde,
came to Washington this week begging for yet more billions so the fund can
continue propping up insolvent European banks and wrapping developing
countries around the globe in debt chains. …Lagarde
didn't mention this in her speech, but she did assure the crowd that at the
IMF “your money is used prudently.”
“The only thing
that is remarkable about this is that the public is expected to believe it.
No one who has any understanding of the IMF's past or how it operates would
expect that these funds to be used in any other way than they always have
been: as leverage over the governments that sign their peoples on to debt
servitude.
“The fallout
from these operations is invariably the same. The people figure out that
they've been footed with the bill for someone else's party and the riots
begin.
“These types of
protests aren't merely predictable, they're part of
the plan. The IMF and World Bank documents that leaked out in 2001 detailed
the four step plan for looting a country, including the “IMF
riot” stage. People take to the streets to protest the austerity
measures that are tied to the IMF loans, causing foreign capital to flee,
governments to go bankrupt, and foreign speculators to pick up the pieces at
fire sale prices. The riots happened in Indonesia in 1998. And Bolivia in
2000. And Ecuador and Argentina in 2001. What's happening in Europe is not an
exact analogue, and it's aimed at centralizing power in the EU in Brussels
and the ECB in Frankfurt, but that the IMF has seen the crisis as an excuse
to get its foot in Europe's door as a lender is particularly telling.
“This is how the
game is played…”
“Triggering
Economic Disaster: the Insidious Role of the International Monetary
Fund”
James Corbett,
International Forecaster, 4/8/2012
We
have not reviewed the “documents leaked out in 2001,” so we do
not know whether Corbett’s characterization is entirely correct. But
what is indisputable is the Power of the International Mega-Bankers, an
important Veiled (but increasingly less so) Reality.
What
is also clear is that The Outcome will not be pretty.
We
have been recommending (see Note 2) High Yield Dividend Paying Stocks and
Gold for many months now.
There
is wisdom in the Boy Scout Motto: “Be Prepared.”

*Shadowstats.com calculates Key Statistics the way they were calculated in the
1980s and 1990s before Official Data Manipulation began in earnest. Consider
Bogus Official Numbers vs. Real
Numbers (per Shadowstats.com)
Annual U.S. Consumer Price Inflation reported January 19, 2012
2.96% / 10.57% (annualized December, 2011 Rate)
U.S. Unemployment reported February 3, 2012
8.3% / 22.5%
U.S. GDP Annual Growth/Decline reported January 27, 2012

U.S. M3 reported February 13, 2012 (Month of December, Y.O.Y.)
No Official Report / 3.87%
And Official Source Disinformation
continues, consider Shadowstats comments on the
January 6, 2012 release of U.S. Employment data:
“The
reported seasonally-adjusted 200,000 jobs surge in December 2011 payrolls
included a false, seasonally-adjusted gain of roughly 42,000 in the
“Couriers and Messengers” category. That gain was an artifact of
the seasonal-adjustment process and will remove itself in the January 2012
numbers.
“The
problem is that this 42,000 gain is part of a seasonal pattern that fully
reverses itself each January…”

Note3: “A
Great Opportunity and A Dangerous Trap; Forecasts: Gold, Silver, Equities,
Crude Oil, U.S. Dollar, U.S. T-Notes, T- Bonds, & Interest Rates”
– February Letter
“The
Fed doesn’t have a clue about markets or economics. They are dangerous
people.
Printing money is not good for the world and will lead to more problems for
the world….
“What the Federal Reserve is doing now is ruining an entire class of
investors.”
Jim Rogers, Bloomberg Interview, 6/29/11
We are not so Negative about the Near-Term Prospects for Nominal
Asset Price Growth in Certain Sectors as we were six months or
a year ago.
That is mainly because the E.U., Mega-Banks, and the Fed, have already de facto
launched a Massive Quantitative Easing 3, with more likely to come.
This QE will serve as a Major Force impelling (but not necessarily
successfully) Nominal Asset Prices UP in certain Sectors, for example,
for Equities.
But before one becomes too enthusiastic about the Prospects one should
consider the implications of our Forecast for Nominal Assets Prices Strength
in certain Sectors.
The practice of issuing Bogus (U.S. and other Key official) Inflation figures
obscures the Fact that Monetary Inflation (generated mainly by reckless Q.E.)
is very rapidly depreciating the purchasing Power of most Fiat Currencies
– by about 11% per year in the U.S. e.g. (per shadowstats.com).
Our High
Yield Portfolio is aimed at achieving Total Return in excess of Real
Inflation. Stocks in that Portfolio with Recent Yields of 18.5%, 8.6%, 10.6%,
26%, 6.7%, 8%, 10.6%, 10% and 15.6% when they were added to the Portfolio.
Also
important to note is that, while massive Q.E. is a Major Inflationary Force tending
to pump up Prices in certain sectors, there are Powerful Deflationary forces
operating as well – the depreciating Housing Markets in the U.S. and
China come to mind. Real Estate in some areas in China is down over 25%, but
Food prices are up 9% year over year.
The key to identifying The Great Opportunities (and Great Potential Losses) is knowing which Sectors will likely have Inflating
Asset Prices and which will have Deflating ones.
Investors failing to Evaluate Inflation/Deflation Prospects on a Sector by
Sector Basis will have missed Great Opportunities and fallen into a
Dangerous Trap.
Deepcaster’s Letter --“A Great
Opportunity and A Dangerous Trap; Forecasts: Gold, Silver, Equities, Crude
Oil, U.S. Dollar, U.S. T-Notes, T- Bonds, & Interest Rates; February
Letter” -- posted in the ‘Latest Letter & Archives’
Cache at www.deepcaster.com, identifies
which Sectors will likely be helped (albeit temporarily) by this Massive QE3
and which will likely be hurt, and provides Forecasts for all. And in his
March Letter, “The Pause Before The Great Bull; 3 Buy Recos! Forecasts: Gold, Silver, Equities, Crude Oil, U.S.
Dollar/Euro, U.S. T-Notes, T- Bonds, & Interest Rates, March
Letter”, Deepcaster makes 3 Buy
Recommendations designed for Protection and Profit.
