HPCsoYESTERDAY

I always felt that The Sundays were heavily influenced by this lot.....

 

../..

i never made that connection before, but i see what you mean. i really dig the rustic folky vocals of Harriet with a twinge of west country thrown in.

now for something completely different - i am going to start uploading remixes of songs that i cannot find on youtube soon; but in the meantime i'll settle for this...

I went to see the Sundays in Nottingham 20 years ago, I'd kind of forgotten about them, it's nice to have a catch up...

 

The New FADS tune is F@ing excellent, thanks for reviving that one. Even Johnny Marr would be proud!

never got seeing the Sundays, but i saw the fads in Brighton 90 + Glastonbury (92?). I used to have a tape of their first peel sessions which were 'kin ace; lost it now but some faithful fan has the tracks up on youtube (search for peel sessions)

jesus and mary chain + smiths = good memories

sorry apologies for draining the Shaun Ryder continuation dry! but i just had to get this tune out (if you like it - turn it up)

Happy Xmas all

Here's palladium on the log. The log shows that it's retraced most of what it lost since '01, which perhaps puts a different light on it?....:

 

 

I am looking for a move to 850ish here which would still be shy of the 01 high.

Besides, i am drawing resistance from a diff. set of peaks. wrt silver, i will buy a short hedge (with tight stops) should the price fall below the recent 3 month trend support. So i am happy to wait and watch the market for price signals.

Nice [but don't you think silver may have peaked here?].

 

Here's what I'm looking for in my next silver trade. Buy around 17.90 and sell at 54. May take a six month wait and then a couple of years sitting.

 

 

if you look at a linear chart, silver does indeed look like it has peaked (in this current wave)

However, the log chart shows a different story (open to interpretation). I did think that silver had peaked here but now i am not so sure given the log chart and looking at silvers current bull vs. palladium - i think pd has further to run here:

Of course, it's all in the eye of the chartist, so who knows. I note that Ronald Rosen has recently turned uber silver bull - i don't know if I'm happy with that!!

The best mix of WFL without exception (though the oakenfold one is pretty good!)

Do I have to keep repeating that I have a larger silver bullion position that has been core for a long time? I don't mind risking silver continuing skywards because I have a large enough core in bullion. I'm content both ways because even if volatile silver retraces, I don't doubt it will continue upwards at a later date.

.../...

sorry Romans for what may appear to be 'ganging up on you' here, i can assure you i am not

however, i still get confused with some of your replies. For example, I had asked you about selling your core ag pos earlier this year and this was my reply:

Sold for around $15.50. The bulk had been bought at around 12/ 13/ 14 dollars... so all up at least broke even.

 

I probably could have stayed in it until we saw 17 or 18 again, but I decided to get out of silver [as a long term core position] as - being a deflationist - I came to the realisation that there was just too much risk hanging over it. This was confirmed for me when it broke it's long term support. I put together a thread on this at the time. Actually, looking back, I was speculating on silver... that the ratio would go to 55 or 50 and I could then swap to gold. I will stick to buying gold in the future when "investing" and when speculating look to do something like the above posts outline. I don't think silver is a substitute for gold, which looks to me a lot safer.

 

I still have a good core of gold which I won't be selling come hell or high water. When selling my core holding of silver at GM, I also bought a lesser amount at BV to trade for dollars.... will look to sell this when silver gets to 18/ 19. I feel more comfortable swapping for dollars at BV as there is no uncertainty involved with sitting on dollars for a long period of time, and this is a lesser amount involving speculation not buy and hold. I will still bother to speculate a little with silver/ dollars because, who knows, silver may eventually explode to the upside in a few years time. But in the meantime the volatility should be traded. My targets will be to sell at 18/ 19, buy at 11/ 12 or so, and to not bother with intermediate moves.

for the interests of clarity and my own sanity can you just clear this up please - did you re-buy your core pos?

Nice tune DA.

Thanks warpig, nice tunes yourself - 4hero takes me back!!

"The Girl with the Sun in Her Head" was dedicated to the memory of Volume magazine photographer Sally Harding who died in 1995.[4] The track was recorded using electricity from a Greenpeace solar power generator. It opens with the sound of a heartbeat which serves as bass and develops into a cyclopean soundscape which many critics hold as one of Orbital's most accomplished pieces.[5]

From:

No I'm not being pedantic at all. Using a linear chart instead of a log chart leads to all sorts of distortions, which have been highlighted. Why don't you think about that objectively rather than taking such a personal and nasty approach.

 

Frankly, I'm amazed your still using these linear charts. Move on... and spare the abusive language.

surely it's about perspective - i can look at a graph in log and linear and appreciate both for what they are

I have an old maple which has spots...and that's supposed to be 9999. I am not really worried, as I guess it's just some thin copper impurity...

thanks GF and chris

Chris - that pic puts my mind to rest as the rouble is .999

Help! I've got rusty roubles!

I recently bought a mixed job lot of pm's, which included a 50 Rouble gold coin originally bought from Sper Bank (receipts and documentation were included in the lot)

I then remembered reading something about rust spots on here and a quick search revealed this:

Here's a head scratcher: as everyone knows from elementary chemistry courses, gold is the most inert metal in the world - it does not rust, nor corrode. Yet this is precisely what Russian commercial precious metal trading company, International Reserve Payment System, discovered on thousands of (allegedly) 999 gold coins "St George" (pictured insert) issued by the Central Russian Bank. The serendipitous discovery occurred after various clients of the company had requested that their gold be stored not in a safe, but in a far more secure place: "buried under an oak tree." As the website of IRPS president German Sterligoff notes: once buried, "the coins began to oxidize under the influence of moisture." And hence the headscratcher: nowhere in history (that we know of) does 999, and even 925 gold, oxidize, rust, stain, spot or form patinas, under any conditions.

well guess what?! on closer inspection in turns out my coin displays these spots as well

I am not that bothered, as this does not seem to be that unique - something to put down to experience. Anyone have any comments about this?

How is this for something that you absolutely don't want to have in your portfolio?

 

gf - what does TW stand for? trade weighted?

Fantastic version of one of my favourite songs

lol! JLL re-incarnated!

I cannot quite confirm this, but I don't have intraday data. According to the Approximity database, the London Fixing silver high in Sep. 1980 was $23.54/oz. See also the zoom-in chart below.

Also, there is the matter of how high that grand silver peak actually ascended to. Various numbers gravitate around $50 give or take a dollar or two. According to Paul Sarnoff's book "Silver Bulls", January silver contracts topped out at $49 with a low of $37 and a close of $44. However, Stephen Fay's work "The Great Silver Bubble", suggests that it went as high as $50.50 on the COMEX exchange but goes on to state that the record was actually set three days earlier on the CBOT exchanges where it topped out at $52.50. For historical purposes we go with the $50.50 on that notable Monday afternoon.
