electroweak Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 If this backwardation corresponds to a kind of short squeeze (silver now is more valuable than silver in March etc) then we could be in for some ride (I hope!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G0ldfinger Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 DOUBLE POST Arbitrage Lures Gabelli to M&A, Huntington to Silver as Hedge Funds Fail http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...&refer=home Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Mario Gabelli is buying Wyeth to book a 13 percent profit from its takeover by Pfizer Inc. Managers at Cohen & Steers Inc. are scooping up closed-end funds trading at a 16 percent discount to the value of their holdings. Huntington Asset Advisors Inc. is betting the widest gap between silver and gold prices in 14 years will narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dietcolaaddict Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'm currently waiting for a dip in £ price to buy a large amount (for me anyway) more. I'm trying to be patient and learn from past mistakes of buying into strength and ignoring trends in the $/£ exchange rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpig Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Me too, are you sure we'll get a dip below the current spot price? I'm expecting the pound to fall further this week with the expected rate cut, so I'm tempted to average in a little more now. I wish I'd gone all in around £6.82 now...  I'm currently waiting for a dip in £ price to buy a large amount (for me anyway) more.

Lets see what happens tomorrow, any idea how early the rate cut is 'priced in' before Thurs 12 noon?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see what happens tomorrow, any idea how early the rate cut is 'priced in' before Thurs 12 noon?  £ dropped quite a bit on Sun/Monday after rumours of the rate cut. I would be surprised if traders weren't already taking this cut into account. I would imagine that a higher/lower cut would have an affect. The £ has gained strength throughout the week removing the early week dip - any ideas why? Probably the $ falling slightly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpig Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 It's normally a few days early if it's certain it will go one way, but I can't say I've noticed any definitive move, it's perhaps only shifted +10p/t oz in the last few days. I'm going to average in over the next few hours, it's dipped a little. Â Good thinking warpig, I may do the same.

drbubb Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I have a Goldmoney account but am now baulking at the cost involved of buying digital gold.  Looks like to buy between £6k - £60k worth I have to pay approx 4.2% (fees and spread combined) or approx 3.7% if I pay in Usd. Typically how much over spot would you pay to buy physical bars?  I still like buying GLD and maybe GBS.L and of course Gold shares  I am studying the products of our new advertiser on GEI: http://www.PreciousMetalsClub.com (see button at top) & new thread: http://www.greenenergyinvestors.com/index.php?showtopic=5873 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has stated before that he is a bull on gold in the long term. Who wouldn't be. What is the problem with being short term bearish... could be a good counter-balance to the "it is going to the moon tomorrow" view.  Also, how is calling someone who is bearish on gold a "government shill" any different from calling someone a "gold ramper" who is just trying to communicate a certain point of view?   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been saying that gold is going to £600 since it was $750, now he is saying it is going gold is going to $200, which is quite a bit more than short term bearish. Gold is just about to make a "Golden Cross" which is seen as a hugely positive thing by most who follow TA.  Just think he is changing the minds of the less well informed with his "great charts".  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
