View Full Version : Jim Sinclair - 1980 Was a Warmup, Gold to Range $400 a Day

Today legendary trader and investor Jim Sinclair told King World News that movements in gold will become so violent that gold will become untradable to individuals. Sinclair also said that gold will be the last great bubble as it goes into a geometric uptrend. Here is what Sinclair had to say about what we can expect to see going forward: “Liquidity, it’s as simple as that. All of this is the event that’s taken place many times in history. Many times in history there has been an inflation caused by volatility in currencies called currency induced cost push inflation.”

This great kick of the can down the road will only be cured by a commodity currency. That’s how it’s been cured all throughout history and that’s how it will be cured this time. 1980 was a dress rehearsal. This time gold is going into the system.



The last man standing will be the standard that will hold the currency and correct the problem, that’s gold. That is the only investment that will make it through this turbulent period, regardless of how volatile it may become.



We opened up the week in which the price of gold has changed $60. But we’ve been changing to $60 during a day’s session. There will be times when it will be in the hundreds (of dollars) during the session. You will easily see a $400 (range in gold) in a day, there is no question about it.



Back in 1980 we had days where gold moved $150. What do you think is about to happen if what we’ve just been through is the beginning of a geometric uptrend? Gold will be untradable to the individual.

The younger generation has no concept of this. They look at inflation as ebullient business and they look at deflation as being a breadline. They don’t recognize that during a period of extremely difficult business conditions, (you see) some of the highest rates of inflation.



It’s a question of whether our indicators will ever show inflation again. But the truth is if you go back to how the inflation was calculated in the 1970s, you get a good look at what’s going on right now....

There’s no question that every market, prior to reaching maximum valuation will take on a characteristic. That characteristic we’ve defined as a ‘Rhino Horn.‘ There has been no such event in the gold market and in the gold share market even less so.



There is no evidence of a top. Before this market is over, we will see what we’ve seen in all markets that go into it. The last great bubble which will not break is gold.”

Sinclair speak but...............the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ... is a geometric progression with common ratio 3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

Sounds like going up in leaps and bounds to me;D

Nope. It means that individuals will not have the ability to trade paper gold because the day to day volatility and margin requirements will be too much for an individual to deal with. Individuals will only be able to take possession of physical and enjoy the rollercoaster ride as trading will be done on a minute to minute basis for only those that have minute to minute access to the market.

I'm keeping a lookout for the characteristic being defined as a "Rhino Horn"...

They were propped up for the time being! Anyway his predictions re specifical events and timelines has been less than stellar... Question is if this is intentional by Mr Seligman?

I've noticed that every time physical makes some big moves a lot of prophets come out and talk about how gold and silver are going to have 10% moves, to hold tight, and it's gonna go to the moon. Meh. I'm still waiting for that black swan event that everyone was talking about in 2008,

Does anyone remember Sinclair/Seligmans countdown to USD collapse in 2009?

He predicted that the Dollar would collapse after 7th of November 2009. This is a USDX chart going back 3 years:

Sorry no link either, but USDX turned around in beginning of November 2009 at a low of .74 and went up to allmost .90 in a matter of months. If someone can find a postable chart of USDX going back three years at least and post it here I would be grateful. Here is a page showing who Sinclair/Seligman really is:
