I looks like you're still carrying that chip on your shoulder, Slider. Seems like no matter what I say about anything, I set you off. Is there an envy problem that you need to deal with? Your impassioned and lengthy post was a wasted effort, Slider, and your insults are like water on a duck's back. Wipe the spittle from you chin and act like a grown-up, would you? It's the Holiday Season. I didn't come here to attack you and I didn't even post to you. Now, back to the easy stuff (and I'll keep it very short). "Short Gold?" Yep, I wrote that. What's it mean? It means just what that curly little symbol intends. It's a question. A simple question. And, no, it is not intended to indicate that I may be short, myself. Nor did I use it intend to trigger your paranoia. I am not short gold. Period. Don't plan to be either. There. Are you happy?? Fundamentals do matter. Always have, always will. What's important is how much one is willing to pay for them. Right now, the disconnect is wide and the E&Ps are considered cheap. So, cheap that.... well, you read my post so I won't go on. As for AU, you are right about just having to wait and see. I won't predict its path because I don't care about it, at all. Not a bit. My point is that it is in abundant supply, its cost of production is in a downtrend and it has just damn little practical use. The price has been declining for God knows how long. Sure, it's at historically low prices. So what? What the upside impetus? So, one has to really buy into the idea that a market correction and/or a weaker dollar are going to make AU a "gotta have" item. Ain't working so far, is it? You, buy into it. You go for it, OK? I don't it. Just don't get all worked up because I don't agree with you. Merry Christmas, Slider. May the season bring you joy, happiness and good will and may gold treat you well in the coming year. Same for the rest of the thread.
