Pinky's Tailing Box: a weekly Wednesday feature of At a Bottom Now for Gold...

PLAYING WITH NUMBERS...

Monte Carlo's Fallacy:

The "law of averages" says that because gold has trended down 18 years in a row, it is likely to begin trending up to compensate for the freak run.

$

Irrational Number:

The number of day traders piling into yesterday's stock market advance.

$

Golden Ratio:

The ratio of bears to bulls necessary to keep a bull market going--1.62:1

$

Pseudorandom Numbers:

A totally predictable sequence of numbers a computer spits out when programmed to calculate a completely random sequence of numbers.

$

Prime Numbers (cannot be divided by any other numbers than themselves or 1 without a remainder):

$13 silver
$431 gold

$

Perfect Numbers (ones which equal the sums of their own divisors):

$28 silver
$496 gold

$

Friendly Numbers:

Yesterday's stock market closes.

$

A Googol (1 followed by 100 zeros) is equaled by:
All the grains of sand in the world? CLOSE
All the electrons in the known universe? CLOSER
All the lame excuses for Clinton uttered in the last seven years? CLOSEST

$

The Goldbach Conjecture:

If you sell your gold now and buy it back in four years your gold will equal its oz sum plus two times.

$

The Seive of Eratosthenes:

Gold is the square root of all disinvestment. To obtain a list of all prime stock investments, one must strike out all Primes (PMs).

$

Roche's Limit:

If the level of the Dow were to approach the earth within a certain distance, the tidal (Kahuna) forces of the planet would overcome the mania forces holding it together and the Dow would disintigrate.

$

Poisson Distribution:

Gold happens.

$

Catastrophe Theory:

The Market will crash simply because it has done so well for so long.

$

Famous mathematicians on gold investments...

Copernicus: The earth revolves around the sun.
Galileo: The earth is round, not flat.
Whirlwind: Gold bugs revolve around the POG. The POG is flat.

$

Pythagoreus: Gold is the measure of all losses

$

Archimedes: I have lost it! I have lost it!

$

Fibonacci:

A certain man in white put a pair of goldbugs in a place surrounded on all sides by walls. If it is supposed that each of the pair buys a new pair of Krugerrands every month, beginning in its second month, how many Krugerrands will these crazy lunatics have in a year?

$

Fermat:

I have discovered a truly remarkable proof gold will rally which this margin call is too small to contain.

$

Einstein: I never think of gold futures. It tanks soon enough.

$

Galilio:

The gold investing is for squares and I know they're around.
