The last event the Banksters want to deal with is the masses hoarding the metals.... hoarding would\will destroy the fractional leverage that is suspected to be 100:1 +.... for every PHYSICAL ounce of gold & silver, there is 100 ozs of PAPER metal.... the 100 ozs of paper metals represent leveraged credit that the Banks earn interest on..... the Banksters keep the metals prices volatile to prevent the general public from entering the market and demanding delivery. The GLD & SLV ETF's were created for this reason among others... namely to keep their levered paper credit game from being exposed.... These ETF's remind me of the 1990's S & L collapse, "cash out, checks in" scheme, only its "cash in, metals out" this go around! Simply put, when general public demands delivery & bankster accountability, a massive credit\derivative collapse & default will occur, as there simply isnt enuff above-ground available SOURCE to cover 100:1 leverage.... we will rue the coming days when AU & AG move limit up.... you dont buy insurance to wreck ur car, its for "just in case," the same mentality should be applied to the metals... and like insurance you better have the written policy in ur hands, you paid for it, so if u own the metals, you better have the physical insurance policy in ur hands too! $3300+ gold? careful what u wish for, u just might get it, but I assure u, u wont like it!
