All Paper is STILL a short position on gold  |
| The gold derivatives pyramid is a vigorous free market creature. It cannot be put down with a simple declaration that the paper is no longer redeemable in gold, as governments did with currency. It is a short selling scheme that has become a trap from which few short sellers will escapeFriday, April 17, 2020 |

| What’s Happening (or Not) at the LBMA: Some Updates |
| This article is in 3 parts and covers a) upcoming trade reporting in the London gold market which is being led by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), b) the recent publication by the LBMA of a Guide to the London OTC precious metals markets, and c) an update on monthly vault reporting which the LBMA and the Bank of England launched in 2017.

The lack of trade reporting in the London gold market is possibly one of the biggest ommissions in global financial markets, sThursday, February 1, 2018 |

| Wow, I can hardly believe it's been nine years. Where the heck has the time gone, and where the heck is Freegold? ;D
A little more than two years ago, I changed format to an NFF (not-for-free) blog in order to keep me enthused and engaged, and more importantly, to keep out the trolls. I wished FOA had done that rather than quitting, so that's how I view it. I have hundreds of subscribers, and when they quit, so will I. The Freegold Speakeasy now has 100 posts and 20,000 comments.

| Is the COMEX Rigged |
| The COMEX gold futures market and the London OTC gold market have a joint monopoly on setting the international gold price. This is because these two markets generate the largest ‘gold’ trading volumes and have the highest ‘liquidity’. However, this price setting dominance is despite either of these two markets actually trading physical gold bars. Both markets merely trade different forms of derivatives of gold bars.
Overall, the COMEX (which is owned by the CME Group) is even more dominant thatTuesday, July 18, 2017 |

| What sets the Gold Price – Is it the Paper Market or Physical Market |
| The following article is arranged in Question and Answer (Q & A) format. Through the Q & A approach, this article raises some important issues about price discovery in the gold markets and aims to explain the view that the gold price is being set by the paper gold markets.
BullionStar’s CEO Torgny Persson and precious metals analyst Ronan Manly are of the opinion that due to the structure of contemporary gold markets, it is primarily trading activity in the paper gold markets which sets the inteThursday, March 30, 2017 |

| 42 Years of Fractional Reserve Alchemy - Craig Hemke |
| It has now been 42 years since The Global
Bankers successfully alchemized gold through the advent of futures
trading so we begin the new year by looking back at how we got into this
position in the first place.
To that end, let's start 2017 by going back to 1974.
Over the past few years, you've often heard me
reference the HISTORY and FACT of gold price suppression and
manipulation. Whenever it comes up in an interview or presentation, it
often goes like this:

| The USDJPY and the "Price Of Gold" - Craig Hemke |
| Well, we've finally reached "contract
expiration" day as the Dec16 Comex gold and silver contracts go off the
board and into "delivery" at the close today. With total Comex open
interest now back to the levels of last December, could price finally be
near a bottom? As usual, we must look at the USDJPY for clues.
As of last evening, total Dec16 Comex gold open
interest was down to just 30,773 contracts and about 50-60% of those
will be liquidated and closed out today, leaving 10,000-15,000 Wednesday, November 30, 2016 |

| Money Always Moves from Weak Hands ... |
| Precious metals expert Bob Moriarty advises investors on how they can avoid the disinformation and invest with the smart money.
Over the last 15 years I have come to realize just how much disinformation and simply bad information there is available to readers of financial matters. Much of what you watch and hear is simply wrong. People wonder why they consistently lose money and it's simple. The best-informed investor is the most profitable investor. BuSunday, July 3, 2016 |

| Brexit Drives Gold Frenzy - Keith Weiner |
| The big news this week was that the British voted to exit
the European Union. This was not the outcome expected by pundits, or the polls.
“Risk on” assets were relentlessly bid up prior to the vote.
For example, S&P 500 index futures had closed the previous Friday, June 17,
at 2059. This Thursday, prior to the vote, they were up 60.5 or 2.9%, to
2119.50.
The British pound began its run up a day earlier than the
S&P, closing at $1.42 on Thursday, June 16. This Thursday it was up to a
high of $1.5Monday, June 27, 2016 |

| Comex Gold Open Interest - Craig Hemke |
| In defending their long held short positions,
the Comex Banks have now issued enough new contracts to drive total open
interest back to levels not seen since 2011. Will they be successful in
capping price or are they about to get a religious experience? We're
about to find out.
Let's start with the basics so that we're all on the same page....

makers" on the Comex. In doing so, they have the ability to create new

| Do ETFs’ Flows Drive the Gold Price |
| What are ETFs? The ETFs, or Exchange-Traded Funds, are funds that track indices, commodities or securities. The ETF shares are securities that closely resemble the yield and return of its native index, but – unlike mutual funds units – can be traded just like common stocks. The gold ETFs are a special type of ETFs that track the price of gold. The ETFs are backed by physical bullion (or gold derivative contracts), but investors do not own any gold and they cannot even redeem their shares in goldFriday, April 8, 2016 |

| Gold Cup and Handle From the Prior Leg of the Bull Market |
| As a reminder, here is what a 'successeful' activation and execution of a cup and handle formation looks like.
And as another reminder perhaps, this particular bull rally was later ruthlessly crushed by an avalanche of synthetic gold derivative selling.Monday, February 29, 2016 |

| NAV Premiums of Certain Precious Metal Trusts and Funds - Capture and Crash |
| The gold/silver ratio is about 80 which is historically very high.
I believe that this is attributable to the price leadership of gold because of a flight to safety from economic uncertainty and policy errors such as negative interest rates.
Further, I believe that there is a looming short squeeze in the physical gold market which, if unaddressed by reforms and market pricing, will cause a dislocation in the global bullion markets.
I am obviously less certain about the second reason, but thTuesday, February 23, 2016 |

| Yes, you heard that right, the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s (OCC) latest quarterly report show a reduction in total precious metal derivatives from $106,293 million to $75,620 million. This is at odds with Zero Hedge’s post first, ask questions later approach where they say that there was a “237% increase in the total amount of precious metals (which include gold) contracts in the quarter”.
