Are XAU and XAG going to be phased out for forex brokers this July by the NFA? I heard this from a GFT representative.

With fiat currencies collapsing I can see them pulling a stunt like this. They already keep increasing the margin requirements for the contracts and making it more difficult to trade gold and silver.

The end is near.

Yep, I have always thought they would do it....I'm thinking once Gold hits around the $2000 mark they will regulate the shit out of Gold n Silver! Cause these will be the only things of use once some of the BIG currencies collapse ie USD!

Paper metals are a farce anyways, there's not enough "real stuff" to back all open positions. E-gold/silver is a shell game.

Physical is the only way to go for the long haul.

fwiw,

I want to buy some silver bullion but I am having a hard time pulling the trigger, I keep looking at silver chart and thinking "this thing has to correct at some point". But I would not be surprised if it just keeps going.

Well, if you believe silver will go to the triple digits then just buy a little now and then dollar cost average on the way down or up. I know I'm going to get flamed for saying "dollar cost average". But if you believe in the bull market then any price today is a good price.

Well what would be an alternative to gold and silver if they prohibit it in FOREX? AUS, CAD?

You go to coin shops and buy the real stuff.

I would have 6 months worth of non-perishable foods and a decent supply of water.

If the dollar crashes, there will most likely be disruptions in the food supply chain as the US transitions to a global currency.

Some experts were saying the same in april 2010, when they said that GOLD hit a record high, and that the bubble was going to crash and gold was going down like a rollercoaster.

See what happened.

I think GOLD will keep bullish for all 2011. (25-30% for 2011)

Then we will see. Hard to make expectations for 2012 right now.

To the best of my knowledge,you're the first person to call this right. I wish you were wrong. Looks like OTC PM will be banned starting July 15th 2011.

Try to remember that there is a market outside of the US private investor. The biggest market in gold is in London and as usual the biggest buyers are making their purchases there.
Perspective needed re the market as a whole though it obviously "sucks" for US investors

It's no surprise to know that the largest firms help keep the price of silver and gold at artificial lowered levels through the use of paper silver/gold.

There's only one solution to this problem, and its what Ron Paul says, get back to the gold/silver currencies. Forget FIAT money, it has never EVER produced a longterm winning currency.

Just read the articles and email communications regarding the alleged JP Morgan silver manipulation. Pretty disturbing. Will be interesting to see how this pans out, and if it does prove to be true how silver will respond.

I guess the question is What value can you put on it when it becomes the preferred method of payment, when fiat currency becomes worthless (as a matter of exchanging goods) and gold is impossible to have.

I am considering (seriously) heading to the Perth Mint and buying up some silver just for that day when hell opens up and swallows all those bits of paper with numbers written on them.

And as LVG stated, you can average it out if need be. With the new ruling coming in to stop the trading of silver by small partys there may be a decline but holding some physical for the time when it is needed will outweight that.
