Re <<Gold>> (1) just noticed, that you seem to often CAPITALISE the 'G' in gold :0) (2) I was, have and am going longer gold. I do not feel comfortable with 'do-absolutely-nothing' and feel must do 'something' (3) I think GS is either double-gaming us, by actually buying gold whilst singing gold's praise, or GS is just wrong (4) Given what is happening 'out there', selling gold and cratering silver is not exactly in alignment with intuition for survival (5) Over the past few days I have been closing my short QQQ puts at deservedly handsome profit Message 33671728 , (6) Shorting DRD puts, and accumulating KRBN Message 33668054 and shortening some covered Calls, and shorting puts to try to get more KRBN I expect everything to work out okay. Been a busy few days of thinking, and some doing. (7) Of all the trades (7-i) Accumulate KRBN (7-ii) Short a bunch of KRBN puts, ready to be putted (7-iii) Shorting some KRBN calls, ready to have some KRBNs called away (7-iv) Shorting some covered GLD calls (7-v) Shorting more and more GLD puts (7-vi) Shorting DRD puts (7-vii) Closinglong QQQ puts I like <<(7-vii) Closing QQQ puts>> best, because the profit recognition is always the favourite. Of the open positions, I am most intrigued w/ KRBN, even though in too many ways it is a Ponzi scheme, but a government mandated Ponzi scheme where the majority are in process of being bum-rushed to make the minority better off. KRBN carbon credit futures is a minuscule number that very enormous companies are compelled to buy, for our own collective planetary-good. Even so, and especially so, I wish to be positioned better than just-good, and I chose to do so by collecting KRBN, and to farm a yield out of the goodness by machinating its options. Think of the exercise as a variation of tax-farming, and better that we farm than be farmed. finance.yahoo.com ... carbon compares well against BitCoin, Gold, and QQQ My trades in the last few days per above discussion: (7) In the meantime Martin has below to say about the state of everything important ask-socrates.com Blog This week was an ideal target for an initial turning point with a Panic Cycle forming next week. While the Dow bounced today, it failed to close above the Monday high of 34420.99. We need that to imply that the Monday low would hold for the week. The major resistance is now starting to form at 35172 level and only a weekly closing above that would imply a temporary low for now. Our critical support in the Dow lies at the 33750-33600 level. Only if that breaks on a monthly closing basis would we expect to then see the 26770-25700 area tested. We must respect that the two targets where a possible important low could form maybe by the ECM turning points here in March 2022 or April 2023. While everyone is threatening Russia, it reminds me of the movie Blazing Saddles when the guy put his gut to his own and says nobody moves of he gets it. The US threatens to cut off Norstrom and Europe threatens to remove Russia from Swift. Both would result in Europe freezing and what are they going to do with a China attack and their surrogate rebels in Yemen attacking installations in the Middle East? Russia could launch sub and start sinking ships coming from the Gulf. Russia is getting tired of being the whipping boy for the West. Be mindful that with a Panic Cycle next week, it remains possible that penetration of this week's low could result in the March low I warned about at the WEC. At the very least, this could push the DOW lower into the week of February 28th. A weekly closing BELOW 34005 would warn that a test of the 26760-25700 level becomes a possibility. A reaction low appears to be 2 to 3 months which means we could see February as the lowest monthly closing and March as the intraday low. We need to close the week above 35172 to imply a temporary low for now. A closing below 34870 for this week will keep the market in a vulnerable position. A weekly closing above 1876 in Nearest Gold Futures will also warn of geopolitical uncertainty ahead.

Looks Like There’s a Whale Snapping Up Gold Bullion Below $1,800 Spot gold is again bobbing along near $1,800 an ounce, as it has been since mid-2020. The stickiness of that level, particularly as fundamentals turned more bearish, suggests there’s a big buyer somewhere in these waters. Since breaking above the round number in July 2020, the gold price dipped below it 19 times on a closing basis, only to regain its footing. In the past year, the modeled value of gold, based on a regression study that includes the dollar, real rates and ETF holdings, dropped nearly 10%. Yet the metal’s price only fell around 2%. Clearly, there is a big buyer who considers the metal a long-term hold. Such whale activity, which shows up neither in ETF holdings nor in futures positioning, would require a substantial buyer, accumulating in size in the London over-the-counter market. Yet vault holdings reported by the London Bullion Market Association, which include both ETF and some central bank-owned metal, show only a fractional increase in the year through December, from 307 million to 309 million troy ounces. That would suggest that whoever is buying is able to buy in scale, leave little footprint in the market and then take delivery and store the metal in secure, invisible vaults. And that points strongly toward a sovereign buyer. bloomberg.com
