"Gold was a speculators favorite" Ask any of your neighbors how much they were speculating in gold and silver. None in my case. What bubble in gold and silver? The biggest baddest bubble ever is the sovereign debts and fiat currencies. A new monetary system is in the process of coming a reality as the BRICs prepare for more control in global monetary issues.
Are u saying we did not have a global crisis in 2008-2009? The difference today from 2008-2009 is that now we are moving toward a sovereign debt crisis. It does not have to be hyperinflation here just high inflation. Low double digit inflation is a killer to middle class, retirees and the poor who will see a continual fall in the standard of living. How about a new global monetary regime based on trading with gold backing? Connect the dots it is coming. You are in China, people there do not trust paper currency and do hold a larger % in PMs for that reason.
"Being right, but early, can be costly." I am not sure what you mean, but the investors who were buying PMs under 10 for silver or under 400 for gold have still done well and been early in the game. And those that bought in later are down but do have the chance to avg in at lower prices. Many do understand this fiat based debt system. And now the govt and CBers are the ones increasing debts via money printing. US treasury debts going parabolic. Same with japan and UK. The Fed and treasury have chosen the course and it is inflate the money to the bitter end.
sir your "conclusion" is going to look mighty foolish in a few years as this continues to playout. The lead stooge bernank will be long gone when this game ends. Investors will find better returns elsewhere? Junk bonds record low yields. US treasuries negative interest rates. Stocks floating on "record profit margins". Utility stocks at 20+ times earnings. Russia and China buying up gold like candy to build reserves to have much more say in global monetary issues. Game of free money is coming to end. It happens slowly then suddenly. Good luck stopping QE. QE is purchasing our debts that fewer and fewer want. BOE purchasing like 100% of debt issuance and here it is approaching 70%. It is called insane.
Martin Armstrong Again Warns On Gold [View article]
He said specifically June 2013 will probably be the low and although maybe a retest probably June low will hold. I do think this is opportune time to acquire precious metals (physical) on any strong dips down. However in the end, he does think the end game is coming. and stocks and bonds will take a beating while gold/silver go parabolic in short order. Dollar has already revalued upward against the above basketcase currencies. Also he mentioned that in France that all cash transactions of precious metals must be reported to the govt and they are pressing for this throughout europe. There is going to be a money grab going on starting in europe then moving to US at some point.

Most recent Armstrong interview put out a price target for gold bottom in June of 1150 and calls the bottom in 2013 then a strong rally, but a possible retest before the parabolic move upwards by latter 2015. Hoping for a another pounding of silver to acquire some more physical.
The Sell-Off In Gold Has Become Plain Silly [View article]
If shorting gold is such an easy trade then the caution flag is waving. My best buys have been when I am sweating like a pig bucking massive pessimism/uncertainty or best sells are when I have to overcome greed that I will miss out on more. I am really curious to know who/whom unloaded 400 tonnes of paper gold in a short period of time at a critical technical level on April 12. NLO says why bother with manipulated markets. All markets or at least most markets are manipulated by this micro-knowitall-Fed and corrupt govt This is what we all face as investors. Buying gold for many comes down to a lack or no faith in a broken corrupted monetary system and govt.

jimg, most mining shares are down 30-80%. When the stock market was collapsing oct 08 march 09 very few wanted in and pessimism was off the charts. a few were bucking the herd-trend doing their research and buying at rock bottom prices. Now many are very complacent after the 100%+ returns off the bottom.Investors cannot get enough utilities and junk bond funds---IMO they are pricey as I own a few long term. You buy value not chase momo.
Knocking stocks for a few points is San Francisco Fed President Williams reiterating his hope QE can begin to be tapered this summer and halted by year's end. This is not the first time Williams has said such, but he does reside in the FOMC's dovish camp. He notes even without QE, Fed policy would remain extraordinarily stimulative. [View news story]
More acting (bad guy good guy chatter) and propaganda being spewed by Fed stooges. The Fed stooges are in a battle for their lives to keep this current system intact and knocking gold /silver as unstable and risky while "king" dollar reins. Nice try guys but you r not fooling emerging market PM buyers. You are actually speeding up the digging of this monetary system grave by allowing emerging Central Bankers to snap up gold at 20-30% lower prices and dramatically increase their gold backing. Great job guys in squandering a huge benefit we had for decades.
Gold (GLD -2.1%), (IAU -2.2%) sinks back below $1,400 as the bounce since mid-April is officially over. At work here, suggests RBC Capital, is the strong stock market. To participate, foreign investors sell gold, buy dollars (UUP is up big in May), and call their stockbrokers. Commerzbank notes gold ETF outflows were another 6 tons yesterday, bringing the total since early April to 230 tons. Silver (SLV -3.1%) tags along. [View news story]
No this is the typical response from an Internet bubblehead in 1999-2000 and a number of REhores/home zombies in 2004-2007. We have 100 million of american sheeple out there without a clue that a tsunami in cost of living is going to hit. This is why the masses are usually destined to serfdom anyway buying into the leveraged lifestyle.

brachio you sure have not studied history and how govt is involved with gold. even the most credible Paul Volcker made reference to gold activity by the fed. The fed the govt other western Central bankers and bullion banks will pound down the price to eliminate any interest in it or to dispel the idea it is a safe haven currency vs fiat. Unfortunately BRIC countries buy physical gold and silver and are motivated to acululated in price weakness countering the CBer pyscho manipulation game to shift sentiment. Open yours eyes and see what the BRIC countries are doing. Many BRICs and other emerging economies are making bilateral trade agreements using their own currencies not the dollar. Also China and other BRICs are aggressively accumulating gold b/c they want more influence in global monetary issues. Connect the dots come out of your sheeple zombie sleep. It can happen in the US. We have had a free pass for decades just by printing free money out of thin air without making the tough decisions.

The paper market is massive while physical has controls due to nature. All it will take is a shift in a portion of those abundant fiat currencies into physical to get pms moving again. The paper trading PM markets are broken technically. A good example of govt manipulation. Take for example Argentina:
Official exchange rate of the peso vs the dollar 5.238 peso to dollar Black market rate 10.45 peso to dollar.
We will probably see the price differential in physical gold/silver vs paper depart overtime

Fed, treasury - govt and bullion banks in attack mode on gold and silver. why? they are trying to break the backs of those promoting PM as alternative to the printed dollar. they are trying to stop this trend before the sheeple masses catch on. I know I know they do not mingle with markets. Now lots of investors invest based on technical charts patterns and they know this. technically the PMs are broken for now, but that is prompting those around the world to buy buy buy physical which the crooks back here cannot control. Is it no wonder they are pumping out the deficit will be smaller this year . Anyone think if you added in off balance sheet items we would have so called decrease? The criminals will be operating as normal and run up some more debts. The dollar strength will last until when the BRICs do a pearl harbor on it. What happens to velocity when dollars both physical and E-dollars have no place to go but back here? Just think about all those dollars rushing back into US looking to buy up things in a hurry. There is the missing velocity coming back home. japan uk and euro need to play out then the big bullseye is on our backs. The dollar is losing its reserve status as bilateral trade agreements without the dollar are being made around the globe. A surplus of dollars will mean more coming home.
Are Gold Miners Attractive Yet? Not So Fast [View article]
The problem is most mining executives are dunces and manage the business in a cyclical fashion as opposed to a counter cyclical fashion. Most these idiots get caught with their pants down at the worst time then have to go begging for liquidity to the sharks. ANV needed the equity raise since they failed to get their house in order in good times with plenty of time to have done so.
