The final time we spoke with 321gold founder Bob Moriarty one month in the past, Bob was very clear {that a} main tradable low in valuable metals was imminent. It turned out that Bob nailed the low in silver to the day. However gold wanted to run everybody’s stop-loss orders with a sell-off beneath $1670 within the futures final week, earlier than reversing increased and reaching a excessive of $1738 yesterday.
On this month’s dialog Bob explains why he believes we might have witnessed a serious capitulation in gold shares final week….
Goldfinger:
It’s good to talk with you at present Bob, it’s the ultimate day of the third quarter (Friday September thirtieth) and what 1 / 4 it has been. I need to begin with what you and I talked about final time, and that was this concept that we have been at a sentiment excessive, very close to to a backside in valuable metals. That was just a few weeks in the past. I do know you’ve written a pair issues since then. The place are we at present?
Bob Moriarty:
Nicely, fascinating you say that as a result of there was a backside on September 1st, however anyone continued promoting gold and gold didn’t backside. And apparently sufficient, I wrote a piece not very way back. And I used to be declaring that the sentiment of the US greenback , British pound and the Euro have been at excessive low ranges together with the S&P and the Dow, and that I believed they might flip. And actually, that’s precisely what occurred.
Goldfinger:
So once we spoke on September 1st it felt like a sentiment backside, however because it turned out we would have liked a deeper washout in lots of the mining shares and gold. However silver notably diverged increased, and didn’t affirm the decrease low that gold made on September twenty eighth. The Gold Miners Bullish % Index (a breadth measure that may be helpful at excessive highs/lows) seems to have made a serious washout low final week when the BPGDM reached 3%:

Bob Moriarty:
Nicely, for some shares like Barrick Gold September 1st was the underside, it was the underside for silver too. After which three weeks later, gold bottomed, after which all the things fell aside due to the British pound, and it continued down. However definitely if you happen to have a look at gold at present, it seems to be sturdy. Nevertheless, I’ll say that I believe from a sentiment viewpoint, we had a backside on September 1st after which we had one other retest of that backside. And I believe that gold, silver, and the shares have seen capitulation and may transfer a lot increased from right here. Are you aware who Ed Dowd is?
Goldfinger:
Sure.
Bob Moriarty:
He did an unbelievable interview with Greg Hunter on USA Watchdog known as Unpayable Debt & Vax Inflicting Hell on Earth. I believe the man is completely nice. He was managing billions of {dollars} for BlackRock, and he stated in each means you measure it, sentiment is on the highest excessive, and he thinks gold, silver, and the gold shares will go far increased shortly. Although if you happen to have a look at what occurred within the UK, the bond market is about to explode the world’s monetary system. He is among the few individuals who is continually saying the debt that can’t be paid will blow up the complete system.
Goldfinger:
So let’s speak about that. Proper now, that is Friday afternoon September 3oth. A number of gold miner charts are having a really huge rally this week. It looks like this could possibly be a serious turning level. Earlier than we discuss in regards to the Financial institution of England, are you involved in any respect about tax loss promoting season, possibly making this not a backside, or do you suppose the actually poor efficiency and the way a lot all these shares are down in 2022 makes it a lot much less of an issue that we’re going through with tax loss season?
Bob Moriarty:
I don’t suppose we’re going to have a giant tax loss season. And once more, that’s simply an opinion. However we had main capitulation in gold shares this week. Among the greatest gold shares I’ve ever seen have been down 25, 30, 40% within the final two weeks. So my opinion is there is not going to be a tax loss season this 12 months.
Goldfinger:
Let’s discuss in regards to the Financial institution of England for a second. The British Pound was promoting off very aggressively on the finish of final week, and final Sunday night time the gilt yields have been spiking, so the UK sovereign debt was additionally promoting off. This sharp decline in gilts and the pound have been inflicting margin requires some main establishments, together with huge pension funds within the UK. So the Financial institution of England stepped in and purchased gilts available on the market, and primarily based upon what I’ve seen, they’ve purchased about £10 billion price to date within the final week. What do you make of this transfer by the Financial institution of England?
Bob Moriarty:
Nicely, really, I believe the way in which that you just put it has it in reverse. It was the bond market crashing and pension funds collapsing that precipitated the British Pound to say no and Truss to begin throwing cash at it. Now, do you perceive the mathematical relationship between the bond market, inventory market?
Goldfinger:
Yeah, the risk-free price impacts how we worth shares and the risk-free price is derived from the bond market within the type of the 10-year notice yield.
Bob Moriarty:
Nope, right here’s what I’m making an attempt to get at, which is greater.
Goldfinger:
The bond market is way larger.
Bob Moriarty:
The bond market’s a lot larger. Only a few folks get that. So pension funds in Europe, within the UK, in Japan, in the US have put all the pension cash into bonds and bonds are collapsing as a result of how will you make investments with bonds at -1% once you’ve bought 10% inflation? Now right here’s the numbers I’ve seen within the final week. The German PPI was 45.8% increased than it was in August of final 12 months. The German client worth index went up virtually 11%. It was simply wanting 10% for the EU. And naturally, no bonds are paying that a lot. So what individuals are doing, anyone that’s in bonds has a assured loss. And the longer you maintain the bond, the more cash you lose. So pension funds, and I consider, I believe it’s gone over the sting. I believe the pension funds are doomed and I believe the borrow and spend debt primarily based monetary system, the West is collapsing proper now.
Goldfinger:
So it’s fascinating. Charlie Gasparino, who’s a reporter for Fox Enterprise, made a tweet citing his Federal Reserve sources. So I don’t understand how a lot credence we must always put in it, however I’ll learn it to you: “Federal Reserve officers are getting more and more frightened about monetary stability versus inflation as increased charges crush bonds. Fed rising frightened a few potential Lehman second with a 4% Fed funds price as bonds and all the things tied to them crash. Given the big debt issued prior to now three years at tremendous low rates of interest. A Fed watcher informed me the UK intervention was not a one off and systemic danger may occur in the US too.”
Bob Moriarty:
That’s precisely my level and right here’s the important thing: the bond market is so huge that you just can’t put a band-aid on it and repair it. We aren’t speaking a few crash, we’re speaking about systemic failure of the complete system. And candidly, I don’t suppose there’s some other potential different. Biden is pouring cash into the system, which is growing inflation. With an 8 or 10% inflation price, how is a 4% Federal funds price going to cease inflation? So the selection is hyperinflation to explode the monetary system or a deflationary collapse. And albeit, I believe we’re seeing each of them on the similar time. Actual property is collapsing. This factor with the Nord stream too, I believe is essentially the most insane prison act in world historical past as a result of it just about ensures Europe’s going to explode. So if anybody desires to intentionally destroy the monetary system, they’re doing a extremely nice job proper now.
Goldfinger:
Concerning the Nord stream sabotage, and I do know that we’re not going to agree on this, however I believe there are some information that we are able to set up. The information that we are able to set up for sure are that two of the Nord Stream pipelines have been blown up by anyone and they’re most likely not fixable, or at the least not fixable anytime quickly. In order that sort of destroys the entire Nord stream pipeline. We now have a number of Putin statements this week. There’s a number of statements together with this morning the place he accused the US or their Western companions of blowing up the pipeline. He additionally talked about that the US set the precedent for using nuclear weapons by bombing Japan throughout World Conflict II, after which he talked about twice that he’s not bluffing and that they might use any weapons at their disposal to defend Russia. And now these 4 annexed components of Ukraine at the moment are part of Russia in accordance with Putin. So let’s imagine that the nuclear doomsday clock is ticking fairly quick now primarily based upon all of this rhetoric, and it’s onerous to see a peaceable decision to all of this.
Bob Moriarty:
I might completely agree with that. What I might disagree with is the characterization that he’s threatening a nuclear conflict. Putin is saying he’ll defend Russia and Russia’s pursuits with all the things that he’s bought. He’s not going to permit Russia to be destroyed. And clearly The US has made it clear that they’ve been attacking Russia since 2014. Now, I do know that you just completely disagree with this, however let’s evaluate the honest and free and internationally noticed of each of the 4 provinces with the unlawful US sponsored Coup e’etat in 2014. So the US is taking the place that have been in opposition to democracy and we’re for unlawful intervention. The US retains attacking Russia and the US is making a large mistake of not listening to Putin.
If that they had listened to Putin in January and February, there wouldn’t have been a conflict. Putin stated, “Look, you agreed to not transfer NATO one inch to the East, and also you lied.” And Ukraine agreed to cease attacking and to barter with Donbass instantly, they usually lied. It’s not Putin that’s the unhealthy man. It’s the US and NATO. Putin is combating all of NATO, except Hungary.
Goldfinger:
Putin is pure evil and the largest risk to international peace and prosperity since Hitler. Each time I hear somebody defend Putin or attempt to justify Russia’s assault on Ukraine it’s sickening to me.
Bob Moriarty:
However how can that be true? Putin stated, “I’m going to defend Russia.” What’s evil about that?
Goldfinger:
Defending Russia is just not the identical as invading a sovereign nation and killing tens of hundreds of individuals.
Bob Moriarty:
You imply like Iraq and Syria and Afghanistan?
Goldfinger:
That is the neocon response to all the things about Putin. Once we have been little youngsters, our moms informed us that two wrongs don’t make a proper. And lots of people forgot that. So two wrongs don’t make a proper. And Gandhi stated, “A watch for an eye fixed makes the entire world blind.” So sure, what the US did in Iraq in 2003 was unlawful and improper. What Russia did in Ukraine this 12 months can also be unlawful and improper, interval.
Bob Moriarty:
Unusual sufficient, Putin is a particularly clever lawyer, and from a global legislation viewpoint, all the things that he did is completely authorized. And unusual sufficient, he’s getting lots of pushback from it’s personal folks as a result of he didn’t use shock and awe. Putin didn’t go in and homicide one million folks like the US did in Iraq, okay? Putin has killed someplace between 100 thousand and 200,000 Ukrainian troopers who frankly are Nazis. I imply, they don’t make any bones about it in any way. And if you happen to really have a look at the conduct of the conflict, all the atrocities are being dedicated by the Ukrainians.
Goldfinger:
Did you see Mariupol? Is that this a metropolis of 300,000 folks? It’s fully worn out, completely worn out. And that was not by the Ukrainians. That was as a result of they have been surrounded by the Russians and bombed and shelled into oblivion for 2 months.
Bob Moriarty:
However they didn’t bomb civilians. They bombed Nazis. Good for them.
Goldfinger:
Oh, how do you not bomb civilians? It’s a metropolis. There’s civilians all over the place. In fact, they bombed civilians, Bob. That is such an illogical and irrational argument you’re making.
Bob Moriarty:
All the Ukrainian residents are in Poland and Germany, and Latvia. They left Mariupol.
Goldfinger:
So Mariupol was attacked within the first days of the conflict. Lots of people didn’t have an opportunity to flee or they didn’t have the power to flee. So look, I’m simply going to finish that there as a result of we’re by no means going to see eye to eye on Ukraine. I’ll end by asking, is there a means for this to really peacefully resolve? Let’s say the US tells Ukraine, “Look, if you happen to hold making an attempt to take again these 4 annex territories, you’re going to poke the bear just a few too many instances and Putin may go nuclear. So why don’t we simply do that the place you retain what you bought, we’ll take you into NATO, don’t assault these territories anymore, and we’ll simply sort of have a brand new border drawn.” And can that be a peaceable decision?
Bob Moriarty:
Nicely, Merkel has come up and stated, Ukraine ought to negotiate and Ukraine ought to acknowledge that they aren’t going to regain the territory. The previous chancellor of Germany has come out and stated, Ukraine ought to negotiate. It’s the US and the UK who’re telling Ukraine to proceed combating, and it’s complete madness. I imply, there’s no means in hell they’re going to win. And Robert, I’m telling you, the Ukrainians are getting their asses kicked and why they proceed to struggle is insane. Fairly bluntly, you suppose Putin’s a foul man, I’m going to inform you flat out. Zelensky and his buddies have been robbing Ukraine blind and all the things the man says proves he’s on medicine. Seven months in the past the world understood Ukraine was essentially the most corrupt nation in Eurpope and now the Pope has put Zelensky up for sainthood. What am I lacking?
Goldfinger:
All proper, so turning to junior mining. So if this actually is a sentiment washout, an epic sentiment washout. It’s onerous to match it to markets of the previous, nevertheless it’s bought to be up there with October of 2008, late 2015. It’s bought to be up there on the record. So if that is the actual deal, what shares are you shopping for right here? What junior miners have your consideration?
Bob Moriarty:
In March of 2020, I’m going to learn it to you. The gold miners’ bullish share index bought right down to zero. Actually each single inventory that it tracked went unfavorable. It’s at 3.45% now. It’s at the least as low at present because it was in December of 2015. And from January of 2016 till August of 2016, the indexes have been up 300%. A number of shares have been up 500 to a thousand %. When you take the inventory, and I can’t commit it to memory proper now, however I went to see Quentin in Colorado and Wyoming in October of 2008 and his firm had gone right down to ¢15 a share. That they had ¢22 a share in money after I was there they usually went as much as $1.65 in 18 months. You’re going to see that throughout the board.
You could possibly purchase the largest piece of shit inventory within the universe within the useful resource space, and it’s going to double or triple or quadruple. The actually nice shares, and there are such a lot of extremely good shares proper now, are going to go up 500-1000%. I’ll offer you an instance of 1, and let me make certain I pronounce the title proper. There’s a inventory known as Kesslerun. The image is KES-V and it’s promoting at present for ¢3 a share. It’s bought ¢3 a share in money they usually got here out with the press launch on the twenty second of September saying that they had 11.6 meters, 14 grams per tonne. I imply there’s inventory that must be a house run and it’s bought a market cap of a $3 million and it’s bought $3 million in money. I don’t suppose you could possibly lose cash at present. You could possibly purchase something. It’s going to be a repeat of 2008 and 2016 and 2020. Do you occur to recollect what silver went to in March of 2020?
Goldfinger:
Yeah, I believe it dropped right down to $12.
Bob Moriarty:
It went beneath 12. And do you bear in mind what occurred to it from there?
Goldfinger:
Yeah, it went virtually straight up.
Bob Moriarty:
Precisely, silver went up 150% in 11 months between March 2020 and February 2021.
Silver (September 2019 -April 2021)
Goldfinger:
That was an unbelievable transfer. And there’s lots of silver shares which are actually, actually crushed down proper now. There are a few firms that we’ve talked about beforehand that I’d wish to replace. One is Eloro Assets (TSX-V:ELO, OTC:ELRRF) they usually do have fairly a little bit of silver on the Iska Iska challenge in Bolivia. They printed an up to date mannequin final week and a few drill outcomes updates. Looks as if they nonetheless must drill these deeper holes into this tin porphyry goal to show their geological mannequin right. However as it’s, the deposit(s) is getting fairly a bit bigger they usually’re going to publish a maiden useful resource early subsequent 12 months. Is that one that you’d purchase that would profit from a giant transfer up in silver?
Bob Moriarty:
Unusual sufficient, the shares which are going to realize essentially the most are going to be the shares which are the most affordable, not the most costly. Now, I had an ongoing argument with the administration of Eloro who initially have been speaking a few useful resource of 500 or 600 million tonnes. I informed Tom “you’ve bought a Caldera, okay? And the entire thing is mineralized and also you’ve bought two to a few billion tonnes” they usually’re coming round to my viewpoint. I believe it’s completely right, they’re going to finish up towards two or 3 billion tonnes. I believe it’s going to be the largest silver-equivalent deposit on this planet. They usually’ve bought multple tin porphyry calderas. Tin is in a long run bull market. They’ve solely bought a C$220 million market cap, there’s simply dozens and dozens of spectacular firms with nice deposits which have been hammered.
I’ll offer you one other one. Cartier Iron (CSE:CFE) is promoting for $.07 they usually’ve bought $.10 per share in fairness holdings of Eloro shares, so if you need Eloro, you shouldn’t purchase Eloro, you can purchase Cartier, CFE on the Enterprise. However consider it or not, the actually crap shares, and I imply the unhealthy shares with poor administration, they’re those which are going to go up essentially the most.
Goldfinger:
Yeah, it’s fascinating that you just say that and simply how low-cost a few of these juniors are proper now. If we journey to the Yukon for a second, the Yukon is residence to a number of the greatest tales within the junior gold sector. Snowline Gold (CSE:SGD, OTC:SNWGF) is a giant new discovery story that some individuals are speculating could possibly be as giant as 50 million ounces. Snowline has put out a number of the greatest outcomes of 2022 in the complete sector, together with an eye fixed popping 283 meter intercept averaging 2.3 grams/tonne gold.
Snowline Gold (Every day)
After which Banyan Gold (TSX-V:BYN, OTC:BYAGF), if you happen to check out Banyan at present, it has a few C$100 million market cap on the enterprise alternate in Canada, they usually have a useful resource of 4 million ounces of gold. And the CEO is Tara Christie, and he or she’s been speaking about how she believes that it’s going to be six to seven million ounces after they put out a useful resource replace by the tip subsequent 12 months (PEA in 2024).
Banyan Gold Street Forward: Useful resource Replace in 2023, PEA and graduation of allowing in 2024
So if you concentrate on it, if you happen to take her at her phrase and plug in 6,000,000 ounces at at present’s C$100 million market cap, you don’t should be a rocket scientist to do the mathematics. That’s about C$16 per ounce of gold within the floor for a really, very giant gold deposit in an awesome location inside 30 miles of an working gold mine. That appears absurdly low-cost to me. And if gold does run again as much as $2,000/oz, my guess can be these ounces are going to be price much more, they’ll be price $50/oz or possibly much more.
Bob Moriarty:
Really, it’s going to be much more, extra like $400 an oz. in a takeover. Let’s soar for only a minute to the Fed. I believe I commented and stated that the Fed has painted itself right into a nook. If the Fed reverses in opposition to the identical factor that the UK did and goes from QT into QE, you’re going to see the worth of gold and silver explode. And albeit, I believe that’s what the Fed at all times does. When the inventory market begins to crash, they begin throwing cash at it.
Goldfinger:
That’s definitely what markets have turn into accustomed to. Proper now all people’s betting that there’s going to be no Fed pivot this 12 months. However clearly that’s dependent upon markets. And if the market does get way more uncontrolled, then almost certainly we’ll see the Fed reenter the market with some type of yield curve management, one thing much like the Financial institution of England, proper?
Bob Moriarty:
Nicely, what occurred within the UK, the pension funds collapsing might be extra essential than the inventory market collapsing. Okay. No one’s going to consider that till it occurs. However what occurred within the UK was an acknowledgement that the pension funds are completely underwater. The complete EU is to date behind the ability curve when it comes to rates of interest that the bond market is confetti and each pension fund in Europe is invested in authorities bonds which have misplaced a 3rd of their worth to date.
Goldfinger:
Let’s wrap up with a last query so far as the broader inventory market goes. So if we’re at a turning level for valuable metals, does that additionally most likely imply that inventory indexes such because the S&P 500 will backside out right here quickly?
Bob Moriarty:
I believe there’s going to be a aid rally for the S&P – the S&P lately had a Every day Sentiment Index (DSI) of 5 and that’s fairly near being a historic low. Nevertheless, all the things that’s pumped up on account of the Fed pumping cash into the system goes to break down. And that features the bond market and the inventory market. One of many issues that everyone appears to be lacking and Putin’s been very clear about this, he believes that the debt primarily based monetary system of the West must collapse. And it’s his intention with China to provide you with a brand new monetary system that’s not primarily based on debt. What the world must do, and I believe one factor you and I can agree on, is the extent of debt on this planet can by no means be paid.
Now, fairly blunt, the very best answer can be a debt jubilee and no person desires to speak about that. And all people desires to fake the debt goes to receives a commission. The debt is just not going to receives a commission, interval. There’s not sufficient cash on this planet. And when folks understand it isn’t going to receives a commission, the bond market’s going to go to zero, however the inventory market’s going to go to zero and all people’s going to move for the coin retailer to go purchase some silver and gold.
Goldfinger:
And on that notice, I’m going to move over to my gold bullion seller and purchase some gold proper now. As at all times, thanks in your time and insights Bob, till subsequent month.
