Financial and precious metals expert Egon von Greyerz is sounding the alarm about record breaking global risk and warns, “With this risk, people have to take insurance."

The shortage is here. It is a fact. In the weeks to come, you should find many articles to read about the growing delays in delivery of silver. There should be real problems for delivery at the end of September and the beginning of October.

The silver price is still under $ 16 today, but it won’t last long at that level. With an open interest around 1 billion ounces on the Comex, there will be a huge SHORT-SQUEEZE before the end of the year. Remember, the rule for silver as for gold : if you don’t hold it, you don’t own it.

With debt bubbles in the US, Europe, China, Japan and Emerging Markets, the world is likely to drown in printed money in the next 2-5 years. At that point gold could easily be 175 million Dollars, Euros or Yen. That level is of course meaningless in real terms.

For the yellow metal to constitute real wealth insurance, it must be acquired through a commercial partner in position to offer a certain set of guarantees.
