Where next for metal prices?
• China slowdown has stabilized – 5-7% growth?
• Wisdom of Eurozoneausterity being reconsidered?
• US debt ceiling blackmail last obstacle to a revival of US economy?
• Is resumption of global growth & stabilization of debt a death knell for gold & silver?
How long before the market accepts that sideways is the worst we need to fear for precious & base metals in the next few years?
?

Gold’s supposed inverse relationship with the US$ and a strong economy is obsolete. So is the fixation on fiat currency collapse. Long term demand for copper and gold are now twinned. A global depression is bad for both, and global growth is good for both. The recent divergence is a temporary aberration.

Two Important Reports that beg for a shift in the gold bug narrative!
• Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds

Despite a slowing growth rate China is projected to capture ever larger share of global GDP, though this trend now hinges on the near term future of the world’s biggest economy, the USA.
![Page 6: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
By 2030 the National Intelligence Council (Dec 2012) predicts a new reality where China’s GDP is bigger than the USA, and its status as the sole military super-power is no longer unchallenged. What will the world look like when America is no longer THE hegemon?
![Page 7: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
America used the gold standard to displace the UK as the global hegemonduring the 20th century, with the dollar emerging as the sole reserve currency. Dropping the Gold Exchange Standard in 1972 turned gold into the private sector’s alternative asset class while the official sector liquidated. The 2008 Crash was a turning point for central banks, especially those of emerging economies. The OMFIF predicts central bank accumulation of gold will accelerate as nations hedge against the interregnum.
![Page 8: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
China aspires to the role of reserve currency. This will take time.
![Page 9: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
China has become the biggest gold producer as Australia & Russia grow, USA is steady, and South Africa fades.
![Page 10: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
In Q2 2009 China reported a 76% increase in official gold holdings to 34 million oz. Since then it has not updated, but China has produced 45 million oz, all likely bought by the central bank. An update today would put China at 79 million oz. During 2012 China produced nearly 12 million oz. If China can maintain this rate, it will take 15 years for China’s official holdings to match the current 261 million oz US official gold holdings, assuming the latter still exist. This does not includethe net 17 million oz imported by China in 2012.

Gold viewed by itself
looks like a bubble on
the verge of collapse.
![Page 12: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Should we not worry about the glut of new gold supply?
![Page 13: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

![Page 16: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Let’s look at all the gold that exists
above ground in the context of the
wealth of the world as defined by
economic turnover, namely GDP.
![Page 18: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Visualize the value of the above
ground gold stock at the annual
average price as a percentage of
global GDP in nominal US dollars at
annual prevailing exchange rates.
![Page 19: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What if we assume that long term
“balance of power” anxiety will underpin
demand for gold so that the value of the
gold stock becomes stable as 10% of US
dollar based global GDP? And perhaps
the silver stock as 3% of GDP?
![Page 20: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Transforming 10% systemic anxiety
into a gold price in the context of
projected new mine supply and GDP
growth suggests a trading range of
$1,300-$1,700 assuming a 10% price
volatility during the next 4 years.
![Page 21: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Expand the systemic anxiety to the 1980 peak extreme of 26% and
the 4% low in 2001, and we see the real price limits for gold as a
measure of intense geopolitical stress and optimal confidence in
the United States as a benevolent and permanent hegemon. If the
NIC and OMFIF are wrong about the future, and hyper-inflation
does not materialize, gold is headed substantially lower. But if they
are right, gold’s more important role is as a hedge against long
term geopolitical uncertainty in a globalized economy.
![Page 22: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The same can be said about silver, the poor
man’s gold whose 1980 anxiety peak was 6% of
GDP, and calmness nadir in 2003 was 0.5%.
![Page 23: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
China’s problem is that it remains
dependent on America’s viability for another
decade. America’s problem is that its
viability ensures its long term relative
decline. Turning America into a wealth
based aristocracy whereby an obsessive
focus on deficit reduction engineers a
global depression that marginalizes the
middle class but preserves American
hegemony by sinking China is a possible
strategy. Retirees, however, vote.
![Page 24: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
ROW military spending is all fluff. When will Ron Paul’s critique of military spending quicken with voters and bring back a push for isolationism?
![Page 26: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Note flat US oil consumption since 1980
while China grows. To whom is the flow
of global oil guaranteed by the US
defence budget adding the most value?
![Page 27: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
EIA predicts oil self-sufficiency by 2020 thanks to shale oil, provided the price of oil remains high.
![Page 28: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
High oil prices will allow US to grow its shale oil production while higher fuel efficiency standards and a shift to hybrid-electric cars keep consumption flat, opening the possibility of US oil self-sufficiency. A glut of shale gas will also fire cheap electricity.
![Page 29: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
China has shale gas potential, but it is not clear how well it can be tapped, nor
how long it will take for China to underpin its manufacturing base with cheap
gas fired electricity rather than dirty coal or expensive nuclear energy.
![Page 30: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
If China does not switch to hybrids and electric cars as the primary
transportation, it will suffer a rising oil import deficit even as
America’s multi-decade oil deficit declines and maybe turns into an
export surplus. If America abandons the Middle East, China is the
big loser. If your voters want more Medicare and less Warfare...
![Page 31: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Why the American military pivot to Asia? China’s offshore oil ambitions can be solved by
Japanese style imperialism. China’s mishandling of North Korea provides the perfect cover
for indirect containment of China whose shipping channels are its lifeblood.

Is this perhaps America’s
best long term strategy?

Is there a long range strategic dimension to
America’s manufacturing renaissance?
![Page 34: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What is America waiting for?
![Page 35: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Higher interest rates?
![Page 36: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
A turnaround in the monster
reverse wealth effect of 2008?
![Page 37: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Looks like real estate is turning around.
![Page 38: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
But certainly no sign yet of a credit expansion,
the key to meaningful economic growth.
![Page 39: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
After 5 years of Deleveraging is a Credit Expansion Imminent?
All we need is a sign that we are not going to sink ourselves to drown China.
![Page 40: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Either way, America as a more balanced
global partner, or America as the new hermit
kingdom, who supplies all this stuff?
![Page 41: 2013 California Resource Investment Conference...2013 California Resource Investment Conference Indian Wells, USA February 23, 2013 Presented by John Kaiser Keynote: Back to America](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042113/5e8f5c30e520035c654ea0ad/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Certainly not America, not that it has mattered
much, because raw materials are not needed
domestically to import finished goods Made in
China. But as self-sufficiency becomes the new
watchword, Back to America will be the story.
