Hello!

Welcome to the goldtent pressroom!.

but seems to me, this Tent, is coming up on the one year anniversery???

Reckon that calls for some kind of Celebration…a toast….a word of thanks again to AuDept.

Seems, even Gold and Silver recognizes this special occasion, by reaching up to some record numbers.?

Perhaps one of our ‘Adminstrator’ types, can tell us exactly….when this place ‘officially’ kicked off?

Let Freedom Ring, Farmboy (who is looking for a good reason, to raise a glass in honor, and toast the success of a humble place, known as the Tent)

Now there’s a name I aint seen in a spell. Good to see you.

So tell me….you got something agin those silver eagles or maples? (grin) I swear, the more I learn about paper markets….the better shine those ounces seem to exude.

Seen a sign at a church the other day. Sign said, “A clear consciounce (sp) makes for a soft pillow.” No doubt some good advice, but I had to add….my own two cents…and thought to self…so does a mattress lined with ounces. (grin)

Good to see you. Best, Farmboy

Hi everybody. Hasty here. I’m looking at a few silver miners with acquisitive eyes. In particular, I’m interested in Semafo (SMF.to), Endeavor (EDR.To), HL, CDE and SIL. More or less in that order. Anybody know a reason I should get any one of these in particular? or avoid any of them? I tend to favor the smaller juniors…

 Thanks for any help!

Thanks for checking in. Kinda ole fashioned I is….like hearing the ‘news’ from the horses mouth so to speak, rather than through the ‘gossip bench’. (grin)

Encourage you to continue the fight…to hang in…keep your hopes and attitude up. (Ditto for your wife) Want you to know, in your time of trial…..you continue to be an inspiration to me, and Im sure others.

Carry on, and Best, Farmboy

Well dang….Thanks for the 300 day chart. ( I think?)

I know ole Equisetum is a lover of the 300 Day Moving Avg….know that he too likes to see Gold touch that number….(we see it as a ‘Fire Sale’ sign at Macy’s…lol) But..But….720 ish????

Been around the block a few times on this golden trail. But ever seeing Gold again….at 720??? Phew….I guess one can hope, and pray. But something tells me, I best rethink things….perhaps a 200 Day chart is in order? (grin)

Reckon the US Dolla would have to enter a bear market rally…say to the mid 80’s….for gold to ever see 720 again. Bummer. Just dont see it happening.

Anyways, thanks for the chart, and the words of encouragement….and for doing all you do at the Tent. Look forward to your posts, and Winedocs coffee every morn and night. Figure, long as you two are manning your posts at the Tent….we gonna all come out the other side of this crazy world.

Best, Farmboy ( who aint so proud I can’t admit….I draw inspriation from most folks here. )

It’s like every car had a smash this week.  The insurance companies couldn’t cope.  They’d go bust because they couldn’t meet every claim.  That is what is happening with derivatives.  Everybody is claiming on the “insurance” at once.

 This is interesting: The very theory underlying all insurance against financial panic falls apart in the face of an actual panic. A few smart traders may have abandoned the theory, but the market itself hasn’t; in fact, its influence has mushroomed in the most fantastic ways. At the end of 2006, according to the Bank for International Settlements, there were $415 trillion in derivatives—that is, $415 trillion in securities for which there is no completely satisfactory pricing model. Added to this are trillions more in exchange-traded options, employee stock options, mortgage bonds, and God knows what else—most of which, presumably, are still priced using some version of Black-Scholes. Investors need to believe that there’s a rational price for what they buy, even if it requires a leap of faith. “The model created markets,” Seo says. “Markets follow models. So these markets spring up, and the people in them figure out that, at least for some of it, Black-Scholes doesn’t work. For certain kinds of risk—the risk of rare, extreme events—the model is not just wrong. It’s very wrong. But the only reason these markets sprang up in the first place was the supposition that Black-Scholes could price these things fairly.”

…Eclipse is spectacular….soon to be remembered as the….. Gold 2da Moon…..

Went outside a couple of times to view it, red moon.  Thanks for reminding me.

I checked my old files and that wierd spike in June of 2002 looks like a stockcharts misprint.  I have the high on the spike day as only 358, not ~550 as the chart shows.
