Likewise.. it's been a hell of a ride so far

It might be a bit premature... oh, what the hell it's been a while

I noticed, just been catching up on these 'ere threads since I got back. Had no trouble with goldmoney and just now sent some £s over to BV. Any problems reported buying there?

I must go away more often. I come back and find gold and silver are having a summer sale - fantastic! How is everyone, nobody worrying I hope?

What on Earth is all this mithering about?? Why isn't everyone buying? How often have we all wished gold was cheaper and now we have a (ahem) golden opportunity to load up - I've just bagged some more I'd be in for some more at these prices except I'm off on holiday tomorrow... oh well. Remember: nothing has changed - the Fed and the other central banks are pumping enormous amounts of smack into a sick dog and there's ever more parasites bleeding its barely functioning corpse dry - good luck everyone and remember...

Good advice. A lot of people on here have been buying gold for a while and have "found their legs", as it were. Some are very bullish and some are quite cautious. I remember when I first started buying gold about 2 years ago (and I'd been thinking about getting some for almost a year before that!), I would be constantly watching the gold charts tick up and tick down and worry whenever the price moved moved down. I started off very small. My first purchase was a single 1 oz Brittania then nothing for a month, then I bought a Panda a month later. After that I opened BV account and slowly bought just a few grammes at a time. Slowly, I got to see how the market would change (a bit like watching the weather) and would tally my responses with others (in The Old Gold Thread on HPC). Over time I learned not to care about wild variations but to keep plugging away with small regular purchases. By doing this I have managed to smooth out the peaks and troughs but I haven't necessarily benefitted as much as if I'd gone "all in" two years ago... but I've certainly been able to sleep better My reasoning to buy some gold is to protect some of my savings, not necessarily to get rich... but it would be nice!

Heh heh, I'm quite looking forawrd to listening to Puplava this weekend - he'll have a lot of explaining to do Not that I mind at all, how often have we wished for cheaper prices ... and here they are. If only I had bigger boots...

Who cares??

Hey check this out - large smackdown to $851 Can't believe this, more cheap gold. Can't charge my BV account fast enough Edit: and check out silver - wow!

Agreed, I have a rather nice set of 1oz silver pandas and they are really, really pretty. Prettier than the gold ones I sometimes think

Thanks wren I seem to be signature-blind these days.

During... while no one is watching?

Hey GF, didn't you used to post some graphs of UK houseprices in gold back on hpc? Do you still do them?

I believe that by 2013 gold will have doubled (at least) in $ terms, £1 will equal $1 (at best) and UK house prices will have halved (at least). Makes sense to save for a house in gold to me... well, that's my plan anyway

Fret not mattyboy, gold will be $1132 on 8th November 2008 (11.22 am).

It's still July here Dr B!

Yeah, LauraB - what Bobsta said ^^^ Looking at a 5-year or even 1-year graph of gold makes it pretty clear that waiting a couple of hours isn't going to make any noticable difference. Buying in small amounts, regularly and often, is the key.. then trend is your friend

Indeed. I try to use the phrase "credit collapse" whenever talking about the current financial mess, NLP and all that

That was very considerate of them... and now some of it belongs to me

I'm lucky, due to a temporary quirk of fate I'm currently being paid weekly. It's great, I just buy the same amount in £s each week whatever happens... smooths out the peaks and troughs nicely When I go back onto monthly payment its gonna really try my patience. A Septemeber/October rise like last year would be just great. Holding fast.

... to meeeeeeee!

Ha ha! Exactly! It's just the usual end-of-month-gotta-smack-it-down. Just recharged my BV and GM accounts

Bargain gold and silver everybody! Grab it while you can. Thanks Uncle PPT

Nice recovery going on... sorry, I mean "noise"
