Subject: The Elephant in the Room Just Stepped on Another Gold Rigger
Another one bites the dust...
Barclays Head of Spot Gold Trading Leaves Bank
With the mass exodus of gold and silver "traders" from the London Fix naturally people are of course wondering about the ramifications of ENDING the "Silver Fix" in August and most likely the Gold Fix soon after.
Right? You are wondering about that Right? It keeps you up at night Right?
Well, if you aren't you SHOULD BE. I guarantee you that Jeffrey Christian is up all night...every night worrying about what's going to happen. You see, the Gold and Silver Fix are more than just numbers posted in the financial news outlets every day. They are "Benchmark Numbers" defined in every complicated gold and silver derivative contract written in the last 50 years! They are a main operating components of TRILLIONS of dollars worth of gold and silver derivatives. Many very, very complex derivatives created and promoted by the likes of Goldman Sachs starting in the 1980's by Robert Rubin and none other than Jeffrey Christian. They keep the gold and silver prices in check and they are a REQUIRED PART of the current un-backed fiat monetary system.
If those contracts die because they were poorly constructed legally...then the whole system dies.
And they were all contingent upon the "London Fix". That is/was the ONLY physical gold and silver proxy price around the world and that is what is defined in almost every gold and silver derivative contract written...including integrated into the massively complex and complicated monetary swap agreements. (And no they can't use the COMEX prices because those are point in time futures and options contracts...NOT a physical proxy.)
The death of the London Fix is leaving a gaping hole in the legal structure of gold and silver derivatives. So far, there have been no alternatives put forth....and even if there were what Counter Party in their right mind that is on the losing side of the derivative agreement would want to legally change the terms of their contract?
The situation is totally FUBAR and the criminals involved in the gold and silver rigging know it. That's why they are running for the hills!
May the Road you choose be the Right Road.
