inchinup?

Merks:

<That would be "Mr." Merks to you, not "Merks.">

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Better read my post again.

Secondly.."Puked your gold shares up and got caught short GS"..I have stated numerous times on this thread I hold physical gold and have done so since my initial purchase at $314 and have no reason to sell it or add to my position.

<You hold physical gold and have done so since $314. Well, that raises two questions. (1) Where do you hold it (do you use both hands, or just one) and (2) isn't it getting kind of heavy by now?>

As for these markets, I took the past 3 days off and spent some quality time tooling around the Midwest on my motorcycle.

<Anyone who calls their 'bike' their 'motorcycle'- definitely was 'tooling' around and not riding. And let me guess, your 'motorcycle' is yellow isn't it? Lucky guess <vbg>?

In case you forgot I also mentioned I don't need to trade on a daily basis to support myself, and also I don't buy or sell into this type of ridiculous volatility.

<Let me see if I can translate that. - What you mean to say is that after getting whipsawed so many times that you're now cross-eyed, you took off on your motorcycle and you left the 'trading' to the margin clerk.>

I am currently 99.9% cash in my trading accounts and will continue to be that way until I decide to make a trade. I don't let the markets dictate my trading, but make my own decisions which are much more rational than the markets are.

<I think you're giving us much more information that we need, wanted, or asked for; but since you're on a roll- I know the thread has 2 other questions they want answered.

1. Are you now, or have you ever been; a member of the communist party?
2. Boxers, or briefs?>

Now don't none of you at home be laughing abou this. This is serious stuff. What you have just seen are the remnants of a former card carrying gold bug who is suffering from post trumatic whipsaw stress syndrome and margin clerk abuse.

Lets all learn something here. Now I ask that we all join hands and repeat:

"There but for the grace of SOTB and "THE CHART" go I.
