    I wouldn't say that is down in flames.

    i always wondered why people watch gold on a daily basis.

    buy a little here and there. squirrel it away. allow it to make up
    a small percentage of your wealth. 5-20%.

    watch the price on a seasonly basis.. maybe look every few months.

    when you have a need for money, pay closer attention.

    not very sexy but it sure makes me feel comfortable knowing
    i have an asset i can sell that always has value.

    Not yet. In the thread last night, I figured out how this works with you guys. A gold god sends out directives from on high, sort of like a mullah insuing a fatwah, to sell, and everyone does so. The price falls, everyone thinks they predicted things right when all it was was a self-fulfilling prophecy, that worked. When the new fatwah is declared to buy, the devoted followers will do that, and the price will rise.

    Isn't that easy? Just sign-up for the mullah's newsletter or emails, and you're jake. Or should I say, you're al-Jake.

  • This was expected. Just the usual manipulation. It generally happens around this time of year and then we take another step up the ladder again. Three steps forward and two steps back. That's just the nature of the beast.

    I think we have a solid floor around $720. Nothing to worry about and a brief buying opportunity.

    We'll still see close to $800 by mid December.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    fc is quite correct.... unless your business is trading in the gold market (wow - nerves of steel and iron stomach), it is not a 'daily' thing. Cheers, RickO

    good! I need to finish my gold page!!!!
  • Yep. This is it. Gold will drop for the forseeable future. We will be buying gold for $12 an ounce soon due to the rising US dollar buoyed by the soon to arrive BOOM in manufacturing and honest politics and a return to fiscal responsibility. The emerging Asians will soon be clamoring to deposit funds in US savings accounts.

    I see gold dropping to new lows. Even below $20 an ounce.

    It is the end of gold.

  • Oh - sarcasm.

    You do it quite well.

    Nothing goes straight up without occasional consolidations or profit-taking. I believe such occasional pauses are healthy for a long-term bull market. I'd be worried about something truly going straight up.

  • I certainly agree with what's happening with gold - needs a little rest before heading North again - Asians will start buying again (seasonal)and watch the price soar - like someone said - good buying opportunity if you missed out - the ingredients for a perfect storm are in place and this correction is only a very slight weakening in a powerful front ie bull market.

    Except the person posting the link to the article [me] sold before reading the article, so the entire premise of the above is total BS. Several other people posting to my thread also said they sold before reading about the sell signal, so again I am calling total BS on the above comments.
    thread last night

    I don't know why you contribute to these gold threads. You have no money in gold, no guts to short it, and generally make comments with zero information content, and in the above comments, out right falsehoods.

    The price of gold is relevant to the coin forum. There are plenty of coin collectors that are interested, if for nothing else because the U. S. mint may change their prices. Many of the common date generic gold coins track the price of bullion closely. They are quite a few of some of the more extreme gold types on the forum as well. Do you write because of ego? Boredom? A long running petty feud that I missed? Something else?

    Nachbar appears to be a follower rather than a leader. I'd be interested in knowing when he formally came out to recommend gold. Coin dealer Maurice Rosen was recommending it as early as 2001/2002. And Nachbar's recommendation that heirs trade grandpa's "unwanted" coins into "gold" as a hedge is sort of odd. For one, this will still trigger a taxable event if there is one. No one is escaping the tax hangman by accepting $50 1 oz. gold coins rather than check/cash. So just get the cash and then decide when and how much gold you want to buy down the road. The gold will still be there if you really want it.

    Yes, gold is down 3% and completely in flames. Sell it all and hope you can get equivalent value in fluffernutters.....at least those you can eat!

    Because I'm allowed to. It's the free speech thingy, remember? You can't stifle my comments just because they touch a nerve of yours. And looking again at the posts to this threads, you lied. Everyone mentions someone they read or heard from to make their decision. You do it in a vacuum, eh? Calling b.s. on you, dude. It's a concerted strategy that succeeds because everyone acts in concert and at the direction and behest of others. Just because you don't like your little act being exposed for what it is, doesn't give you the right to tell me not to comment.

    Certainly, you have a right to post. I will leave it to the readers to decide who is full of BS. The readers can read the other thread and see if I have any agenda. I believe that I have, time after time, posted in service of new collectors, and novice would-be investors. I will continue to do so. If you see that as some kind of scheme or act, you are entitled to that opinion, but I believe that the majority of readers do not share that opinion. I have nothing to sell here, and always caution that folks need to do their own due diligence and research before investing money, before making up their own minds. I have stated time after time, that the average collector is best off ignoring the short term fluctuations, and buying and selling in a measured manner, getting an average price over a long period of time. I probably have written that 50 times in my time on this board.

    Others are always welcome to other opinions. There is a buyer for every seller after all, or there is no transaction. That said, pointless bickering, questioning people's motives have some entertainment value, but in the long run only produce heat, no light. So with that in mind, I apologize if I upset you with my comments and ask for a truce. Enjoy your day.

    Gold (Unc generic $20 Double Eagles) could be obtained for right over $300 just 4 - 5 years ago.

    That's when I bought and am I glad I did. A slight "speed Bump" doesn't worry me at all.

    Gold is doing fine BUT there is a LOT of it. The US Mint declared their stockpile of SILVER Officially "depleted"/ as is "run out of", just around that very same time frame. THEN was the Time to buy Silver and because Silver is depleted and MUST be obtained from outside sources, I think it will go higher still.

    Those that bought, 4 years ago, are sitting pretty .... ON BOTH COUNTS and are quite content. image

    The price of gold is an indicator of sentiment, but the value of gold is a bit more than today's price. If you make money on hair-trigger responses to daily gold price fluctuation, you're a better man than I.image

    Alas, if buying gold could only keep our politicians and banks from screwing the rest of us who actually work for a living and pay our taxes on time - now THAT would truly be worth something!

    You're a flame!

    I'd be willing to bet that gold breaks $800 before it goes below $660. That's an even spread. I'll bet up to $10K.

    Is this YOU??? image
