Tyler Durden's picture




 

After spending a day ignoring the reality of moar money printing, it seems 'natural' non-algo forces released Gold and it is spiking after hours. The USD is fading further, stocks soaring moarer, and treasury yields tanking...

Gold on the move, doing what it should have been doing all along:

Muted?!  PaperSilver got slammed yesterday and, despite the slight recovery in paperGold, is still languishing around 2060 CentiFeRNs as I write.

I am hoping it gets Munk-y hammered down to 19 again, so my camp can back up the truck and BTFD again.

Yes, muted, compared to the gold spike after-hours today. Not talking about the monkey hammering yesterday.

No derivatives to manipulate it with... just pure supply and demand.  Bitcoin is hoovering up pent-up economic energy caused by all of the derivatives manipulations going on with precious metals and all commodities.  CORN has a record short position in it and, from every thing that I read, farmers can't make a profit at current prices.

So who says that TPTB have lost control? That they don't know what they're doing? They do seem to be successful at suppressing the POG, at least. Fixing the economy, not so much. Or maybe they're not really trying?

Once you've reached your 10-20%* of real assets in PM, unless there is a fire-sale on PM, there are other equally or more important things to invest your fiat currency:  Zero Debt, enough Cash for Bargains/Deals/Steals, a full larder.

In the meantime, as I've been saying endlessly for many months, we are and will remain... in a SIDEWAYS PM MARKET!  This is just gold bulls making noise, so they can move product or earn commissions, fees or promote their blog sites.  Which is perfectly fine (they gotta make a living too), as long as we realize that this is what's happening, and we can choose to make an informed decision of the relevance of the situation relative to our own Master plan.

*10% for conservative investors, 20% for aggressive investors, per James Rickards' advice on how much PM to hold.

If it remains a sideways market, why buy PMs? I would buy PMs if I thought they were going up, which I do.

>> *10% for conservative investors, 20% for aggressive investors

Hooo, I'm way, way over that.  Not the first time I've been a dumb ass.  I'm not under water by any means, but I'm way over prudent.

But, I've got no debt.  Got a real nice hobby farm, free and clear.  Diesel truck, cargo trailer, flat bed equipment trailer, front loader tractor, garden tractor, ditto.  Enough cash to live on for many years, ditto. 

A lot of things can be worse than being over invested in the metals.  I've taken a real ass kicking in paper profits but my life style is pleasant.

Sorry, busy typing my other reply to you.  North Florida. You are welcome to drop me a line if you want to chat about cheap acreage.

>> still gotta find a fire sale home with some acreage

They are out there, especially if you can do some fixup.  One to two years ago, in my area of North Florida, there was a massive amount of repo hobby farm stuff.  It sure looks like it's dried up a good bit, but there are always deals, even in the best of markets. 

I bought an estate/short sale just as the bank was repoing it.  I still can't believe it didn't sell as it was at land value.  The mobile was trashed but it was actually a rock solid structure (an older Homes of Merit).  2X4 walls on 16" centers, 3/4 plywood floors, 1/2 drywall, double pane windows, very good insulation.  It just needed all the plumbing fixtures, cabinetry, appliances and floor coverings replaced.  Hell, I do that even if they are still in useable condition.  Five acres are very fertile cleared land, RV pole barn with power, 300 sq ft lean to work shed off the pole barn, another 500 sq ft pole barn with a horse paddock.  All fenced and cross fenced on a nice paved state highway.  I'm five miles south of a nice small town and 14 miles outside of a mid sized town.  $58K.  I just got my first tax bill based on purchase price, $700 a year.  By state law it can't go up more than a few percent a year.  I've dumped another $30K in renovations in the place but that doesn't affect the tax situation since I did all the work myself.  Good luck in your search.

Aren't you the preachy one.

Here's a question for you, Mr. Soapbox.  If it's a "sideways market" for the foreseeable future, explain why tons of the stuff are STILL being taken off market.

 This system is rotten to the core, after our jokes during the day with observations that US dollar was falling out of bed, we know the reason from ZeroHedge report now. People in the know were playing it already yesterday as we have noticed in the USD print. Now US Dollar is falling hard towards 80.00 and Gold is spiking up.   In the big picture preparations to install Janett Yellen were started long time ago with countless attacks on Gold and ECB Rate Cut, just to allow the FED room for her upcoming policies and save the US dollar from the waterfall. http://sufiy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/yellens-remarks-released-early-says-...

Anyone see my post prior to market open re: ES Mini futures huge meltup?  Anyways, well done if you bough the dip.  Yes, the USD crush is all about Yelland's coffin nail, that and the BoJ is about to get a sanctioned green light to buy it's whole short end, which Yelland WILL also do.  Again Marc Faber calls it, we get a mini crisis, she will do trillion+ on a month buyup.

You have a gold target? Ahhh... Well, if that is mere speculation, I have no advice for you. However, if you are a saver, then the price at any one moment is not very relevant. Just buy and hold.

They have transformed the whole world into one giant Green screen..... everything you see and hear is fake, manufactured..total BS.

'Market' prices, statistics, justice.....all created in the new Matrix. The price of Gold is not represented by the COMEX is only function seems to be create a fake-reality. 

The only tool left to TPTB is the continual creation of illusions, since they have failed with reality.


Most are going to be stunned...whilst others will be runniing for cover.
