“Zero Hour is the moment the price of physical gold starts to run away from the ‘paper price’ you see on CNBC’s ticker. The most likely catalyst is a chain of events that goes like this: Western central banks have leased their gold to commercial banks like JPMorgan Chase at an interest rate of less than 1%. The commercial banks have sold that metal and ploughed the proceeds into assets that earn more than 1%. The chain of custody on gold bars has become so cloudy that a major exchange like the Comex in New York is liable to ‘default’ on a gold contract – settling in cash, instead of metal. A rush for real metal would then be underway.”
