Moriarty of 321Gold nine (9) days after HIGHLY recommending PTQ/PTC and PTQ/PTC Management and AFTER being supplied with numerous web sources apprising Moriarty of President and CEO Fifer's criminal background:
(Please be advised that Mr. Moriarty has a very foul mouth!)

"Go away. . .

Go away and crawl back under your rock. I don’t care if your mommy bought you a keyboard for Christmas, you didn’t know shit when Kitco was posting and your don’t know shit now. Start your own website but be sure to teach your dog to read first. That way you know at least one pair of eyes will read it and care. No one else will.

You are blowing smoke so fuck off.

For just one example of many, he highly recommended Petaquilla Minerals PTQ (and Petaquilla Copper PTC) on Sept 11th 2008 at C$3.03 at his 321Gold site (see archives). Shortly thereafter he was warned in numerous emails by several shareholders (Stockhouse.com PTQ Message Board) that President/CEO Richard Fifer of PTQ/PTC was a criminal in hiding wanted on a bench warrant for embezzling hundreds of thousands from Spain as the former Governor of Cocle (he was forced to resign), funding prostitution houses in Penonome, etc., mining without permits, accusations of insider trading/ exposed for share dilution granting and exercising tens of thousands of options on a regular basis for years, etc.! And yet Mr. Moriarty did nothing to warn his readership about management's unethical, criminal activities right after giving PTQ/PTC Fifer management such a glowing recommendation! (see Moriarty's article!)

Mr. Moriarty then claimed in an email to never have received ANY FORM OF PAYMENT OF ANY KIND for his endorsement of Petaquilla Minerals and Petaquilla Copper! Yet immediately after the glowing recommendation to buy, Mr. Moriarty put up a banner advertisement for Petaquilla! He lied! And Moriarty continues to pump stocks like this one! Petaquilla management was soon embroiled in a law suit with Inmet for breach of contract, then the High Court of Panama ruled that Petaquilla was in violation of the law mining without a permit, President Fifer was also brought up on charges of insider trading on Canadian exchanges. President/CEO Fifer still has the embezzlement charges pending and a court date is yet to be set. Petaquilla Minerals PLUNGED FROM C$3.03 ALL THE WAY DOWN TO C$0.34, AN ASTOUNDING 89% LOSS. MR. MORIARTY WHEN CONTACTED BY EMAIL REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIS BLUNDER. Not once in over a year has Mr. Moriarty warned his readership of the corruption in management that he has known about all that time.

This is just one example of many! When Mr. Moriarty has been contacted by email for comments, he has responded with foul, disgusting language and flat out lies. Therefore, PLEASE BE WARNED: MR. MORIARTY IS A STOCK PUMPER! ANYONE WISHING TO CONTACT ME FOR A COPY OF HIS EMAILS, PLEASE INQUIRE AT sparker1957@gmail.com. We are organizing a class-action law suit against 321Gold and Mr. Robert J. Moriarty for receiving payment (directly or indirectly) in exchange for recommending companies with criminal management (such as Petaquilla Minerals) that he was fully aware of. Not only was Mr. Moriarty fully aware that Petaquilla Minerals was run by a criminal management team, but in his reply email that I'm in possession of forwarded from a Stockhouse member, Mr. Moriarty boasted that criminal management is the best to be running a company! Yes, I know, unbelievable, but I can forward you this legitimate email with permission from our attornies that are in charge of the pending class-action suit.

If you have purchased any stocks on the recommendation of Robert J. Moriarty of 321Gold and have lost money, and/or recieved any helpful emails, please contact me, Scott Parker: sparker1957@gmail.com to help us take this unscrupulous, incompetent stock pumper out of business and out of circulation. Thank you very much!

$880 gold and XAU at 103 .. ok, so is this not the most extreme disconnect ever?]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94392-metals-manipulation-or-simply-deleveraging?source=feed#comment-261803 261803 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 15:46:42 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/94392-metals-manipulation-or-simply-deleveraging?source=feed#comment-252224 252224 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 23:08:28 -0400
Sept 11 - Gold hit $730 this morning - down some $70 from Sept 9 - Any comments on that?]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94392-metals-manipulation-or-simply-deleveraging?source=feed#comment-250086 250086 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 07:20:03 -0400 Dave]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94392-metals-manipulation-or-simply-deleveraging?source=feed#comment-249926 249926 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:50:03 -0400
Of course, having a sense that something bad is about to happen is nothing more than an emotional reason to purchase an investment, an approach I disagree with. Although the author repeats the stock market advice to buy on fear and sell on greed, in the case of gold perhaps it is better to sell on fear and buy on greed (in the total market) because the asset classes are negatively correlated.

Oh, and we can all do without the fluff about how the author was right on three separate occasions. Guru worship is perhaps the only worse investment strategy than trading on emotion. He could just as easily be wrong THIS time. If he didn't liquidate all his PM's at the peak, he was at least wrong there.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94392-metals-manipulation-or-simply-deleveraging?source=feed#comment-249544 249544 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 13:20:55 -0400
Take POSSESSION of PHYSICAL GOLD/SILVER! In your particular case, it may be "painful" at the outset, but in the final analysis, you will be LIGHT YEARS ahead. More importantly, you will be assured that what you paid for IS WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HAND, er SAFE, not
some piece of paper that you wouldn't want to use to wipe yourself! (Sorry for the graphic display).]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94392-metals-manipulation-or-simply-deleveraging?source=feed#comment-249526 249526 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 13:08:19 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/94392-metals-manipulation-or-simply-deleveraging?source=feed#comment-249393 249393 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 11:39:48 -0400
We are comforted by the second chart in the above article which points out to business cycle believers that the gold price bottom is neigh as of October 2008.

Since the start of the 1900's, USA politicians and their agencies have always favored printing more fiat US $'s for any and all reasons.

My fox hole buddy is cheered up by the thought that, as happened in the summer of 2008, government agents will soon be by with packets of 1000 bills for each of us.

Of course, we are stuck out here without food or transport and can't get to a store to buy anything much less gold bars.

Good luck.

Truly enjoyable read. I happen to believe that what has happened in metals lately, is a combination of both manipulation and de-leveraging. But like green socks (really?) and no tigers, it doesn't matter.

What concerns me most is that a lot of us are having great difficulty buying at these bargain prices. I've got to say, I now consider buying the precious metals ETF's a mistake. The haircut that I'd have to take
to unwind these positions and buy actual bullion would be painful to say the least. I share your spider-sense that something big is about to happen.

So what's the move? Buy, ETF's, options, futures, physical or all of the above?]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94392-metals-manipulation-or-simply-deleveraging?source=feed#comment-248900 248900 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 22:05:42 -0400
All year long has been this degree of randomness of "bad things happening."

The XAU/Gold ratio I did not realize was at such an extreme. Will be very interesting to see how it all plays out.

The fact is.....it is VERY difficult to find silver. Difficult to find gold. And I have it on good authority that the large dealers are getting American and Canadian gold and silver.....from Europe. In other words, the vacuums are sucking up all the available gold and silver bars in the world from wherever they can get it.

Paul and Dork will find themselves on the wrong end of the trade eventually, the questions is how far will they go before they are stopped out. And who cares. ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94392-metals-manipulation-or-simply-deleveraging?source=feed#comment-248779 248779 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 17:51:32 -0400 ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94392-metals-manipulation-or-simply-deleveraging?source=feed#comment-248670 248670 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:17:43 -0400 www.marketwatch.com/ne...

Actually, you're wasting your own time because I'm sure by now people just skip your posts. You can't spell and you don't make any sense or valid arguments on the intended subject. Nobody gives a sh*t what you made today....]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94392-metals-manipulation-or-simply-deleveraging?source=feed#comment-248479 248479 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 12:44:44 -0400
Seriously, who would object if the government forced the price of bread lower? ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94392-metals-manipulation-or-simply-deleveraging?source=feed#comment-248305 248305 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 10:53:39 -0400 Of course the SEC would not think of applying it to other sectors such as commodities and precious metals. Might hurt their friends.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94392-metals-manipulation-or-simply-deleveraging?source=feed#comment-248252 248252 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 10:17:25 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/94392-metals-manipulation-or-simply-deleveraging?source=feed#comment-248226 248226 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 10:04:03 -0400
