The United States Federal Reserve held its resolve to raise interest rates with a minimum 0.25% increase at its June meeting.

Global risk has never been higher in history. And this pertains to economic, financial, geopolitical and cyber risks. Investors must not believe the lies and propaganda they are being fed. All is certainly not well in the state of the world.

One/some/several “entities” decided at 9:38 a.m. this morning that it was necessary to dump 14,315 contracts of paper gold. This is just the August contract. In total a lot more was unloaded. This represents 1.43 million ozs of gold.

Is there gold price manipulation going on? Absolutely. There’s no question about it. Now, where is the manipulation coming from?

The best time to buy an asset is when it is unloved and undervalued like gold and silver were in the early 2000s. What few investors realise is that the current levels of gold and silver, when real inflation is taken into account, are very similar to where the metals were in 2000-2002.

Banks are definitely no longer the sanctuaries they once were. Following the threats of draining bank accounts (BRRD, Sapin Law 2), cyber threats will make headlines in the years to come.

For $1,260, an investor will get a piece of paper saying he owns 1 ounce of gold. But he is unlikely to ever see that gold.

Time and time again we are seeing fraud taking place in the precious metals’ market. Thousands of tonnes of paper silver and paper gold are being dumped over just a few hours or days.

Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook are valued at $2.8 trillion. That is twice Russia’s GDP and 42% (71,000 tonnes) of all the gold ever produced.

The bottom line is gold’s sharp pullback in recent weeks was sparked by a series of gold-futures shorting attacks.
