Bernanke Starts Talking, Gold Surges Past $1,558

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Remember when every appearance of Obama and Geithner would send the market plunging before the institution of central planning? Well, we now have a new phenomenon: every time the Chairsatan opens his mouth gold surges. Pretty simple. The second Bernanke started delivering his prepared propaganda at the Community Affairs Research Conference, whose parallel chat session appears to have been overtaken by conscientious objectors, gold surged from the mid $1540s to $1,558. A few dollars here, a few dollars there, and pretty soon we are talking real money...

Your most vocal silver bull is TOO AFRAID to answer this simple question....

Why will silver go up in value relative to the dollar?  Will it ever stop going up vs the dollar?

I bet that inspires confidence.  How many of you people are buying on this douche's word?   I hope nobody has bought too high following his advice.  He can't even answer simple questions about silver.

Clarice, are you afraid?  Afraid that you are being lead to the slaughter, just like the lambs that scream in your dreams?

You'll never overcome your fear unless you answer that one simple question.  What country do you currently reside in?

I'm trying to have a rational discussion on the real topic.  SILVER.  Who knows, maybe you will change my mind.

But you are so afraid that you have to change the subject???

 Why will silver go up in value relative to the dollar?  Will it ever stop going up vs the dollar?

akak was kind enough to answer your questions for you, and I agree.

Now, Clarice, let's see what is it going to be.  Will it be cheap shoes and a barely covered over West Virginia accent, or will you make it big by answering the simple factual question:  IN WHAT NATION DO YOU CURRENTLY RESIDE?

Silver will go to $50 soon.  Then $60, probably with a swoon or two.  Then $75, with swoons along the way.

Maybe then MUCH higher (but, silver is not my metal of expertise), with swoons along the way.  Scary ones sometimes.

...

OK Dangertime, you have my prediction. 

Now man-up and tell us you are indeed from the Gaza Strip!  Or else tell us where!

You've had those egregiously simplistic and idiotically obvious questions answered already, you MANIACAL and RABIDLY DISINGENUOUS troll.

 

 

Why will silver go up in value relative to the dollar?

Because the dollar, like every fiat currency without exception, is constantly depreciating in value due to the machinations of the kleptocratic elite who parade under the name of "central bankers".

Will it ever stop going up vs the dollar?

In the long term, no, of course not, because the dollar will never stop going down; see #1.

Is it so hard to have a simple and civil discussion about just silver?  Why the fear?

You would think silver longs would LOVE to talk about why it's going to go up.  But there is still a general fear of my questions.

Case in point: You respond by attacking me, instead of discussing the message.  You so richly deserve what you are about to get.

This MY second time answering, and I am no expert on silver.  $50 real soon.  $60 the $75 with price swoons in between.  Then, maybe, much higher, all with swoons in between.

...

OK, Dangertime.  Tell us, Mr. Gaza, where you are from...

TM,

Every talking head, and SO called investment guru's are saying PARABOLIC.

And gotta come down.

Scaring the weak hands, if it sits much longer under $50.00 a lot of longs are going to tire, and close positions.

Exactly what they want.

Dunno.  I'd rather it held around this level, or lower through the end of summer while I accumulate more, but I think dollar weakness is going to pop it over $50, and the buy stops will send it soaring from there.  Eventually, the COMEX will crack, and everything will go nuts.

Just keep buying on a scheduled weekly basis in smaller qty's and then larger qty's when there is a dip.... btfd, and in the end the winners (if you can call it that) can start new and be safe.

edit: If it doesn't dip, but consolidates (such as gold has been doing) buy that too and be in for the pops up.

I noticed it in passing but didn't file it b/c had other things to attend to at the time. So I'm sorry, I can't put the link here for you and Google isn't my friend in a 30-second lookup.

China did recently buy $3B worth of Zimbabwe platinum. I remember there was a bit of an uproar at the time.

I don't think Ron Paul is accepting campaign donations for president 2012 yet... because he only formed an exploratory committee...

But you can sign the petition urging him to run:

Ron Paul 2012

If you are progressive, conservative, libertarian or middle of the roader... it does not matter. Ron Paul's positions benefit all citizens:

  1. Return to sound money.
  2. End the Fed and fractional reserve counterfeiting.
  3. End the wars, bring the troops home.
  4. Restore constitutional liberties and the Bill of Rights
  5. End the Anti-patriot Act.
  6. Abolish Homeland Insecurity.

Oligarchy or The People
It is us or them... Incumbents = Bribed, corrupt Wall St TBTF/ Corporate Shills, Stooges and useful idiots. Congress needs to be clean slated.

Vote Out ALL Incumbents At ALL Levels
And keep voting them out until you affect change. We have seen the work of "Professional" politicians. They are worthless, clueless, pocket lining, bribed, corrupt, self serving douche bags (Did a picture of Obummer, Dodd or Bone-er just appear in your head??).

Let us vote in citizens not career whores... There are very, very few in Congress that deserve a return in 2012. Ron Paul being the best example regardless of a presidential run.

Worthless US Elite Political Class Got Us Here
This derivatives driven financial collapse was a failure of the worthless US elite political class as much as the criminality of the Wall Street TBTF zombie banks... Barry Soetoro, the long time CIA asset (bitch) and Wall Street TBTF puppet has got to go...

By the way, I presume "Bathtub" Becky will be in Omaha this weekend?  I wonder if she is  named as a benefactor in the old man's will......

Heh, that old man is infatuated with those pouty lips, oversized butt, and that pasty white, splotched chest that looks like the bottom of the bathtub in my crummy 600 sq. ft. Hollywood freeway apartment.

LOL.....

Ben has similar effect as Hillary. When Ben talks, gold goes up.

When Hillary visits a foreign ally, natural disasters strike. So far, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Indonesia got the Hillary mojo...

It won't be long and the masses will be wanting in on physical silver/gold(Speaking of America mind you, other nations already have started as many know here on ZH). I've been getting calls from folks that would have never thought about it until recently. But by the time this happens, we will all be lead down another chute to another pen of lies, deception and seduction. Nothing stops the coming storm that has been brewing since before I was born. It's all a means to an end, pieces of this jig-saw puzzle we call life. In pieces it's hard to see but once all of them fall into place the picture is there staring us right in front of the face. I suspect end of dollar soon, along with everything else we are used to. People will be begging for another hope and change when this happens and get the same result because we(generally speaking) always want the slogans,phony saviours and easy ways(not studying ourselves, half butt study or from slant view, hand-outs, easy money, ect.). All we can really do is prepare our families and prepare for our familes/loved ones the best we can for what is coming. Whether thats silver/gold, food, ammo, water(filtration, ect.), w/e. One thing I've learned is, history is always repeating itself. Nothing new under the sun. Just like everytime Ben speaks things get worse. I know what your thinking. "Worse? How are things worse? I own physical gold/silver. He talks, I gain." Because when it is all said and done this does not end well for anyone. That being said. Keep stacking!

I am not expert on PM. I just noticed that Palladium

lagging behind other PM and several days ago I bought several shares of

Palladium ETF in SwissStock exchange (symbol ZPAL).

Do you, guys, think it is a good idea?

Thanks.

Weird how silver diverged south against gold's surge today.

Any thoughts?

Two reasons.

#1:  The rise is gold has been fairly linear and measured, and therefore doesn't scream "fiat currency is collapsing"... while the rise in silver has started to look exponential lately, which screams "fiat currency is collapsing".  Therefore, the predators-that-be who rely on the suckers of the world playing their fiat, fake, fraud, fiction, fantasy, fractional-reserve ponzi game... realize they need to focus their efforts on silver.

#2:  The silver market is vastly smaller, so the predators-that-be can manipulate it much easier with a limited "investment".

I stopped buying Gold at $260/oz.  I am a bit concerned about bits of information I get alleging just who is buying Gold now.  The tin foil hat theory is that the planned one-world  currency is supposed to be backed by Gold.  I am a bit conflicted about that.  I don't want to aid and abet the banksters.  I'm going to hold what Gold I have for my estate  and focus on Argent.  I am puzzled as to why Gold investors are satisfied with the second rate price performance from Gold as compared to Silver.  It may not be just a coincidence that the price of Gold went up as Bernanke addressed the public.  The banksters have had hundreds of years to practice their deceit.
