For Third Year In A Row, Gold Outperfoming Stocks
Year-to-Date, the S&P 500 has just dropped back below Gold...Gold's performance year-to-date just surpassed that of the S&P 500 once again. If this remains the case into year-end, this will be the third year in a row that Gold has outperformed stocks. Looking forward, which 'asset' would you choose - Stocks with an implied volatility of 17% or Gold at 15.75% to the end of the year? Sharpe Ratio anyone? Perhaps asking your 'asset allocator' what his weighting is based on will be a worthwhile conversation - with the outperforming returns (past is not a predictor of the future - and noone knows) but lower forward risk expectations?
YTD performance across asset classes...
Or more easily visualized... the S&P 500's performance relative to Gold YTD...
and traders see more volatility in Stocks than Gold going forward...

Perhaps we should inquire with Warren?
SPX about to fall off a cliff, priced in gold

Silver
Why would anyone price anything in that relic when we have the incredible elastic dollar to use a measuring stick? /sarc
2:55pm EST WOODY, BITCHEZ
The "counterparty risk" to the gold in your gold pan is a government bullet in your brain pan.
Gold, not GLD (as the ad on the right advertises).
Correction: Bitchez**** BitcheZ!
At ZH it's bitchez!...The EZ is most important in this context.
Yes, Gold bitches.
A thousand Wall St media whores all shrieked out in terror then suddenly fell silent.
This shall not stand! Where is the Bernank?

Yeah, but you can't eat gold.
Or can you... http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://cdn.womensunitedonline.com/ci...
Gold is building a nice cup and handle on the chart prepairing for lift off.
What would the Martians think?
In b4 dig it up and then bury it in another hole.
New Buffet rule, "He who HAS the gold, rules"
And who HAD the gold will be pissed. Possession and the law - it depends on what your holding.
They would wonder why someone as valuable as Warren Buffet is not also being buried in a hole.
But it's a barbarous relic!
It is the key to global solvency, once the bankers steal enough of it.
Gold and Silver are heading up now.
Thursday, November 08, 2012 13:08:45 (IR) US Pentagon Official: Iran has fired upon and missed a predator drone; the drone never entered Iranian airspace- Spokesperson notes that the drone was 16 miles away from the Iran coast.- SourceTradeTheNews.com
Here we gooooo!!!!!
politburo hard at work I see... if the event happened at all, i suspect it was well inside Iranian air space....
Make it 4 in a row? Silver is my largest holding.
I'm asking the Zerohedge community to find little, legal and creative, ways to Go Galt. Perhaps start by saying "No" to NGOs/charities performing functions that suppliment Government functions this holday season when they call, United Way, or CFC...and buy PMs or support limited Government causes instead. If we put our minds to it, we can find many ways to undermine the beast and present the consequences of bad decisions more starkly to those who have made them.
Everytime the Patrolman's Association rings my phone I let them go through their whole spiel. Most recently the heart string was protecting kids against pedofiles. In any event, after he asked me for a donoation I said something along the following lines -
"I would certainly love to donate some of my hard earned capital to your cause, but before I do I'd like to ask a question. When do you feel your organization might actually focus on crimes against people and property instead of contstantly shaking down me and my fellow Americans for such trivial, non-violent offenses? I can certainly point you to some big fish to catch at a variety of banks and capitals throughout the country if you'd like?"
He responded to something like he understood.
So now, I have withdrawn from voting, withdrawn from paying a variety of local taxes (ones where I can literally see the fraud), give the finger to every politician I come in contact with, withdrew all funds from the market and banks, violate every silly law I can find, and document all my resisitence on the YouTube and share it for all to see. Hoepfully setting a good example of withdrawal from the system will lead others. If not, I am sure these is a nice cage with my name on it somewhere.
Hmm what is that other great performer on the year?
SILVER BITCHEZ!
fuu
I was going to say, I'm not much of a chart-reader (moo...), but isn't silver at the top of that list?
Tyler,
You criticize APPLE analysts for their earning estimates yet what youa re doing is projecting the past into the future.
Maybe it will outperform stocks over the next few years (I think that is likely) but it may still go down in nominal terms.
Uh... what?
Tyler - much respect and thanks for all that you do. My question would be given those projections why hasn't it broken out above the resistance at 1850?
Why was AAPL 22% higher a month ago?
I love the halcyon gold horizon, like all utopias...
That....and a good hit of brown acid.
Insane amount of hope and fluff built into everything leading up to QEinfinity. believe me I am not defending AAPL in fact I just posted on it in another conversation.
the chart for gold actually looks like it is building up for a big move either way. all I am saying is that given how we already know they (meaning all central banks ultimately) will have to print and print and print, then why hasn't it already moved to all time highs in nominal and relative terms? what else does it need to see?
for the record: very, very bullish on gold long term just not convinced it is heading straight up anytime soon.
Tyler -
Let's have a few pints should you ever be in Connecticut.
On me.
Boozer
All right genius. Explain to me why COrrelation is Causation.
Explain to me why Japan's balance sheet expansion during the 90's did not budge Gold. In fact in Yen terms it had a massive bear market. Japan was the second largest economy back then was it not?
Are you asking me? it gets confusing with the responses.
Was asking Tyler. You are right about it getting confusing. Sorry, should have specified.
I agree.
What a surprise, now we find out:
[Two Iranian Su-25 fighter jets fired on an unarmed U.S. Air Force Predator drone in the Persian Gulf last week, CNN has learned.
...
The Obama administration did not disclose the incident, which occurred just days before the presidential election on November 1, but three senior officials confirmed the details to CNN.]
http://security.blogs.cnn.com/2012/11/08/first-on-cnn-iranian-jets-fire-...
Obviously warning shots.
Well I hope that the drone pilot it safe and sound in his Seattle condo, and that his thumbs didn't cramp unnecessarily running evasive maneuvers.
Two Iranian Su-25 fighter jets
They must have stumbled upon that drone on their way to a "vintage warbird" air show.
And they would have caught the drone if not for the "Eat at Ahmed's" banners they drag behind them.
we few, we happy few, we band of silver holders . . .
Patience all, patience. This is not a short trade. Yes we will be scared again. But I feel confident about the outcome. :))
Right now it seems they can keep up this game 4ever. :(
The plate juggler looks great until the plates stop spinning fast enough to keep fooling gravity. Then it turns frantic.
Uh, oh. Now the unbroken plates are suddenly gathered up from their sticks, ending the show with one final bow.
Cue Ed Sullivan as the commercial runs and the guy takes the plates home with him.
The rest of us remain in our seats, wondering why the screen went black during the commercial break.
Long Topo Gigio.
