Because nothing says the status quo is still in charge like crashing gold & silver and rebounding US equities. All driven by USDJPY's magical levitation starting at 12ET runs the stops over 118.00...

 

Because fun-durr-mentals...

 

So once again sell PMs...

Paper PM's are easy to play with, like warm bottles of nitro, though it is a great buy oppurtunity for physical if you can find a dealer who isn't on back order forever.

Gold holders will be crushed too, just not as bad. 

Take me for instance. I have funds trapped in an annuity. I am so fucked. But not totally fucked. I look at the annuity as a hedge that I am wrong about disaster. (Insert manical laugh here, I so hate that I can't get to that money and change how it is allocated). My workplace decided and there I am.

These markets are riggered, jiggered, and conspicuously configured.

In mining towns they called it the "company store" where everything was 70% overpriced but you had no other place to go.

They'd give you -30% on your Gold and charge you +70% on the food you bought.  Sound familiar?

Yeah, because the world is all about you and how much silver you can buy.

 

As long as YOU can buy MOAR, there is no problem here.

I'm working with a woman right now who was a successful middle class employee making valuable contributions in the field of medical massage. She was, in fact, teaching others her methodology. 

She was frugal and saved her money. She would put away money so that whenever she needed to buy a car (late model used) she paid cash.

But she became ill a couple years ago and is now destitute.

So what is my point? There are lots of people who are in dire straits right now who would be in better shape if PM's were at their true price right now. Their silver might be worth 50 times what COMEX claims it is worth. But they are stuck with a tiny nest egg too small to make much of a difference. 

See - the problem is bigger than you. 

A true marketplace would have helped those people. Instead, we continue to have thieves spending each weekend on Martha's Vineyard at the expense of little people in trouble.

you speak as if all silver stakers were born in 2011. thats less than four years ago. itss a blip.

saving silver is a lifetime plan. 

there are two simple parts to the cycle.

buy low

sell high. 

like it or not we are in the "buy low" part of the cycle.

you cant wish the sun was out at 3am. you just have to wait till morning. 

if you plan long term  you wil not be caught in a situation as your friend you refrenced. You will be able to play this cycle long term and have other "outs" rather than

"Selling low"

O bullshit.

She is 31 years old. As I said before, she is quite frugal. She become ill when she was 28-29. How much time did she have to stockpile all those PM's you seem to think she should have had.

There was no long term for her. She was never rich with a lot of extra cash to stick into PM's - certainly not enough to last her 3 years in an emergency.

And why is it you would expect perfection from her in her savings preparations, yet not have any complaints about the piggish thieves who are controlling everyone else's situation even if they do try to prepare?

She is not the only one who is suffering due to the thieves who make prices climb, so that they can buy private jets.

Bottom line: How the fuck can a person "sell high" - as you recommend - when the crooks run the shell game and never let the high prices become a reality??

no, it aint just about me - its about my collective, and i empathize with all who r suffering as a result of the sociopath MoneyChangers...but i chose to educate myself as to why things have happened, why things r the way they are... i went down the the "rabbit hole"...

Do you even realize how few bullion shops there really are? I live in a town of 50,000+ people and I have to travel 60 miles to a regular stocking dealer. Sure there some pawn shops and little collectible dealers around but they dont carry any considerable quantity. So there is one heavy hitter to supply the surrounding 500,000 people. What happens when even 3% of the population wants to invest in metals? Those several hundred ounces he has in stock will be gone in minutes. I think you vastly underestimate the supply situation.

Comoodities could be down because of weak supply/demand characteristics, or they could be down because some hedgies have short-sighted algorithms that are getting ahead of supply/demand. I used to think you could use market moves to tell you something about the future, but now I think that algorithmic trading blunts the short term rationality of the market. Obviously the largest two economies in the world are growing quite strongly right now.

In the meantime, anyone who has more than the play money invested in something whose intrinsic value can't be calculated is handing their head to the market. I am super skeptical of precious metals as a long term investment. SInce gold was allowed to float, the price has an averaged about $750 / oz inflation adjusted, considerably below current levels. If I had to guess, I would says it is going to "correct" for market psychology reaons, to be well below that $750 level. But even then its value would be well above its likely industrial-use equilibrium point which I can claim is $50/oz because no one will have good argument against that.

Stock valuations have uncertainties, but at least they are only hard to value within a reasonable, definable range. One of these days "precious" metals are going to teach people an important lesson about what happens to equilibria when people can't fundamentally agree on how to value the underlying asset.

Excellent, a taker. Do you have proof that it is money, or is that just your religious belief? And in your response, I would be ever so happy it you expressed an closed form equation the value of gold (given any reasonable set of input parameters). That can be espressed statistically - it doesn't evalute to a particular value, it can be probabilistically defined.

You have a much harder job in this debate, because I only have to claim that there is no such equation, and you actually have to prove that there is.

I acknowledge that a currency is not the same thing as an investiable asset, but I find that people who are pro gold usually conflate those two things. So feel free to beg out if you don't think it is investible (i.e. gold is just the unit of measurement).

Right, things were much better 6,000 years ago than they are now. Life expectency was 25 years.

My reading of the history of gold is different than yours. The only reason metals were used was because they didn't degrade the way other tradable goods did. But they proved tremendously impractable. The reason we have paper money is because people couldn't (practically) carry around their metal around because it was too heavy. Thus certificates were issued by goldsmiths that could then be traded instead. However, no one could agree on the prices of gold (and other metals) (HINT HINT!!!) so the financial system was constantly unstable. There wasn't actually any stability in the economic system until well into the Industrial Revolution. At that time European economies were flipping to paper money because people needed  revolving credit and loans to grow their factories. None of this could have happened with physical metals. Suddently banking got a lot more sophisticated, the economy exploded in size, and bankers began to slow of process of learnning how to properly buffer the financial system to maximize growth over extended periods.

Nothing in that history makes me want park my retirement in gold. 

In the meantime, yes, if you follow my line of argument carefully (or not so carefully), I am saying gold is valueless and I am asking any one to refute that. Surely someone is their pro-gold hangout knows how to do that? Just one equation . . . just a hand-full of ascii characters would do!

Name something more valuable than gold and then you might have half a leg to stand on with your inane position.   However, I do wonder if what you do pays well?  My girlfriends sister makes good money, but when I spread my legs they laugh.

Well SilverSavant you don't have game either do you? Where is your valuation equation? The truth is you invest in something who has no theoretical value, isn't that true?

I wouldn't worry about my income. If you knew my real life identity I think you would be very surprised.

I'd definitely be buying real money if I had any more fake money.

You know what would be totally awesome? If Jesus had waited 2,000 years and come today so he could go through the marketplace and "Control, Alt, Delete" the moneychangers computers!

Then the following week, the moneychangers could pull some strings to get TMZ, Gawker, and Twitter, and the TV networks to thoroughly destroy Jesus's reputation since we don't go around crucifying people on crosses any more.

Forty days later, the Zerohedge family would be virtually gathered around their computer screens when Jesus comes back and instructs them to go "two by two" to spread a message of hope. They do that, and just like the original apostles, they too get martyred and suicided by nail guns and the like.

Zerohedge comes under new management, changes its name to "High Frequency Hedge," and laughs all the way to the central bank. 

Someone should make a TV movie.

Gold mining is proportional to the amount of dirt you can move for a given dollar, fuel is the primary expense of gold miners not labor, equipment, or even a good claim but fuel cost in relation to gold cost. 

You crater oil in relation to gold and gold mining automatically explodes, nature hates a surplus, even artificial ones. 

Oil tends to fix itself quite quickly.

Low oil price most benefit to mining, transport, and ag.

1) Gold mining & production, after a long period of declining prices, might take awhile to ramp up.

2) Miners often hedge their inputs, those that bought oil forward will experience a lag before they benefit from lower prices.

They're absolutely determined to manipulate their fake "gold price" below US$1200.

I looked to see if we were having a USD rise but...no.  Have to wait until the US "markets" close for reality to reassert itself.

My biggest mistake in gold:  underestimating just how important it is and what lengths they would go to suppress it's nominal "price."

I'm not going to scream manipulation this time. Gold and silver were smashed, but so were platinum, palladium, oil, copper, iron, and every other thing that exists. This is what true panic looks like... the early stages at least.

Both times (around 12:00 and 2:20 EST) that gold sold off equities went vertical.  That looks like manipulation to me.

It might just be a coincidence. Oil dropped around 12:00 as well. There seems to be a lot of financial unwinding going on.

Down to $1192 (-2.5%) on no news whatsoever.  Just another day in the new normal.

Everyone here is so friggin STOOOOOOPID. You're buying gold, silver, stocks, etc.  How friggin DUMB ARE YOU!!!!???  Buy CHEWING GUM.  A cop will shoot you if you steal a stick of gum from a WalMart but the guys on Wall Street stealing TRILLIONS of dollars have nothing happen to them. The cops even open their limo doors and lick their asses WHAT does that tell you people???!!!  It's so simple to see. Gum is worth more than gold and money.  BUY GUM!!!!!!  I can't believe Janet Yellen didn't tell all the poor people to buy gum. WTF????  I just invested in 50 packs of Big Red.  When people are starving and dollars mean nothing WHAT do you think they're going to want, what they'll riot for? GUM.  That's right, GUM.  Cops will kill you over ONE STICK.

The American and world economy is in uncharted water and weird crosscurrents are clouding our economic future. Last quarter America's GDP came in at a strong 3.5% but the fact that a 10% jump in federal spending, mostly on Pentagon hardware bolstered growth and was very much behind the numbers. This "pre-election" spending was the biggest increase in federal spending since 2009 when the Obama administration put in place a huge economic stimulus package.

Mix in an upbeat November number concerning job creation, falling oil prices and ever higher stock market prices and new record highs and many people have the impression we are on a roll. The truth is if this market is as over extended and distorted as many people think a crash may occur at any time. The article below delves into some of the many crosscurrents at work that could bring the economy to an abrupt halt.
