I look forward to significant shorts liquidation out there in the coming weeks and days,my only problem is selling to early.Sometimes I sell at 10000$ profit when another 1-2 hours would double it.
At least I am happy to make good money trading,as I have no vision nor idea if NG vehicles will ever hit the street.My Mercedes E Class Avantgarde is excellent benzin super car and I am not willing to drive T Boone Picken's futuristic vehicle just yet.I respect and love the man and feel very sorry for him to lose trading NG,it was the liquidation on Crude Oil that triggered this crazy NG sell.It will shoot up again,don't worry dear Pickens.]]>

Precious Metals: Emotions Still Stronger Than Fundamentals http://seekingalpha.com/article/92655-precious-metals-emotions-still-stronger-than-fundamentals?source=feed#comment-239065 239065 Where is all the GC Central Banks sold at 1000$,wasn't it bought by dealers who expected to resell it to average Joe for 1500$ in coins,bars,jewelry.
What happened in reality is,the hedgies that bought then futures for 1000$ average took physical delivery as price was lower in a matter of days,they expected to get rid of it sooner and get their money back,but as it didn't happened those same investors today are bleeding and spread various rumors that there is no Gold on earth,that all gold is already sold to Indians,Chinesse,Russi... then in fact each ounce of gold mined since 2000 years ago and before is still here with us in jewelry,coins,watches etc., that was lost is maybe 50% of all mined Gold,but not every second person on earth losses his/hers all Gold.I have my Rolex Daytona 18K n my wrist and expect to have it tomorrow at the same wrist,only if somebody will come at night and cut my hand or still it,then this Rolex will still be somwhere else.
Bottom line,those like me that bought Gold investments in 1998 and sold them in few years time not being greedy made good profit and moved else,those that bought GC at 1000$ probably will never see their money.Greed knows no limits but pressure of the metals will make all those who bought higher sell at a loss,maybe then it will be a right time to buy GC again,but not before,excesses must be liquidated first.]]>

Bespoke's Commodity Snapshot (8/25/08) http://seekingalpha.com/article/92652-bespoke-s-commodity-snapshot-8-25-08?source=feed#comment-239062 239062 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 07:02:28 -0400 No Panic as HudBay Minerals Closes Balmat Mine http://seekingalpha.com/article/92640-no-panic-as-hudbay-minerals-closes-balmat-mine?source=feed#comment-239061 239061 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 06:57:16 -0400 Barrick Gold: Higher Cash Costs Weaken Upside http://seekingalpha.com/article/92635-barrick-gold-higher-cash-costs-weaken-upside?source=feed#comment-239059 239059 I looked at ABX ( BNY Jaywalk Research ) balance sheet,as being futures/options investor for the last 5 years (since then I never looked back to stocks in general,as investment) I like ABX as know the company since 1997 and have friends who invested since then and still hold it,of course they are not happy as stock didn't perform good lately.
So,ABX grew it's revenue in line with price of Gold since then as this is low risk run company,that sells it's metals on cash and forward markets.The recent price is very undervalued if one looks at Gold price today,the ABX must sell at 40-45 at least a share,but it looks that insiders and major nvestors or miss bigger picture or they expect GC to head sharply lower in the future.
Bottom line,ABX as equity investment is well protected from further fall in GC price the only problem is their aquisitions that were built on higher GC prices.If price of GC will rise (ABX don't see it now) the stock is well positioned to outperform other,weaker mining companies.
I would definitely buy ABX but would hedge my exposure with covered calls on ABX LEAPS.
Good luck,now I must trade other things.]]>

Macro Trends Spell Doom for Banks and Their Profits http://seekingalpha.com/article/92667-macro-trends-spell-doom-for-banks-and-their-profits?source=feed#comment-239053 239053 Recession,not recession,who cares how one calls it.
I embrace recession with open arms,as being short seller of index futures there is no better sunshine than a market crash.
If every one of SA raders liquidated his long equity positions,that would be great,as in a short time this positions probably will be liquidated by a broker on a margin call or by investor for whom 70% loss on the best in the world bluest of blue chips will be too much to swallow.And then the real crash will start,not when the DOW will be at 9000-8000,the crash will start at DOW 6000.Just wait a bit and you will be a witness of all the fraud on Wall Street that went for 20-30 years.]]>

Freddie's Loss is Gold's Gain http://seekingalpha.com/article/92325-freddie-s-loss-is-gold-s-gain?source=feed#comment-238453 238453 The charts you give have no correlation,their beta is similar as Freddie,Fannie and Gold all crashed.
Regarding volume,better check the volume when GCwas at 1030$ looks same as FNM,FRE.If this stocks crashed why everybody thinks GC can not crash after it's 1030$ euphoria.It can crash so low that you can't imagine,just wait and see.Gold miners already are selling at 600-700$ an ounce gold.]]>

Why Should I Own Gold? http://seekingalpha.com/article/92429-why-should-i-own-gold?source=feed#comment-238439 238439 I have gold Rolex Daytona and it is one of my investments in gold,also I buy 5-10g gold bars and give them away instead of business card,this way I am more noticed and remembered.Also jewelry for women looks nice in general same as platinum,white gold etc.,it looks expensive.
But as concerning value owning gold as investment,there is no sense,Central Banks have reserves from the past they don't buy new gold for reserves and stories of China Central Bank or any other country buying it is bluff,lies.
I also like to trade GC futures and make good money on it mostly shorting on bounces.
What sense all gold/silver/palladium stocks have at all,no sense,it is all on paper same as trading futures.
That's why I would never own gold as investment.]]>
