Вече се коментира активно евентуална конфискация на златото. Призракът от '33.
Физическото злато, може да се скрие, но... във времето на интернет, едва ли ще бъде успешно.
Посочва се ориентир, за времето на евентуална конфискация - намаляване или спиране на производството на злато, 2-3 месеца преди да се случи.
При всички случаи, такива коментари, няма как да не рефлектират за цената, в един момент.

Again these rumors about gold confiscation, you guys are heavily marked by the so called confiscation of 1933
but the historical facts of 1933 are other as you think:
Gold confiscation of 1933 is more a myth than a reality.
The White House has stated the 5 April 1933 that
".. over $600.000.000 in the form of gold and gold certificates" had been returned to the FED banks.
What does this mean ?
In 1933 there were gold certificates (legal banknotes with a promise of redeemption in gold coin with the text "IN GOLD COIN PAYABLE TO THE BEARER ON DEMAND') in circulation for the total amount of: $3.385.640.000 !!!
in $10, $20 and $50-Notes for $1.963.640.000
in $100-Notes for $324.000.000
in $500, $1.000, $5.000 and $10.000-notes for : $1.098.000.000 !!!!
The notes greater > $100 were automatically out of circulation by the confiscation act because 5 Oz of gold (to keep legally by any person) was only about $103,35 ($20 gold coin has .9707 Oz fine gold).
But there had been for $1.1 bn of these high value notes in circulation !!
BUT ONLY $0.6 bn IN ANY FORM (Gold Certificates, BULLION) WAS RETURNED !!!
The bulk of the returned $0.6 bn in gold had been high value gold certificates and NOT GOLD COINS OR BULLION!!
Because nobody would be able to use these notes after 1. of May 1933 these gold certificate notes were legally changed before the 1. of May into National Currency (FED notes).
People changed a bank note against another - loosing only the theoretical right of redeemption in gold !!
Another myth is that the (supposed) content of Fort Knox (some 8100 metric tons of gold - around 260.000.000 Oz) is coming from the confiscation of private gold holdings in 1933.
In reality only about 500 metric tons (16.000.000 Oz) where "confiscated" from the public in 1933 see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102We must see this in relation to the amount of gold in circulation. In the US up to 1930 gold coins for an amount of $4.800.000.000 have been minted (230.000.000 Oz) only 6% of them entered Fort Knox by being exchanged against FED-Notes in order to the Confiscation Act of 1933!
Where does the Fort Knox gold really come from ?
1. 1933 most of the gold certificates (legal bank notes) where exchanged into Fed-Notes - 1934 private possession of gold certificates was forbidden and those in possession of the banks where changed into not redeemable gold certifcate notes (issue of 1934).
The old gold certificate notes were backed at 100% by the local FED's with gold which was stored in their vaults.
This gold now obsolete for backing gold certificates went to Fort Knox.
We don't know how much gold certificates were in circulation but it must have been at least the sum of the so-called "small-size" notes of 1928.
The former "large-size" notes (issues 1882-1922) were also in circulation but in parts replaced by the 1928 issue.
The 1928 issue was about $3.385.640.000 alone - this means for backing this amount at least some 168.000.000 Oz of gold had been stored in the local FEDs.
After the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 all gold of the FED's was transferred to the Department of Treasury.
2. After the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 all gold mine companies had to sell their mined gold to the gouvernment - that the second big source of the Fort Knox gold.
As we see the 1933 confiscation was in reality a "confiscation" of the right of redeemption of bank notes and only in a very little part a "confiscation" (by exchange into Fed-Notes) of real physical bullion!
More than 90% of the physical Bullion was not "confiscated"!
There was only 1 prosecution under the Confiscation Act and this one was declared technically invalid by the judge.
Safe deposit boxes held by individuals were not forcibly searched or seized under the order, and the few prosecutions that occurred in the 1930s for gold hoarding were executed under different statutes. see

1933 Gold Confiscation
Hi,
Peter, I never said that there had been no gold confiscation in 1933 and I never said that there won't be any in the future.
What I say is that the way todays people talk about it is not the historical truth.
Mythical horror stories about 1933 is the problem I try fight.
Again the thruth is:
- about 168.000.000 Oz PAPER GOLD was confiscated in 1933 and redeemed in fiat (FED notes)
- only some 16.000.000 Oz of real physical gold bullion was changed against fiat and the owners of this bullion had been in great majority institutional - there was very little privatly owned gold bullion given away.
- nobody was fined or jailed in this story
- deposit boxes have not been blocked for the owner
- FBI never investigated in homes and deposit boxes in order to find some double eagles
- more than 214.000.000 Oz of physical gold (minted coins and ingots) has been hidden by your grandfathers until 1971
- nearly everybody having more then 5 Oz of physical bullion did not respect the law
What this story is telling us in case of a new confiscation:
- not to have "paper gold" in the borders
- gouvernement will probably not investigate in your home
- gouvernement will not jail millions of people in order to have a revolution
- do what your grandfathers did
Cheers
