Welcome to GEI, chipshot. I am also very bullish about silver long-term. I had not heard of Bensimon before. If you have a link to his interview that would be interesting. Even in today's dollars I think over 100 US dollars is very possible, perhaps in a few years. Silver is just so useful and thereby precious.

Jim Sinclair talked of a "Swiss stair" when governments accumulate. I don't know where the term comes from but the gold behaviour over the last several weeks has been like that. For a population of 1 300 million 34m ounces of central bank gold is peanuts.

This one? http://www.greenenergyinvestors.com/index....ic=8163&hl=

Apparently half of Latvia's hospitals have been closed.

A new euro all-time high: 793.60 Eyeballing the BV charts it looks like new all-time highs also in GBP, JPY, CAD and CHF.

Scary! Everybody should listen to this. Direct link to mp3 page: http://libertyarchives.com/farlive/FS2_WED.MP3

Now that we're well over 1000, give or take 100 doesn't seem like such a big deal any more. 1192.20 at the mo'.

Good for the gold price but maybe not so good for some of the miners? I wonder if more marginal companies will struggle to produce profitably as the available ores decline in quality? Thanks to Pixel8r for keeping us up to date with some of the better and more interesting gold articles.

USD 1189.90 EUR 785.93 (must be close to the all-time euro high) Pushing up in after-hours trading. USD 1200 beckons. Will it correct before then? Dollar down against the euro. USD 1.5143 = 1 euro

One of the reports said that HSBC inherited the gold storage business when it took over Republic Bank and now they are getting out of that business. So no surprise if the holdings need to be moved.

Link doesn't work. It seemed quite a plausible call to me.

Up to 1160.80. This is going to be exciting. Can they take it down?

Any link? That would tie in with BV's holdings remaining static at 18 tonnes the last few months. It wouldn't surprise me if Joe Investor has either been scared by the behaviour of the gold market over the last year or is more interested in other things at the mo' like stock markets.

Interestingly the holdings at BullionVault seem to have remained at 18 tonnes for several months. Maybe the 18-month long correction/sideways movement tempered demand?

Stylish. Is that a horseman and dragon motif like George and the dragon? I like the double-headed eagle also.

Great chart. Nice to see the upper red target line.

The EUR and GBP charts of silver display an inverted head and shoulders analagous to the USD gold one. I wonder if these will follow through in the same way. GBP silver is still slightly below its March '08 all-time high while EUR silver recently broke its old March '08 high. If they do blast off from an inverted H&S pattern it could be pretty spectacular.

Another great day for both gold and silver. In these 2 very volatile markets corrections come along fairly frequently especially after fast up moves like this. Anybody willing to stick their neck and call for a sizable correction soon? I certainly see 1000 again as possible but the 18 months consolidation has stored up a great deal of energy for this upthrust. It seems so far to be behaving as Pixel8r's lines imply like to the 2 previous massive upthrusts in '04-'05 and '07-'08. It wouldn't surprise me if it gets to 1250 or even 1350 with only some minor breathers. More lengthy and substantial corrections/sideways behaviour may only come after the energy of this upthrust is fizzled out at fairly higher levels like 1250.

Now that gold is well over 1000 ups and downs of 50 or a 100 don't seem so big as before.

It looks like a new goldmine will open in Scotland: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/s...icle6913206.ece

Could buying an ETF instead of 10 different stocks save on transaction fees? Just that I would like to buy a well managed basket of stocks, but if it involves extra risky derivatives I'm not so sure. Let's face it real juniors are high risk anyway. Why add more risk?

Thanks for pointing that out. Why don't they just buy company stocks?
