i am encouraged that silver essentially went from 19-20 to 49-50 and to 33-34 and then turned around i.e. [49 - (49 - 20)/2] = 34.5 (close enough for govt work) had in the past made drastic moves in wallop steps re portfolio management / allocation (i.e. buying abode at depth of asian financial crisis, getting out of all internet plays w/i a fortnight feb 2000, partaking in buying of tst building during depth of sars) the current velocity of global systemic collapse is surprising me, one who has been preparing for inexorable worsening situation since 2000 the pick-up in 2nd derivative acceleration towards collapse is noticeable at some juncture need to be either (i) all-physical-all-near-at-hand, or (ii) seriously leveraged on paper plays of all the truly important metals either act (or both acts in choreographed sequence) would be dangerous but i suspect necessary which path depends on suspicion re point-of-worst-destination as the crisis comes into final closure and, at the moment of monetary reset-dawn one best be in all sorts of secure / location dependent cash generators such as urban center real estate besides, we must not waste a crisis of once-in-several-generations again, the video made in dec 2002 - we are making good progressing video.google.com

Gold been playing up near 1600 this am, Au above $39 and near that $40 R... actually gone further than that $38.50 pivot very quickly Agq trading up to one top pivot here at $209 (+10) early trading , SLV also testing top channel here near $38....what a difference a week makes , though really thought the Fed would wait at least till Aug for some mention of further easing . .. what was i thinking ? <gg Initiated short early here @ $208 top-resistance which may or may not be long lived but has worked before if this channel top holds true .... SLV could break up too but $38 also strong pretty strong top- R here ...but a further break up exposes $40. Plan to be nimble today...with gold, the focus remains on inflation expectations, with silver traders sizing up the economic growth cues in the US Retail Sales and JPM second quarter earnings reports later this am against the prospect of more QE3? How do we make this stuff up ? $208/09 top pivot, just taking the trade here , hoping $40 stops the advance

Hello hm, today's report: Just did the following trades - - SELL wallops of NLY covered Calls, 17.5, Jan 2012 at 0.75 - SELL wallops of NLY Puts, 17.5, Jan 2012 at 1.28 - SELL wallops of PAAS Calls, 38, Oct 2011 at 1.40 - SELL wallops of PAAS Puts, 33, Oct 2011 at 2.70 - SELL tranche of MCD Puts, 85, Dec 2011 at 4.10 - SELL tranche of ABX Puts, 48, Oct 2011 at 2.59. Socialism works better when enhanced with tax-free cloud ATM extraction. Guessing that (i) Yield curve steepens even as short rates continues to stay low, and real yield remain negative (ii) silver shall be sought as a shelter by the proletariats against ruthless monetary depravity (iii) the proletariats shall be eating more big macs n freedom fries and save the icky fancy treats for their wall street oppressors and Capitol hill enablers and Madison ave facilitators. The oppressed and oppressors may fight over rabbit meat. Time shall tell. (iv) Abx is undervalued relative to what it is camping on. Trying pastis w/ olives. Very good. Coming revolutions go better with wine n cheese, my guess.
