as a TAX, what does that forebode for precious metals down the road?
Does this not foretell and confirm huge inflationary times coming?
And if this is true does it not affirm rising prices of precious metals?
Or, do they not affect each other?

For metals, down but then it's got to go up. QEmed is going to practially have to be a lock I'd think.

It now is? Has been for quite sometime in my eyes.
their naked shorts lined up to dump the metals regardless where the ruling went. And that's pretty much standard behavior during these end of quarter/month expiration weeks.
The last 2 weeks of June are typically toughest on PMs. In 9 out of the past 11 yrs they have been beat down weeks. But with the June beat down, usually comes a July rally.
I don't think the Health Care ruling has any particular significance to PMs longer term as they're still driven by real interest rates, confidence in fiat currencies, and debt.
But no doubt PMs will be further taxed down the road. This was going to happen regardless of today's decision. Taxes are popular....especially if Joe Six Pack doesn't buy
or own what's being taxed. Most everything being done by govts suggests rising precious metal prices...but just not in the short term as the current 10 month consolidation
rolls along.

Rich, you are quite right. Perhaps the battlelines are now impossible to overlook.

I knew it would happen.
the program's expenses. It is predicted that this Bill will add 2-3 trillion to the debt burden.

Big brother (Statists') and Banksters' wet dream and ultimate goal, no private transactions/ (see, 'no cheating'), & smart card reader (?smartphone can do this? gov't subsized) for every citizen. Yes, esp. re: health care transactions, and how many times you clock in at the Y, and how many BigMac's, smokes, etc... Don't know if I'm serious or tinfoil hat some days. Is this the US of A?
Huh? How would health care law have any impact on gold?

Another trillion dollar budget busting boondoggle should have made gold go higher.

Indeed, the war on prosperity is accelerating.
I cannot imagine many investing or hiring during a second term apart from those favored with regime largesse.

That's exactly what I think is happening. I think we have a few more months to go, if not another year.

With the court up holding "Obamatax", it once again proves that elections do matter. Our choice come November is the lessor of two evils. Vote Democratic and further socialist/marxist laws will continue to come our way by executive order. Vote Republican and we can somewhat stall the economic cliff until a true third party candidate gains power. The Republican candidate says he'll repeal "Obamatax". Not so fast my friends, he may try to tweak it, but the gavel has been swung, "Obamatax" is here to stay.
Gold will continue it's flight to true worth. The "Obamatax" won't cover the cost of the program, let alone help reduce the debt. I'm in the camp of QE to infinity. What else can we do to pay unfunded liabilities? Anyone? Answer, print money. This currency induced cost push inflation will be a foundamental pillar of the rising gold price. Another word is also stagflation, which is inflation.
The cliff is in sight, and we'll be on the edge come January 1st. What fools to think this new tax will not effect our economy. Those hardest hit will be the middle class. Do the Wall Street Protesters falsely believe this new tax will hurt the rich. Ha, the jokes on you. Large corporations and the rich currently provide and purchase health care. When the health care costs go up, they will stop employee coverage and pay the penalty (tax). It will be cheaper. The main question for the economy, will "Obamatax" generate employement??????? With an inside connection in the artficial medical device industry, they have said, if law is upheld they will go offshore. Why should they pay another 2-3% GROSS tax, when another country can provide a strong, confident low tax structure?
Those that are passive aggressive will say, this thinking is paranoid, go build a bunker, etc. I say, elections do matter.
The law states everyone must buy health insurance, or face a tax on their IRS return. 50%, I'll repeat, 50% of Americans do not pay tax, and therefore MOST if not all, DO NOT FILE A RETURN. Will the government take the penalty out of their welfare check? Think not.
Also, in OBAMATAX health care, is a 3.8% tax on investment income. The 3.8% applies to trusts, estates, sale of a principle residence. (no help for the depressed housing market here) Also, in the bill is a extra payroll tax on wages and self-employment income above 250K.
Municipal bond income is excempt from these taxes. Is the Fed tired of buying govern. bonds?
Some say this bill is the largest tax bill increase in history.
Question, the sale of PM's is ordinary income, less the cost basis, correct?

Simple. Every headline when available is being taken advantage of to the max to push gold and metal prices downward. With Thursday's OE week influences still there, the HC ruling was used as cover to conduct a whack. And when the week's OE influences were effectively over by Thursday afternoon, that evening's EU news provided just the opposite effect.
In hindsight the PTB probably knew the EU news was coming out Friday and used Thursday's HC ruling (regardless of the result....it wouldn't have mattered) to hit the metals one more time. It's all about timing and fleecing.
