Gold & Silver Being Held Hostage In The Ultimate Banking Crisis

The central bankers have their overly-rehypothecated teat caught in the wringer of world-wide demand for physical gold, and they cannot get it out.  Their only recourse has been to drive down, crush would be a better description, the fiat [paper] prices of gold and silver so they can “buy” time to acquire whatever physical available to cover their cheating ways.
Ironically, while these financial fiat-wizards are in a panic mode, of sorts, they are able to buy physical at somewhat lower prices and destroy the ability to take delivery for  those if-you-do-not-hold-it-you-do-not-own-it paper holders upon demand.  “Sorry, but you can only have paper fiat.  Didn’t you read the fine print?”

As we have been saying since 35 silver, 1800 gold; 30 dollar silver, 1700 gold; 25 silver, 1500 gold, etc, the issue is not price, rather, and most importantly, it is all about having possession of the physical for which there is an insatiable demand.  We have been saying this for many months:  keep buying physical gold and silver regardless of price.  At some point in time, it may not be available to buy, except at substantially higher prices, or not at all.  
Better to be the proverbial year early than a day late.
