Re: Gold: I smell a trap

Sorry if this has been said before, I didn't read the entire thread.

@cypherdoc:
I think you're wrong, gold still is a good buy. I'm still buying metals. Here's just a few reasons why:
- Just over a month ago, GS said the price of gold is going to $2500 by the end of this year.

since when have they been trustworthy? they don't even make good calls anymore.

It's complicated, but I'll try to explain. GS has a major short position in silver. Since silver moves with gold, GS does NOT want a higher gold price. They are predicting a $2500 gold price to prevent more damage to their short position. (when they say $2500 by the end of the year, they're trying to set a psychological barrier) Most bulls are predicting $5000, $8000 or higher, based on the price in the late '70s/early '80s and inflation rates.

- Everywhere I look I see small companies popping up that buy your old jewelry. That means these people think gold is still an extremely good buy.

its amazing how diff ppl see the same things but interpret them differently.

- The FED and the ECB are printing lots of money, meaning the euro and the dollar are going down in value.
The book "The Creature from Jekyll Island" explains a lot about the global money system. It's an excellent read, I suggest you pick up a copy...

i've read it twice. and it IS a fantastic book. i just don't agree about the one world currency thing though. nor the gold part at this pt in history.

To quote you: its amazing how diff ppl see the same things but interpret them differently Wink

I tend to agree with Bill Stills when it comes to currency: it doesn't have to be gold. It can be anything, even BTC. However, since gold has been money for a long time, in different empires, I'm going for gold right now.
As long as big central banks are printing money and the public is NOT buying gold/silver en masse, I'm buying.

you'd best read this entire thread.

my point with this thread is to make sure everyone here has the tools and in depth understanding of how the deflation works so that IF i'm right and gold starts heading down you won't be confused, disoriented and doing stupid things like catching a fallen knife. i DID this in 2008 with gold stocks and it was brutal.

but that was only the opening shot of this huge deflationary deleveraging wave we're about to commence. you can't afford to make mistakes.
