It always seems to come back to whether we are in for an inflationary or deflationary blow up. Yes, the BRIC countries have been exporting DEFLATION in LABOR COST that can be offshored, but the lower prices have stimulated consumption, which has resulted in INFLATION in COMMODITIES used to make the overall cheaper goodies. Which is the dominant trend? Well, due to my consumption of basic commodities (gasoline, natural gas, electricity), real goods that cannot be easily offshored (milk, etc.), and, more importantly due labor that cannot be offshored, such as medical care, my cost of living has been going up at nearly ten percent a year. It was the realization a few years back the the Gubmint is lying about inflation that got me first interested in PMs. The nice aspect of $Gold is that it can do well in either an inflationary or deflationary blow. Of course, instead of either extreme, we might just "muddle through" with the PTB sitting on $Gold all the way. In that event, my leveraged miners won't do very well. But I am buying more fizz, not to make money, but to have real money in case of an economic crack up. Yes, it could go down, maybe back to $250 again, over a 50% loss from here. But a stock can go to zero, and $Gold will always have some decent value. If it turns out I don't need it to buy bread and milk someday, then I'll just leave it to the kids. As far as making money, I'm willing to look elsewhere. Maybe more exposure to the uraniums. NC

Slider.....you're preaching to the choir here on your eloquent diatribes about mass market psychology. Over 22 years of hardened battles fought in the markets have led me to think outside the box much as in your prescribed manner. I really would like to know where you see good oppurtunities to deploy investment capital right now??? What do you see for the markets after the November elections? I see some oppurtunities developing...... Can I pick your brain here??? Your Pal, Rogue

slider, if anyone has been reading sinclair since 2002, he's not going to give sell signals...he has given everyone the easy tools of trend lines, fib levels, ibd clones, sto, macd, etc. to make their buy and sell decisions...sinclair gives a free service to the community unlike the other letter writers that give out their buy and sell signals...yes, you need to pay for that type of service, but with sinclair it's just about fundamental education re: the gold and commodities markets and how to best arm yourself to profit from the long term precious and base metals bull... let me ask you a question slider, why do you think sinclair started up mineset in the first place?
