Bullish on Precious Metals

One very good indicator for higher precious metals prices is the lease rate.

As I predicted here, it was time to buy gold and silver. And now it's completely obvious that they will do good as lease rates are steadily increasing. I doubled my position in silver.

Chart 1: Gold Lease Rates

I wish I could show the silver lease rates, but Kitco is cheating on us, their chart only shows a flat line...

Chart 2: Silver Lease Rates (flat lines since 2 November 2012)
But all we need is the gold lease rate and then just extrapolate it to silver lease rates.

  1. Note that from mid aug to oct lease rates dropped and gold rose. Why do you think this is reliably predictive?

    1. Note that there is a delay between lease rate and gold price. So you just follow the lease rate and then you will know that the gold price will follow a few months later. That's the key. You can predict it.

      Lease rates go up, bullion banks need to buy back the gold and give it to central banks. There is a delay, that delay is the rise in price of gold a few months later.

    2. The same in the other way, lease rates go down, there is more manipulation from the bullion banks to sell the gold into the market. With a delay you will see prices plunge.

    3. Of course you need to see the big picture too. Lease rates are only 1 indicator, other indicators are:

      Golden cross technical
      Debt
      Global balance sheet expansion
      overpriced bonds and stocks
      end of operation twist
      consolidation in gold market
      CME physical silver dropping
      mining supply to contract 2%
      demand to rise in 2014
      capacity utilization of mining going to 90%
      silver deficit in 2013
      Soros, David Morgan, Paulson buying gold
      China buying record amounts of gold
      Chinese new year starting soon
      and many other things I forget to mention.

  2. Good points. On the silver chart the brown 6 month lease has a strange property (dip and now flatlined). Is this an error or is does it have a specific meaning?
