Come on guys wake up :D

 

I can hear the "control room" now.

 

Controller: Fred, you've pressed the wrong bl**dy button again. You should have pressed the DOWN button.

 

Fred: But I haven't pressed a button Sir !

 

Controller: Oh hell, it must be those bl**dy Chinese.

 

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

I should add: Ooooohhh, that's fun. The Yen just suddenly started up REALLY fast against NZ$, EUR, US$ and GBP.

 

This is looking like so much fun right now.

 

In a "watching a nuclear explosion knowing many people are being killed" type of way :o

 

Edited to add:

 

This is bizarre. I've just checked google news to see what just hit the fan, and they all suggest everything is great and the Yen should fall :blink:

So why is it shooting up ?!

WOW !!!!

 

Japan incoming finmin Fujii: strong yen has merits

 

TOKYO, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Incoming Finance Minister Hirohisa Fujii said on Wednesday a strong yen has merits for Japan's economy, saying current forex moves are not rapid.

 

He also said he opposed intervention in the currency market if rates moves were gradual.

 

To put it mildly, that's a change of policy !!!!

Just had a quick look at hpc....surprised to see so many new threads about gold...a few examples "Is gold money?", Where can I get Gold coins?", "Gold price about to be manipulated", etc, etc...

 

Maybe they are finaly 'getting' it?

 

History is unfolding in front of our eyes - we live in interesting times!

My former pal Bob Hoye has a new missive published on 321gold, fyi:

 

COT data and gold -- Chartworks

 

Gold – COT Data Warns it is Time to be Wary

 

The Commitment of Traders data (COT) is compiled each Tuesday for release on Friday.

It reports the total number of long and short positions of futures contracts held by

commercials, non-commercials and the percentages held by the largest 4 & 8 traders. For

the past ten years the commitments of speculators (non-commercials) have been in a

rising trend together with the price while the commercials have made a long series of new

lows (i.e. net short). This week made all-time extreme reading in each. The data series is

only available back to 1986 so we are precluded from analyzing the two biggest bull

markets; 1971 to 1974, $35 to $196 and 1976 to 1980, $103 to $875. However, the

findings of this study suggest that whatever upside action occurs in the next few

weeks should be followed by a test of the breakout.

LMAO! :lol:

 

EDIT: He might be right in the end (against my own expectations). Give it some time, maybe you abandoned him too early. ;)

This is critical. 23 years might not be enough to draw such a conclusion. All these years, gold has been suppressed by the 'Cartel'. Maybe it is breaking free now.

I think the new government are going to support a strong Yen and the Japanese consumer. More bad news for exporters.

 

Just about hitting the 89 handle now. :rolleyes:

Yes, he prolly will be. I am reminded of the expression, "You can be right, but you can be right too soon."

 

I hope I was right, just too soon. ;)

With Hoye... and Bubb, I still think whiplash in the markets is likely soon. Hence my desire to swap silver for gold at 50. Just want to see one more spending spree push up the market first.

Yes, and that could be quite significant.

Does it mean the Japanese are now willing to let the US$ fall without trying to keep the Yen following it into 'valuelessness' !

 

Could be yet another nail in the US$ coffin.

 

Hmm, wouldn't it be fun if they also started buying gold :D

I guess some country has to consume the stuff all the others are producing. Could be Japan's turn to spend its wealth.

I have noticed some of your posts on HPC - you are doing good work refuting some of the nonsense that is posted there. I do worry that some of the posters seem to be deliberately trying to frighten newbies into not acquiring PMs. These posters are initially plausible but later their purpose becomes clear - to use any argument, however ridiculous, to convince waverers that PMs would be confiscated/be worthless/in a bubble etc etc.

 

I must confess, I am curious as to why some posters seem obsessed with trying to dissuade others from buying PMs. Generally it is in the interests of central banks to take this position not ordinary people......Hmmm.....
