Ponce's Maxim is definately justified.
from Jeff Nielson's article . . .
"If one wants to understand how bankers can “sell paper gold” while not actually selling gold, they only need to read the GLD prospectus. This was previously dissected in an older commentary (“The Seven Sins of GLD”), and a particularly significant technicality was noted.
In the event of “willful default” by the custodian of GLD bullion (primarily HSBC bank), the custodian has no obligation to deliver gold to unit-holders – even if unit-holders demand delivery of what (they undoubtedly believe) is “their gold”. What is a “willful default”? It’s where the custodian actually possesses abundant gold to satisfy “legal claims” against that gold, but simply chooses not to deliver that gold."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Almost identically, JPM holds the same custodial position in SLV. They, too, according to the prospectus, cannot be held liable for fraud if they choose to take for themselves all the silver in SLV. All they have to do is pay for it with currency.
As I have said many times, SLV and GLD were created to help the bankers perpetuate the paper game. These entities allow the bankers to use investors' money to buy gold and silver--for themselves. The little-guy investor gets his currency back. The bankers get the real gold and silver.
IOW = SLV and GLD are vacuum cleaners!
