With Gold now at an Ask of 331.60 Do you have all your Gold Coins?

An article on Gold did you buy all your Gold Coins and Bullion for the year yet? As a side note Silver is now at an ask of 4.72 Could this be the break out that causes the Coin Market to Sky-Rocket to new Highs?
Gold posted a solid gain today pushing through the $325 resistance level. Gold reached as high as $328.30 basis the February contract before easing back slightly. However, the strength in gold is very impressive. Gold may be building the momentum needed to push above the $330 resistance level. If that occurs, an explosive move into the $350 zone is possible. The gold market is at a major turning point as it is nearing a breakout. Most analysts believe that gold will be contained at $330 and it may well be for the remainder of this year. However, the trend lines are clearly pointing higher and a break out seems imminent.

Whether it occurs before the end of the month or shortly thereafter, it is appearing more likely that it will occur. With gold up more than 20% in the past 12 months, it has certainly been the most profitable investment of all. More importantly, it looks like it has the best upside potential of any investment. As Merrill Lynch and others have warned, the stock market remains in a bear mode. The stock market is one that has unreasonable risk and little potential for profits. Gold, after having made a 20 year double bottom and now in a very distinct rising trend over the past few years, is clearly the asset of choice for low risk and high upside potential.

    This is a very bullish move on gold's part. The chances of it going into the $350 level and beyond is now far stronger than it going under $300 again. I have no clue where it will be at the end of December. But it's very possible gold is in a long term bullish cycle that could last years. That's how long it will take to sort out the mess in the financial markets. Commodities are in, financial paper is out. I hope we see $345-355 gold by the FUN show. It would be a
    good shot in the arm to get things rolling again.

    I concur with Michael about picking up nice Saints (MS62-64) and nice $20 Libs (MS62-63) with good eye appeal. This past weekend I purchased 10 such pieces at a local show. Had there been more, I would have bought more.

    You are making my mouth water for MORE MORE MORE of those BEAUTIFUL SAINTS. AT the end of this year one can only hope for the 350.00 Support Level.

  • I collect now. No more gold speculation. I bought type classic pieces last year when gold was at $275 and sold them in June when it hit $325. I made a modest profit.

    Now I have just finished a basic gold type set with a '76-CC $20 NGC 55 and an ANACS XF-45 '49 no L $1. NOW it's time to get out into the Southern California sunshine and get some fresh smoggy air! The coins go in the vault until Anaheim and Long Beach-time permitting.

    I'm just not into gambling-like speculation right now. I got into a lot of trouble due to betting "back in the day" and don't need the headaches. I have steady income, albeit from VA/SocSec disability, and good prospects. Coins are for fun, meeting people, and a relatively decent place to put a few bucks away if done carefully. It's always interesting to read the different opinions here. As they say, "take what you need and leave the rest."

    Take care,
    Barney

    Well said Barney and you are so right it is for fun and we should never loose sight of that. I just happen to take it a step further as i have a great disbelief in the paper Dollar and Folks close to me that know me real well tell me that i should have lived in the 1800's and not now. I reply to them but then i would be dead and not having any fun. Take care GOD bless and have fun. image

    What's up MrKelso?

    You write the first post sounding like you are a broker or something and then you don't know what it means to short gold or buy a put?

    Are you repeating what you read/heard from some firm?

    I don't know what the bid is (probably over 331 if the ask is 331.60) but that would mean it just broke the $330 resistance.

    There was strong $340 support in 1991-1997 but dropped down to $252.20 in September 1999.

    There was a runaway market in late 1979 and early 1980 which peaked near $873 in February 1980.

    I hope it repeats soon - it will pull up other markets like SILVER!!!


    and I can sell my pre-1964 Washington quarters/1964 Kennedys - other nondescript older coins.


    As far as gold prices go $20 days have been seen - major resistance just broke - we could see $400 by years end (or $290), tomorrow and Monday 12/16 will be big to see if trend explodes and runs away or runs into a wall and gets pushed back down.

    I don't know where or when, probably earlier in the year but it was said that gold could reach $340 by years end. I also remember back in 1980, if that was the year when gold hit $850, that before gold would soar to new heights again that it would need to come down to under $300 for awhile and it has done just that. BUY! BUY! BUY! But I'm still selling at $341.

    Nope not a broker and never played the market with this Put and call thing as i don't know enough about it to take the gamble. Just a simple LONG term invester that likes to watch real money react to world events while i move along through life enjoying my collections.

    top end gold probably would be most beneficial percentage-wise, but also would be harder to move quickly when prices started falling. What goes up quick also comes down quick

    if you have lots of investment money and like holding gold coins then ->

    In the past run up several years ago most economic indicators were in a strong uptrend. Right now, the dollar is in a spiral, stocks are down and getting ready to test lows again, bonds have flattened out, inflation is still here but pooh-poohed by bogus Gov't stats,
    the housing market is slowing, unemployment is high, consumer confidence stinks, commodity prices have been rising for the past year, the world is poised for war, and the central banks have such a load to handle with other financial woes that they may be about ready to toss in the towel on the gold manipulation of the past 20 years. Yes, this looks much different than 1999!image

  • I did some profit taking after hours and will be converting that to coins. Still holding several miners for $350.
    I got in when several of the juniors were under a dollar and have several 3 baggers right now. I love gold
    stocks but they aren't for people who are disturbed by violent price swings. You pay your money and you take
    your chances.

    I was looking at the pre open and pre fix and it seemed to be $3.45 higher and swinging. I think today would be a good day to consolidate the smaller minning company stocks and buy into the big boys. Now to find out who has the best earnings.

  • MrKelso, if you're getting into the big boys make sure the ones you pick are unhedged. The hedged miners
    will be losing money as the price climbs. I have several sell orders outstanding, we'll see which way it
    plays out today.

    Thanks Scott
    I am in A temp Holding pattern right now. I am logged on to my account at the Bullion desk and am watching the bullion bounce all over the place today. Plenty of activity but to me it looks like something keeps trying to knock the price back. Have to go look at the minning stocks next.


    Picked up a few very nice MS62 1932 $10 Indians today at a real nice price.

    Happy Trading

    Bought my first $50 AGE about this time for $350, wish I knew then what I know now.
    I don't think there was a PM forum then, a little throw back.
    Any guesses where it will be 8 years from now?

    About a year and a half before this post, gold was down around $255. We had a customer who wanted to buy a million dollars worth of gold maple leafs as soon as it got down to $250. It never did, and he didn't.

    If we get hyperinflation, a $50 gold eagle might be "worth" a lot more than $1200 but may have no more spending power than today.
