Yes, visualizing toilet paper is quite easy.
Ot, but pretty important (even traders hate The Bernank):
04-27 13:32: Talk in the Pit that Fed's Bernanke's asked for question submissions 2 days in advance to be vetted for the Press Conference
Gee, where did all the topcalling, douchebag trolls go?
In the corner with smaller versions of Turd hats which are embossed with "Top Calling Douche Bag".
Hey Turd, you called it exactly right! Im not some brown noser, just giving credit where its due.
another carnival barker chirps in.
Yer mom's here?
Nope. Turd's is, and she's you.

get a life cock sucker
Hey Billy, where's your pal Dangertime?
He's getting reamed in the ass.
He's down below writing nasty little snarky notes.
Aww, now he changed his avatar. What's wrong? New registration closed?
Baking rubber biscuits with your mom in Lubbock today.
Sounds more like you're getting your fudge packed, honestly.
"long juan" will be back next week as the "silver fudge packer".
Hey william the bastard, get a clue. No one likes you, and no one cares what you think. Kill yourself.
lol here's one of those topcallingtrolls right here, and boy is she pissed
so long Juanita, we barely knew ye
Hey I am the topcallingtroll. trademarked and registered. Illegal copies will be pursued by legal means. However if you look at my comments I called the top and just this morning I called the bottom. And right after I heard the FOMC statement I said cover your fucking shorts.
No, Dangerclown called dibs on being the bottom.
Bankruptke is giving it to him slow, hard and unlubed even as we speak.
ouch....TVIX did that to me last year.
But unlike Dangerclown with Bankruptke, you probably did not enjoy the experience.
One of life's simple joys. Sitting here and hitting refresh on occasion, just to see how many junks a dicksmack like yourself can rack up.
Don't you have a lawn to mow somewhere?
I wonder how many douchingerites got obliterated on their short silver trade?
What a fucking delta bravo...
douchingerites got obliterated
bwahahaha
crickets over there hahaa a guy could probably get rich taking the other side of the ticker consensus
Creed, you should know that there is in no way a "consensus" over in the MarketGulag, only the capricious and rigidly enforced dogma of Herr Oberststalagfuhrer, aka King Karl I. All dissenting opinions, no matter how civil, well-argued or logically defended, are summarily purged as heresy, most of all ALL talk of that most hated by King Karl of all metals, gold.
And just for your insolence to the Great King, I BAN YOU!!!!!
If they listened to my post to cover their shorts right after the FOMC essentially said to go long precious metals then not too many!
Is that Blythe humping your leg?
+1 there tf
It's a top! Sell now or be priced in forever!
</kidding>
hey turd i finally had a chance to view your apr23 vid on reprecht and master...how did you get that so nail down man...
can't wait for your new blog
we are still around. I did call the top and called the bottom if you check out my comments today and the last week. Maybe I should specialize in bottoms.
get used to the nay sayer majority turd as im sure you prolly already have
give ya props for sticking to your guns and providing the math and analysis to back up your beliefs, a good practice i recommend for anyone regardless of who's side of the argument they side with.
keep up the good work!
Stalin used to do this all the time.
Also he used to kill the guys with inconvenient questions. Maybe Ben will do this next time. We are getting there.
It was more like people with inconvenient questions would be swallowed by the earth. You would never see them again. No bodies to be found. No traces that they ever existed. They would even be erased from pictures with Stalin. Nice photoshopping back in the day!
....Banzai's grand dad????
Where are all the putz' with SLV puts?????
Days like today make Hugh VERY excited ;-)
(_(_)========D--- - - ---- - - -
JPM $45.61 SLV $48, so much for parity
I think you just gave "Dangertime" a facial.
free bukakke for all silver bears!
It'll have to be free, as they are all filing for bankruptcy as we speak.
I can only assume Ben is long Gold.
DavidC
He doesnt understand Gold...
Would Ron Paul frontrun his nomination?
Ben's bosses surely are.
OT, but the other day you mentioned something about China hearting miners over toilet paper and I replied `and why the fuck not, eh`; prescient?
Oh Lundin, the Canucks hardly knew ye
try netdania
This is so predictable even I can do it. Options expiration = Monkey hammer, next day = blastoff like bat out of hell. I need my cash or I would have bought yesterday's mindlessly predictable dip (and I don't mean I would buy Ben).
He could work as your gardener, Ms Creant. Just don't leave him alone with a printer - that will end badly...
I was using Proshares 2X inverse ETFs to short the market back in the fall of 2008. It worked perfectly until the monthly OpEx when the ETFs got hammered, even though the EFTs I was shorting continued to lose. Even though my timing was perfect and I exited my position on 3/9/09 and the market had declined considerably, I only broke even.
I GUESS MONKEYHAMMERING GOLD AND SILVER WITH OPEX DOESN'T WORK SO WELL, DOES IT, KIDS??
Time to cue up Flight Of The Bumblebees.

As a thick dense swarm swirls around the chairman he proclaims "I can stop this in 15 minutes".
*[Sorry to hear about your home. I hope you're doing well]
1500 is the new 250.
+1 Or the new 150
An ounce of gold used to cost $20. Now it's $1500. If you're making $20/hr, you're really only making $0.26/hr.
Except it was tough to find jobs paying 20 bucks an hour a century ago. Only the savers get creamed, the people who blow all their money and go in debt don't give a shit, except their salaries inflate slower than prices.
Reason?
Is this due to some mass psychic precognition of the results of Bernanke's press conference which is about to begin?
inflation expectation based on available evidence...and yes...it's the new flight to safety.
Silver is getting harder to come by. I can't find a place (even Tulving, Kitco) that has the 1-oz .999 bars that i bought just last year. Sure, you can get larger bars, but try finding 1oz bars.
When silver becomes really, really scarce, people will flock to gold. By then, your oz's of silver will be worth 1/2 oz of gold. Two-to-one ratio?
I guess I'll hold until the excrement hits the rotating wind device, then I'll trade for farmland - with a chicken-coop. I'll eat fajitas till I'm dead.
Yes, I already have the lead and delivery devices, food for 3 months, gotta get water and T.P., or use FRN's, after bleaching them.
Apmex was crying about how their 'lock in your prices now we'll buy your silver and gold' mass Email did not result in hardly any selling....oh well JPM yer fuked.
ya, I didn't endure being called crazy for pulling out IRA 30 years before retirement and hiding bars in the woods, just to go sell them to fucking APMEX for a $3 Bernank Buck premium! how about send out a free rifle with 500 rounds for every 5 oz bar I send you?
lol, that's a deal I'd take.
+ 1522 for Vonnegut reference.
Those looking for eagles can go to www. silvergoldbull.com They still have the monster box of 500's listed in stock.
Maples, pandas and rabbits too.
Great service so far here in Canuckland.
Why are you waiting to get farmland? It's only getting harder to come by every day with the Bernank printing to eternity and perpetual QE. QE 3 not coming? what's this QE 2.1 and the versions keep improving.
Get farmland outside the US:
http://thorssoncapital.weebly.com/
No it's not.
And I really suggest you not debate me on the topic, not because I'm smarter than you, but because I'm on top of it.
There's an interesting confluence of events here, where real estate (and yes, agricultural land) has gotten smacked down (because a good chunk of it had been bid up on expectations of zoning changes and development pre-2008), and farmers' kids do not want to farm (and farmers are old).
The big boys are not regrouping for large scale purchases right now, because they're getting quite nice yields on what they have (in most cases, absent weather catastrophes).
People should take the headline clips of skyrocketing agricultural land in the U.S. and wipe their asses with them.
If you're a farmer, and your crop(s) are money makers, this is a great time to buy, as the bust in real estate along with the demographics are pushing a lot of land on the market at very attractive prices per acre.
This is completely and totally the opposite of what I see here in rice/cotton country (Arkansas). We're getting big time money (wallstreet, et al) coming in trying to buy everything... all the big farmers are consolidating and purchasing more land... we've had nominal price appreciation of at least 50% in the last 3-5 years... these lands stay in families for decades and any chance to purchase adjacent property is always exercised.
Like all real estate, I strongly suspect demand is a local phenomenon...
heh, so it's "LocationLocationLocation"?
We Arkies know rice.
http://www.arkansasricefarmers.org/arkansas-rice-facts/
And we also know how to keep the ducks away from the leftovers ;)
My Saiga 12 does the trick!
You got a plug in that clip son?
Plug? Whassat?
I don't know. Choke tube?
I recently picked up a few rounds from a local pawn shop. They sold it to me at spot. It wasn't much but I'm happy because I added to the collection and didn't pay shipping. Just a suggestion for you.
Only 3 months?
From MaxKeiser.com on why silver may be becoming a rare and precious metal, it's being increasingly locked up in electronics. In 2003 12-13% of silver in electronics, now 45%!

Not if you've provided the questions, know which ones are going to be answered, and how...
DavidC
Reason Bloomberg states Fomc states QE til at least June Plus more of the same . Ben will explain why later .
Seems Gartman likes watching those bears, with his the "Bernank" slip on CNBC.
Even Ms Lee picked up on it ....
Pretty soon theyll all be saying 'The Bernank' and 'JP Morgue' all the time on CNBC....I know those little pumpmonkeys are always at Zerohedge.
+++ LOL
I bet Pisani won't. He'll swallow his tongue on live TV first.
Larry Kudlow said 'the Bernank' a few weeks ago, I heard him.
He may be playing a public game to keep his job, but he seems too smart not to read the writing on the ZH wall.
Luckily for him, the PalinRomneyTrump Extravaganza reality show is starting up.
Kudlow is a mass of contradictions. He's difficult to watch but he does have a good cross-section of guests on (excepting Don Luskin who is a pompous prick). Kudzu wants no corporate taxes, drill for oil regardless of any consequences whatsoever, a gold standard, and hates The Bernanke. Go figger.
Yep DXY at 73.58, how low can it go today?
Theoretically? I guess \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}\frac{1}{x}=0
(that's nerdese for zero)
Same old stuff. Options expiry yesterday and look at the 10% dip in silver prior to it. Then magically the market comes back and now gold is at the highest point ever.I don't need to tell you to BTFD.
Next Options expiration is 28 days away. They're writing silver contracts prior to opex (1-2 days before) to stop their derivatives bubble exploding. Especially JPM with its huge silver derivatives positions.
It will probably rally till then and then there'll be another huge 10% selloff.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
wow...I figured the bernank just said something because silver went up about .90 cents
hahaha
XRB looks like it wants to launch like a freakin rocket.
Genocidal Ben. When will the pathetic docile U.S. peasantry say "no more!"?
Largest army in the world. Home owners right to bear arms. And yet, they are being robbed blind by a Jewish cabal with no resistance...
.... is this realty a sick joke or what?
Pretty much a sick joke. But remember this is satans jewish kingdom.
More fluoride pleaze?
Or maybe some other kind of chemical agent voluntarily consumed and never questioned that makes the populus exhibit cringing submissiveness.
Invisible and unexplainable.
Everybody, remember: do not feed the trolls. And we all know who they are.
He is going to miss Real Madrid v Barcelona.
I can't believe anyone would be that dumb.
2-0 Barca, great goals by Messie.
Silver is tearing upwards as well--$46.91 now.
Meanwhile, Dangertime is being hauled in by the IRS for tax evasion.
$47.07 on my screen right now.
Shhhh. tmose is still buying. See he missed silver's whole run being in gold as he is.
You're pretty strung out. Everyone who reads anything I have written knows that I have been 95% in silver for ages.
But then, it must be hard to read with all that ape jizz in your eyes.
Fuu has better taste than that.
They are going to have a rough time tracking him down in his mobile home...err I mean Porsche...
Still haven't found which countries do not tax capital gains huh?
lol, now you want me to tell you which country your cover story has you living in?
Must be tough having to wear a diaper, with the floppy, torn anus of yours.
No one cares about your fictional trades.

You'll have a dip buying opportunity for the next six weeks as this pig gets roasted.
Where are Aka and Tmosely? The idiots who kept pumping this thing and said I was stupid for(pretending to be) buying puts?

Forgiven, the peak is in for this run. We will see $50 again but not likely for another year. You still have time to sell and restock with even more this summer.

Not even close bud. I've been(pretending to be) scaling in and got some more(imaginaries) on the gap up this morning. Now it's nothing but a green ride to the 30's.
But of course, now you will not believe me even tho I've said(SAID) I've been doubling down every day for the last five business days.

No way am I covering yet.....
Got some more (imagi-)puts at the open, 33, 37's and 40's for October.
It will still be a green ride to the 30's. This is just the first green....

I would love to stay and play with you bagholders, but I have a date with a(nother imaginary)Porsche.
Remember, the low won't be hit for six weeks, so it's still not too late to get out.
See you in a few hours.

Nice work, eisely !!
I am almost going to miss Dangerclown after he inevitably slinks away in trollshame, like all the other PM-bashing shills for the financial establishment before him. Almost.
Your "only $5 to dig out of the ground" epic rants put MethMan in a fetal position weep.
Bend over, Dangerbitch.
You don't have to even ask Dangerclown that much.
It's automatic with him.
A little Gold up the behind for Ben's afternoon bum blast.
Don't sully real money like that!
Use FRNs to wipe your ass, instead. They're far cheaper. Thanks to The Federal Reserve Paper Pulp & Linen Company.
Replace ZIM Dollars with US Dollars

Was there a yesterday?
Love watching Silver...crazy move up..holy batshit....well I have a 1525 stop on gold...ouch....still seems like a bulltrap....costly though.....
Just been looking at the daily Dow - up over 1,000 points since the 16th of March (Fukushima, I guess that's gone away now) and about 550 points since 18th of April (S&P's 'negative' stance on the USA).
Or 100 points and 55 points on the S&P.
DavidC
I waited too long to buy a gold option.....I was expecting more weakness into today. Guess I will have to wait for another top calling troll day.
Silver $47 plus: Blythe is looking at her Turd Ferguson pic and rubbing her knees together.
It's the hat. Women just love a man in a cowboy hat. :)
$47/oz silver should be our floor now. Hopefully we've gotten rid of all the weak hands at the table.
Exactly...a brief shaking of the tree over the last couple days most likely dislodged 60% of the weaker hands. We'll need to repeat this exercise again next month to get rid of the other 40%.
Hopefully, within six months, we'll have a full-on decoupling and won't have to deal with SLV's bullshit anymore.
The question that must be titillating the PM bugs is : how will the Ag to Au ratio vary all through the coming period. And what effect will the QE or not QE enigma have on this ratio and its evolution relative to other assets. Oh, if only I were Nostradamus...I could have any woman in my bed! Well, we all have our sense of priorities even when we are happy, the glass half filled or half empty...what a horrible human quandary!
When silver showed support at the 9-day, I bought more. RoboTrader should be proud of me because that's straight from the IBD handbook. Where are you, Robo?
It becomes more clear every day: these guys are desperate, trapped and out of ideas. Everyone holds their breath for the Fed? The Fed's got NOTHING but the printing press. The only thing getting tight over there is their sphincters.
Exactly, the FED's got nothin. However China has $2 trillion, (really meaning their entire $3 trillion) of UST debt stuffed in a cannon and about to fire it off.
What about the Fed making the banks buy back the Bonds, with fiat printed by and funnelled from The Bernank, and thus the Banks being viewed as wrapping themselves in the flag and being All American good rapists ?
I wonder whom the market will be once the Chinese start selling is my rhetorical question
From what I've read, China has adjusted their maturities so far to the short end, they won't have to sell (2-3 yr. avg., I believe). All they have to do is stop rolling the proceeds. Which, since the US Treasury has also moved to the short end (ZIRP FTW!), it sets up some interesting financial gymnastics later over the next year or so.
Turbo Timmah and Benron are going to be busy boys. Well, at least until the IMF "bails" them out.
the minutes prior to the "live porno" are going to allow all the insider action to show itself. Metals are ramping now
Snagged some ABX today at $50.28 but punked out on SLW, which popped so fast my head was spinning.
fuck me, and I was just checking call options on SLW yesterday...didn't pull the trigger
I was about to shout gold is now leading silver, then I saw the big figure in silver...you can't keep these babies down...now junk me you imbeciles!!!
We need to form a commission to investigate why gold prices are so high. I think it's speculators personally.
naa its most likely those nuts who were against the health-care bill.
Either or...., they are both like AL-KITA!
Simply more confirmation of a strong dollar policy
Yes We Con!
Even when silver was taking a bit of a hit, gold was holding above 1500...what a beaut!
thanks Ben
Now where did DangerMathTimeMan go?
No doubt cowering in some dark little corner...
Football team probably stuffed him in a locker beside Robo.
I'm right here. Wondering why if the dollar makes a 3 year low, gold and the S&P are making new highs, yet silver isn't.
$47.25 up $1.65 BITCH!!
Sucks to be wrong huh?
Wut wuoh. Silver's $47.59. Looks like you lose, and tmosley wins.
Just like I told you.
Now you are stuck paying US and New York taxes on all that silver you sold. You'll never be able to get back the same number of oz again.
lol
Hey i called both the top and bottom this time. Check out my morning comments. If i had gone to the shitter i would have missed it. I am just about confident enough to start playing options again.
Your my hero Dangertime. Teach me how to trade please... PLEASE!!!
"Silver to low $30's over the next six weeks. The real pain is still yet to come!"

lol, nice quote.
I printed his quote out and put it in a picture frame to hang on my wall so I can cherish it forever.
Dangertime is up there with the greats like Nostradamus and that Heaven's Gate cult who predicted the world would end when the Hale Bopp Comet passed by our planet.
The Heaven's Gaters were each found with a roll of quarters in their pockets. Probably not 90 percenters, though.
