To: GST who wrote (62977 ) 1/25/2001 9:06:51 PM From: d:oug Respond to of 116753 Very good GST, very very good - you put this thread back on track. Lets make some money buying & selling via gold in all its curent incarnations, regardless if its of a physical in the ground or out as real or paper or toilet paper. Let this thread now do a follow-through of its purpose and put forths those roadmaps of wisdom & facts towards a pot filled with the riches of gold knowing that equal time will be given to those who send us off to that pot of old, used in times before indoor plumbing and it was too cold or too raining outside to make a trip. Let us now incapsulate what we know, ignoring those items of incertitude so that we can proceed towards wealth in an incessant manner, knowing that an incarcerate will be obtained, but now of us, but of those others who have created the present "What the ****" state of the price of gold, as they are, or will be incapacitated, allowing us to feed onto the effect of a cause. ... there must be an end-game. ... an end-game that does not entail a revaluation of gold? ... dangerous to play the game to the last ton. Yes, lets prepare for a possible end to this possible gold manipulation game. This thread today has two party places identified. (1) House of gold producers. (with hedges & not & some) (2) Storage warehouses of physical gold. ... Is there a trigger to reverse the direction of gold? Lets assume Roy Roger's horse is inside that barn, with the barn door open. What will cause one to say "Too Late" is not important, but that one knows that for sure the horse will leave the gate and never look back as it speeds over $300. My position is as you spoke, ... if the gold manipulation is a giant fraud on the market, trading in non-existent gold in effect, then the end-game might be for the speculators to buy the mining companies... with me in penny gold mines, most all not prducing or just having untapped reserves in the ground, but bottom line they will benefit as in share price from a nickle to a buck, and hedge or not not an issue as they are too small or new or unproven to hedge. As for the route the price of gold will take, first down then up or up then down then... i get motion sickness thinking so i will buy and hold and not move. I agree with what you say, ... My working theory is that the price of gold just does not matter right now -- but am clueless on what this means, ... the price of gold equities matters a lot. Gold equities are backed by gold in the ground. Does this have any potential to be a long-term bottom in gold equities? To those who find "... mysterious in a free market." might find the market not free. Caution & Advice: This person, Richard of Mazzarella, watch what he does more than what he says. Do not be fooled by his <VBG>(s) & <VVBG>(s) as he is the opposite of a fool or fool'ism just like Ze'ev is not English Challanged no matter the zillion times he may tell you. Richard is of an very aged cheese and no wine before its time, and whatever slowness you see is a change from the too quickness of youth that makes too many mistakes, which was good in Richard's case being an already accomplished scientist on the books of the patent dept. as he has done the hallmark of all successful scientist and say upfront "I learn from my mistakes and hope to make as many as possible without blowing myself up first." Now I have observed Richard for a couple years now and to me he has reached that high level of obtaining a zillion learned lessons throught... that he is a person not many on this thread reconize as being on target to where the money to be made is for gold. Richard may present himself as modest but in truth all he is doing is whats required to learn from one's mistakes and after 1 step back one can go 2 step forward. d:o)g
