Embry - Massive QE Near as System Moves Closer to Collapse

With gold moving towards the $1,800 level, up another $23 today, and silver closing in on $33, today King World News interviewed John Embry, Chief Investment Strategist of the $10 billion strong Sprott Asset Management. Embry said Geithner’s comments prove that massive money printing is necessary in order to avoid a collapse. Here is what Embry had to say about the situation: “There is so much interference in the gold market. Because of that it will be interesting to see what price level will spark interest in gold again. I do think it’s important to recognize the news backdrop, the real news, not the constant babble that is coming out of the powers that be.”

John Embry continues:


“As an example, a Congressman Gowdy was questioning Timothy Geithner, in a Congressional hearing. It was interesting the way he asked one of his questions. He asked Geithner, ‘Let’s say we only have one more debt ceiling increase that would have to cover all of the future obligations, what number would that be?’

Pento - Inflation to Rapidly Increase Around the World in 2012

Today Michael Pento told King World News that Europe’s economy is falling off a cliff, along with other parts of the world, as inflation continues to take a toll on global GDP. Pento, who founded Pento Portfolio Strategies, also noted that one of the largest corporations in the world is seeing a global slowdown. This is what Pento had to say about what is taking place: “Back in early 2011, I was one of the few economists to warn that global GDP growth would slow dramatically in the near future and that the emerging market economies would not be immune from that upcoming contraction. My prediction was based on the premise that the then incipient sovereign debt crisis in the developed world would cause the export-driven BRIC economies to stall.”

Michael Pento continues:


“We now know that the Japanese economy is contracting, while Europe’s GDP is falling off a cliff. And just last week we received more concrete evidence that emerging market economies are starting to feel the pinch from the developed world’s debt crisis.

Caesar Bryan - Physical Buying in London Reverses Gold Market

Today 25 year veteran Gabelli Gold Fund manager, Caesar Bryan, told King World News the Southern periphery countries of Europe will experience a turbulent period that will be worse than the Great Depression. Gabelli & Company has over $31 billion under management and Caesar Bryan has managed the gold fund since its inception in 1994. Caesar also said physical buying in London helped turn the gold market around. Here is what Bryan had to say about the situation: “Well, I think the gold market was looking fine from yesterday. Then we had reasonable payroll numbers here in the US and that took the gold price down. But then we had a sudden reversal which is quite interesting. My understanding is the PM fix in London saw some physical buying and was fixed a few dollars higher than gold was trading on a spot basis.”

Caesar Bryan continues:


“Then there was some good follow through (to the upside). On a longer-run basis, we are sitting on the moving averages and gold is fine. We are in a bull market. We’ve suffered a number of nasty corrections since 2001. I believe we have had about seven corrections of over 20%. One of 30%, at the time of the Lehman crisis.

Fleckenstein - Fears of a Banking Collapse, Dow 13,000 & Gold

Today Bill Fleckenstein, President of Fleckenstein Capital, told King World News the Federal Reserve is totally out of control and thinks nothing of turning the US dollar into confetti. But first, when asked what his biggest concern was going forward, Fleckenstein responded, “The fact that the Europeans have gotten themselves in this mess, where they pretend like they are not going to print money and then they do print money. But they don’t ever print enough to get past this point.”

Bill Fleckenstein continues:

“Nor do they say, ‘Okay, we’re going to actually be a hard currency and suffer the consequences.’ No one is willing to do that in this day and age. So you’ve got this constant distraction of stumbling around in Europe and there is this fear that they will do something really stupid and the banking system will collapse.

Pento - Gold Will Surge 20% to 30% in the Next Twelve Months

Today Michael Pento told King World News precisely when he expects the next round of quantitative easing to be announced and how much the price of gold will spike. For KWN readers globally, according to Bloomberg News, Michael Pento has correctly predicted the annual high prices of gold for the last three years in a row. Pento, who founded Pento Portfolio Strategies, also gave this extraordinary account of previous rounds of QE and their impact on the gold market: “Global central banks have now entered the twilight zone of monetary policy. Never before in the history of planet earth have we seen such a synchronized counterfeiting scheme to monetize insolvent sovereign debt. However, right now there is a break in the action.”

Michael Pento continues:


“There has not been an announcement or imminent threat of a new round of QE or LTRO form either the Fed or the ECB. So I thought it would be a good idea to look at the Fed and ECB’s recent spate of money printing and its affect on the price of gold both during and after their counterfeiting sprees.

Embry - Gold & Silver Smash Temporary, Oil to Super-Spike

With gold at one point trading over $75 lower and silver down over $3, today John Embry told King World News this is nothing more than a temporary smash and he expects both metals to come roaring right back. Embry, Chief Investment Strategist at Sprott Asset Management, also said oil may quickly spike to a number that will literally cripple the global economy. But first, here is what Embry had this to say about silver: “This relates to the massive blowout in open interest in both gold and silver over the last few weeks. The market is always vulnerable short-term in that situation. Central planners can’t announce they are going to have constant and massive QE or everything would go to the moon. So the idea is floated around that QE3 is off the table.”

John Embry continues:

“The market is so volatile and you’ve had Jim Sinclair on, who I worship when it comes to this stuff, and he was discussing this volatility. He said, ‘Be ready for volatility that’s going to make you feel like your hair’s on fire.’ This is just one example of it.
