Price Destruction In Gold & Silver Will Be A Distant Memory
On the heels of the surge in gold and silver, today acclaimed money manager Stephen Leeb told King World News the price destruction we have seen in gold and silver will soon be a distant memory. Leeb also spoke with KWN about the desperation by the West to suppress the price of gold and how it is about to fail.
Leeb: “My thoughts are that Bernanke surprised me last night. He came across as very dovish, and this is a man that knows exactly what he is doing. He doesn’t speak without thinking about what he is saying and what affect it will have. So you have to ask yourself, why was he so concerned about getting across a message that the Fed is still quite dovish, and highly likely to continue for quite some time with QE?....
So
it’s getting tougher and tougher for the West, and I believe that gold
has made a bottom. When you saw that one day when gold trade under
$1,200, and then reversed and came back up, that’s the bottom. The only
question now is when does this next leg higher in the secular bull
market really begin to take off? When the price of gold really starts
to surge there are so many shorts that need to be covered.

So you have to ask yourself, why was he so concerned about getting across a message that the Fed is still quite dovish, and highly likely to continue for quite some time with QE?....
“There are a couple
of reasons: One is the economy is not nearly as strong as what has been
painted in the press. So the economy is still in recession. The other
concern Bernanke has is that the U.S. dollar has been very strong. Any
suggestion of cutting back has seen the dollar surge and that is not
what the Fed wants. So the Fed is trying to talk the dollar down.
In
that environment, how can investors not be bullish on real stores of
value? Whenever a country’s currency strengthens, they immediately do
whatever they can to bring the value of their currency down. So gold
and silver are starting to surge once again.
I
have to tell you that I don’t think the West has given up yet on trying
to hold gold down. But right now you have backwardation in gold and
that’s rarely ever seen. This is only seen when there is a shortage of
gold. Where is that shortage of gold? In the West.
So I
definitely think this rally in gold has some legs, but the West may
still put up a fight. The will try to talk the dollar down and still
keep gold prices under control. But I think it’s a question of months
before they capitulate on both gold and silver. There is a continued
flow of gold from West to East, and now you have three countries in
Europe fighting to be major hubs of yuan trading. We also just recently
saw another huge Chinese accumulation of gold. That’s why the West is
short of physical gold here.
