  • Gold Transforming into a Completely Demonetized Wealth Asset [View article]
    I think most gold/silver investors agree with this statement, I certainly do, the key question is, when will things stabilize? If you think a year or two or sooner, by all means get out of gold. If you think 5-10 years, you're in for a wild ride when the Asian CB's attempt to get out of treasuries and into the only true (fill in your favorite term for gold).

    Over the next decade the central banks of the world will dictate the price of gold, do you think they will be buying or selling?

  • Silver Prices Are About to Fall [View article]
    Good bull and bear comments for the most part, IMHO. One quote comes to mind:

    "It's not pulling back very much. And it's not giving people who haven't yet invested a chance to get in at a lower price.That tends to happen in a bull market; people wait around for a correction, but it never goes down far enough to give people an opportunity to get in at a more favorable price."

  • Incurious Gold Manipulation Theorists [View article]
    "Central banks stand ready to lease gold in increasing quantities should the price go up."

    Umm, it is public knowledge that Alan Greenspan said this in an open session to Congress, is that a conspiracy theory? So DiggerUK, please take your nonsensical, illogical name-calling posts, dig a hole, and stick them there.

  • Gold Is Not in a Bull Market [View article]
    Hey Carl,

    You're right we do need balance, and I apologize if I came across a little emotionally against your post, god knows sometimes there are too many emotions and not enough facts on SA, just check the APPLE blogs. If the economy were humming along fine, there's no way I'd be invested more than 5% in gold or its associated investment vehicles. I've only really been looking at and investing in gold/silver bullion stocks for the last three months, so I'm a far cry from what people would call a gold bug. But this guy Nadler, I don't know what his problem is. His articles are full of name calling and innuendo most of the time, he just makes me sick. It's obvious he or his company have some huge vested interest in seeing gold stay down, maybe Kitco doesn't have the gold it claims to have and they are afraid of people taking physical delivery of the gold kitco claims to hold for them. I don't know. I have seen some rational arguments against gold but his just aren't it, in my opinion at this level if you name call and drop innuendo you lose most of your credibility.

    NADLER RETORT

    Carl,

    Give me a break! Doesn't a balanced article by definition present some pros and cons? Why is Nadler always negative? Of course I agree with some of what he is saying, such as gold as not yet seen highs in other currencies, but how about other huge factors in favor of more upside? Most central banks around the world, net sellers of gold for the past 15 yrs or more, have become net buyers. The Chinese are pushing their citizens through their banks to buy gold. What effect has China had on every other commodity in the world over the last ten years? I realize also China has become the largest gold producer in the world, but form what I've read their still net importers of it. For much more please see:

  • Why a Gold Bug Isn't Buying Gold Now [View article]
    Is it possible with all the negative sentiment worldwide about the dollar that any pullback in stocks could lead capital to other safe haven investments - i.e. gold - and will we get to a point where gold and the dollar will decouple, and unless the global and domestic economic situation corrects positively in the extreme (which I think everyone agrees is doubtful in the short term) we will get to a point where we always see gold strength regardless of what the dollar is doing?

  • And the Real Inflation-Adjusted High for Gold Is... [View article]
    Please don't quote Jon Nadler. He practically screeches not to buy gold, and his main desperate argument against it consists of calling his opponents names, and offers very few facts, just small anecdotes and soundbites. I personally think gold could go either way, but the arguments for upside over the medium term seem to far outweigh the case for much of a downside. Nadler must hold a bunch of shorts, or maybe his bullion bank is worried about customers increasingly taking physical delivery of bars that have been sold or leased multiple times..........
