29 VALID reasons to buy SILVER OVER GOLD

Here is the list of 29 reasons to buy silver over gold.

1. Due to the tiny size of the Silver market and the lack of physical Silver available to the manipulators, the Silver battle is much easier to win than Gold. Ted Butler’s discovery of massive Silver market manipulation highlights the size, scope and importance of Silver to the current financial crisis.
2. Central banks have NO physical Silver to assist in the manipulation of the Silver market but they still have a lot of physical Gold (although much less than they claim).
3. The majority of Silver mined every year is consumed as an industrial metal in very small amounts and will never return to the market whereas the amount of above ground Gold grows year after year.
4. Due to its low price and superior physical properties, Silver has developed into a vital and necessary industrial commodity that makes it mandatory for modern life. If we woke up tomorrow and gold vanished from the face of the earth, life would continue pretty much as it was the day before. Without silver, modern life would change.
5. Due to the relative very low price of silver and very high price of gold, the man in the street is in a position to buy silver in much greater quantities than gold.
6. In various forms there is an estimated 5B oz of above ground Gold and 5B oz of above ground Silver but Gold trades [around] $1500 per . and Silver trades for about $35 per ozt. Both metal prices are obviously manipulated but Silver appears to be manipulated more. As for Silver bullion that is “in play” for the manipulators, I estimate that less than 200M oz. remain with a current market value less than $7B.
7. Silver has been in a supply deficit for over 50 years! Governments held approximately 10B oz of silver in 1950 and have been supplying that physical stock steadily into the market. Today there is no more of that surplus silver left to sell.
8. There are only 14 years of known Silver reserves remaining in the world at current consumption rates according toUSGS. AFTER THAT SILVER WILL BE GONE FOREVER! Think about it.
9. Demand for Silver is “inelastic” in its industrial applications because it is used in such small quantities per application. An increase in price does not translate into a decrease in consumption.
10. The COMEX Silver short position is the largest concentrated short position of any commodity, on any exchange in the history of financial markets. [Read this (3) article for more information.]
11. Throughout human monetary history the Silver to Gold ratio hovered in the 10-1 range until the invention of futures and options trading in metals. After the massive manipulation maneuvers by the Banking Cabal the silver-gold ratio now stands at over 40-1. [Read this (4) article to find out what effect $3,000, $5,000 or even $10,000 per ozt. for gold would have on the price of silver based on these historical silver:gold relationships.]
12. As defined in the Coinage Act of 1792, the U.S. dollar is Silver, not Gold, and contains “three hundred and seventy-one grains and four sixteenth parts of a grain of pure, or four hundred and sixteen grains of standard silver” according to Wikipedia. 
13. Silver is massively under reported in the media vs. Gold. Even Jim Rogers, the commodity guru, purposefully ignores Silver entirely in his best selling book “Hot Commodities” even though Silver exceeds all other commodities using his metrics on what makes a strong commodity.
14. Very few investors have physical Silver in their possession. Reasoning: because they claim it is “too hard to store”. Does that mean when Silver trades at over $1,000 per ozt. that people will be more willing to buy and store physical Silver? It is difficult to make up a more bullish argument to take delivery and store physical Silver TODAY…when the Cabal price rigging scam finally fails you can always buy your own Fort Knox to store all that pesky Silver you bought!
15. Silver’s fundamentals are even stronger than Gold’s so when the gold manipulation stops and the Gold price takes off investors will be looking for the next under-priced investment with similar characteristics.
16. 470M oz of Silver owned by the US Treasury… has been sold into the physical market to support the “Strong Dollar Policy”.
17. Most of the large deposits of Silver have probably already been found and/or already mined limiting future discoveriesbecause of the fact that Silver mineral deposits, as opposed to Gold, are usually very shallow in the earth’s crust due to the nature of the geology.
18. There is a significant problem with counterfeit Gold coins and bars because of its high price. Silver coins and small bars have not, to date, had as much of a counterfeiting issue because its price did not justify the effort. (although there is a problem with counterfeit Silver jewelry which may significantly suppress Silver scrap recovery in the future…oddly bullish by-product of counterfeiting Silver!)
19. The total dollar value of the Silver market is a fraction of the total dollar value of the Gold market.
20. Retail physical shortages of Silver are already beginning to appear around the world. The list of announced delays/curtailment by Government owned Mints now includes EVERY MAJOR SILVER COIN PRODUCING COUNTRY IN THE WORLD! [See this article (5) on the shortage of silver for coin production.]
21. Hedge funds are bleeding from the credit crunch and they are looking for ways to save themselves. A single hedge fund can scoop up the remaining physical Silver and blow the price sky high.
22. In the US, Gold confiscation laws are still on the books but there are currently no silver confiscation laws.
23. As of early 2011 the Gold price is hovering around $1,500 or 175% of its historical high. Silver, on the other hand, is hovering around $35 or 70% of it’s historical high suggesting that Silver has a long way still to go.
24. Un-backed paper Silver programs (such as silver certificates and unallocated pooled accounts are the “industry standard” these days and) will be scrambling for metal when redemptions are called in by the investors. The most egregious example of fractional reserve silver is the iShares Silver ETF (SLV).
25. In the past few years the massive global money creation by central banks around the world has created huge reservoirs of cash sloshing around the asset markets looking for a safe haven. Although most mainstream press have discussed Gold as being a likely bucket to fill with this monetary firehouse, SILVER has all the same monetary metal properties as Gold except the Silver market is SO small it would be like FILLING A DIXIE CUP WITH THE FIREHOUSE!
26. The CFTC still has an open investigation into the manipulation of the SILVER market that is being conducted not by their investigative division but by the CFTC “Enforcement Division”. Although the final conclusions have been purposefully delayed by the CFTC, the final outcome may finally be the END OF THE 50 YEAR MANIPULATION OF THE SILVER MARKET!…
27. The growth of emerging economies in Asia will require more and more industrial silver to build out their electric infrastructure and provide a higher standard of living for their middle class. In a global market that has been in a silver supply deficit for years a silver bidding war will result in order to obtain the significant amounts of silver needed…
28. There are currently multiple class action lawsuits that have been filed against JP Morgan for blatantly rigging the silver market. Given that JP Morgan has previously claimed immunity from legal prosecution because they are an agent of the US Government I doubt the suits will ever be brought to trial…BUT the publicity of them “claiming immunity” AGAIN will be the “silver shot heard around the world”…
29. Inventors around the world are making significant breakthroughs in the attempt to solve our energy crisis. From fuel cells to solar power to zero point energies that existed only in our imaginations breakthroughs are quickly coming down the pike. Since silver is the BEST CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY in the world it is likely that the most powerful breakthroughs will involve the special properties of silver.

Conclusion

If all the above reasons are not enough for you to run out and buy all the physical silver you can get your hands on then I’m sure there will be new reasons not far off on the horizon because for the last 10 years this list has continued to GROW…RELENTLESSLY!

It’s true that there are “NO SURE THINGS” in life…but an investment in SILVER comes DARN CLOSE! Yes, you’ll have to ride the tidal wave of price manipulation but when the waves die down you will fully appreciate the power and value of SILVER.

Don’t believe the silver haters…load up on physical silver and keep it out of the hands of those who want to control it. Take it home and stick it in your safe. It may be your last chance!

Another all-time high for gold, whatever happened to the summer lull?

Traditionally gold prices are weakest in the summer period, and yet here we are at the end of July with gold futures pointing to a fresh all-time high of $1,637.

Traders are pointing the finger at the US debt ceiling debacle and signs that the US economy is heading back into recession as the immediate reasons for the rise in yellow metal prices.

Silver up 15%

As usual the focus is on gold while silver is actually up by more in July, rising 15 per cent in the month, again also against the normal seasonal trend.

Gold and silver are increasingly being treated as an alternative currency to the US dollar that cannot be printed. The supply of precious metals remains static – or may fall if the new labor dispute in South African mines gains traction – and that ensures it will rise in value in dollar terms as the supply of dollars surges.

But it is more than that. The total reserves of gold are very small, and silver miniscule. Once demand for precious metals really takes off it will drive the price much higher than the rate of monetary inflation.

We noticed an advert on TV on the back of a WestJet flight seat for scrap silver yesterday! They never used to bother with silver because its price was too low.

Of course, a last minute deal on the US debt ceiling is expected in financial markets and that might reverse precious metals for a few weeks into their traditional summer lull.

However, what if such a deal is not forthcoming or falls way short of the compromise that is built into stock market prices? We could see a mayhem in markets.

That maybe what the Republicans want to embarrass the president who seeks re-election next year. On the other hand, they will be mindful of being blamed for a sudden stock market crash.

Blame game

And yet the incumbent president is bound to take the blame for events on his watch. Tripping him up is a part of the political theatre now, and it is arguable that extending the debt ceiling without any attempt to lower the debt is bad government. This is obvious really, so far removed has US economic management moved away from reality.

Would gold and silver go higher if financial markets came off the rails, or fall as in 2008? It is hard to say, nobody thought gold would be at a record high now, the consensus was for a correction.

Still aside from shorting stocks what else is worth doing right now aside from holding onto precious metals?

Kiraan Inflasi Duit Ringgit Melalui Gaji Guru 1907 dan 2011 dan harga Beras.

Hari ini, kita belajar mengira inflasi duit kertas yang ada hari ini apabila ianya tidak lagi disandarkan kepada emas atau perak atau sebarang komoditi berharga.

Dahulu, duit kita adalah emas dan perak , tapi hari ini, duit kita hanya helaian kertas yang dicop nilainya.

Takpe, kita kira dulu buat perbandingan.

Sebelum tu, sila rujuk gambar 1 ringgit tahun 1907 dalam gambar di link bawah ini.

http://coincollecting.a-z-series.com/one-dollar-1907-1909-king-edward-vii-straits-settlements-coins/

Berat  1 ringgit = 27 gram perak 90%  atau = 24.3 gram perak tulen

Ketika tahun itu 1907 , gaji guru di Penang dan harga beras dilakarkan seperti berikut

http://viweb.freehosting.net/vir_Shaida.htm

"Their salary (teacher) was about $80 a month. Rice was sold at 8 gantang for a dollar"

Kita terpaksa ambil skala gaji paling tinggi Guru (RM 5000) bagi disesuaikan dengan taraf V.I (Victoria Institution) ketika itu.

Sekarang kita memasuki fasa baru, iaitu timbangan.

Apa itu gantang?

Kita merujuk manusia pada zaman itu .

rujukan kita : http://www.sizes.com/units/gantang.htm

Other sources say , in the Straits Settlement a gantang was 32 imperial gallon.

1 imperial gallon (about 4.56 liters or 1.2 U.S. gallons)

** sumber lain mengatakan , di Straits Settlement , 1 gantang bersamaan 32 imperial gallon.

1  imperial gallon = 4.56 liter ,

32 imperial gallon = 145.92 liter

Melalui ujikaji yang dibuat oleh seorang sahabat saya , beliau menggunakan beras jenama "AAA Beras Bukit" yang bila ditimbang

1 liter = 820g ;

4.56 liters x 0.82kg = 3.739 kg

1 gantang straits settlement = 3.74kg (of rice) x 32 = 119.65kg (beras)

Ingat , 1 ringgit tahun 1907 boleh beli 8 gantang beras.

119.65kg x 8 gantang = 957.22kg

1 ringgit boleh membeli 957.22 kg beras.

Gaji guru pada tahun 1907 adalah 80 ringgit.

80 ringgit x 957.22 kg  = 76 576kg beras.

Secara kasar , gaji seorang guru sebulan adalah 80 ringgit atau 76 576 kg beras.

Mari kita mengira gaji guru-guru kita pada hari ini. (secara perabndingan )

Ni kita ambil gaji guru yang bekerja di sekolah, atau institusi swasta, gaji kasar RM 5000 sebulan.

Harga beras hari ini, 1 kg = RM 3.20

RM 5000 / 3.20 = 1562.5 kg beras.

Maksudnya, gaji guru kita satu bulan hari ini = 1562.5 kg beras.

Cuba kalian letak beza antara gaji guru tahun 1907 dan hari ini.

1907 - 80 ringgit  = 76 576 kg beras

2011 - RM 5000   = 1562.5 kg beras

Ada beza tak?

Tahun 1907 - 1 ringgit boleh beli 957 kg beras.

Tahun 2011 - RM 1 boleh beli  - 0. 312 kg beras sahaja .atau 312 GRAM sahaja.

Gantang Yang Kecil Sedikit

Kalau kita tengok logik dari kiraan di atas, macam keterlaluan jika kata 1 ringgit boleh beli 1 tan beras!

Melampau betul.

Ok-ok..kalau kalian rasa macam melampau, kita kira balik guna sukatan gantang selepas merdeka.

Gantang selepas merdeka ni kecil sket.

ni kiraan saya melalui laman ini punya info

http://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gantang

1 gantang = 4 cupak = 2.8kg

1 ringgit = 8 gantang = 22.4kg beras

80 ringgit = 1792 kg beras.

perbandingan dengan gaji guru Cikgu biasa - 1563 kg.

jadi, sebenarnya inflasi ringgit itu bersamaan :

1 ringgit 1907 = 22.4 kg beras

22.4 kg beras 2011 = RM 71.68

kehilangan nilai ringgit 1907 kepada 2011 adalah

1 ringgit 1907 boleh beli = 22.4kg beras , 80 ringgit = 1792 kg beras

1 ringgit 2011 boleh beli = 312 gram beras ,RM 5000 = 1562.5 kg beras

RINGGIT SUSUTNILAI 99%! 

nilai Ringgit berbanding beras susut sebanyak 98.6071% i.e. [ (0.312 kg – 22.4kg )/ 22.4kg ]x 100%.

Perhatikan bahawa jika koin Ringgit perak (27 g) dijual sebagai “raw silver” pada... harga “runtuh” RM3.00 per gram; maka koin tersebut bernilai = 27g x RM3.00/g = RM81.

Katalah 1 kg beras = RM3.20 ;

maka koin Ringgit perak setara dengan 25.31 kg beras i.e RM81/RM3.20; hampir sama dengan kesetaraan pada tahun 1907 (22.4kg). Nah! Bukankah ini bukti bahawa koin perak menyimpan nilai belinya walaupun masa berlalu 104 tahun.

Kalian lagi suka gaji dibayar dengan duit kertas lagi?

Inilah yang terjadi bila duit tak guna barang bernilai sebenar.

Kalian ingat lagi kan kisah duit daun pisang zaman jepun?

Sekarang ni, waktu untuk kembali kepada duit emas (dinar) dan duit perak (dirham).

Kalian nak tunggu duit kertas kalian tak bernilai baru terhegeh-hegeh?

Bila kita tak ikut Allah dalam urusan kehidupan kita, beginilah jadi kepada kita, setiap tahun kita dimiskinkan dan semakin susah.

Cepat sebelum terlambat
