Vedantafxtrader Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 this current climate does seem to be showing posters for their true moral worth doesn't it. just to clarify I am not rich in monetary worth, but I am rich in love. 2 fantastic children & a fantastic wife. It doesn't get any better than that imo. Well said. Having money in my experience does not make you any happier unless you have genuine love and devotion to yourself and your environment. You can still have love and devotion without money or with money...Infact I will go as far to say that having money if you are not right in yourself will make you more unhappy and can be a recipe for disaster as the number of insatiable desires increases through the contact and clinging to outside objects. These short term pleasures can never be fulfilled as they are in their nature fleeting. Money allows you to "chase" them more. So before you become rich make sure you have happiness first that is not dependent on material and outer objects, then your experiences will not be a hindrance but dynamic and exciting. Like the wisdom from the Geeta which says the above well: "True happiness, born out of inner purification, is that which is like poison at first but in the end like nectar...False happiness, arising from the union of the senses with their objects si that which is first like nectar but in the end like poison" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G0ldfinger Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Good luck, Dollar friends! http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...d6qHs&pos=6 Chinese Central Banker Sees Weaker Dollar, Limit on Demand for Treasuries Chinese Central Banker Sees Limit to Nations’ Treasury Purchases Dec. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Chinese central banker Zhu Min said that the U.S. can’t expect to fund all of its deficit by selling Treasuries to other nations and will have to issue more currency, making further weakening of the dollar “inevitable.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedantafxtrader Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Good luck, Dollar friends! http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...d6qHs&pos=6 Chinese Central Banker Sees Weaker Dollar, Limit on Demand for Treasuries I m skeptical of the USD longterm, but I m also skeptical that it will fall off a cliff in the medium term. I have been watching and documenting on here my thoughts on the USD...The confirmational bias is for one to look at arguments that only support their thesis. We are all guilty. I m trying to look at all reasons why the USD will fall and why it will rise. This chart shows volume at every price level. It is very interesting to note that the highest volume in ten years has been in the last few weeks, on the buy side I might add for USD. There has been large buying, which is showing up in this fast pop up in the USD. As I have said before this accumulation started in August and has gathered pace since that time. I have no idea how long it will last. However, how anyone can deny that the USD is being bought in huge amounts at the moment is well in denial.

drbubb Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 "Houston, we have a problem" (Rocket headed down - with volume) LOL WEAK LEADERS, Little Following (so far) from Canadian venture stocks (CDNX) Gold and Gold shares look very weak. Look at the heavy volume on those red candles (from yesterday) down into & thru the Bolly Bands Updates : GLD : GDX : CDNX : GDXJ : advfn-charts Those sorts of heavy fall normally continue. The falls have dragged the Juniors down - GDXJ is 16% off its top* (more than Gold.) But CDNX is mostly unscathed so far, only about 3-4% off its top. == == *this is consistent with another pattern - new indices often get launched near tops in those indices. (I can remember some of the FOPPs saying that the new Gold Junior index would help Gold Juniors. In fact, it helped some holders to unload near the top.)

jerpy Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 We havent seen THE rally yet. But The Rally, may come after The Correction. Dr Bubb do you see the rally after the correction as being temporary then? If Gold gets near $1,000 would we not expect to see more Chineese buying for instance to support it?

jerpy Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Sat on hands since it went above $1,000 personally, just thought a return to that level-ish would be considered a good pullback.

drbubb Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 C'mon Dr B, you must be used to it having already been confirmed as a failed property speculator Hmm. Some "failure" ! This week, we sold one of our "mistakes" at a 42% uplift to what we paid in 2007, setting a new record for 2009 at our estate. The whole Tung Ching market is buzzing about it this week. The buyer was a mainland Chinese who wanted our trophy view: The Bridge to Macau will show up in the right hand side view within 6-7 years The research mentions that the overall principle for future development of Zhongshan is to change from edge to junction, from isolated point to transfer station. With the speedy construction of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and Shenzhen-Zhongshan Passage, Zhongshan will become the nodes and its location will be greatly changed and upgraded; with further joints of highways and railways to Guangzhou and Zhuhai, Zhongshan will be unified with Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Zhuhai, Foshan, Macau and Jiangmen. The construction of the bridge will help Zhongshan improve the intercity transportation, enhance the industrial transformation and upgrading, promote the city image as well as establish and integrate Zhuhai-Zhongshan-Jiangmen economic circle to increase the competitiveness of Zhongshan. At the same time, southern part of Zhongshan will also enjoy the direct benefits and investment opportunities as a major vertical thoroughfare will connect this area after the completion of the bridge. A high-speed land route in the Pearl River Delta will be formed with the completion of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway, and the west part of PRD will form a living circle within 3-hour transportation with Hong Kong as the center. What’s more, with the completion of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, Shenzhen-Zhongshan Passage, Guangzhou-Zhuhai light railway and Taiyuan-Macau Expressway, Zhongshan will become an important transportation and logistics center in the west part of PRD. /see: http://deltabridges.com/news/zhongshan-new...owards-junction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting how we have been left with our very nice old core of reasonable balanced posters here. my guess at $1050 for end 2009 is looking pretty good I have to say. Some of physical metal holders are also reasonable balanced imo. as regards 24knews, well yes I have to say that backfired terribly & I should probably use the egg on the face pic for swampy & myself. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally don't feel you should worry about those that goad you, since your calls have always looked more right than wrong; long may that continue, as sharing your calls to enlighten others deserves rewards.
