Gartman Remains Perfect As A Contrarian Indicator In Gold; Problems On The Comex?
Dennis does not follow or understand the physical market. He’s too blinded by his own self-proclaimed market expertise. The fact is that he has his head up his ass when it comes to the precious metals market.
The key to the precious metals Kingdom at this stage of the game is to follow and understand what is happening in the physical market. Pay no attention to reports of IMF selling, BIS wife-swapping and Wall Street misdirection. The fact of the matter is that Asia, Russia, India, Turkey and the Middle East are buying up as much physical gold and silver as they can and the Western Central Banks are running out of gold to sell.
Here is the information you need to know about the physical market, which is contained in the “JB” gold market report posted every night a www.lemetropolecafe.com in the Midas report on the James Joyce Table (I honestly do not know how anyone can invest/trade this market without reading Midas every night):
“Demand is extremely good from Indonesia and Thailand. There’s also good buying from local buyers

The bulliondesk.com reports:
Premiums for gold bars in Tokyo rose to 50 cents this week from 25 cents last week, according to one source. They had stood at 50 cents during the first week of July but had been in negative territory in the preceding months…
“[Gold] has started to see quite good demand overall from Asian sector, Far East and India,” a Switzerland-based trader said. “At these levels there has been some good demand and activity there and this should lend some good support to the gold market.”
“Even in the Middle East we are starting to see some more demand coming in… overall, we’re starting to see some more interest because the market is trying to consolidate,” he added
In Europe, requests for kilobars have picked up…
As per JB’s report, the import premium in Viet Nam has kicked up to $26 over spot gold. This means Viet Nam is buying aggressively. Same with Shanghai ($3.50 over world gold, a relatively high premium for that market). People, this means demand is running hot vs. supply in those markets.
In addition, the Russian Central Bank reports adding another 6 tonnes of gold during June. The ECB did not sell any gold once again last week AND, this is the first time I have seen this in a very long time, one bank actually added 1 million ounces in coin.
(Did Gartman happen to mention any of this on CNBC yesterday LOL).
As we are now seeing with delivery delays and massive silver withdrawals recently from the Comex, the paper game that has been played by the big bullion banks in London and New York is finally being understood for what it is by big U.S. investors (see Greenlight Capital’s announcement a year ago that it dumped its large GLD position and replaced it with physical gold that is safekeeps privately).
If you don’t pay attention to and understand the dynamics of the global physical market, you leave yourself exposed to the mercy of the financial media frauds and fabricators. If you need some “soul food,” watch for Stewart Thomson’s posts on http://www.321gold.com/. Here’s his latest: LINK
“Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper. This paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist…by legal looters” (Atlas Shrugged)
Please don’t let the Dennis Gartman’s, JP Morgans and Goldman Sachs’ of the world legally steal your gold/silver.
