in lieu of the truth, which i certainly do not have first of all. just because the price of rice is 1 usd per pound as an example here, doesn't not explain, why, the price of rice somewhre else is 2 usd per pound. secondly, just because a 1998 ford explorer with 100k plus miles blue book sells in the usa for 2k if you are lucky, gets 3-4k in mexico at the moment plus 700 registration and plate fees. but i do know, when people show up, and keep buying stuff to the point the shelves are constantly clear of inventory across the entire world............. these are the people i want to watch, because their commitment is far less, or far more, than speculative. and this has gone on for months now. that's who i'm watching. cb's, futures gamers, and the rest be damned frankly. they are in a bad position given the facts. two more things.... gold lease rates are at very extreme if not record levels. second.... margin reqs on the comex for gold were raised 47% last week. is it a perfect world for a bet........... fuck no. do you buy gold to make money in the first instance? then you are a fool. but if you are asking if there is a market, and one that is sustainable.............. i'd bet yes. gold ain't a stock. its money. its a preservative. its about having something left over that cannot be polluted. if you are buying it to make money like a trade............ it is not for you. get over it. walk away. this debate on SI has been going on since gold 252. the low since roosevelts imposed 35 bucks/oz. nominally speaking. that's all i got. my dinner is cold. and my next sip has been delayed for over 15 minutes. <g>
