Gold & Silver Price Manipulation Class Action Brought on Behalf of Canadian Investors
Fri, 15 Apr, 2016 5:04 PM EDT
TORONTO, April 15, 2015 /CNW/ - A class action lawsuit seeking
$1 billion in damages on behalf of Canadian investors was launched
today in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
The class action alleges that the defendants, including
The Bank of Nova Scotia, conspired to manipulate prices
in the silver market under the guise of the benchmark
fixing process, known as the London Silver Fixing,
for a fifteen-year period.
It is further alleged that the defendants manipulated the bid-ask
spreads of silver market instruments throughout the trading day in
order to enhance their profits at the expense of the class.
This alleged conduct affected not only those investors who bought and
sold physical gold & silver, but those who bought and sold gold &
silver-related financial instruments.
Law enforcement and regulatory authorities in the United States,
Switzerland, and the United Kingdom have active investigations into the
defendants' conduct in the precious metals market.
The case is on behalf of all persons in Canada who, between
January 1, 1999 and August 14, 2014, transacted in a
silver market instrument either directly or indirectly,
including
investors who participated in an investment or equity fund, mutual
fund, hedge fund, pension fund or any other investment vehicle that
transacted in a gold & silver market instrument.

Sprott Unleashed: “Everything is a Lie… I Dream of the Day Comex Paper Exchange Can’t Deliver Gold”
Mac Slavo November 22nd, 2015
http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/sprott-unleashed-everything-is-a-lie-i-dream-of-the-day-comex-paper-exchange-cant-deliver-gold_11222015
Everything says to me that the demand for gold is in excess of the supply. And, of course, you wonder why the price would go down, but people look at the COMEX which stays manipulated, which is so obvious to me what’s going on. We have 5 tons of physical gold. We have something like 1500 tons of claims against that 5 tons. So to be quite direct about your question, yes, I kind of wonder any day, is somebody going to snatch those 5 tons of gold, and we end up with some kind of cash settlement. But then you have to think, if we would have a cash settlement, having taken gold from 1900 down to 1100, all under the threat of a rate increase for the last 5 years, which has never happened and may not ever happen, and then all of a sudden they’re like “well, really there is no gold here, we’ll just cash settle it at $1,100.” Meanwhile, we’ve lost $800 on a false claim. And perhaps maybe people in the know know about this, they keep the price of precious metals suppressed because they are the canary in the coal mines.

Sprott Announces $898m Hostile Bid For Physically-Backed Gold & Silver Funds
By Kitco News
Tursday April 23, 2015 2:10 PM
http://www.kitco.com/news/2015-04-23/Sprott-Announces-898m-Hostile-Bid-For-Physically-Backed-Gold-Silver-Funds.html
(Kitco News) - In an attempt to better position its products, Sprott Asset Management announced an $898 million hostile bid for two competing funds backed by gold and silver.
According to the company’s latest press release, Sprott intends to acquire the Central Gold Trust (GTU) and Silver Bullion Trust (SBT), two funds similar to its own physical gold and silver funds. The offer would entail GTU and SBT unitholders to trade their units for units into Sprott’s funds.
“Sprott today announced that it intends, together with Sprott Physical Gold Trust, to commence an offer (the "GTU Exchange Offer") to acquire all of the outstanding units of GTU and, together with Sprott Physical Silver Trust, to commence an offer (the "SBT Exchange Offer") to acquire all of the outstanding units of SBT,” the release said.
“The aggregate value of these proposed transactions would be approximately US$898 million and the resulting Sprott Physical Trusts would be highly-liquid, best-in-class bullion vehicles managed by a firm with a globally-recognized precious metals franchise,” it added.
According to the details of the offer, the proposed exchange offer would unlock $3.33 per unit for CGT holders and $0.96 per unit for SBT holders.
“Together, the offers would unlock US$69.5 million in unitholder value,” the release said.
Sprott’s CEO, John Wilson, said in the press release that through physical trusts, the company is providing unitholders with “access to a secure, convenient and exchange-traded way to hold physical gold and silver.”
The company also announced that it is exploring the option of adding coin delivery alternatives to Sprott Physical Trusts “to make their existing physical redemption features more accessible to smaller investors.”
“Adding coin delivery to the Sprott Physical Trusts would be subject to approval by the unitholders of the applicable Sprott Physical Trust,” it added.
According to the company website, Sprott’s Physical Gold Trust has roughly 1.3 million gold ounces held under management as of March 31. Sprott’s Silver Trust holds about 49 million ounces as of the same date.

Newest release from Sprott, only 3 weeks ago, (since July 14,2014) SGDM is the Sprott gold miner ETF.
So new to market that the chart doesnt even produce a 20 moving average ,or bollinger band,yet. There's just not much to look at technically yet.
Later ,I will try to post the more complete profile . What interests me most at the moment is the listing of the individual miners ( Holdings)
which shows the personality and ingredients that comprise what the analytic decision makers at Sprott ,and Zacks, think make for their best team of miners to play with.
Most of the holdings should be familiar to those who follow the miner sector. This ETF is heavily weighted by Franco-Nevada,Randgold Resources, and Goldcorp at the top, and these 3 comprise almost half the whole weighting.
Its an interesting list of holdings. How well the collection will perform together versus separate miners individually , will be interesting to watch.
My first impression upon seeing such a heavy weighting placed on FNV,GOLD and GG,essentially means that owning this ETF is like owning those 3 miners, plus some frosting provided by the other 22 holdings, like sprinkles of jimmies on the Franco Nevada cake.
One could right away make an arguement, ....why not just buy Franco Nevada,Goldcorp, and Randgold.... and more importantly....buy them At the best bargain price dip in their chart patterns,which means....a year ago. when FNV was bottoming at the 30 dollar area. that sort of idea. Would you want to buy FNV now while it sits at a topping zone,almost a double from last year's low. I would not.
Goldcorp bottomed around 20...last December , the low for 2013. Why buy GG now , at 28 , while it sits in a topping resistance zone, with big resistance overhead at 30-32 ? I would not.
and the story is the same with Randgold, it bottomed last year, in June and then in late december /early January around 60, after falling in a huge downwave from a peak at 125, back in fall 2012. This 2014 rally back to 90 area now represents a 50% bounce, the Fibonacci retracement zone that could easily spell resistance and a down wave to follow.
why buy Randgold here? I would not.
and most other miners have made a rally wave in early 2014, then a moderate pullback from March to June, and now another effort to rally some more, and in my view this current rally is looking tired, and waiting to reverse back down.
So is now, or these last 3 weeks the right time to jump into this new Miner ETF ? or might we see a better pullback in coming weeks ,to get in at a better bargain.
If I just look at the chart of Franco Nevada, which has just made a double this year from 30 to 60....far surpassing the performance of most miners, I could never bring myself to buy it now at such a lofty top zone. A normal pullback now ,would /should take FNV back to test the 45 area where the key ma and bollinger bottom band sits.
IF Goldcorp,Randgold and FNV decide to make that pullback ,what will that do to the price of Sprott's new ETF? I imagine we would see a noteworthy pullback.
For my money, I anticipate a pullback in miners, the rest of this year. but good guessing or not, the technical trader has to consider waiting now for the pullback after the rally we've had so far this year.
When I look at the chart of Franco Nevada, I think two things.... 1)...."I Knew I shoulda bought at 30,damit"
and 2) I sure aint buying it now at 60
I might think about it at 45.

heres GDX chart to compare it with Franco Nevada. Look how different they are !! I'd love to hear anyone's explanation why FNV has been such a singular stellar performer ,far beyond the whole mining sector. (dont say its because of their oil holdings...) Watching FNV these recent years, one would get the feeling that FNV "never goes down". Most days when other miners go down, FNV stays up, goes up, always up. performing just like the S+P... its a bit strange to watch. while most all other miners have collapsed since 2011, FNV finally made a big downwave in 2013, but while most miners look like the GDX chart, still wallowing in a low zone, heres Franco Nevada surging all the way back to the top again.
Heres GDX

so will Sprott's SGDM perform like Franco Nevada ? or will it perform more like GDX ?
