<<should expect US$1100 at 31 Dec 2009 and $1400 at 31 Dec 2010>>

... dunno, could be, good enough if so, but could also be too low targets.

let us watch and brief.

what do you figure the 2009 year-end qcom would be?

<<How is the pollution level in Hong Kong today?>>

southside, the right, honorable, correct and ordained side - the side that creates schemas and construct convolutions - is crispy blue and beautiful, as usual.

the ranks of the ordained side has thinnned noticeably in the past 12 weeks. from the back wall of the clubhouse can peek into the back garden of a residential complex and see 7 out of its perhaps 20 lowrise units. all seven are empty, former residents vaporized. also in neighborhood, the must-sellers of high end units next to the pla army base is asking for sars-level distress prices.

air-borne ebola price level should be anticipated, and globally.

otoh, i understand iceland and greenland pollution level is also zero.

in any case, the one road leading in, through, and then out of the ordained side should be well congested today by tourists, domestic and foreign, so the riff raffs are kept mostly out and further away, and the residents keep to indoors, practice drill for the coming revolution.

the boyz, my monthly lunch club of between 5-10 comrades each time, just had year-end lunch last week, where the founder of a shipping firm (exited enough via ipo in mid 2007 ;0) treated the meal and i, a user of ships, the champagne. a commodities guru joined us. he does so about 2-3 times per year. he expects eventual riots by refugees in zurich - yes, we are a club mostly of bears and uber bears. the lunch was at fat angelo's, a hearty italian restaurant offering huge portions.

i am holding an informal brunch for 14+4 at my place today -
bottles of 1996 dom pink champagne
vitamin-free and noble metal plenty japanese 99999 gold leaf to bring out the shine of the pink bubbles backlit by mid-day sun filtering through the wooden louvers
russian beluga, iranian same, and chinese more of the same, a sampler tray
froi gras w/ truffle
unusual japanese melons wrapped with exotic italian ham
variety of olives
various cheeses and cold cuts
collection of fresh bread
aussie/kiwi (our usual third world produce suppliers) mixed berries with heavy french cream
large japanese grapes individually packed and airplaned to hk just the day before
starbucks ice frappucino from america, as the place cannot seem to produce much else besides paper instruments of varying lethality (yeah, i know, guns do not kill pepole, people kill people ;0)

recommendation: buy mustang convertible, soon enough to be empire closeout collectors item :0)

kobe beef burgers for coconut and her 3 little friends.

bit over the top, my annual insane and extreme meal, for the year just parted had been most kind, and i expect 2009 to be kinder still.

the music for today was all downloaded yesterday into the ipod from hymn.ru

i figure we might as well learn the words in all languages so as to fully participate when the time is correct, to be in alignment with the force.

the conversation today should be about the usual, chaos, crisis, volatility, riots, wastrelism, confiscation, redistribution, evaporation, revolution, and such, eventually focusing on the resolution that is the darkest interregnum and solution that be the hardest cash.

and let us pray so as to better prey, and loot, and boot. to your continued good health, cheers, j

p.s. i will, as reminded by incoming e-mail, return to long practiced humble attitude after today's outrage, and hope that comrades will 'remain one with the force, and maintain the yin and yang of our karma in the coming challenges!!!'

According to the data and relationship presented here

Message 25285213

My calculations for the Dec 2009 and Dec 2010 targets would be as follows. Admittedly the projection is off by about $150 per oz. as of today, but some might say there is pressure building up in the POG. If you have been reading the news on recent money creation & bail outs etc, you should not be overly surprised at this projection.

hello maurice, what do you think, if you do, if you can Message 25290145

1999 Dec 31st USD 288/oz
2000 Dec 29th USD 271/oz -6%
2001 Dec 31st USD 278/oz +3%
2002 Dec 31st USD 347/oz +25%

2008 Dec 31st USD 880/oz +6%
2009 Dec 31st USD ?/oz +/- ?%


... three or four digits?

not meant to be hubris, but a light but also illuminating and golden wisdom moment, i say investment is easy, capital preservation is not hard, because as long as ones premise is true, understanding correct, positioning astute, faith strong, all in tune with the force, and the only hard part, listen and learn, investment is second nature, as in buy low, sell high :0) i.e. the well deserved prize comes naturally

cheers, tj

p.s. i have a lot of spare time today, as beijing still on holiday, and gold is doing my work, taking from you, to reward me, a sweet state of is ;0)

i will try to spare you the gold poems until 5 digits

Ah here it is: <Thanks for that historical data TJ. Using financial relativity theory and mathematical review of said data we should expect US$1100 at 31 Dec 2009 and $1400 at 31 Dec 2010.>

Therefore, probabilistically, we should short gold to get it to $1100 for 31 December 2009, but be mindful that $1400 lies in wait a year later. That means the transaction costs make it not worth shorting gold from near-enough to $1100 right now.

Mq your predictive talents are supreme.

Admittedly, it's true that your prediction for QCOM for 2009 has been bung but it's hard to get a perfect record in short term fluctuations. It's like predicting climate - at any moment, the weather can play up something awful.

I see financial relativity theory is matching reality nicely: <Thanks for that historical data TJ. Using financial relativity theory and mathematical review of said data we should expect US$1100 at 31 Dec 2009 and $1400 at 31 Dec 2010. >

We are nearing mid 2010 and gold at $1250 per ounce is tracking correctly, give or day the daily vicissitudes which move things up or down around the mean, and nasty time.

Mq that was amazing. <Thanks for that historical data TJ. Using financial relativity theory and mathematical review of said data we should expect US$1100 at 31 Dec 2009 and $1400 at 31 Dec 2010. > It's now nearly 31 Dec 2010 and kitco.com quotes gold at $1390 per ounce which is $1400 in normal language, near enough. But there are still 2 days to go which should see it to within 4 significant figures of the predicted price.
