John Embry : Gold headed for $3000/oz

John Embry : Well it could be, because as you go down the path to hyperinflation, it just means that money is being devalued at an ever greater rate. Gold, being real money, is priced in this devalued money.People just don't seem to grasp that it's not gold that's doing anything; it's the value of the money in which it's denominated that's driving the bus. It's going straight down and the price of gold ultimately will go straight up.Now having said all of that, you got to be careful what you wish for, because the societal impact of this could be very, very negative. I would just as soon be wrong, but my job is to analyze things and this is the way I see it.Well, I was bullish in the late 1990's and I was wrong. This is what got me involved with GATA because I started to analyze the situation more closely. When you discovered what the central banks were really doing in this space, leasing their gold and what have you, it all started to become very clear.As I mentioned in my talk yesterday at the conference, I don't think people recognize what weakened position the Western Central banks are in with respect to their gold reserves.As a result, I think, that the swing from supplying gold to the market, where the Western Central banks have been doing this great amounts for 15 years, now with the Eastern Central banks taking gold out of the market, and the Western Central banks being limited in what they can do going forward, this is an enormous change. That alone would have a significant upside impact on the price.

John Embry & James Turk - why you should own Gold and Silver in your portfolio

John Embry Chief Investment Strategist at Sprott Asset Management discusses the recent correction in the silver price with James Turk, Director of the GoldMoney Foundation: ....I think the rise to the recent $50 peak believe it or not was justified and it is funny when you read the main stream press everybody is talking about bubbles and how big the crash is going to be , they would not seem to understand the fundamentals I think the fundamentals of silver are impeccable , the fact that we are going through a tough crash is not surprising it's a paper driven COMEX sponsored correction and it's to be expected , I mean if you have been involved in silver market as long as we have at Sprott we're used to these things they are not fun but it is another buying opportunity ... The paper market probably drives the prices most of the time when the physical takes over is when the physical shortage takes place and what's going on right now is very clearly there is a massive short position in...

John Embry : why you should own physical Gold and Silver

John Embry Chief Investment Strategist at Sprott Asset Management  discusses the reasons why people should own Gold and Silver : ...I think that it is absolutely essential that gold and silver be in anybody's portfolio particularly anybody that has substantial wealth for the simple reason that paper assets are under attack because of the debasement of money and I mean if you want sort of historical example look at what happened in the 1970s if you had gold and silver in your portfolio I mean you offset the fact that inflationary environmental the real returns on paper assets bonds and stocks were negligeable if not considerably negative and if you had enough to have a lot but if you had a say a ten percent representation in your portfolio you skated through what positive returns with positive returns of overall portfolio but if you did not you have a negative return so the situation today is infinitely worse than it was then so I think it's essential that people have it and the interesting fact is that the vast majority of people don't have it which gives you sort of a leg up if you got it , right now basically if you don't have it you better be getting it soon ...you should diversify ...the safest way to own gold is in your position ...you should have ten to twenty percent portfolio in physical gold and silver ...the US Stocks today are grotesquely over priced , the US bond market dos not even deserve a comment ...the currency debasement is a worldwide phenomenon

John Embry Mike Maloney, and David Morgan on investing in physical gold and silver

I don't know how long the dollar will last for. But I rather jump out of a boat before it sinks than sit around to see how things turn out.Silver & Gold is your lifeboat.


Diversify with Physical Gold and Silver - BIGGEST INVESTMENT EVER : Silver and gold do not go up. The value of the dollar goes down. Silver doesn't appreciate. It does not produce cash flows. Gold is money. It is not an investment. It is wealth preservation. You can trade an ounce of sliver for the same amount of goods as you could in 1913. The silver to oil or silver to bag of potatoes ratio should never change. Silver and gold are just money. There are arbitrage opportunities at times, but in the long run silver and gold are simply money.Silver is by far a better investment. Look at the numbers of silver over the years. It has outperformed gold and it is still a bargain even at $35.00. Imagine it going to $50.00. or $100.00 Bill gates has 30% of his assets in silver. Maybe he knew something that we did not.buying gold and having the ability to hold it in your hand is better than receiving a piece of paper stating how much you own. Because that piece of paper with that statment is no different than having the dollar bill in your wallet, paper may have a statement (IOU wise) but gold is GOLD.If you are going to buy gold you are better off buying actual gold that you can touch. Not a piece of paper or a certificate - thats just an iou in my opinion. If your going to keep an iou - you may as well hold dollars.There are gold dealers all over. look up the yellow pages
