  • Why David Tepper Sees 50% Upside In Citigroup [View article]
    No, it wasn't for views. That's 15% down from current levels; did you foresee gold at $1,560 when it was trading at $1,800?

    You can disagree with me, but the attitude and unprofessionalism given off by the gold bull crown is astonishing.

    Furthermore, please don't comment on articles unless the content is relevant.

  • Gold Takes Out Major Support: Next Stop $1,350 [View article]
    I just don't understand the hostility - it's quite strange.

    My reply, obviously, was in regard to the commenter who asked why short something I can't value; my somewhat snarky answer was to make money.

    75% of the comments on this thread have been unprofessional, inarticulate, and filled with hatred and logical fallacies.

    Folks: it's gold. Calm down.

    Credit cycles exist. We are indeed a credit based economy. Yet beneath the extension of credit is something that "policy bears" don't want to see or admit: genuine, productive, economic growth.

    a) As I've stated, gold's value has almost nothing to do with its industrial demand.

    b) That's simply a blatant straw-man; physical gold doesn't pay dividends. Don't get cute with it.

    c) Indeed, something like art is similar to gold. As for real estate, the comparison is a bit faulty as real estate can be widely used for collateral and is play on new household creation, which is essentially a certainly (on average) over the next couple of decades in this nation.

    d) I agree. Treasuries aren't a good hedge against inflation. Never said they were.

    Unfortunately, your comment was fraught with fallacies; it doesn't really attack points I actually made.

    Why would I have been short for the last ten years? The story has changed, and now I'm short, making money.

    Perfect example of a misguided investment thesis. The supply of gold is about 100 times the annual usage. Jewelry demand has nothing to do with the price of gold.

    You've said that on a few of my articles, one of which was written at $1,710/oz. Just sayin.'

    The massive dividend potential from the major money center banks is definitely something to look forward to.

    You short it to make money.

    Yikes. So I think one of the biggest tells is the rudeness and general lack of articulate arguments from the bull camp. For sure, some major investors have made reasonable, modest arguments, but comments like this are the norm.

    Price action around levels of long term support reflect further downside based on the additional dynamics I've discussed. Thanks.

    Inflation was absolutely not zero when the dollar was backed by gold. You're begging the question - you're using the premise that gold is money to say that since gold prices didn't go up, there was no inflation.
