Where does Sinclair see gold in 2006 due to the derivitive crisis?
*Jim Sinclair's MineSet, by James Sinclair, January 3, 2006:
"Gold, as I see it, is headed to $682 and then through $750. All the
rest is drama.
It doesn’t matter if it happens now or later this year. No one can be
absolutely sure of the timing because there is a hidden hand in the
market equation called over-the-counter derivatives which supersedes
the US Dollar/Gold relationship, the price of oil, the Fed minutes or
any other potential motivator.
What is most critical today is what the media refuses to discuss in
print or on business television. The code of silence being applied to
OTC derivatives is not happening without a good reason."
"The unregulated broker-dealer unit sure sounds like an
over-the-counter derivative granting unit. I imagine that the media
will not use the words "over-the-counter derivative" when it is
associated with a failure.
The fact that these items are treated in this manner is a clear
statement that media and financial officals feel it is so dangerous
that the financial public must never be informed. To fully inform would
cause fear concerning what these financial weapons of mass destruction
are capable of doing to the entire system.
This would explain why there was an effort to hold the assets of one
account and not pay it out as was reported last week. This would be an
effort not to split the derivative spread transactions with the loss
debit in one account from the agreed (either directly connected
account-wise or by the wink-wink method) from the offsetting side of
the derivative with the credit. A $4.16 billion failure would be quite
a small incident in terms of the risk of the OTC derivative spread
monster present to all the entities using them.
I imagine that the number representing the size of what appears to be
defined as a derivative explosion has one way to go and that is UP! I
believe we now are getting a clear indication of the cause of the
instantaneous meltdown of Refco
This debacle, which is known to insiders of the derivative trade,
motivated the recent move in the price of gold to $552. Those that are
presently using derivatives to smooth earnings, beat the corporate tax
man or hedge commodities, recognize the danger they are exposed to by a
bankruptcy anywhere along the daisy chain of the over-the-counter
derivative spread market. All of this represents economic madness,
meaning that gold is going to blast higher.
The system can camouflage one explosion, but what happens when the
daisy chain of over-the-counter derivatives pulls a few players down
together? This is why a meeting was held at the New York Fed concerning
interest sensitive derivatives six weeks in advance of its planned
date. This is why gold blasted to $552 and will do so again.
The greatest potential risk to the global financial system is
over-the-counter derivatives. Expect more debacles in 2006 and 2007."
