+1 buckle your seat belts and enjoy the ride.

Gom i think you do yourself a total injustice saying that.It is because of the fact that you are not formally trained that allows you the clear vision that you have.Whilst all the techies are scratching their heads looking into their charts asking themselves how the hell did that just happen you used common sense and a clear understanding, of the fundamentals. well done

A calculated PONZI scheme in my opinion.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8295582.stm Gold price returns to fresh high There are several factors impacting on the gold price The price of gold has hit a fresh all-time high of $1,048.40 an ounce after a continued decline in the dollar kept it attractive to investors. It came a day after having pushed past the previous record of $1,033.9, which was set in March last year. Analysts said that there was still potential for prices to rise further if the dollar remained weak. However, there was caution that it may represent a price bubble rather than a sustainably higher gold price. Speculative bubble? The gold price fell back slightly later in the day, to $1,042.30 as the dollar showed some signs of recovery. FACTORS IN GOLD PRICE RISE Weak dollar Speculation Inflation risk Time of year Why prices are high and does it matter? Analysts said concern about the possibility of higher inflation in the US as its economy recovers was another factor in lowering the price of the dollar, further boosting the appeal of gold - but there was scepticism about the driving forces. "A mix of unfounded inflation fears, conspiracy theories and speculative demand looks more like the ingredients for a speculative bubble than the grounds for a sustainable increase in prices," said Julian Jessop, economist at Capital Economics. The price of gold is typically strong in the October to December period because of the higher demand for jewellery in the run-up to Christmas and the Indian festival of Diwali. Demand for gold is strong in India, and Indian communities around the world ahead of the festival of lights, which this year falls on 17 October. This is because gold jewellery is typically given as presents. Is this all we get from the MSM,swampy that jessop needs some evidence ,i mean real evidence.

THE SCORES ON THE DOORS SITTING BULLS 2 MUSICAL CHAIR GAMBLERS 0 Gold rallies to new record high on rising investment demand. NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures soared to a record high just below $1,050 an ounce Wednesday, as investment demand rose and as the U.S. dollar remained relatively weak. Holdings in the SPDR Gold Trust /quotes/comstock/13*!gld/quotes/nls/gld (GLD 102.23, -0.05, -0.05%) , the biggest exchange-traded fund backed by gold, rose for a third straight session to reach the highest level in three weeks. 'Gold has significant upside potential into 2010.' Jason Kotick, Barclays Capital In foreign-exchange dealings, the dollar rebounded slightly against the euro and the Japanese yen, but the dollar index /quotes/comstock/11j!i:dxy0 (DXY 76.46, +0.12, +0.16%) remained below the 77 mark. See Currencies. Gold for October delivery surged to an intraday high of $1,048.20 an ounce, a new record for front-month gold futures. The contract was last up $3.90, or 0.4%, at $1,042.50 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold prices, as gauged by Comex front-month futures, have risen 18% this year. Gold for December delivery, the most actively traded contract, gained $3.10, or 0.3%, to $1,042.70, a partial retracement after hitting an intraday high of $1,049.70. "Gold has significant upside potential into 2010," said Jordan Kotick, an analyst at Barclays Capital, in a note. Technical analysis indicated that "resistance currently is at $1,370; history suggests a run at $1,500." In the coming weeks, gold is likely to rise as high as $1,120 an ounce, he added. Investors piled into gold ETFs as prices have been hitting new highs. Holdings in SPDR Gold Trust rose to 1,100.51 metric tons on Tuesday, up 2.44 metric tons from a day ago. Holdings stood at the highest level since Sept. 23. Underscoring investors' interest, Credit Suisse launched on Tuesday its first physically backed gold-exchange-traded fund.

The fund invests in physical gold without using derivative instruments. /quotes/comstock/13*!gld/quotes/nls/gld GLD 102.23, -0.05, -0.05% 120100806009MMJS"The prime driver of the recent rally in the gold price ... was the weakening of the U.S. dollar," wrote analysts at Nomura International in a note to clients. There is a very strong inverse relationship between the U.S. dollar and gold prices. When the dollar falls, gold prices tend to rise. Gold's Wednesday highs topped the earlier record hit on Tuesday, when the dollar slumped on a report suggesting the end of dollar-based oil trading and as Australia hiked interest rates. Also in metals trading Wednesday, December silver futures rose 5.5 cents, or 0.3%, to $17.35 an ounce. Silver prices have rallied nearly 55% in the year to date.

"While we generally agree that in the long run physical gold beats equities, we believe Harmony Gold and Polyus Gold offer attractive buying opportunities for the next 12 months," wrote the Nomura analysts.

You lucky ,lucky bast*** why do you get the ignore button from not so nice jim and not me he trolled me on the IS--RA--EL thread and is still going i really thought he was'nt able to read so had to ask the question.To be honest i had hoped he had followed his own old avatar's advice and JUMPED WHITH THOSE OTHER FU**ERS,but not so lucky it seems.I hope this has done enough to get me the ignore button,if there is a god up there answer my prayer.

Sublime swampy enough said

Yeah because they are buying miners and gold shares.

I am a bit confused by your post fortune you say you are 100% in metals but dont think that will be enough to fully protect yourself.You then imply if i am reading it correctly that you are still in debt and wanting to live in a safe enviroment which are of a higher priority than owning metals.??

"Ownership of gold is not about lust: it is about liberty of the individual. The gold standard is not a 'game': it is the embodiment of the timeless principle 'pacta sunt servanda' (promises are made to be kept). Official hatred of gold bordering on the neurotic appears less irrational if we contemplate that gold, and gold alone, is capable of exposing the ever-present bad faith behind the promises of the powers that be." - Get Gold! I LIKED THAT

yes they did according to the video i watched where gold was being used to acquire supplies,a total breakdown in the percieved value of paper.
