With the Dow down almost 500 and gold surging above $1,825, today King World News interviewed billionaire Eric Sprott, Chairman of the $10 billion strong Sprott Asset Management to get his take on the action and what he is doing with his own money. When asked about his charitable foundation selling gold and buying more physical silver Sprott stated, “We’ve put a notice in that we are going to sell two million shares of the Sprott Physical Trust, which would generate something like $32 million of proceeds, and it’s my intention to move that into (physical) silver. As you know I have opined very often that I think silver should trade at a 16/1 ratio to gold. That would imply a price today of something like $110 or $120, (and today) it’s $40.
...The availability in dollar terms of gold is 100 times that of silver, so you can’t keep buying at a one to one ratio without something giving here. As long as people keep buying it you know the price has to go up, there is very limited supply. I think Comex has something like 27 million ounces (available for purchase), which is all of one billion dollars. What is one billion dollars these days? I mean there’s probably 500 different organizations that could clean them out.”
