Making "calls" ?
Hubris its pretty obvious why many posters are here. Theyre like me- gold or silver bugs <as slider likes to call us>. And most of you are here to take out your anger, or frustration.
But that's not why I'm here. The reason I like this thread is the discussion of both the bullish and bearish sides of the factors that affect the gold and silver price. I dont need to hear any more chicken-little, end of the world- gold is going to the moon BS. The same gloom and doom writers and newsletters have said the same thing since 1978. They dont even need to write new newsletters. They could recycle the ones from the late 70s or early 80s. Their tune hasnt changed in 25 years.
Now make no mistake about it- I am a silver bug. I wear it proudly. But I want to hear both sides of the story- good and bad, bear and bull. I want hear the reasons I should ring the register and bank a rally. I want to hear if palladium, or silver have better upside than gold,or visa-versa.
I first read Slider on the Yahoo FGI and RIG boards probably 6 years ago. What I like about him is that he can be the biggest bull, or the baddest bear. You get his opinion with out it being one-sided mindless and endless cheerleading. I never understood the whole daytrading thing. To dance in and out of a $12 stock for a 10 cent entry/exit and re-entry- mystifies me? If that's your bag- good for you. But to come on here and cry about him posting a chart that shows a stocks correction from high to low and what day he "called" it- is childish.
No one here (thank God) is posting every single in and out trade. Slider hasnt been doing that in the year, so that Ive followed this thread? That would be stupid, whats the point? Silicon Investor message boards would look like one giant brokerage statement. He didnt misrepresent anything? He posted months ago, something about- waiting for the fall money shows to pump and then dump some Uranium stocks. I think he proved his point. But, I guess your point is that all of a sudden after years of commentary and hundreds of really interesting charts- he, or anyone else is supposed to 'disclose' the exact tic they entered the chart? - get a life!
I want to hear commentary and opinion about what is moving the market and why. I could care less about whether someone got in at $3.85, or $5.07, or if they show a 3 month chart when they traded long, or short mid-month. Whats your point?
Actually, I know your point.
It's the same point Billy made with his 500 re-posts of Sinclairs site. Its childish emotion gone wrong over your own bad trades. You nit wits act like he's personally smashing YOUR stocks. (maybe he is?)
The reason you are here has nothing to do with that FRG chart, or what day the "call" was made, or that Slider draws a chart line from the high to the low. fwiw, thats the type of chart he's continually posted to beat up the permabulls ever since I've read his stuff. The reason you are here has more to do with this-

"Looks like the PM bargain window is still open. Don't miss the sale and regret it at the EOY! Fully loaded in PMs. - hubris33"
And this chart-
Hubris it looks like your last 5 "calls" all went south.

That's why your here. Be honest. Its obvious.
Be a man about it- dont be like billy.
I didnt agree with Slider on his recent "call" that what looked like a solid breakout was going to fail. I posted that I thought he was WRONG and that I bought more silver. It got a pop and now it's rolled over again. No big deal. I take my lumps like man and I dont blame him for my losses if hes short.
The big deal in PM's - would have been selling and walking away in May and fwiw, I only saw one poster on SI pounding the table on that- and it was Slider. The trading action since has really been all noise. The fact is that gold and silver and the PM stocks were a hell of a lot higher then, than they are now.
It amazes me that the blind bulls didnt take out their anger on the Jim Sinclairs and the only blue sky and good news newsletter writers who told us to 'hold tight' like Sinclair did, or that gold was going to $2000 for whatever reason.
Those are the a-holes that cost you your money!
Personally I think you have to be a complete nit wit to be posting about 10 cent exits and entrys on $12 stocks. Or for bragging about a 34 cent profit on a trade. These sectors move 30 and 40% in the blink of an eye. Brag about some REAL MONEY if youre going to make a quote, unquote- "CALL".
What brought me to SI was Sliders move to Palladium and Silver in 2005. I am a Silver bug, dont trade too many gold stocks, or gold. He caught the turn and doubled, or tripled the return of gold over that same time period. That got my attention and my ear.
Do that hubris- and you'll get my attention.
Blabbering on about some damn high to low chartline not matching what day he post something is not the issue.
Your 10 cent & 34 cent trades verus 30 to 50% sector moves are the issue.
My suggestion- get a life, or make a REAL CALL that makes you, or someone else, more than .34 cents.
Until then take your whiney ass elsewhere. Youre worse than billy.
That's my 2 cents.
