Bob Chapman : I do not recommend Gold & Silver ETFs

Bob Chapman : While I do recommend a few gold stocks, I do not buy stocks. I have no accounts. My family has no accounts. Period. I buy bullion and coins and I do it frequently. I'm a big believer in both. I do not recommend exchange-traded funds (ETFs) because I do not believe they have gold and silver in the amounts close to 100% of what they're supposed to be holding. Neither do any of the hedge fund managers because most of them are not getting involved in that area. I think it's going to end up being a scandal.- in theaureport.com

The US Government , the FED & other Central Banks are suppressing the Price of Gold & Silver

Bob Chapman : It has been the official policy of the United States government and the Federal Reserve and other Central Banks to suppress the price of gold and silver.
They do it through the President's Working Group on Financial Markets, which was instituted in August of 1988. They are using that to interfere in the market. Look at the markets from day to day. I used to be a tape reader and I was a trader for 25 years. You get rhythms from markets. You can see the Fed in there along with the Treasury department making the market do things that they want it to do.

Bob Chapman : Another Quantitative Easing is on the Way

Bob Chapman : Well, we had an $868 billion stimulus package. The Federal Reserve then created enough money and credit to bring that package assistance up to somewhere between $2.3 and $2.5 trillion. For that, we had approximately 16 months of attempted recovery. During that period of time, five quarters averaged growth between 3% and 3.25%. I feel that was a very, very high price to pay for a relatively sideways movement in the economy. Now we're back to square one. The recovery is not continuing. The Federal Reserve is talking about more quantitative easing. They're talking about buying back the toxic securities they bought from banks at a price they won't disclose. That move essentially cleared up the banks' books but at the same time encumbered the Fed's books, which they're now going to unburden by selling the bonds back to the same people they bought them from. Now, we don't know what the loss factor is because they won't tell us, so we have to ballpark it. Out of this money that's coming and going they have to come up with a figure somewhere in the vicinity of $1.2 trillion. That's what they're going to use for this quantitative easing. - in the theaureport

Bob Chapman : I am doing 30 hours of programming a week.

Bob Chapman : Well, that's a good question. But it's wrong. The reason it's wrong is that I'm doing 30 hours of programming a week. I'm doing it on AM, FM, satellite and shortwave radio and on the Internet. I'm reaching all kinds of audiences all over the world. That is not a core constituency. That is the global population. We have subscribers everywhere, including some important people, whom I'll not mention. One of the reasons that we keep the cost of the publication at the low level we do is because we want people to be able to access alternative information. People will only go so far in trying to discover what's going on. There are steps that you can take by putting the mosaic together. In over 20 years, our record in all aspects in the publication has been superlative. Two months ago I said in The International Forecaster as well as on radio that I believed the Fed was going to go to the second stage of quantitative easing. I explained the reasons why, and lo and behold it happened. How did I come to that conclusion? The first thing was that the stock market started to rally. Then I saw information generally available saying that the economy was looking better when in fact it wasn't. There had to be another reason for major Wall Street firms going long on the market in a very big way.- in theaureport

Where does Bob Chapman get his figures from?

Bob Chapman : Well, that's very complex. I go to a number of places. But I think the easy way to answer that is to go to John Williams' site and the numbers are all there. He does the same thing that I do. I don't have a monopoly on questioning things. I think you would find that people who are involved in economic analysis often vehemently argue with each other over different interpretations of data. It's certainly being reflected in part with the ascendency of gold and silver prices.- in theaureport

Bob Chapman My Carrier as a Counterintelligence Agent

Bob Chapman :  Number one: I spent three years in counterintelligence for the United States government and worked with the National Security Agency as well as an adjunct agency to the Central Intelligence Agency in army counterintelligence against the Russians in Europe. The first thing I learned was that the Japanese diplomatic code had been broken in 1937. That was declassified in 1968. I found out that the United States government knew everything that the Japanese were doing. I wasn't very happy with that, so I started to think outside the box. I started to look jaundiced at things that were being done, especially because I was spying on the Russians. After I left government service, I maintained the same kind of attitude toward what government had to say. And it wasn't just the U.S. government. It's all governments. I had a different perspective than I had prior to being engaged in counterintelligence work. As far as the statistics that I think you're referring to, like the CPI (consumer price index) and the unemployment figures, John Williams (www.shadowstats.com) is another economist who does what I do and his figures come out the same as mine. Real unemployment is not 9.8%. If you put all of U6 together (the Bureau of Labor Statistics measures six types of unemployment, U1-U6) and removed the birth/death ratio, you're talking about 21.5% unemployment. So why doesn't the government tell the public all about U6? It's a good question. But the figures are all bogus. - in theaureport

Bob Chapman : We are in a long-term bull market in gold and silver get in with the trend and stay with it as long as possible

Bob Chapman : First of all, I found as a broker that a lot of people don't know how to properly invest or trade. Often brokers would have them trade; however it's not something average people normally do because they're not professionally trained. There are not a lot of people who can effectively trade and make money in the market. Perhaps 5% are successful. But I ran into a lot of people who wanted to trade, and I discouraged them unless they had years of experience. I said you've got to pick a trend. For example, we are now in a long-term bull market in gold and silver. I tell people to get in with a trend and stay with it as long as possible. People were losing money in the market because they weren't doing that. Consequently, I've been helping people set long-term investment goals. - in theaureport

Bob Chapman : How I started The International Forecaster

Bob Chapman : The International Forecaster has been in production for over 20 years. It came about because I retired at 52 and being a "Type A" personality I found I couldn't live life without doing something with my mind. Playing golf and tennis everyday was a bore, so I started The International Forecaster. I had spent 28 years as a broker and owned my own firm for many years. I was probably the largest gold/silver stockbroker in the United States, perhaps even the world. We had 6,000 clients when we sold the company. I really enjoy writing and doing radio. Occasionally I'll do television. It really fits me. I should've been in journalism. But then again, what would've happened is that I wouldn't have had the background to be a good journalist. - in theaureport.com

Bob Chapman : Gold & Silver markets are manipulated

Bob Chapman : Gold and silver markets are manipulated, but so are most other markets as well. Under Executive Order 12631 the government does as it pleases in markets. I have the order right here. It is entitled "Working Group on Financial Markets" and it came into force on March 18, 1988 signed, unfortunately, by Ronald Reagan. It's very short and you could reprint so that your readers understand the full extent of what's going on. This is by no means a dead letter. When you combine this authority with the authority of the Fed to create money, you are basically dealing with a fairly well-controlled system. It's certainly not what it was. - in Daily Bell

Bob Chapman : Who really owns the Fed

Bob Chapman : Exposure of the Fed 154127845 Who really owns the Fed and what they have been doing since 1913. How the banks and brokerage firms make billions via inside information and the complicity of the SEC in scams, such as Madoff. As I've said, along with many others, it all begins with the Fed and a handful of wealthy, unelected bankers meeting in private in a room somewhere deciding on the value of money for you and me. - in Daily Bail

The Free-Market has been overtaken By Elitists and their Monetary Creations

Bob Chapman : Yes, I would say so. Regulation is necessary in my opinion not theoretically but pragmatically – regulation that should protect the working-man and the middle class. They have the most to lose. Most of the 20th century was spent on workers rights and rightly so. Conditions and wages were dreadful. As a result of labor unions we established a large middle class, which formed the backbone of our country. What the future holds for unions I cannot say. It depends on how the depression plays out. The forces at play are extremely powerful and there needs to be some sort of organized mechanism that counteracts what has been created. While we can see that the free-market has been overtaken to a degree by elitists and their monetary creations, the question of how to live in such a world are real and immediate. In the long-term education may work but in the short term various entities, including those that some might call populist, have a role to play. - in DailyBail

Bob Chapman : I have been studying the elitists for 50 years

Bob Chapman : I've been studying the elitists for 50 years, and I've been writing about them since 1967. None of this is new and now because of the Internet much of it is very visible. It begins with central banking and there is nothing to be said that can constitute a defense of central banking. A small group of men get together around a table and set interest rates, basically the price of money. They do so without supervision or the consent of those who use their money product and they do so pretty much in secret. There is no accountability and lately, again thanks to the Internet and YouTube, people can pretty well see how nonsensical the system is. We had a classical gold standard for 200 years that provided a good deal more monetary stability than the current system. There were problems with it, but the problems had little to do with the creation of money itself. Today we have a money problem and it is very obvious where the responsibility lies. Just go on the Internet and read about it. Then ask yourself, where did this concept of a central bank come from? Is that all there is to it? Of course not. There are plenty of forces, families and extraordinarily wealthy individuals standing in the shadows of the central bank. They didn't get a lot of exposure in previous decades, but they are certainly exposed now. - in Daily Bail

Bob Chapman: What got me involved in Gold and Silver

Bob Chapman: What got me involved in gold and silver related assets in the early 1960s were as a result of my work in counterintelligence in the middle to late 1950s. Once I found out who ran things and how I became a hard-money thinker. It just didn't seem right to me that a few individuals held so much power, and did so in secret. The people in the intelligence community are basically a kind of Praetorian Guard. They're supposedly there to fight crime and protect national interests, but when you really look at what they're doing, it has more to do with protecting elite interests. If either the general population or the politicians get out of the line, there's this enormous intelligence community with the resources to make sure that they step back in. - in Daily Bell
