Silver Market Updates
(BIS DATA IGNORED, Our New Low Prices, our TV ad, Ron Paul, etc.)
Silver Stock Report
by Jason Hommel, December 21st, 2009
Once again, the BIS data on derivatives is totally ignored by all gold
and silver market participants and commentators. Nobody mentioned
this new BIS data update from my last newsletter.
The BIS
data proves the huge extent of the fraud in the banking system,
particularly in all forms of paper silver accounts.
The "other
precious metals" derivatives notional value, which are mostly all silver,
(but also tiny amounts of platinum and palladium) grew, over the last 6
months, from $96 billion to $203 billion, for an increase of $107
billion.
But the size of the silver market cannot be significantly
larger than annual production, which stands at about 600 million ounces, x
$17/oz. = $10 billion.
Simple question: How can the banks of
the world, owe $107 billion more in brand new "mostly silver"
derivatives positions over a 6 month time frame, given that world annual
production stands at a mere $10 billion, without that silver being mostly
all fraud?

Scroll
to the last chart.
This "paper silver selling" is fraud, it is
inflation, it is hyperinflation, it diverts investment demand away from
real physical silver.
This paper silver selling suppresses
real silver prices.
If you own such paper silver, you are acting to
help suppress silver prices, and you are actively working against your own
best interests, as you are directly lending to the very people who are
short selling silver.
Many people ask me, "When will the short
selling of silver end?" It will end when you, the
collective "you" in the marketplace, stop giving them the silver
to short sell!
I have had many conversations with people who own
this kind of paper silver. They think their bank will not default on
them. They have already defaulted. They just released the
numbers which prove they cannot possibly have the silver.
If any
commercial bank or brokerage house is storing your silver for you, it
is likely NOT THERE, and is likely ALL FRAUD.
Furthermore,
if you are letting any 3rd party hold your silver for you, it is likely
the least safe place to store silver, as all silver held by other people
is likely to be the first form of silver to be confiscated in any sort of
national emergency.
They cannot confiscate what they cannot find,
which is why you must put your silver into your own vault in your own
property. Bolt down the vault from the inside, and consider building
a cabinet of some sort around it, or carpet over it, or put up a wall over
it.
===========
We have new, low prices for gold and
silver. Please check them out at the top of www.silverstockreport.com,
where we have moved our price board to be more visible.
Bullion
price premiums over the bullion prices change frequently due to the
following factors:
Customer popularity and changing market demand
which affects our inventory, our supplier's inventory, our supplier's
prices, our multiple suppliers's minimum volume transactions, market price
volatility, shortages by the US Mint, shortages by the US mint's main
suppliers of silver blanks, shortage of bars available to those coin blank
manufacturers, etc.
Right now, there are two pricing anomalies (something
unusual) to take advantage of.
First, ten ounce silver bars
are cheaper than 100 oz. bars. I don't know why. It may be
that there is a greater supply of 10 oz. bars than 100 oz. bars at the
moment, due to new manufacturing. Usually, the ten ounce bars
are more expensive than 100 oz. bars, and also, usually more
expensive than 1 oz. rounds! So ten ounce bars are a great deal
today.
Second, Gold American Eagles are the same price as
Kruggerands, Maples, and Philharmonics, while they are usually the most
expensive. Right now, there are recurring shortages of
Krugs and Philharmonics, too, while the recent shortage of Eagles appears
to have ended. So the Gold American Eagles are a great deal
today.

Some people ask us on the phone why they
should buy from us, and not other mints or bullion dealers with lower
prices such as NorthWest Territorial Mint or MONEX.
Good
question.
Research our competitors.
Go to Google. Type
in "NorthWest Territorial Mint fraud". Type in "monex
fraud". Type in "kitco fraud". "goldline fraud"
Etc.
Then type in "jason hommel fraud", or "jhmint fraud" or
"silverstockreport fraud". Discover the
difference.
Know your bullion dealer! When deciding to
take delivery, you might as well research the chances that you will
actually receive delivery!
We started bullion dealing in part
because we got disgusted seeing so many of our readers being
defrauded by 6 month delivery delays, or 50% price premiums!
Why is
fraud so rampant in the bullion dealing community? I think it's
because when you order bullion, you are like an unsecured
creditor. Many other dealers abuse this, and use you like
a free credit card application in the mail. We don't.
We are capitalists. We have capital. We use our own
capital. We don't need to float on your money. When you order
from us, we ship you our bullion immediately, and we float on our
own capital. We put out our own capital at risk by ordering in
bulk from our wholesale suppliers. We have a portion of "our"
silver and gold "in the mail" at nearly all times. We take the
risk, we take the time, we have our capital in cash for a few days before
placing re-orders in bulk.
We take our business
seriously, we take your money seriously.
If you are ever
in doubt about the integrity of your bullion dealer, place smaller orders
over time. Let your dealer prove themselves. Let us prove how
fast we can deliver. Discover the
difference.

Next, we have a new TV
commercial to be shown in our local area in Grass Valley & Auburn,
California on Comcast Cable. It's at the top right of http://jhmint.com/
It's not big
budget, and it's not a national commercial, but I think it has a good
impact. Please tell me what you think.

is a great report by a man in China about how difficult it is to find gold

find.
