Mr Pipples

Can't post the article as subscription needed - but can post the intro - which contains a statement I see as immediately relevant: http://www.chrismartenson.com/blog/market-...ng-coming/30601

I read lots (bulls n bears) - don't take any of it as a given and post here what I find is of interest to myself, the theme of the threads and sometimes individual posters. (I originally replied with this link to a post by Pixel8r over on Goldfingers thread.) Saying all that, I do take your point. Who said it's believed or to be believed? When people post links here (well, when I do) they are sharing what they find of possible interest and relevance. Not necessarily (though they might be) saying the info is to believed. The article may well be flawed. Many 'knowledgeable' peoples writings, posts, strategies prove to be flawed - certainly at times. Doesn't mean they should be dismissed - what puts me off some opinion is when the writer seems to think they're 'flawless'. Here's another article I find of interest: Are Gold, Oil and the S&P500 having a Seasonal Pivot Trading Low? - http://www.thegoldandoilguy.com/articles/a...ot-trading-low/ EDITED: slightly - to remove a little morning grumpiness.

TBH, I don't think a serious increase in gold 100% guarantees a serious increase in silver - depends on what happens. In other words, I have little concern for golds outlook - I do have some for silver... Don't think silver is such a 'given' as gold. Saying that, I'm betting silver will do well - and I've got a high % of the stuff!

How do you say 'got proper gold? in Chinese? (Mandarin or Wu??? - afraid I only speak Yorkshire.) Man jailed for illegal gold futures operation in east China - http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90776/90882/6798337.html Naughty. So, might the Chinese soon like proper S&G even more?

Paul Tudor Jones ♥ gold - http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2009/10/29...dor-jones-gold/

I recommend this guy. His trading style (if you are a trader - of anything) has got to be of interest and his daily updates are always worth a read - even if you maybe don't go along with him all the way. Yes, that's the fella. But, that quote might not make sense unless you understand his trading method (pyramids for buys and sells - with a core you don't trade). He's very gold focused.

Gold ETFs, caveat emptor - http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2009/10/08...-caveat-emptor/ Nice to see FT point out this little detail...

To be fair, I'd like to see Nadler use this in any way other than as a negative comment on golds performance.

From front of Kitco page. For the first time in ages I checked a Nadler article and clocked him mentioning Kitco starting up this new Kitco Gold Index. http://www.kitco.com/kitco-gold-index.html#RT Gold / $ Index. Now, I'm sure it's a useful and relevant chart tool to use, but the way this is being pushed seems to be along the lines of 'no, gold is still no good - don't buy it'. FFS - Kitco and Nadler!

IIRC, only post decimal are CGT free. Remember though that G&S bullion/coin is classed as a chattel re. CGT - which makes a difference.
