Guest Post: Silver Most Likely to Go “Super Nova”

Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts – La Douleur du Monde – Most Likely to Go Super Nova

By Jesse of Jesse’s Cafe Americain

“It appears that there is an undeliverable force heading towards an unmanageable object.”

At some point the shysters will lose control of the monetary papier-mâché which they have created. And the subsequent reaction could be epic, with the almost inevitable force of nature, like a tsunami rolling in.

Only a few people understand this. So it could be quite the surprise to many.

In the meantime the bankers and politicians are scrambling for the goodies pouring out of the financial piñata which they cracked open in the financial crisis.

The banks have plenty of gold to lease into the bullion banks, and then on into the markets and as collateral for leveraged paper obligations. But they are running out of silver, which causes me to believe that the silver cartel will break first, and will lead the way higher, as it has been doing.  A handful of Too Big To Fail Banks seem to be short more silver than can possibly be delivered without incurring terrific losses, even by today’s distorted standards.  From the looks of it, it appears that there is an undeliverable force heading towards an unmanageable object. Further complicating matters is the possibility of a magnitude 9.6 sovereign debt earthquake in the markets.

Unless there is some forced settlement, some draconian government intervention, silver appears to be a leading candidate for the manipulated market most likely to go super nova.

If the equity market does not fall apart over Greece et al., I would imagine that the trading desks will try to stand on the metals until a little closer to quarter end, then its elevator going up. But watch out for a Greek related problem. I am not sure how the markets might react to this if it really is another Lehman like event. So as you might expect I am running a paired trade, and net short into the close.

The dollar chart is a big problematic. I can make a scenario for a break either higher or lower from the chart. I think we will know the move when it comes, but predicting it in advance is a dicey thing, except for the broken clocks.

If the sovereign default situation goes badly there *could* be a liquidation selloff that would impact silver, and to some extent gold. This is why I am holding paired trades that are short stocks and long bullion. I further adjusted the risk downward today, and lengthened the shorts.

I don’t always vote in Republican primaries…

I vote Ron Paul

The Paul campaign is pushing to raise $5m by the end of this quarter (in 7 days) They’ve already raised $3.2m so far in this drive. An impressive take for a grassroots campaign. No $36k-A-PLATE dinners like Pres. Obama staged tonight in Manhattan (one of three fundraisers today).

If the thought of Ron Paul shaking up the DC status quo intrigues you, consider donating here.

Neil Barofsky Scares The Shit Out Of Dan Rather

“Counsel, you’re scaring me”, Mr. Rathers said. “You should be scared, I’m scared. You can’t not be scared.”, former TARP Special Inspector General Neil Barofsky replied.

Worth watching, link. Barofsky mentions that S&P estimates the next financial crisis could cost $5 trillion. Wonder how much will a Big Mac will cost by the time these problems are monetized resolved.

Ron Paul on Political Capital with Al Hunt

Presidential Candidate Ron Paul was on Bloomberg TV tonight. Topics include the debt ceiling, foreign wars, and of course, the Fed. If you’re skeptical of Dr. Paul’s views, all the more reason to watch.

For those interested, there is a moneybomb to raise money for Paul’s campaign scheduled on June 5. Paul is running 2nd in NH, but Romney is building a warchest of cash. He recently raised $10m in a single day.
