"I put out my first buy signal on gold on a bright, sunny day back on August 15th, 1971. I'd guess that you were still a stain on you mothers sheet at that time." I owned my first mutual fund, Keystone S-4 Custodian fund, 11 years prior to the date you mentioned. "Holding doesn't make you money." I thought this was all about market timing. I am up 120% on my PM buy in 2002. Maybe it doesn't make you money, but my timing seems to be working out quite well. "This isn't a daytraders room and I've never felt the urge, or need- to 'make a call'." Hence, in retrospect you use past charts to prove a point...but never made a call on a buy or sell...although you are not a daytrader...but buy and sell PM's and stocks based on your fantasy of being a long term PM or shareholder while everyone else is a friggin' moron. "For what its worth- holding gold has never really been that profitable." I guess it's all about timing. Maybe you shoulda bought when I did. I should probably chastise all those who didn't and anoint myself thread guru, eh?
