What is the point of using charts when the markets are rigged? Good point - except that people still do. In other words, if enough people do the same thing at the same time because of a trigger, whatever that trigger may be, best to follow the herd. Of course TPTB will ensure that there are times when what looks like a trigger turns out to be a dud but - by now- no-one should be unaware of how rigged and manipulated the markets are and accept that this is how it is nowadays..

Of course there are different ways of reaching this new ratio. (1) The price of gold but not silver could collapse (2) The price of silver could rise whilst gold remained static (3) Both could rise but silver at a much faster pace than gold. I presume Sprott is an adherent of the 3rd scenario.

Don't worry, I have just sold some more gold and silver so the price should start to rise nicely now!

Exactly - because its governments that control the markets nowadays. They want equity prices to rise and bullion to fall. Hey presto! Ignore logic and rationality. Just go with the trend!

So when will investors be prepared to test the waters again. My guess, 1550.

How refreshing to read posts on an investment issue without reference to aliens, earthquakes or end-of-the-world scenarios!

I am trying to find a chart which shows Macd over a longish time frame. Where did you get this one from, please?

I thought equities markets were rising because of inflationary pressures, therefore I cannot understand why gold is falling?

And if it continues to fall people who went back in December will lose. Why try and second-guess the market? I am a swing trader and will wait until I have a buy signal before re-entry.

If one applies the basic theory to gold - that it acts as a hedge against inflation - it follows that if we enter a period of deflation, the price should fall. I think this poses a real risk to gold investors (long) with one caveat. If the stock market falls signfiicantly, many investors may turn to gold as the safer of the2 alternatives - or not?

Can you see BV selling a stake to the son of BM. I can't.

<<So I am genuinely sorry, and can only wish you the best, if the tomfoolery that passes for "gold analysis" on the web makes you view this fantastic news as part of the cabal's grand plan.>> Well put, Sir! A successful business can ignore the prattle of bigots and conspiracy theorists.

No ... but it seems to be par for the course on internet sites. I highlight it whenever I can but most people are complacent and see nothing wrong.

Schaublin, your pride in your beliefs do you justice. I am happy to oblige.
