  • Will the New GCC Single Currency Include Gold?
    If the dollar is so bad why are the Gulf sheiks worried so much about the price of oil in dollars falling?

  • Gaza War: Expect a Spike in Oil, Gold
    Gaza is irrelevant.... It's just another third world street gang trying to up the ante and losing. It's possible the producers are using it as an excuse to try a short squeeze in crude oil futures, but as an event it's meaningless.

  • The Manipulation of Gold and Silver Prices
    Yes, I think JPM's reputed size on Comex is immaterial to the world gold price since that world price is fungible and "arbitrage-able&q... instantly. All discrepancies between NY and other world gold center (Tokyo, London, Dubai, etc.) prices are instantly arbitraged. If JPM can have that many shorts in the NY market and it doesn't really affect the world price, that's the sign of a large and very healthy market.

    I spend my time on price analysis and fundamental analysis and leave the BS to others. I only bother to comment occasionally because the incessant BS pisses me off as wasteful, and I hate to see another generation of gold investors sucked into that vortex of ignorance. Gold is a very worthwhile investment asset, but the distractions of the "manipulationista... are a real pain in the rear when people are trying to gauge the real market.

  • The Manipulation of Gold and Silver Prices
    It's clear to me that the government WANTS gold to go UP not DOWN! Why else would they be inflating every minute of every day? How many times per week do you hear a CONgrASS person or bureuacrat say the word "reflation"? Now is that "manipulation&quo... or just "public policy"?

    Why don't the armies of NCGB's here at this site and elsewhere EVER get it???????????? It's enough to drive a good man to drink on New Year's Eve.

    Happy 2009 to all NCGB's and the very few normal gold investors!

  • The Manipulation of Gold and Silver Prices
    ""My purpose here is to illustrate the reckless manner in which the big players have distorted what were once “normal” markets. JPM is not a gold miner, it is not a gold user, and it is not a central bank. Why, then, is JPM participating in the gold futures markets? For one reason alone: what was once a means for producers and users to hedge an actual production process has become a casino. The big investment banks have “trading desks” who engage in speculation."&quo...

    The stated purpose of futures exchanges was and is to provide a forum in which producers and users may exchange their risk to speculators. Without speculators there is no exchange of risk. What is there about that function which should make you angry and disturbed, seeing evil manipulators under every bed?

  • The Manipulation of Gold and Silver Prices
    Hmmmmm...on the email sending me this article from Seeking Alpha, Hamlin was listed as the source, but here at the site it says Peter Degraaf.

  • The Manipulation of Gold and Silver Prices
    I parted company from the goldbugs in the late 1990's when they were reduced to claiming that gold should go up during deflation (!) and also claimed the reason it didn't go up was because of a massive manipulative conspiracy. But it was back then really just a bear market in gold as it was in oil and grains and the CRB Inxdex in general. What could have been more obvious?

    In many cases the manipulation addicts are paid by the miners and others to promote the gold price in any way they can. I know little or nothing about Mr. Hamlin, and I certainly do not mean to accuse him AT ALL of being in that league. He may simply be fooled by the marketing manipulators' constant barrage as many others are.

    I still love and own gold as a hedge just as I love and own home, car and health insurance. I don't really want to see any of them pay off, but I buy them "just in case". The rest is marketing hype and other uglier varieties of BS.

  • Rising Gold and Silver: Essential to Any Investment Strategy
    Effectively Sanchez is saying that gold will profit from uncertainty near term and up to about six months out. By that time he implies that a successful resolution of the credit trap would improve the economy and gold would fall. But even the eventuation of a severe world wide recession would also cause gold to fall at some point in time. So I think one may want to increase on gold short term but not as a total replacement for productive (interest, dividends, capital gains) investments.

  • SPDR GLD ETF Unloads 79 Tons of Gold - Should Investors Follow Suit?
    Malkiel, GLD is a "market" where one can buy or sell small or large amounts of gold exposure. Most people do not want to buy a gold trading company which may or may not trade sucessfully. They want to be "indexed" to the cash gold price. There are public commodity trading pools available if you want someone to do that for you. Check Clusty.com or Google.com for commodity trading pools or funds.

  • The Rebirth of Gold and Silver?
    I agree. On the long term charts silver looks very much like where it was for most of 1974 and 1975 after a similar 5 wave rise from 1967. I think silver's going much higher later on, probably next year unless world recession goes deeper than I think it will. In that case it may take two years of consolidation at these lower prices.

  • Precious Metals Manipulation: Lawyers Prepare for Battle
    On first glance it looks like this: "Oh my, they've let the "manipulationista... out of the looney bins again. They are the people who think it's glorious good fun and only right when gold goes up, but it's shady manipulation when it goes down."

    Actually this is what's going on: There's a need to recruit a new generation of loonies and make them so angry about government with manipulation fantasies that they will buy gold all the way down in a bear market as they did from 1980 to 1999. They hire gold newsletter writers and other hustlers to help them fleece the ignoranti. It always works. Just like politics eh.......:)
