you second-guess yourself about 15 times, no conviction of course there are no gaurantees but there are several big big obstacle forces like Kondratieff Winter well underway in 1930 the gold standard was destroyed do you really think the indebted bloated debased flooded dollar will survive? its demise is gauranteed GAURANTEED lower rates beget a slower economy and even lower rates Europe is slowing down, and their clumsy ECB speaks about reduced inflation risks the world banking and currency systems are being leveled no gaurantees? heck, sure there are like destruction of the currencies by central bankers some clowns like WonderBoy believe far far far too much in their ability to save the day if the Fed had power, why have 11 rate cuts failed? why is the trade gap widening with a falling dollar? why is Chinese surplus equal to new money supply creation? the system is breaking right under your nose central bankers have a very bad history faith in their methods is very misplaced you were not into gold at the best time 18 months ago you will not be in gold at the next upcoming best time either you second guess yourself more than a teenager at his first dance I am not sure you should invest your family's money at all / jim

I got four letters for you. QCOM :) Wow! considering you mention in the same post you're taking off your LTBH cap and wearing your trading cap Should we assume your QCOM tip is for trading? If not, I'll wager wit you that POG will out perform QCOM between today's close and EOY. Say 1 oz of gold? Think about it. That's pretty good odds for you. Closing price today on Qcom is $34.7 POG $353

[I see several dudes racing to become the next George Gilder of Gold. And I see the same people who flocked to read the great wonders of technology all of a sudden begin seeing nothing but yellow these past few months."] ...right on the money. I like the Gilder analogy. Good to see more & more people recognizing the mass arrival of the flavo-flav du jour, mo-mo players here of late...or as Sinclair likes to refer to them - "those new to the gold story" (read late to the party)

one thing I just don't get is how can there be all these J6P’s jumping into gold stocks (or so we are supposed to believe), yet all the gold stocks combined still have a smaller market cap than GE? Are we really to believe J6P is avoiding the stocks and mutual funds to buy futures?…give me a break. Gold mutual funds had almost no inflows over last 3 years (despite gold being the best sector during this period). Almost all the increase in gold mutual fund capital came from the appreciation of the stocks. As Schaeffer noted in contrast, the average tech fund was down 47% last year, yet money invested in said funds was only off 24%, meaning people keep chasing the tech dream. Many of the people who are now calling gold a bubble in my estimation (not you slider) never saw it coming in the first place. It went from a 22 year bear market where one justified not buying gold because it 'obviously' sucked as was evidenced by it's past 22 year price action, to being in a bubble analogous t the great tech bubble in 1 year. So now those who were not in early are saying 'it is too late'.... classic wall of worry IMO.....
