Subject:Delaying Tactics and Interview
By: Theodore Butler and James Cook

Overview: Here’s a quick follow-up to last week’s comment about the CFTC sending out form letters to me and many of you asking for specific evidence about a manipulation in silver prices. A number of you asked me how to respond. Before you respond, it is important to understand what the Commission is trying to accomplish with their notifications. They are not looking for specific evidence. They are looking to buy time. They are stalling.

Delaying Tactics and Interview

Great interview as the gloves were off and the hard questions were asked and answered. I look forward to the day when 'rush hour' comes for silver and the price goes supernova, as not only will the investor be rewarded but Ted and co will be vindicated.

Mr. Butler, please do research on retail side of supply in countries like India where the sale of silver coins and articles is well established . There are thousands of stores accross the country. One billion people, fond lovers of Gold and Silver are regular vistors and give good patronage to them on daily basis, helping them to survive over the years and forge ahead. Why there is no shortage of silver retail coins here despite the fact that we dont produce much silver and have 91% import dependence to meet our requirements.

As a facilitating importer I can provide you with evidence that I have never faced any supply shortage during last three four months. Also any customer requirement here of coins of any shape or size or weight, the same are avilable off the self and if the quantity required is in thousands, faciities here can mint/produce any quantity within 3/4 days. You must be having good contacts in India and I encourage you to have a reality check done to help your readers with objectivity.

The scenerio in India doesnt support your shortage theory based on retail demand scenerio. I am not disputing your larger perspective about manipulation as I dont have any opinion on that. What I need to say that shortage of coins in many retail stores in western part of your world can not be a valid ground for evidence. It is a sheer logistic problem. The answer to immediate shortage lies in historic lack of wider patronage at local shops. Western world is waking up to physical buying and things will improve once a shop dealer is certain that he will have wider patronage for his products.

I wonder if the price of silver is being held back also by the likely preference for gold in the current environment. In my opinion silver will only really take off to the upside when gold becomes appreciably more expensive to the point where silver will be bought as the next best alternative when most people can no longer afford to buy gold. Maybe this is also a possible explanation why the gold silver ratio has balooned to nearly 80. I myself am only buying gold at the moment but will probably look to start buying silver when gold ( hopefully ) goes back above 1,000 USD. Would be interested in anybody elses thoughts on this !

Who do you think he is referring to about stealing his ideas?

This is from the interview on Dec 8th with James Cook

Cook: Don't you think it’s gotten to a point where it's pure plagiarizing?
Butler: It’s beyond that - it’s pure theft.
Cook: I'm paying you to write this breakthrough information on silver. Don't you think we should insist that writers
who use it should mention you as the source?
Butler: Sure. The amazing thing is that by doing the right thing and mentioning the source of an idea makes the writer more credible. Many readers know when something is being plagiarized.

Always interesting to hear from you over seas guys. If you don't mind, what is your $$ above spot for say one 10oz bar (CMX) grade?

The only writer that I know that mentions Ted Butler is Robert Singer and he could never be accused of plagiarizing anything, his ideas are totally unique.

Does anyone else know about this?

I'm glad I gave credit to Ted Butler in my recent article! He comes up with things nobody else finds.
