Despite many articles which treat gold solely as a commodity (and the article above focuses more on getting out of gold rather than in), I think we can definitely say that the public awareness phase has begun. Does anyone have an insight into the '70s/'80s bull market to determine where we are? I was still potty training back then. According to this, which is basically a prediction from 2004 (or 2006, when the accompanying article was written), we're at the end of 1978, which coincides with the start of the mania phase. Spooky! http://goldsilver.com/graphics/gold_bulls_3_stages.gif He does, but so do a lot of others here. Until he gets that and calms down... Yep, seeing GF's charts of houses priced in gold and then a long term of the Dow or oil priced in gold really opened my eyes.

I don't think you're as far gone as CDSwamp and you have some good insights even if your manner doesn't appeal to most people much of the time. What I was going on about was thanking you for your thoughts and passing on mine. That sort of thing happens.

Nice. You know genius when, instead of thinking "I wish I'd thought of that," you think "how did he think of that." (or she)

In the context of the price of gold when it peaks in terms of housing, why not? The chart on the HPC homepage shows that the last 2 troughs each fell below their preceding 2 peaks. If that happens again we'll go below £130k in real terms.

I didn't troll CDSwamp, I asked if he'd like to discuss his claims. If he hadn't made stuff up and was able to proceed without contradicting himself then he might have gone along with it. I didn't troll the IS--RA--EL thread, I was trying to help you see that your first post there was not a good way to start a discussion, and that you'll not get respect from others if you behave that way. Wait for the red mist to pass, re-read the thread and you'll see me in a new light. I was also hoping for an apology for the insult you gave to the whole forum in post#1, a troll-like post if ever I saw one! I gather you two have a background in conspiracy websites where often one or more Gurus announces far-out "facts" about how the world works and the sheeple uncritically drink up the koolaid. Perhaps you have decided to become gurus yourselves now, but I wish you could go about it in a more adult manner than that. You and CDSwamp have some interesting contributions to make, and there is even a forum specifically for them where your guruhood would no doubt be conferred if you qualify. You'll certainly have to be able to survive a level of criticism on this site, but testing your opinions makes them stronger. Attempting rational discussion about far out theories with people who have no basis for their beliefs is like talking to a drunk man. You don't know what they're going to say next but you know it won't make any sense and you feel they could lash out at any time. After a while it's best just to leave them alone whilst they piss down their leg, but it can ruin an evening all the same. It's from the board avatar library. It was on 5Live news a few times this morning.

I suppose that means you won't explain your contradictory analyses of the reasons behind Fisk's story. Or support your claims with evidence. If you're talking bollox now then why should anyone ever take any of your unsupported nonsense seriously? A whole forum was created where the burden of evidence is reduced and you're too scared even to try out your theories in there! To be honest, I found you out very early on, and the comments about ignoring users tells me I'm not alone. But at least I've tried to help, by holding up a mirror to your inadequacies. You're on ignore.

Yep, no balls at all. Seriously, if you do have knowledge of elitist actions behind this then let's discuss it. in the right place. I can't be the only one who's interested, surely!?

Apologies for not being blown away by that. This is not the first time it has been mentioned by wealthy nations in mainstream media as an alternative currency and we already know that at least China and Russia are increasing their reserves. So, it turns out I do get it. I just had to lower myself to understand you Some humility from you would be appreciated in future.

I get far more than you could possibly concede. What confuses me now is that you first claimed that Fisk's story should not be taken seriously on the grounds that he's an intelligence asset but you have subsequently claimed to know both that the story is true and who gave it to him. So the only thing to be skeptical about is the timing and the tone? I see you passed up enrieb's invitation to dazzle us with your secret knowledge in a dedicated forum, but if you do grow some balls and find some evidence I'd be happy to participate. I doubt the CIA's goal was to link the words Fisk and Gold today but if there's an elitist prophesy which would be fulfilled by such a correlation then do tell (just not here).

You don't get that the new forum is not a gulag. It's a pace you can discuss things like the control of the media. Questioning aspects of a popular gold-related story is relevant to gold investment. Unsupported attacks on columnists is not helpful here but there is a place for evidence-based discussion elsewhere. Do you see why the other forum was created now?

2018 is the completion date, when it's too late to worry. The start date is in the past. There have already been deals between China and other Asian or S. American countries to trade in Yuan.

I do get it. This is the gold thread. When will you get it?

Got any evidence? In 2003 he revealed the place of manufacture of a missile which exploded in a Baghdad market to be somewhere in Texas (IIRC). He was shown a piece of shrapnel with a traceable serial number whereas the US and British authorities claimed it was an Iraqi anti-aircraft missile. I know it's only circumstantial but that doesn't sound like a plant to me. Anyway, why do you suppose the story about moving away from the dollar is false? Haven't there been enough indications to be reasonably sure of the accuracy of at least some of the story? p.s. there's a new forum for that sort of claim. Perhaps you could expand there without distracting this thread.

Don't people buy on the rumour and sell on the news? This is technically still a rumour but it's been accepted on these boards for a while now and has just become "news". We're not that far ahead of the game are we? Anyway, the timeline in the Fisk story was 2018.

I'm collecting my federal reserve notes into bunches of 400. It won't be long now.

Gold is moving too. After Friday's little exchange of blows, is this the Chinese claiming ownership of the market? I can't remember this sort of action at this time of day before.

Definitely. The commies over the Land of the Free any day.

From the Forbes article: "There's been a lot of demand for gold held in Switzerland because it's outside the political jurisdiction of the U.S. and Europe" NOPE! Switzerland seems to be dancing to America's tune of late. I've still got most of my BV and GM stash there though

At the risk of setting off an avalanche, it's something like this... [missWorld]video_code[/missWorld]

The Laugh Heard Round the World From:

I appreciate you like to believe you're the only person who knows stuff, but I have indeed heard of China. What I don't know is what their maximum buy price is. $900 looked like a good floor a while back; perhaps the Chinese have raised their floor a few bucks a week or something? What I really wanted to know though, is opinions on whether the rebounds really are getting steeper, or if it's just my unreliable memory.

I can't remember all the smackdowns but I have a feeling that the rebounds are steeper now than in the past. Are people rushing to buy on any kind of sale prices? The silver smackdown is going well though.

A forensic deconstruction of RH's position would have been preferable to insults and pictures.
