AUDIT AFTER GOLD DEALER'S SUICIDE SUGGESTS CUSTOMERS LOST MILLIONS - http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html...753C1A965948260

Got a link to these polls, Dr.B? Who was polled? Makes a big difference. Are you talking hedge fund managers, high wealth individuals or was it a massive poll of the general population? Certain people saying it's a 'buy' is one thing - lots of buying actually being done is another. Did they poll China and other central banks? Those that didn't consider or have reconsidered gold. If you are still planning - you haven't yet followed through on your plans. Have many of those capable of buying big bullion (or a big percentage of those capable of buying a bit of bullion) moved into the game yet? Then there's the whole COMEX price issue swizz lark too...

Balls... I'm getting mixed opinion from those wiser then me! Captain Hook is bullish for bullion and stocks over at treasurechestsinfo.com (can't post, I'm afraid - as subsciber only).

Good idea if you're happy to play this ratio - but I'm wary of silver! Already got 4:3 ratio of G to S... don't want to be caught holding too much silver. F'd up last July by missing my stops on a big temp' silver play (no frikin internet for a week!) and decided to not trade any more silver bullion since then... Was thinking about $/gold trade - doubt if I'll do it over next few months.

Yes, that's how it would feel... Especially when this stuff is stated:

Do you ever think to trade on the volatility with your GM stuff GF? I nearly sold at over £600 around xmas - expecting a dip... Thinking might make sense soon - but it's a tough one to call! Maybe just continue to buy on dips and hold - though it's sure tempting to trade.

I got in with a sneaky bit of LSIL at the dip - tee hee!

Trying to bust through 830 and trigger sells - naughty.

Not sure what you mean by work? DZZ can be bought through any broker that trades US stocks. To 'work' it, buy when you think gold is going to fall and sell when you think gold is going up. That said, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole - only for serious, experienced, traders.

If u put some credit in what Hoye, etc are saying in Frizzers latest podcast, then maybe buy silver at GM with the option to swap for gold (or other currencies) later.

cgnao's pretty quiet on here nowaday - is he posting elsewhere? Anyone spotted the lad?

Ha! Just came to this thread to post that very link! Like what it says about silver... Last paragraph: I'd suggest that, although some emergency scran is a good idea, thinking more about growing your own, allotments, etc. would make sense too.

Crikey, well I'd best not post anything from JT again without a 'VI warning' then, eh?
