  1. Sure wish I had better... Underestimating the banksters and too much reading of KWN, maybe!
  2. Actually, '....could get gold moving up again....' Is what I meant. And money velocity picking up is what could increase the tapering: http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/graph/?g=q67
  3. MA - quite the turnaround... http://armstrongeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/METPGSO-12-12-2013.pdf
  4. A good read... Krassimir Petrov - http://etfdailynews.com/2013/12/10/the-correction-isnt-over-but-golds-headed-to-20000/
  5. I don't see US QE as the main driver of gold price, but its tapering could get money velocity up again...
  6. Also, that momentum - HFT, algos sure helped push that along. A manipulation, if you like. Guess I'm paraphrasing Trader Dan and Stewart Thomson, in the main... http://traderdannorcini.blogspot.com/2013/12/qe-is-not-producing-inflation-here-in-us.html Get the regular bit from ST here: http://www.321gold.com
  7. The ramp up in gold price to 2011 was QE/inflation expectation related. When it was seen that the printy supply wasn't splashing around but was being contained by the banks and used for profiting/speculation on (so inflating) the stock markets, others money tagged that way. And, like DrB said - momentum... I don't think it was lots of people seeing the 'light' and gold as a monetary asset (with a currency crisis coming) and then dropping that in 2011 to just see it as only a commodity again... This year, banister/corrupt politician meddling to cripple the gold markets in India (and China for some time) has also had it's effect. Maybe next year will see the restrictions dropped in India and cost-push inflation start to show more... See what Japan gets busy with.
  8. MA's latest Market Watch re. metals. Seems to be saying he thinks the bottom may be in - though it is easy to get lost in MA's analysis, with his 'possible inversions', etc. http://armstrongeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/METPGSO-12-11-2013.pdf
  9. Gold for pussy: http://www.catsforgold.com/
  10. Just thinking that too... The silver shorts must surely be getting a bit twitchy.
  11. Looks like silver, that frisky mare, is bolting.
  12. Yes, the GDXJ does have naughty potential - somewhat flawed... Still, I wouldn't disregard it totally on that report. People could just do their own version of it by, say, picking 10 of it's listed stocks and investing directly. Some of the 'bigger' juniors may have US and CAD listings - if that makes things easier for people re. their brokers. Doubt I'll bother as got most of em anyways... Bubb should do one!
  13. Pixel8r - you seem to be able to get a reply from James Turk OK - fancy putting this to him?
  14. Went from about 50/50 G/S to 66 G/33 S (With something like 5/7 in bullion and rest in PM stocks). Fair do's... RH isn't far behind ratio-wise.
  15. Gold Bars Selling Like Hotcakes At Harrods - http://www.businessinsider.com/henry-blodg...VOqlwYAAAB09X0G Gold - a six thousand year-old bubble - http://blogs.ft.com/maverecon/2009/11/gold...ear-old-bubble/ This guy seems to have totally washed over the history, properties and attributes of gold quite purposefully, IMO. Please feel free to put him right in the articles comments with facts, quotes, etc.
  16. No, I realize you opinions re. hyper,inf',defl',etc differ - I said: IE all of this you posted: Is any one asking you to have the same opinion? It's the quality of opinion that sets the quality of the forum. I don't think you'll find ST fits with most definitions of a Gold Bug - if you look into what he actually says. You seem to be actively trying to tar people with your (mocking) 'gold bug' brush...
  17. Yes - but in what regard do you want your opinion to be held? You certainly like to share your opinions throughout this forum - why? My point is a lot of your opinion doesn't differ, as you describe, from ST's - and you'd realize that if you actually chose to take a look at, what you feel obliged to judge over, with a reasonable effort. I thought you might appreciate ST's approach - particularly pyramiding buys and sells and the reasons why that likely makes sense in this investing/trading environment.
  18. And it's clear from the rest of your post that you didn't look further than this article (at his website, pyramid trading strategy, etc. http://www.gracelandupdates.com) yet you still feel it makes sense to judge, criticize and harp on 'knowledgeably'. Maybe you're right to disregard so off-handedly though, Stewart Thomson is only a retired Merrill Lynch broker after all.
  19. Did you read this article properly RH? He's warning not to pile in now if you haven't got any/missed out. Have you read any of his other articles? I'd say you've totally got the wrong end of the stick in your call on Steve Thomson's strategy and approach. The guy is pro-gold but very cautious in how he trades. Take another look - you can check out plenty of his stuff at 321gold and his website.
  20. Bikers causing problems on the forum again? (I'm off back out to Thailand soon and will likely hire a Kaw e6n to do the Mae Hong Son loop again... Sweet!)
  21. Check bottom of page: http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/energy/nym...ly-reports.html
  22. Feels like there's a battle going on in silver.
  23. Maybe the same is on the cards... But quite a lot's happened since then. Wouldn't bet too much on it.
