China has announced a plan to reduce the dollars reserve status. The credit fuelled expansion of the last few years is unwinding. It's Spring people feel good and Governments are throwing everything and the kitchen sink at the problem. Markets never go straight down or up.

Nearly there. Can I also suggest buying pigs. Pink Gold.

Who has the ability to influence the bbc and gains from ramping gold.

Can someone explain the spikes please? from http://goldprice.org/gold-price-euros.html I'm not sure if this should go under the thread http://www.greenenergyinvestors.com/index....amp;#entry98872 Mods please move it if its in the wrong place.

Whats wrong with him?

My sample set is first time buyer properties around 100k in the North West. 2-3 bedrooms on a culdesac in a nice estate but not posh. The city centre flats and BTL flats are getting hammered. The only people I know buying those are newly divorced and want somewhere cheap, easy to keep clean and close to singles bars. London is a different world. Prices there went up far higher for longer.

Anecdotal: I've spoke to two people this week who have recently bought. All first time buyers. No one has said they are trying to sell and struggling. The price falls have attracted buyers. Another two are looking and want to buy soon. I think there will be a bounce.

It's a buying opportunity. Easier to gets more people into gold ETFs. Which keeps them in the system. How do coin dealers cope with volitility? Buying ahead will be difficult at these high levels.

They are selling below spot though. I do keep wondering who will buy gold at $1000 per ounze.

Is there a way of trading silver that avoids the VAT and the dealer fees. They are quite expensive. It put me off in December, I'd only be breaking even about now. Is it a case of buying mining stocks?

Very interesting... How would someone make money out of this? Who could do it? Is this due to a massive cash need due to bad investments or part of a money making scheme.

Power and influence certainly. A good reason not buy US treasuries? Use of the IMF to store money?

I agree with whats written but how can the ordinary person with a few thousand to spare invest wheat and oil without exposure to wall street?

IMO. The questions are. Will they want a drop in gold price? Do they now owe so much to the Governments that they do what they are told or do they now own the governments.

I think its a reverse auction. Lots of people paid to bid but didnt win. Very addictive.

Reasons to sell. http://www.financialsense.com/Market/wrapup.htm I'm not selling anything though. My back is killing and I dont fancy digging it up.
