I feel this move by Germany is the start of central banks mistrusting each other. It is like the old saying, if you don't hold it you don't own it.....and since the global economy is getting worse banks want their assets in their own hands. The US global reserve currency status is slowly being eroded, you are seeing countries starting to buy less US bonds, starting to trade in their own currency instead of US Dollars - everyone is trying to get out of dollars while trying to make it appear they are not.

If germany thought the US didn't have the gold, they'd demand all of it, including the 1200 tonnes they plan on leaving in the US.

They have demanded all of it, just not publicly.

And just how did you get hold of this "secret" information....

No, through assumption.
There's nary a single fact that points in this direction but the real story isn't interesting enough so you're conjuring one instead.

Observation: The bank stated their timeline for repatriation was 7 years.
Deduction: they need 7 years to plan, prepare and move the gold.
your version:
observation: zerohedge, an alarmist website, claims the us gov't is saying it will take 7 years to give germany their gold
assumption: there is no gold.
yeah, your version, using an overly dramatic story that is ignoring the facts, works better.

So you believe the banks? You are definitely in the minority on this one.

If you believe that the bundesbank needs 7 years to repatriate 300 tons of gold while Chavez had 160 tons repatriated in less than 6 months then you are either a paid shill or very naive.

Oh noes, I am using a fringe lunatic site called 'zerohedge'. There are plenty of other sources available regarding the repatriation of Venezuela's gold if you cannot handle Zerohedge.

For the record I do believe that it will take the Bundesbank 7 years to get their gold but not for the reasons that they have stated. The bank has to give a bogus reason for the delay because they have no choice, they are caught between a rock and a hard place.

Bundesbank says they plan on repatriating the gold held by France and the US (only a tiny amount of their holdings here) by 2020. You take a wild leap by assuming the US doesn't have it.
Question, why is it taking 7 years to get it from France? They don't have it either?

I never said they needed it. They said they were going to repatriate their gold over the next 7 years. They set a time line. I just showed that zerohedge was assuming something without properly reporting the facts. Zerohedge omitted the part where the 7 years was a result of the bank's statement because, honestly, blaming the US for not having the gold is a far better story.

What Venezuela did is of no concern in this discussion because Germany set a timeline of 7 years. If they demanded it and the US said they needed 7 years to produce it, we'd be having a different conversation but, since the Germans said they planned on doing this over 7 years, you can divert the eyes and attention of the readers to other countries and their time frames but the fact still remains.....Germany set a 7 year time line and the US is following it.
I never once referred to zerohedge as a fringe lunatic site. I have great respect for all sites that promote the discussion of alternative news and alternative theories, along with conspiracy theories. My position with The Above Network should really be example enough of my committment to the truth.

They haven't stated a reason. Once again, I suggest you read the news on Bundesbank's site. All they said was they planned on repatriating a portion of their gold from the US, leaving 1200 tonnes here and all of their gold from France by the year 2020.
That's it. Very straight forward. No reasons, no explanations.
Zerohedge took this inoccuous story and injected it with their usual spin to ensure a more compelling read.
You bought into it. It's ok. That's what they wanted you to do.

When more countries clamour for their gold reserves and the price spikes to ridiculous levels, I will come back to this thread and say "I told you so".

The gold bull market started in 2001 precisely when Germany secretly repatriated their gold from the London central bank. I predict that we will see another substantial move in the very near term as the Fed and the central bank in France start acquiring the gold that needs to be moved to Germany.

That's right, check the price of gold with his audience growth. These two charts are identical.
