Great thread! I'm an anesthesiologist. I was checking my anes. machine pre-op last year when I heard one of the circulating nurses talking about some unc. silver that he bought and was going to sell. Based on the conversation I thought that he might have some ASE '08 w/'07 Rev. He had never heard of them. It turns out that he had nearly 30. He went to the Balto. show with me and sold them for $16K. It sure was very fortunate for him that he chose bullion as a topic of OR conversation!

Heard today that the interest on the nat'l debt in 2015 will be $500B. That's $1500 for every American. For interest alone. If that's not a long-term recipe for gold, I don't know what is.

<< <i>There is one huge difference this time (1999-201X) from the depressions/panics/major recessions that occured from 1816-1822, 1860-1869, 1872-1896, 1907, 1920-1921, 1929-1939, 1955-1958, and 1970-1982. That is, the bankers didn't bet 10X the world's value at the poker table...all on margin. For now all is "good" because the FED/Treasury via tax payer's future pockets are paying the margin calls as they come due. This time it is very different, at least for our nation. Other nations over the millenia have had similar debt/monetary issues though I don't think any of them ever bet 10X the world's total worth at the poker table at up to 50-1 margin.
From the gold ads I see on TV I'd estimate that the buying ads are running at 3X to 4X the volume of the selling ads. And for good reason. The goal is to drain J6P of all his gold long before loftier numbers are reached.

Was the tulip bubble different from the Naz bubble? Was the Japanese equities bubble different from the US real estate bubble? Of course. What is always constant is investor behavior. Humans always react to a situation in the same manner. Bubbles arent created by loose credit. They are created by human fear and greed.

This isn't a bubble. When the FED stops printing money hand over fist and we try and get our budget in order then is the time to get out not before. The public is so in debt they can't afford to buy gold unless it's on credit. They will need to start increasing interest rates soon and lock down credit. I'm afraid the worst is yet to come and by this time in 2010 everyone will have a much clearer view of the global depression that's upon us. The party for the US is over but it will effect the rest of the world too, many countries much more than ourselves. Everyone should buy a little insurance to balance out their paper assest IMO.
They are after gold jewelery hot and heavy. This area the ads on TV want to buy (rip) off all your old gold and these places don't resell to the public.

Another sign of the bullion apocalyspe: Blanchard was advertising yesterday on the radio during the SEC championship game. "Gold is at only 40% of it's all time high (adjusted for inflation)!"
Some in the bullion biz believe that some Central Banks in countries like China and India are getting rid of dollars and buying gold on the dips. The test of that theory may occur tomorrow.

Back to the thread...
Well, I got through the entire weekend, and the brother-in-law never brought up gold coins or bullion once. We talked extensively about his investments: his two properties in Florida in which he was completely upside down and hemorrhaging cash to pay the interest-only mortgages, his mutual fund portfolio, his artwork, etc. I even baited him a little, and he did not bite. It looks like the gold coin and bullion still have some appreciation left.
My Doctor's Lunch Room discussion today was about older junkie cars, motorcycles and amputation of lower extremities, since two vascular surgeons were present. No discussion about bullion in my corner of the world.

Dr. Obama says that doctors like doing amputations because they are more lucrative than the alternatives. Of course, we all know that is not the case, but it shows you how much the guy who is running the show knows about the financing of health care and how it relates to medical decision making.
I just left the lounge where we discussed the weekend of college football, the Bowls, and the Heisman front-runners. Based solely on the conversation and how well doctors predict these things, if I could, I would be shorting Tim Tebow right now.
