Where Are Precious Metals Heading? [view article]
Yet again I see an article about gold which doesn't mention main consumer: India. I wonder, why? And why this article is worth anything? ReplyWhere Are Precious Metals Heading? [view article]
Did I miss an economic recovery? A rise in rates? Lower inflation? World peace--thank God. ReplyWhere Are Precious Metals Heading? [view article]
The best way to think about gold as an asset is to call it cash and measure everything else you buy, sell, or trade in gold (use a moving average to smooth it out). That's what every human with any money whatsoever did for the better part of 3000 years, and it greatly clarifies pricing trends in everything from currencies to computers.For example, it is possible for prices measured in paper to rise rapidly while they are falling when priced in gold. That's exactly what stagflation is - deflation in real terms owing to weak demand combined with the printing of more money to chase the fewer goods the weak economy produces. For those of you keeping score at home, gold has "risen" in dollar terms at a 3-year annualized rate of around 27%. Shadowstats' "old CPI" US dollar price index rose at an annualized rate near 11% in the same period. What this means is exactly what I just described: the purchasing power of an ounce of gold has risen while the purchasing power of a US dollar has fallen. Expect this to continue for some time. The relative performance of gold's purchasing power and some other asset's provides a good way (a better way, to my thinking, than paper-denominated charts) to evaluate investments or trades - including speculation in paper money.

The numbers given in this article are baseless. No references, no links, no backup."Demand was way down" REALLY? How about "Demand was strong".
And all the Eurobanks selling HUNDREDS of TONNES of gold every year, supposedly. And they do this for decades already. REALLY?
That means HUNDREDS of CUBIC FEET of gold flowing out the Eurobanks? YEah, right.... Reply

Eurosystem banks are selling 500 tonnes of gold per year. India has cut purchases by 55%. Yet the price is over 900 bucks an ounce still today. Gold is up 43 dollars in the last 30 days despite the sell off and it's up 254 dollars year over year. Perhaps the smart money is hedging their inflation risk. There seems to be quite a bit of inflation coming down the 'pike now. Investment demand for gold dwarfs the jewelry demand. ReplyWhere Are Precious Metals Heading? [view article]
gold, zzzz........ ReplyWhere Are Precious Metals Heading? [view article]
Gross Profits: Maybe just as good as your "useless" comment.The gold bugs see the commodity go over $1,500 in one year and anyone who dares a contrarian position is the subject of their wrath. Jim Sinclair (JSMineset.com) will even bet $1 million dollars with you, just in case you haven't heard their bullish predictions loud enough.
I own gold stocks myself as a hedge, but I can understand the article's argument that 2/3 of gold commodity demand is down 55% and that "may" put downward pressure on the price (sorry gold freaks, just a different view. Wrong, perhaps, but just a view).
Good article. Reply

Useless article ReplySean Rakhimov: 3-Digit Silver Ahead [view article]
This article gave me the desire to purchase more. Of course being very fond of silver (and gold) but love the silver. I must see if I have any more of those old paper federal reserve notes laying around depreciating to nothing. Some good buys in this bunch. ReplyManaging Duration for Commodity Funds: Which Strategy Is Best? [view article]
Very short of any information of real use.If someone invests in ETF's without knowing about the funds management style, then they have not done due diligence and deserve the consequences. Reply
Metalline Mining's Silver Lining [view article]
Stay clear of base metals. Slowing economy will erode demand. Better to be in gold and silver, metals that are seen as alternatives to fiat dollars. ReplySean Rakhimov: 3-Digit Silver Ahead [view article]
Folks, Butler and the silver crowd have been saying that we are running out of silver for years and that soon it will be in the triple digits!Read what one note Butler wrote back in 1997
tinyurl.com/5r9pq6
Consider all the $US inflation over the last 10 years, a falling share market in real terms, housing and mortgage bust, discredited central bankers (Helicopter Ben and Easy Al) and silver is still below $20. Nice run up in silver, but nothing like the "to the moon" move the newsletter crowd have been crowing about since the 90's. Oh, but any day now, you'll see it take off like a rocket! HA HA! Somethings never change. Butler is a hack. Beware. Reply
Sean Rakhimov: 3-Digit Silver Ahead [view article]
Ted Butler explains that they actually are only delaying the inevitable. Why are they doing that? Who would short silver? The banks are obviously dumb right? OOO, no, their not, so why would the big investment banks hold 79% of the short? Because as the random and sparatic silver bugs march in they pick them off one by one. They make more money this way that by not timing their dumps, so it makes sense. Its like attacking 1 guy with 10 guys at once, vs. one at a time, like in Kung Fu movies.We know they do it, we know they can at times make a lot of money doing it, but couldnt they make more going long? Probably, maybe, but thats irrelevant. The banks all work together, and since silver is real money and is an enabler of wealth among the masses, it must be kept as low as they can keep it. As silver and gold go up, fiat currency looks weaker and weaker. Its not really that complicated if you know what banks are, and why they hide their pratices. Like do most people on here know that your deposits are considered a liability on their balance sheets. As you withdraw money, they have to drop assets. Do you know what it means when something is on a balance sheet? It means they own it, sillies. They ALLOW you to withdraw your money, but as soon as its deposited, its actually considered their money, not yours. Now you know why the banks dont like gold and silver. Reply
