Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles-Franklin joined us. We've seen a rather rapid decrease in precious metals prices during the past week. But Andy isn't concerned in the least. It's just an effort by the bullion banks to squeeze out weak holders. But it's destined to fail, because the people who actually take delivery from the Comex will not be cowed. They are family offices, hedge funds and sovereign wealth funds who understand that the time to buy gold is now. Andy explains that we are approaching contract expiration and that the goal is to stop this group from standing for delivery. It's all part of an elaborate effort to stop the outflow of metals from the Comex. And it's doomed to failure. Which is why the price for gold is going up no matter what.
Andy Schectman is the President and CEO of Miles Franklin Ltd. Precious Metals.
