| | | Thanks for the personal analysis C2, but it's the price of gold we are discussing and who gets to gloat. TJ has gone on gloating all this century, which is getting long in the tooth. Do you really think he and you get a free pass to denigrate the great and glorious Uncle Alan Greenspan KBE and the amazing and vindicated Federal Reserve World Champion Big Ben [no KBE], who won against the barbarians at the US$ gate with a KO?
It seems that Warren Buffett was right [buying Wells Fargo by the megaton] at $21 a share, with bonus points in loans and stuff and the Gold Bug Doomsters who also contemptuously disparaged the Oracle of Omaha, the anti-Gold, were wrong. WFC has soared and gold has plunged. Warren is wayyyyy ahead. WFC vs GLD here and he gets dividends too [unlike from GLD]

Happily, I bet against both Warren and the Gold Bugs and won both times, shorting WFC, JPM and GLD [not because of believing in those positions but just for the fun of betting against the Mighty who bestrode the world].
This isn't a time for grieving. This is an NSA-sponsored chat room, not the official Gold Bugs Sacred Temple of Worship from which heretics and blasphemers should be cast. Heck, having been bang on the money four years in a row on the price of gold, and after being asked by you [despite my reluctance] to put a number on gold and being near enough right [but for 4 days], I'd have thought I could have a spot of worship myself, or perhaps just mass cheering and adulation.
You ill-mannered ingrate. [Edit... I note you edited out and changed and added some to your post ... I might as well just leave this post as is... ]
One must get one's gloating in when available because tomorrow is another day and every dog has his day, in a dog eat dog and human eat dog world. Just when all seems lost and the Aztecs have thrown in the towel and sold the temple for parts, Big Ben's successor will likely find that the electorate remains wastrel and the pandering politicians continue apace the financial depredations and destruction leading to financial relativity theory acceleration to warp speed beyond the event horizon into Black Scholes failed option prices when the financial physics which seemed so knowable turns to the unknowably bewildering and the singularity of gold dazzles all.
Oh ye of little faith.

... another little edit.. TJ adds pelvic thrusting to his Aztecian celebratory dance, not just chest thumping [not for me such immodesty, being humble as well as perfect] .... USA! USA! USA! <
As I said before, there are times to discuss, chat, banter, etc. and there are times when good manners and prudence compel silence rather than egocentric chest-thumping. This is one of them. |
