Here we can see that as of Q3 2012, the total U.S. Retirement Market stood at $19.3 trillion. In their most recent update, the Investment Company Institute shows the U.S. Retirement market has grown to $19.5 trillion in the final quarter of 2012. The retirees can thank the Fed for the $200 billion in growth in this market from Q3 to Q4 2012.

historical facts:

http://etfdailynews.com/2013/0…ajor-buyer-of-gold-today/

Even so, last year gold as an investment represented just 1.2% of global financial assets. That’s up from 0.7% in 2010 and a measly 0.2% in 2000. But it’s still well below the 3% of global financial assets individual gold investments comprised in 1980, and the 5% peak in 1968. Compared to those figures, the percentage now is still relatively low.

The sheer number of industrial applications for silver gives a very solid, diversified base to the market, and it is therefore less affected by swings in the economy. Even during the period between 2008 and 2009 — the worst of the financial crisis — industrial demand for silver only decreased by 6 percent, bounced right back the next year, and has increased every year since.

Some are claiming that there is a shortage in silver, and that the Mint was unable to acquire enough raw silver to service all the demand. Speculations aside, the suspension highlights a potentially alarming scenario: What if the suspension had been for longer than only a few weeks? With 2013 hot start, can we count on the Mint to produce enough coins to satisfy the growing demand?
Keep that in the back of your mind for now and consider another point. CPM Group’s reported total mine production in 2011 was about 775 million ounces. The report for total demand, including both coins and industrial applications, was 950 million ounces. Luckily, secondary supply (or scrap) provided 282 million ounces in the same year. However, as demand for coins increases, more and more silver will go into the storage vaults of investors and out of the hands of industry.

There was a significant shortage of both American Silver Eagles from the US Mint as well as junk silver available (that is, pre-1965 US dimes, quarters and half dollars) earlier this year as a result of record high demand.

Warren Buffett, Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, expressed reservations about gold as an investment:
“When we took over Berkshire, it was selling at $15 a share and gold was selling at $20 an ounce. Gold is now $1483 and Berkshire is $162,900."
“If it went to $800, I wouldn’t be a buyer,” Buffett, the chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., told reporters in Omaha, Nebraska, on May 2 2013. “It just sits there, and you hope somebody pays you more for it.”

What happened next in the Buffett silver saga was just as unusual as Buffett's original purchase. Buffett is famous for saying that his holding period is "forever." Yet, a mere eight years later, the silver position was gone.

Buffett's original position of 130 million ounces-silver bought in 1998 would be worth almost $4.2 billion today, a gain of $3.4 billion or 429% on his original cost of $780 million.

By comparison, Berkshire Hathaway A common stock went from $78,305 in June 1998 to $143,484 as of today, for a gain of only 83%.

The reasons for this growth should not be hard to understand: silver is in many ways a more versatile industrial metal than copper. James Blanchard was fond of pointing out how the average American used several items with silver in it even before he or she left for work in the morning: silver is in your alarm clock, wall switch, wristwatch, bathroom mirror,computer, cellphone, I-Pad, the plumbing in your bathroom or kitchen, your microwave, water purifier, dishwasher, and, especially if you wear polyester, it is used to make many forms of clothing.

Anleger erhöhten Silberbestände seit Jahresanfang

http://www.goldseiten.de/artik…damentallage.html?seite=1

Konkrete Ursachen für den Einbruch der Silbernotierungen lassen sich dagegen kaum benennen. Im Gegensatz zum Rückgang der Goldnotierungen ging der Silbercrash nicht mit einem Abverkauf durch Anleger einher. Die Silberbestände der physisch besicherten Fonds (ETCs) reduzierten sich zwar seit ihrem Allzeithoch bei rund 19.750 Tonnen Mitte März 2013 um etwa 280 Tonnen beziehungsweise 1,4% einen Monat später. Allerdings waren in der fraglichen Zeit des Silbereinbruchs Mitte April keine Verkäufe durch ETCs zu beobachten und seit Jahresanfang stiegen die Bestände per Saldo sogar um 530 Tonnen beziehungsweise 2,8%.

The Fed left the federal funds target rate between 0% and 0.25% and also maintained the $85 billion-per-month purchases of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities policy in place. I maintain that for the long-term, these policies will be detrimental to the value of the dollar and over time gold and silver will continue to rise.

http://www.safehaven.com/artic…whats-happening-with-gold

the lack of silver coin availability and premiums are the most
extreme I have seen since the financial and economic meltdown
of 2008. Now we discover that the Chinese Gold & Silver EXchange Society has
essentially sold out of gold bullion, and must wait until Wednesday
for shipments to arreive from Switzerland and London.

Real interest rates are negative and will remain so for years as governments try to "QE" their way through the coming sovereign debt crisis. Do stock bulls honestly think governments will be able to continue to print money to buy their own bonds and stocks will go up 10% a year, there will be no inflation and commodities will decline?

Chinese Gold Exchange Sold Out - Begins Importing From Switzerland

While I tend to be skeptical when I hear about silver shortages since these reports have been so exaggerated in the past, the lack of silver coin availability and premiums are the most extreme I have seen since the financial and economic meltdown of 2008.

JP Morgans registered COMEX gold inventory declined from 1.3 to 0.8 million ounces in the past week, a burn rate that if continued will result in them having zero physical gold available for delivery IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS.
This is happening very quickly while people are distracted with other things.

Let’s start with a question. If you knew that a casino was cheating, if you saw that there was a magnet under the roulette table, would you gamble there? Would you risk your money, hoping that on the next spin, the magnet would somehow malfunction?

It would be irrational. You would be better off going to the next casino where they obey state law and run an honest game. It is the same with the markets. If you believe that the gold and silver prices are controlled then why would you risk your capital attempting to trade them? Technical and fundamental analysis would be at best useless and at worst misleading, because there are cheaters in the game. No analysis could predict when the cheater will push the button that raises the magnet under green “00”, and take your money.

gold liquidation

http://gerringwm.wordpress.com/2013/04/16/gold-liquidation/

All indications suggest that the massive decline in gold over the last two trading days has been the result of massive liquidations by major global financial institutions that have been forced to raise cash quickly. What is the likely cause for this liquidation activity? The increasing radioactive interest rate volatility associated with Japanese government bonds is the most likely culprit, as institutions have been forced to come up with sizable capital contributions to protect their massive positions against the recent wild swings in the second largest bond market in the world.

The world’s largest man-made excavation – a US copper mine – has been shut down by an enormous landslide that smashed roads and buildings and left two-thirds of the pit base buried

-----------------------------------------
A lot of these big copper mines had their stocks beat up by the evil empire in the 80s or 90s and they went hat in hand to the banks for financing. They were forced to sell their silver to them at reduced prices as a by product of mining copper or zinc. The EE needs real physical to run their paper games and with this much supply offline their ability to suppress silver will be greatly reduced.

16% of US Annual Silver Supply Just Vaporized…

The question is who owns the mine? What are the coincidences of these happening after a major calculated take down? Next who opened or was just approved a Copper ETF (Jp Morgan). Who has been selling in mass PSLV? The question is why? Now we all know that there is a silver shortage and common sense should tell us we should see the move in silver skyrocket with enormous growth upwards stratospheric proportions. We shall see what happens in Asia & Globex on Sunday evening and Comex Monday…

I visited this mine last year and its a 10 minute drive from the entrance up to the processing labs. This damage looks incredible and means that the surrounding structures must be very unstable. So not only did it destroy roads and infrastructure but now everything in this immediate area must be very prone to more landslides which means it just got shut down.
The tailings or dump at this site was always the concern it would collapse and wipe out a large area below the mountain. It appears the actual mine itself collapsed first before the dumps.

(..)
Your missing the point, 16% of the US annual supply of 40 million ozs is 5million oz so now annual production is around 35million (Aurcana is coming online with Shafter so that will help a bit).
The US mint is on pace to sell 45million ozs of silver eagles that have to be produced from DOMESTIC silver if I am correct. I am Canadian so please correct me if im wrong. that is a short fall of almost 10million ozs, wheres it gonna come from.
Barrick will probably have to enter the futures market to meet its obligations to Silver Wheaton of 200million ozs at $4 maybe thats who’s in the futures market already and keeps driving the open interest up?????
Lets be honest do you really think that the stackers and countries that have been buying since the crash will sell at these prices, No they will buy more and average down.
