  • Dollar and Precious Metals: Apocalypse Not Yet? [View article]
    Gold, Silver and commodities going down. My only doubt is will it be before or after the dollar passes below 76. Waiting for confirmation. I do not know how low the govt will let the dollar go. Gold up to 1200 and then down to 680. That's my forecast.

  • Who Else Has Been Buying Gold? [View article]
    Gold is about to hit a top. China's buying gold from their own companies. Look up China Gold. Therefore do not think china is buying from the outside. The people, yes but it's limited. Gold is in the process of a major correction.

  • Canary in the Gold Mine [View article]
    Most countries are buying the gold mines within their borders and buying their own gold while leaving the company on the market. You can buy their shares, you just can't change the management, it's fixed. However it still provides good investment strategy since these companies will survive due to Govt. financing. Private companies are going to be forced to pay higher premiums in the long run.
    Example of this is China Gold.

  • Gold: Four Reasons to Expect September Gains [View article]
    Only way for gold to rally is for Stocks going higher, in which case my stocks will rise. However if stocks go down the dollar will go up which will cause a dip in the price of gold. My opinion, we just got thru wave 2 of 3 and wave 3, the monster coming up. I see stocks going thru the roof causing gold to go up. After all, if AIG, Fannie and freddie can make 300+% gains...well just tells you the fed is burning the shorts.
    jejeje :)

  • Sobering Stat: ARMS Index Indicates Market Is at Peak, Not Bottom [View article]
    Look, this is a trader's market. FORGET LOGIC!!! When you see a stock starting up, follow it 60% then sell, sell, sell. I bought in March. I now sold enough stock, which was only 20% of my holdings, to recoup my investment. When my other stocks go down 15% i will sell them all and wait for a bottom...and buy again....and again....and again! My total gain on this trade will be around 340%. Tha'ts the way you play this market. I suggest you learn the rules.

  • Oil Rallies, But We Prefer Gold [View article]
    I believe he explained better why he did not like oil. I am of the same opinion, but for my own reasons.

  • Markets Aren't as Benign as They Look [View article]
    What is really funny is everyone is looking at the US economy and obviating the rest of the world. In 2010 the UAE will establish it's Central Bank and issue it's currency. What will it be based on? Will oil still be bought in dollars or will we have to exchange dollars for their currency? Iran and Russia are already selling oil to China in Rubles and Euros. China is entering into currency swap agreements with Brazil, Argentina, Belize, Iran, Russia and various African nations. Will American companies in these countries be forced to accept the agreements? If not will they have to sell their assets to that country for their currency? Remember their is over 4.5 trillion american debt dollars out there. There does not have to be an official change of world currency, all they have to do is accept the US dollar as world currency and ignore it. So what, they have their own arrangements. It's a brave new world and the US is no longer the center of the universe.

  • Dollar to Lose Reserve Status - But Is There an Alternative Currency? [View article]
    Oh really? And then how do you think you will have growth when China, India and UAE are 50% of the world population(read consumers) while the US is only 5% of the population? If you want growth you NEED to get involved in other countries. Besides with all the IPO's in dollars don't you think other countries have a stranglehold over US? Oop's, 80% of the companies you invested in in China went bellyup!!!! jejeje. So where's the money?

  • Dollar to Lose Reserve Status - But Is There an Alternative Currency? [View article]
    13 trillion debt dollars/(300 million person) =
    43,333 debt dollars/person
    8236 tons of US Reserve gold = 262 million ounces gold
    26200 =.87 ounces/person


    43,333 debt dollars/person/(.87 ounces/person) ~ 50,000 debt dollars/ounce of gold jejeje


    WOW i'm rich :)

    Dang, i said that last 2 years. Rates will be based on debt versus GDP. The bigger the number the less the value of the money. After all, China needs more from Brazil/Mexico than either of these need from China. US will become a major MAJOR arms exporter. That's what we do best, WMD!
