I believe you've said $1000 was your goal. I would reevaluate that. I'm sure a lot of people will sell at $1000 and there will likely be some resistence there. But I don't see anything to keep gold from going higher at this point. --Jerry
just purchased a 24kt Gold Buff from the Mint - just over $1000 - feel the yellow stuff will continue its trip North - probably never see 500/oz Gold again - get it while you can - a year from now I will be saying we will never see $1000/oz again!!!

No one can predict when the bubble will burst & it will burst eventually. Time to cash in some gains and keep some on hand for potential future appreciation. At these levels, I've stopped buying bullion.

That era was completely artificial.
People who want to look at that situation as a gauge for our current position are fooling themselves.
This bull has got several years left in it and very strong legs as well.
Remember, world production is way down with no indicators that it's going to improve for at least a few years.
Sell if you want, nothing wrong in taking some profit, but many are still buying, including myself.
I do have a point where I intend to move roughly 1/3rd of my holdings, but we aren't anywhere near those numbers yet.
There's also the notion of what to do with those fiat dollars when the time comes.
It's a good problem to have, no complaints from me on that account.
Still, I think it would be a little short sighted to sell now or anytime in the next few years.
Unless you need the money to live on, of course.
"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." John Marnard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1920, page 235ff
We're paying for the spending of Congress since 1980. We're paying for the net deterioration of the infrastructure and institutions. We're paying for the inflation which has been artificially supressed through monetary policy. We're paying for the war in Iraq. We're paying for the trillions of dollars artificially sucked out of the economy by bankers and businessmen paid to bankrupt companies and send jobs overseas.
Next we'll be paying for the plant and equipment to make products in this country again.
We're going to be paying a heavy price for a long time.
If anything, the markets today are manipulated by the PPT. The equity markets are propped up, less Joe Hedge Fund Manager lose money in his fund, and the commodities markets are held DOWN, less Joe Six Pack sees it costs $4 at the pump. What you are seeing now is the market freeing itself from this manipulation.
Do some reading on the Weimar Inflation (On wikipedia). It will open your eyes. The dollar is falling off a cliff and tangibles are your only protection.

<< <i>Nah it's all in your mind. You know gold is "dead money", theump told us so in his blog. >>
Check out crude too. All of it is related to the falling dollar, not some silly IMF announcement.
<< <i>Ah yes... cash-in time is getting closer... Cheers, RickO >>
I guess I don't understand?
Why cash in for cheap dollars?

Everybody's selling. Nobody's buying. This is a prescription for far higher prices.

Am I missing something? I always thought lots of sellers and no buyers meant falling prices.

Usually markets peak when the last person wants in on the action. Usually everybody's buying by then.

For every seller, there must be a buyer. Otherwise there are no sellers.

I think you are confused ... if nobody was buying, the price would drop like a rock.

Gold may be doing nothing for a while....due to the impending IMF sales.
Give me more of that nothing!

Anyone want to buy some pr70 buffaloes?
To bad the gold spot does not seem to effect the premium on these.
<< <i>Anyone notice that the price of nickel is waking up again? >>
Wow!
I hadn't noticed it's up 7% today.
This is great news since this is probably the best concurrent indicator of the health of the world economy at the current time.
