mining top? below production cost? no way

remember that Wall Street does possess some intelligence
they can reason thru the bubble sequence just like me

if 50% of silver mines are shut, due to artificial low prices, then not a top
dont be duped

we have seen all highcost gold and silver producers go out of business
see Sunshine, see Coeur d'Alene (near death)
we have seen consolidation due to desire to share cost structures and mgmt overhead

equilbrium price of gold to satisfy supply/ demand is 500-600
equilbrium silver price is 25

wait at least 18 months before employing your contrarian gears
the contrarian signals will be like:
- ads in press and TV to buy your gold & silver
- ads explaining the benefits of precious metal investments
- your stupid neighbor telling you about discovering gold

Klapp, this thing is in the bottom of the 1st inning
plenty of resting points
plenty of deception points
with the stock feeble upcoming recovery, plenty of alternatives
but watch the physical price chart
this is early
relax

two ultimate ongoing BUY signals for GOLD

1. near zero real rate of interest
(bond funds will exit credit market slowly
some will go to stocks, small amount into gold)

2. mining firms are buying gold from central bank sales
(unwinding their unwise forward hedges
the most laughable irony of all)

by the way, real rates remain near zero now
the longer they are near zero, the bigger the gold spike will be

in viewing the future, I expect three big waves
and three little legs within them
I think we have just finished the 1st leg of the 1st big wave

you better shape up, slackjaw
here is an assignment
find me a website with four silver futures prices
nearby month contract, and three prime qtrly future month contracts

that contango pattern is critical
in a year or two, when forward months are cheaper, then that is a top signal
it is called backwardation, or backwardized pattern
(akin to inverted yield curve)
as long as uptrend remains intact, it should be in contango
(rising price in each forward month)
