Why do the current geopolitical conditions present potentially explosive gold prices?
*Jim Sinclair's MineSet, by James Sinclair, January 23, 2006:
"The price of gold sits on a few explosive possibilities:
The Iranian situation is extremely dangerous economically and
politically. China and Russia have large investments in Iran and will
support Iran’s interests. Iran is making fun of the West, perhaps
trying to goad it into action. France's Chirac did not speak of the use
of nuclear weapons against terrorists for political reasons as some
might want you to think. What he did was to plow the road for the US to
surgically bomb Iran with deep penetration nuclear weapons. Israel
cannot risk a nuclear capable Iran. Now Israel is using restraint
because they know the US will handle the matter for the same reason
Israel stood aside before while Scud missiles met Patriot missiles in
thedefense of Israel.
UBS, one of the world's biggest banks, yesterday confirmed it had
stopped all business dealings with Iran, advising clients to seek
alternative banking arrangements. Who cut ties with who is the real
question? Iran is moving out of the euro and Europe and not into
dollars. So this brings up the conundrum of what is in fact the reserve
currency of choice. It should be kept firmly in mind that the
gold-starved Muslin central banks are devoid of the currency of choice
(gold) according the Koran. My position is that they won't be for long.
The replacement of the aging Monarch of Kuwait is accompanied by an
unclear order of succession. Sources say this will cause significant
delay in the re-entrance of international oil and oil service companies
back into Kuwait who were booted years ago. That in turn means the
expansion of Kuwaiti production facilities will not occur.
All that is in the face of strong indications the Kuwaitis have been
lying like bandits about their oil reserves. Any cause for delay of the
return of international oil and oil service companies serves as a
plausible denial for their lies concerning their reserves.
The Spratly Islands undersea oil and gas discovery is being claimed by
China although it appears to belong mostly to Japan. Japan is an ally
of the US. The US has stationed a nuclear carrier at a Japanese port.
This is an anomaly with great meaning. This farce of who owns what is
moving quickly towards force."
