grumpy-old-man

I am thinking about possibly joining later in the year, swampy offered to go in with me (although he's doing me a favour really with his knowledge level) I reckon though that the next year or 2 will probably be the most difficult years to trade for the next few decades, so probably not the best time to risk take, even if they are calculated. Perhaps I use that as a stepping stone to see what happens, then look to make some cash after 2011 ?? the problem is I don't want to be glued to a computer screen for 24/7.......much like I am now....hang on a mo..... I really enjoy the geo-politics & history immensely, you learn so much, especially from the history side of things.

it was actually mainly for flatcap & havilark as they said I was stoopid is as stoopid does. so I have reacted very childishly by showing them that life is like a box of chocolates, the only difference is I did know which ones were soft. point made very well I thought. however I fear I will come undone with my 'gold will finish Feb high after this crash, with new highs every week' post. edited

edited as it was a childish reply.

muwahahahahahahahahaha not long now. 100% correct, guaranteed.

the disconnect is here between the paper & physical market at last ?? if only.............. gotta to happen some time though, now is a good a time as any.... plus poss shortages of physical ??

it's very very quiet on this thread tonight where are all the BIG paper day traders ??

yep, I stiill stick COMPLETELY by that statement. It's the 4th of Feb btw. after this crash, gold will make new high's every week, & you can take that to the bank my little virtual internet key tapper. (edit - not all time high's obviously)

nothing more than this is a manufactured market crash (if I am right, well not me but you get ma drift. Don't want the decent posters like yourself on here to think I am getting above my station ). it's the grey financial elite that most of the trader posters on GEI don't believe exist, so you can see my dilemma here. I mean some thought O'Bama was the new economic messiah, others don't believe in Fema camps & the coming total social breakdown, so what chance have I got talking about the grey elite's pulling strings from upon high ?? edited - Legatus would need a thread of it's own.

can I just ask this once more for those that may have missed my request.

on the public side of it you get lot's of cryptic clues, which if you read his site most days you start to get a feel for. Then you combine that with the various sites that discuss him & you recognise other posters that I have down as 'listen to these' posters from previous looooooooooooooooooooooong reads, lkike detriumisheavy for example..... then you link that into other sites discussing M&A, CEO replacements & 'other events'. This is without the insider info that you get from joining the site, a lot less cryptic obviously.....so you can imagine how much easier it would be. hope this helps. edited - there are lot's more areas to be aware of also...................

also, that was exactly the same link as was in my earlier post.

2 things, firstly I don't trade, & secondly, a trader with the geo-political info that I read would make good use of it, hence Reinhardt's cohorts of successful traders. If I was going to start trading (& I have seriously thought about it through reinhardt's site, half price subscription atm), I would be doing it that way for sure. Hello swampy if you're watching. Remember swampy used to talk about this type of stuff all the time, I listened, from recollection the traders on here don't.

the hpc links are above.... I found out about Legatus last year & mentioned it on GEI, that's why I have been paying attention to it's significance since. I read a lot of different sites every day. enterprisecorruption, wiredpirate, lemetropolecafe, rumourmillnews. GLP, zerohedge, trendsresearch & many more

the QE statement....NOPE, just my background reading of all things geo-political. Just because I don't post doesn't mean I don't understand. but why did I know the markets would crash beginning the 4th ?? muwahahahahahahahahahahahah

Legatus.....nothing to do with QE (which is only suspended, not stopped) the market IS timed.....apparently

funny, but NO it didn't.

I think GF handled that thread fairly tbh, all things considered. (& no I definetly haven't taken a pay off ) will the pog go below that Indian floor though, that's the question. I am not worried in the slightest though. If you have put the relevant homework in, hold only physical then you understand the final outcome (or pretty much)

any of the chartist's see this coming then ?? (genuine question) apparently for those that use 'fibonacci retracement' it coincided with dates starting the 4th(today) also iirc, but this is not a strong area for me obviously.

catflap, the link below is your post to me basically stating that I don't know anything about anything. the importance of Legatus now look at this link on hpc I have also mentioned this on GEI in the last month or so iirc. me learn from you ?? really..... I have told a lot of you on GEI before, you aren't looking at the full picture, you're just day traders (not all of you obviously, there are some posters who understand the geo political stuff). now look at the bottom of this next post, the bit in bold & underlined. me learning from you.....really.... :lol: edit - sorry I had to put this in the gold thread but the relevant post is now locked.

I get a lot of this in real life. People (even older ones) seem to be unable to differentiate between pessimism & realism. I have come to the conclusion that those that seem incapable of doing this, but appear reasonably intelligent or above are up to their eye balls in debt & are house owners &/or BTlers. I discussed the housing market with my doctor in 2007 stating that the market would crash after a brief discussion about the coming economic volatility. She totally disagreed with both my statements & said that house prices would continue to grow & that she had bought BTL property. She is in her late 40's I would think. Now if doctors are getting it wrong.............

Coming proof that Gold will be officially Money once again.....soon? we have discussed this a few times before. (or Silver, although this link/video states Gold) There is a nice video on that link (although mainly audio & stuff we already know) Gold - China's End Game ? (my bold) "China... A riddle wrapped in a mystery wrapped in an enigma? Not really, especially if you know your history. Fact #1: China knows all about the long term instability of make believe money - after all they invented it and have more experience with it than anyone else. (They called it "fly away" money.) Fact #2: China is the longest continuously running culture on the planet. Its historical memory is calculated in the thousands of years. Fact #3: No county suffered more profoundly in the last 100 years than China. Weakened by corruption, it was for all practical purposed torn limb from limb by the Japanese during WW II. The Nazis in Europe were timid gentlemen by comparison. In China, you have the combination of an incredibly sophisticated culture, with a long memory, that has recently been horrifically traumatized. Anyone who thinks China is just hacking around without a plan is either ignorant or just stupid (i.e. the entire US news media and political structure.) China is ENCOURAGING its citizens to buy gold. The government is even producing educational television programs on the subject. Do you think they're doing that because they can't think of anything else to do with their free time? "

the trend will be reversed imo, going upwards for all of Feb.

congratulations alive&kicking.

there are a few others like me who are also interested. It's the fiat holders who appear to be getting very angry imo. anger stage reached. an old but nice piece: clicky linky "Kondratieff Winter Survival Guide Now that the winter is upon us, how can we best navigate this most challenging cycle phase of the Kondratieff Wave? This section is dedicated to providing guidelines and insight for that very purpose. First and foremost, we must not allow fear to permeate our condition or our decisions because obsessing about our woes prevents us from making the most objective decisions for our prosperity." "We have entered the period of the cycle marked by a deflationary asset bust and slowing global GDP growth. Paper assets, including tangible assets such as homes and land, had appreciated for decades and were due to reverse course. However debt levels had risen over the past few decades to all-time highs and drove asset prices even much higher than they would have under previous cycles. Home prices in the US rose every year since the end of the Depression in the mid 1940’s through 2006, over 60 years, and thus still may slide further until an equilibrium is found. The debt wave that just recently peaked was fueled in great part by new financial alchemy of securitization through structured finance products that compounded the leverage even more. Clearly, the great de-leveraging of assets will continue into the foreseeable future and thus it is prudent to avoid making any investments of securities tied to the credit process until this de-leveraging has run its course and the global banking system is on more solid ground."

well this happened to both of us last time didn't it. I don't even know why I was banned, never got an explanation either. There are always double standards in life, this site highlights this for everyone to see. Really TPTB on this site has done us a favour tbh. They have clumsily done what we were trying to show. I was surprised by the lack of support TPTB recieved when it happened , even by posters who don't see eye to eye with us, they chose not to comment, that was very gracious imo & that's why I thanked them.
