Traders Are Buying The Other "Fed Policy Error" Hedge

What else do you buy when monetary policy failure concerns loom...

 

 

As Kyle Bass once so eloquently noted, "buying gold is just buying a put against the idiocy of the political cycle. It's that simple." It would appear between The Fed and the presidential campaign's debacle, now is the time.

Yes, we all know what the outcome of such "let the majority eat cake" monetary experiments are.  This time will be no different.

But they're NOT buying Gold....they're buying bits of paper, letters and numbers on a computer, that says they've bought Gold!

The fraud lies in making people think they are buying gold when they actually are placing a cash side-bet with a bookie on the price of gold, which is not the same thing.

Yawn.  Yet another bottom call in Au.

Off a new cyclical low no less (or is this downmove secular).

Yeah, this is no bottom.  Next big low within the next month could be.  Dec. 17th has potential to be gold liftoff.

The bounce was inevitable, I mean fresh shorts were loading up which in itself was hilarious.

If Trump wins the GOP nomination he can ask Sanders to be his V.P. and defeat Hillary in the election.

Trump will announce the return to the Gold Standard/Silver Certificates and Sanders the debt jubilee.

Ringle, ringle, (real) coins when they jingle, make such a LOVELY sound!

(It's getting close to that season)

You know it's bad when ZH resorts to highlighting spastic intra-day spikes of no technical significance in the price of gold as evidence of the coming surge in gold. It's desperate and tragic.

I pity the poor fools who loaded up on gold coins in 2011. When they finally give up and try to sell the crap, not only will they realize crushing losses on it, they'll have to drive two hours to visit the one pawn shop in the county willing to buy it. That's assuming we don't have a zombie apocalyse. If we do, they'll learn that heirloom vegetables, EMP-proof vintage tractors, spare parts, land in unpopulated areas, etc., are far more valuable than their gold.
