I am possibly going to post less on golds potential in the future since it is sort of counterproductive to my own accumulation scheme. Still, I can't resist that one. http://www.platts.com/Metals/News/7719694....lsrssheadlines1

You guys trading gold? Good luck! :lol: http://jsmineset.com/index.php/2009/03/12/...news-today-136/

That's only because of the combination that these people are stupid and the government wants them to stay stupid.

He quite clearly does not understand the concept of a monetary commodity, i.e. real money. This would distress me quite a bit if I were invested with him (which I am not).

I think I am going to buy from CID. I just realized that I save £1 per coin when I buy from Europe (7% VAT), so I might just do that. I think I will go for 2009 Eagles & Maples, and then maybe a few Libertads and Koalas just because they are pretty. I don't like Philharmonikers, they look like medals to me.

I will buy a few rolls of 1oz silver coins today. I read everywhere that we will see a (short?) economic/stock market recovery, gold not being able to get over $1,000, yadayada. I think that's the right time to buy the physical stuff. IMO, the economy/Titanic is now half way up in the air, and people seem to think it will stay like this, or actually plunge back in to normal sailing position. Well, I don' think so. I think the ship will go down anyway.

This sounds a little risky to me, but obviously depends on income levels/currencies etc.

This is great because I wanted to buy tomorrow. However, I wanted to buy silver, and it has held up better than usual.

David Morgan pointing out on the latest FSN show that SLV and GLV are possibly just silver/gold derivatives. Apparently there is some evidence that the SLV could be the collateral for the huge silver shorts in the NYMEX. Sounds all very dangerous/like a scam. He also points out the SLVs listing of bar numbers is irrelevant, what matters is the legal structure of the thing.

Not if the BoE dishes out fresh money for cheap. Also called QE.

This is a log Y-axis!

No way, Jose. http://gold.approximity.com/since1968/DJIA...-Ratio_LOG.html Could happen in a pretty bad (i.e. hyper-)inflation. You seem to be very optimistic on Sterling ($10,000=£7,000 ).

A majority has no gold whatsoever yet (except for their wedding bands). This might change. EDIT: Also, what about the 4,000 tonnes the Chinese want to buy? Lots of buying power in gold out there.

I have used Nivea for decades and they have excellent products. After all, they're German.

There are no certainties. But there is a model.The model is based on today's data and not tomorrow's maybe hyper-inflated data where gold could go to infinity.

You are 100% wrong. This is the price gold should have NOW, under current conditions. The "toast" price would be much, much higher.

Other coins are closer to £14. I might buy a few soon. But I have been concentrating on palladium and silver through GM recently. I would like to see lower premiums too. The COMEX simply has to catch up. Financial meltdown?

I feel the need to buy a nice stack of silver coins rather soon. The 2009 Libertads could be a candidate. Eagles and Maples are also similar in price. Hmm, yummyumm, real, physical silver!

My opinion is this: 1930 (the Great Depression) was obviously a walk in the park to what we are facing now. Hence things will be more extreme. This applies to deflationary aspects as well as to inflationary aspects. The deflationary forces today are possibly dimensions larger than in 1930, but so are the money spigots. I therefore think that we can see a sell-off in markets similar to 1929-1932, at the same time consumer prices might soon go up, and even more so could gold go up.

Too bad, as it had just gotten interesting.

Could be, or not. The question is, why should there be a 'normal' season during the biggest and most devastating financial crisis the planet has ever seen?
