Swiss Poll in favour of Gold Initiative.

KWN weekly – October 21, 2014

Greyerz: “Swiss Gold Initiative Poll: YES 45% – NO 39% – Undecided 16%

A report published in a Swiss newspaper yesterday showed that the YES votes in favour of the Gold Initiative are ahead in the polls and this is particularly pleasing since I have personally been involved in supporting the call for Sound Money in Switzerland. (more…)

THE MATTERHORN INTERVIEW – October 2014: Keith Barron PhD

“ I believe we’ve seen Peak Gold* ”

Podcast interview:
On behalf of Matterhorn Asset Management, financial journalist Lars Schall talked with exploration geologist and mining entrepreneur Dr. Keith Barron.

Keith is a scientist and he explains in no uncertain terms what is going on in the mining industry, the false accounting relative to the cost of exploration, what happened when gold went up to 1,900, why gold versus USD simply must go to at least 5,000, why ‘gold above ground’, if anything, is overstated and why the Swiss GoldInitiative is indeed very important and not just for the Swiss People, as well as Keith Barron’s view on Silver.

This is clearly one of the best interviews on the subject of gold mining and a must listen for all Gold investors or anyone interested in gold, silver and mining

Weltwoche: Raubgold

Weltwoche, 16.10.

Wie die Schweizer ihren Goldschatz an die Amerikaner verloren. Und wie die Verantwortlichen dabei die Bundesverfassung umbogen und das Völkerrecht verletzten. Bleibt die Frage: Warum?
Von Markus Schär

«Eine geradezu hysterische Feindschaft gegen den Goldstandard verbindet Staatsinterventionisten aller Art. Sie spüren offenbar klarer und sensibler als viele Befürworter der freien Marktwirtschaft, dass Gold und wirtschaftliche Freiheit untrennbar sind.»

Alan Greenspan, 1966, Eine harmlose Bemerkung lässt den Blogger Markus M. Müller aufhorchen. Die dreissig Prozent des Goldbestandes der Schweizerischen Nationalbank, die im Ausland gelagert sind, seien auf zwei Länder verteilt, schreibt die SNB in ihrem Papier «Gold-Initiative – häufig gestellte Fragen», das sie zur Volksabstimmung vom 30. November auf ihrer Website aufgeschaltet hat: «20 Prozent der Goldreserven werden bei der Zentralbank in England gelagert, 10 Prozent bei der Zentralbank von Kanada.» Seit über zehn Jahren halte die SNB ihr Gold ausschliesslich in diesen beiden Ländern – also nicht (mehr) im mythenumrankten Fort Knox in Kentucky: «Die früher bei der Fed in den USA gelagerten Bestände wurden anlässlich der Goldverkäufe abgebaut.» (more…)

Swiss Poll in favour of Gold Initiative.

Firstly, from the campaign team in Switzerland, a ‘very warm thank you’ for all contributors thus far to the Swiss Gold Initiative campaign fund.

These funds will be fully spent on reaching some 80% of the Swiss population via social media. The national campaign, with door to door leaflets and road side billboards, will officially kick off next week with a press conference held by the Initiative committee. We will keep you posted of course and it will be well publicised in the independent media.

This type of campaign is unique for typical Swiss referenda and will impact anyone involved in the gold space and, more importantly, everyone who is not involved in Gold. This is a unique opportunity to change the debt/inflation game back to sound finance. This effort must simply be made if we ever wish to return to a level playing field for citizens around the world.
To go viral on over 5,000,000 Swiss is a costly affair and we would therefore ask anyone out there, if you haven’t already, to lend your support using the donation button on the right. This will allow us to drive this campaign to the very last day. The arguments against the Elite NO camp are very strong. Thank you again.

Greyerz: “A few weeks ago it was a very interesting situation where the fundamentals and the technicals came together. It became obvious that we were going to see the start of a major fall in the global stock markets, both short and long-term. The Dow has already fallen 1,000 points since then…… (more…)

Podcast – Egon von Greyerz: “Nigel Farage (MEP and leader of UKIP) was recently in Switzerland to speak about the EU. His view is that the UK and all other EU members should exit the EU since it is a failed union. At the same meeting the Swiss Gold Initiative was discussed. Farage is a proponent of sound money and gold. The Gold Initiative referendum on 30 November could be a game changer for the gold market……..

Greyerz: “Eric, we’ve had a long period now when all news is good news for stocks, and that’s typical for a bull market. But we are now very close to a period when all news will instead be bad news for global stock markets. For instance, the mainstream media is telling people that stocks are falling because of the end of QE and the Ebola crisis.
“Previously, this type of bad news was simply ignored. But as I said, everything that comes out now will begin to add to the selloff in global stock markets. People being interviewed on KWN have discussed Ebola… (more…)

Will this save the Swiss financial system?

by Egon von Greyerz – October 2014

swisssolidityflag On 30 November 2014 the Swiss People has the opportunity to determine not just the fate of their own financial system but also to be the catalyst for the return to sound money in the Western World.

“Greyerz: “Eric, this year we have been talking about the autumn being a critical time in terms of being an inflection point for the world economy and global markets. In every single area of the world there are problems. Japan alone has enough debt and deficits that that when it implodes it should create a worldwide depression. And China, the former growth engine of the world, is struggling. It’s important to look at the consumption of commodities in China. Right now they are declining rapidly. Then we have the shadow banking system in China which is in a massive bubble. In Europe, only one major economy, which is Germany, has kept the eurozone alive. But German growth has now come to a halt… (more…)

“Greyerz: “Eric, we are all familiar with the fact central banks have printed many trillions of dollars in the last 2 years. This has been a futile attempt by these central banks to save their economies. But they haven’t saved a single economy in any country. All central banks have done is to exacerbate the problem by expanding their balance sheets with risky or virtually worthless assets. And the principal beneficiaries of this money printing have been the banks and big investors. Today no central bank has enough capital to cover their exposure when the next crisis starts. And, Eric, we both know that there are so many events which can trigger a crisis that would be many times greater than the one the world went through in 2008 – 2009… (more…)
