Mr Pipples

Seeing as I've just made (begrudging and partial) preparations for a drop, could be that's what it'll do. Sinclair and www.ashraflaidi.com reckoning on up in June.

From http://www.marketforceanalysis.com/About_MFA.html If forward market trends are estimated through price analysis (fraught with errors) then won't that be how futures markets are set? If that's where the data from which the 'unique algorithm' extracts supply and demand (possible?) from, then how are the errors avoided? Well, he reckons it's going to happen very soon so we'll see if they called it right.

What, in particular, don't you reject, Dr B?

Inflation or deflation - GOLD WILL BE KING... http://www.clivemaund.com/article.php?art_id=1950

I'm with the reckoning that there's a high chance deleveraging is going to kick in again pretty soon. Gold stood up well last time - and I think it'll stand up even better this time (but may still get dragged down some - particularly at first). Think silver will cope better then last time too - but not as well as gold and there's more risk it'll take a fair whack. So, have (this was painful!) swapped a 1/4 to gold and put a 1/4 to $ (in GM - ready and waiting). Didn't like to do it - but I've had more £s of silver then gold for a long time (including during the last round of deleveraging) and this plan seems to make a bit of sense. Also cut back on pm stocks some - but have spread out to lots of juniors. Trying to duck and dive as best I can (got a few bruises but still standing) - we'll see!

Re. GM and taking possession... Gold - Can take possession of gold LBMA bars (@400oz) from either Zurich or London VIAMAT vaults after arrangement with GM. Silver - You can only take a minimum possession of a pallet of bars (30x@1000oz LBMA) from Zurich. You can arrange a representative of GM to meet you there(?) and pick up smaller amounts from the London vault - but at quite a large fee which would be significant if just wanting a few bars. 30+ bars and would be no rep' fee. Delivery by secure courier can be arranged via GM - expensive. ($250 refundable fee on request - so they don't faff about doing admin for people just thinking about it) Restrictions on delivery address. VAT on silver will be charged relative to country you collect in. This info from last year - might have changed. They had to figure some of it out due to my questioning them about it all.

VAT only paid on delivery. Check LBMA VAT arrangement on silver for more details: http://www.lbma.org.uk/london/taxation That's for silver bullion held in the UK - for silver bought/held abroad, then tax would only be applicable on importation to the UK.

Yep, but he's also suggesting that it might be a good idea to sell/short the majors soon too... He says, 'not yet' - but I'd say that focussing on juniors and lightening-up/selling/even shorting majors/mids would have made sense over the last week or so already. Eg, Yamana, RGLD, GG... Didn't manage that very well myself!

Think US and CAD markets are open Monday - confirmation would be good.
