"Grant Williams was guiding us through this brutal attack on Gold market with his brilliant presentations and his observations on the real things happening now in Asia with Gold are very important."If Gold Shorts Miscalculate "There Is Going To Be Hell To Pay"
Today one of the most highly respected
fund managers in Singapore told King World News that the gold bears are in
serious trouble at this point in the gold market. Grant Williams, who is
portfolio manager of the Vulpes Precious Metals Fund, also warned that if the
shorts miscalculate, “there is going to be hell to pay.” Below is what
Williams had to say this powerful interview.
Williams: “We have seen some real weakness (in stock markets)
in Asia. We have a lot of the smaller markets in Asia really getting
pounded. So far this year, the Bombay indices are down almost 30% in
currency-adjusted terms, with the fall in the rupee.
We also have the Indonesian stock market down 24%,
and Thailand down 14%. In dollar terms we are seeing some real
plunges. Thailand has fallen 20% in the last month. This is all
capital flight out of Asia. And there are some drastic measures being put
in place by governments to try to stem this, including the ban of imports of
gold coins in India....
“Asian governments are very, very concerned about
this. This is how the Asian currency crisis started in 1998. Unless
they can get a handle on this fairly quickly, these 2% falls will become 5%
plunges, and then 8% nosedives. Pretty soon they will have a real crisis
on their hands.
As we approach the September Fed meeting, and this
taper that everybody has been talking about -- there are more and more reasons
for them not to do it now. But, of course, having talked tough and
already said they were going to ‘do it’ -- if they do back down, and the
weakness in these Asian markets certainly could be a valid reason to back off,
along with some of the weaker data we have seen in housing and durable goods in
the United States -- I think what’s left of the Fed’s credibility is probably
shredded at that stage.
So my concern for a while now has been, what happens
if the Fed doesn’t taper and the markets fall anyway? I think that’s a
very real possibility, and if it happens it’s going to be fairly explosive to
watch.”
Eric King: “Tom Fitzpatrick, Ron
Rosen, Eric Sprott, and others on KWN, have been discussing the idea that
global stock markets may now experience a major decline, but they believe gold
and silver would skyrocket in the face of plunging markets. As the Asian
markets were tumbling overnight, I noticed that gold and silver were showing
signs of strength. Fitzpatrick was also pointing out that in the 1976 to
1980 time frame, stocks really struggled and yet gold and silver skyrocketed in
the midst of that market weakness. Are these guys right that we could see
plunging stock markets, but a massive move higher in the metals like we saw in
the late 1970s?”
Williams: “Yes, that’s not a crazy idea by any stretch of the
imagination, particularly with the added problems in the Middle-East right
now. If you look at the S&P, that market is very near all-time highs,
but if you look here in Asia, since May, which is when the taper talk started,
a lot of these markets are already down 25% in dollar-adjusted terms, and even
30% in some cases.
So equities have already had big falls, but we just
haven’t seen it yet in the headline markets such as the FTSE, the Dow, the
Nasdaq or the S&P. But markets here in Asia are certainly sounding a
warning about where major markets are headed. All of this seems to point
to one thing and one thing only, and that’s more printed money.
This is why I don’t think the case for gold has ever
been stronger than it is today. Even when gold was up at $1,900, I don’t
think the case for gold was as strong as it is now. And the fact that
gold is now $500 lower just strengthens that case even more.
With what has gone on in the last few months in
gold, the fact that the physical backing for these futures contracts is in such
short supply, this adds a whole new dimension to the bullish case for
gold. If we do see people really starting to sell paper gold on the COMEX
exchange once again, readers should remember that this has done nothing to
decrease demand for physical gold.
And with physical gold being in such tight supply
down at these price levels, I think any quick selloffs will be met with massive
physical buying. This will mean the recoveries in the gold price will be
very sharp indeed.”
Eric King: “John Ing was saying
in his KWN interview that right now we are seeing
this squeeze in gold, but he also expects the squeeze to accelerate over
time. This is related to the tightness and the shortage in the physical
market. From now on he expects the shorts to be squeezed at future option
expirations. What are your thoughts on what Ing is saying?”
Williams: “I agree 100%. I think that’s one of these
enormous changes that’s happened over the last few months. There is such
a tight supply of physical gold that any kind of ‘gaming of the system’ you can
play around options expiry is very limited now. This is a big change in
the gold market.
The reasons for this is there are plenty of people
who understand the tightness in supply, and these people will buy into any
weakness and stand for delivery. This will force the shorts into sending
them physical gold. So, suddenly this little game that’s been going on
around Non-Farm Payrolls and option expiries, those games are very, very
difficult to play now. You’ve got to be very nimble now if you are
shorting. If you miscalculate there is going to be hell to pay.”
Williams also added: “There’s been a great deal of noise made in the
mainstream media about the gold bear market. But gold is now 20% off the
lows, and yet you are not going to hear an awful lot of talk in the mainstream
media about a new bull market in gold.
Now that gold is through $1,400, it is important for
readers to understand that we have breached that key level with a
‘bullet.’ So I think the roadmap from $1,400 to $1,500 could be very
quick indeed for gold. This situation is just going to feed on
itself. We will have setbacks along the way but as gold goes higher, the
reasons it is going higher won’t matter simply because all of this physical
gold has been taken out of the market.
If there are buyers of gold for any reason at all,
it’s just going to exacerbate this physical tightness we are already seeing in
the gold market. This will simply serve to push the price much higher,
and much faster.”
