[05:30 am] Zerohedge on those people buying gold today: The "Sovereign Man" On What To Look For "When The Gold Market Tops" read!

These are the types of things that are common in a rising bull market that has plenty of room to run-- the public, largely ignorant about gold, is happy to trade physical wealth for worthless paper.

At the top of the market, we'll be seeing the exact opposite. The public will have wised up; the vast majority of people walking the streets will know the price of gold and be able to distinguish a Maple Leaf from an American Eagle.

At this point, everyone will want to own gold, and the signs will change from "WE BUY GOLD" to "WE SELL GOLD"... and they'll be everywhere.

Entrepreneurs, flush with all the bullion they've been racking up over the years from false teeth and wedding rings, will start unloading their gold holdings to the very people who supplied them to begin with... all at a handsome profit.

This is what it's gonna be like. Currently the majority of people are selling their gold to wholesale buyers. On the very peak of the gold "bubble" people will buy it back at "any" imaginable "paper"-price. Today's gold and silver bullion owner will then unload their treasures to the mass - at a maximum price.

[09:15 am] Demand is huge: Big jump in SPDR Gold Trust gold holding in single day

LONDON -  The latest gold holdings figure from the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) shows a big rise, over the weaker gold price period of the past few days, after a series of falls, although the total figure at 1298.94 tonnes on December 17th is still well short of the peak of 1320.46 tonnes at the end of June.  Nevertheless the rise of just over 15 tonnes in a day from the Dec 16th figure mirrors the latest surveys which suggest a loss of confidence in the U.S. economy's recovery, coupled with continuing Eurozone deficit level unease regarding several countries, of which Spain is the most significant.

The latest SPDR figure might be considered particularly significant because a 15 tonne movement in a single day is unusual, and has brought the ETF's holding back to a level last seen in late October.  Figures for the next few days in the runup to Christmas will now be watched with particular interest to see if what could be a new surge in Western gold buying can be maintained.

[04:15 pm] Same thing for silver - it was allocated storage: Turk - Swiss Bank Client Battles Over 2 Months For His Silver

They simply lend or sell the precious metals which their clients gave them for safekeeping.

[05:00 am] At least one Suisse bank refused to deliver physical gold to their clients: Jim Rickards: At Least One Swiss Bank Has Started Refusing To Hand Over Physical Gold To Clients

Jim Rickards of Omnis has an interesting anecdote about global gold mania.

He tells King World News of a client of a major Swiss bank who was refused access to his one ton of physical gold ($40M) and was forced to make threats to convince the bank otherwise:

“Correct, and through all of that eventually the individual did get his gold...it took lawyers, it took threats of publicity, it took a lot of pressure to do that, which my inference is that that gold was not there. The bank had to scramble, go out and find it somewhere before they could make good delivery.”

To be safe, Rickards says you should take out your gold out of the banks before governments freeze physical holdings.

There arent't any pieces of information in the article about how the bullion was stored: allocated or unallocated. But it clearly wasn't there and it had to be procured somewhere. Fortunately, those who can afford a million in gold can afford good lawyers as well.

Gold storage in a bank is always risky when the bank has direct access to the gold. Unfortunately, there hardly exist any alternatives regarding the storage of large amounts of precious metals.

RENO, NV - It's déjà vu for silver bullion coin investors as the U.S. Mint decided to delay the America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coin Launch Monday.

TORONTO (Reuters) - Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.TO) is creating a global precious metals business that will specialize in sales and trading of gold, silver, platinum and palladium, the bank said on Monday, on a day gold neared a record high and silver hit a 30-year peak.

They know that it's now time to enter the business, cause most money will be made within the next years. Gold and silver slowly approach the stage of distribution, which means that people start to wake up and start to buy gold and silver. The operative words are "they start to", cause they are still far far away from really being aware of the situation. This means that 98% of the people who don't own any gold or silver bullion today, will invest during the coming years. And you already know what this means: 20% of the up-move are made in 80% of the time and 80% of the up-move will be made in 20% of the time;-)

Well, not yet everybody. Unfortunately the majority of people haven't even heard of silver as an investment yet, let alone the opportunity to purchase it physically (except for jewelry). This will change within the next years, as more and more people become aware of the advantages that investments in physical gold and silver offer. Unfortuately for those who come late, prices are going to rise even faster during the next years. So one can understand rising prices as a tax on stupidity or laziness for not having started to invest earlier.

In the more conventional way, Russia has continued to add to its gold reserves, with a recorded increase of a further 19 tonnes during October - coincidentally the same amount that the IMF sold during the month.  The IMF's reserves have been declining at a faster rate than the Russian acquisitions, although when the IMF's sales within the official sector are stripped out, the Fund has so far sold 158 tonnes into the open market this year., while Russia has taken up 161 tonnes.  Meanwhile the BIS' recorded holdings came down slightly during September, suggesting that  - at that point at least, the use of gold as banking collateral was easing.

Russia does it big. It's crystal clear who is going to be swimming in a whole lotta cash in a couple of years.

[05:30 am] Someone seems to be in a hurry: Bank of Russia speeds up gold purchases

[05:30 am] The mob still has no gold, even if the mainstream press wants to tell you it's in a bubble: Gold mania? Not quite

So if individualsbought $5.4 billion worth of gold, and sold about $2.7 billion, their total net investment comes to $2.7 billion. These are the figures through early summer: July for the bullion funds, end of June for the physical gold.

Are these bubble levels? Is the mania near its peak?

Try this. Through the end of July, according to FRC, investors poured $22 billion into emerging markets mutual funds. And a remarkable $155 billion into bond funds. Compared to these figures, the amount invested into gold is chickenfeed.

The average sheep on the street don't have a single gold coin, they wouldn't even be able to tell you the value of one ounce. They'd rather consider gold being Stone Age, than putting it in their portfolio. They will start to buy gold when we're at least 5 times higher compared to today's prices, because sheep hesitate to buy until their bankster tells them to do so, but he won't do so as long as he can still sell bonds to the sheep, cause you know gold doesn't pay any interest, and the banker hardly gets a commission for selling physcial metal. The only instrument he'd earn something with, are ETFs, certificates and all that other crap.

P.S. Look at all those "cash for gold" ads on TV. There is no need to remind you that if we were in a bubble, those people would urge you to BUY gold, instead of telling you to SELL it because gold is trading at a All Time High.

The relevant point being that, thanks to a regulation slipped into the healthcare legislation, coin dealers – and all businesses, for that matter – will have to begin reporting any purchases of $600 or more from anyone, including clients selling back their gold.

Who's selling back his gold? The days to give away your gold are still some time to go, and that's the point, we won't sell our gold and silver, not for any fiat money, toilet paper currency, in the world. We only gonna exchange it into real goods, real estate, stocks, slaves (Goldman Bankers?!),...you name it..

Instead, they prefered being lazy douchebags, not doing nothing, consuming their asses off,...Well, can't feel no pitty for them, because these people are gonna pay our massive profits. Somebody's gotta pay them. (ME)

In France, purchases of bars and coins just outweighed profit-taking, with net investment demand scraping in at 0.4 tonnes, which was marginally below the 0.6 tonnes from Q2 2009.

Yes, there was a crisis: almost the crash of the Euro!
