Simple Doom & Gloom that gold/silver bugs carry as burdens as seened by others as folks wishing and hoping for a near collapse in the world order of order. Seems this thread only does "what it knows" and chooses not to engage my prior post to Dave Gore on this precious metals subject as reflected in his no reply to my post to him, or might it been my reference to Zeev's Turnips in all their glory that caused Dave Gore to leave your mention out of discussion since in a way your many turnip related threads here on Silicon Investor are well knowned and respected and traveled, meaning competition for this thread. If this thread was not created as moderated, then for sure Dave Gore now wishes it was so :o) but i'm the price of free speech. Hard for me to understand a thread being created for trading with the logo "Trades That Make Sense" and only include existing knowned well traveled already etc so that a high predictability of success is obtained, where in my opinion this high predictability includes safety boundaries that limit the rate of postive returns to have a low upper limit, meaning that trades that will very soon "make sense" are ignored until after they obtain sense, meaning the initial sharp jump in the share prices of these companies will be missed and only that narrow band of limited small percentage moves is obtainable. But then maybe thats the objective here, obtain quick gains of stable stocks that constantly have small fluctuations so that thse here can buy and sell in this very small percentage delta. If so then there was no need for me to place my recent and first post on this thread, with this my second, in that if Dave Gore made it clear in his post 0 introduction/purpose of this thread, or if he choose not to label this thread as such upfront he could have replied to my prior post and told me that precious and base metals for investmint purposes did not fit into his model that identified doing only what you already know as stable with somewhat easy to speculate changes based on past history. Guess trades that make sense do not include any new trades that have the potential to make great sense with the initial great ramp-up to that place where Dave's makes sense live. d:oug
