You want me to.


You need to explain WHY when there is a demand and a supply it is not a 'market.'



Hi Sprint,
I suppose it's because a lot of the gold is leveraged up to 100 x
on the market -
it's just paper gold - not real gold -
you tell me after you've watched the video please?


it is not leveraged.
If it was, that is a market. A leveraged market.
Leveraged means you pay only a deposit.

I believe you are saying 95% of the trades in gold do not result in a piece of gold being given from one person to another in exchange for cash.
Is that it ?

Lawrence Lepard is interviewed.




From the video

13:20
" There can't be a clearer sign that price discovery
is impossible in this totally fake paper market.
Whilst fake paper gold is traded at $70 trillion a year,
annual mine production is a mere $213 billion."

18:39
"There are 100 paper contracts for every ounce of gold
that exists and I suspect that leverage is larger today"

No - I'm making an appeal to authority that
Lawrence Lepard knows what he's talking about
and other people here don't.

No -
you need to watch the video and try to follow
the argument of Lawrence Lepard -
the economist from Harvard University.

Tell me what you think?

I haven't watched the video but what I take from what is being said is that there is not enough gold to cover all the owners of gold to have their gold in their hands. IE paper gold.What would happen if every gold owner wanted their gold? It'd be like a run on banks who do not hold enough money to pay it out.
