In fact today, I saw two vulchers sitting on the top of a tree and I thought to myself at the time……. hey come down here and take what you can cause it isn’t going to get much better going forward.

Buy with WHAT!!!!   My good looks were gone years ago and now,  so is my money.

But investing in selected stocks for short to medium term (six months to two years) has been a vastly superior investment strategy over the same period.

The thin red line I mentioned last week seems to be doing it’s job,

likewise gold level suggested is holding well, miners are just plain sucking….

Funny no one has mention it,usd is 7cents higher than the sept high and yet gold is even with it’s sept low.Pretty good relative strength, yet the miners still suck

Thanks……. now BUY BUY BUY go to coin dealers in Cancun and find out what they have

Just got in and saw your note.  Congrats on today.  I said a few for you.

I’m exhausted.  We have put 1350 miles on our rental car in 6 days and we have got blisters to prove it.  Today we went to Chichen Itza, John calls is Chicken Pizza.  It was great but the 115 one way trip took 3.5 hours.  UGH.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Your secretary/treasurer’s remarks at the New Orleans Investment Conference in regard to the freedom to own gold in the United States, Russia, and China prompted a response from Adi Hadi of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China, emphasizing the point those remarks meant to make. Hadi writes:

“Your remarks give a deep look into reckless manipulation of markets in the so-called ‘Free World.’

“I live in China — as a foreigner of German origin — and I can buy in a public shop just around the corner as much physical gold or silver as I want and I can keep it in my personal possession. When I buy, nobody asks me for my name, address, or any identification, and I can take the bullion with me right away. …

“If you consider rigging and manipulating markets to be a necessary component of what you call a free country, than I must admit that you are right. But I would prefer to live in a country that protects me from those market manipulators and lets me have as much gold and silver I wish, and call it my own.”

Hadi sent along a photograph of a decorated thousand-gram gold bar available for sale in China. The cartoon characters emblazoned on the bar seem happily indifferent to the few U.S. banks that are desperately suppressing gold and silver on the New York Commodities Exchange. You can view the bar here:

“Look at where following them has led.”

……..I have followed Murphy Sinclair Russell et al for this whole Decade….and a few years before that…..

………and investing in Physical Gold has been the best investment strategy during that time !

………Put the Gold Chart up against any other ….since January 1 00……and you will see what I mean……look at last nights post of Ratio Charts ……….If you are talking about Gold Stocks….well there’s the rub…….But also if you are talking about holding cash instead of Metal….that has been a real loosing Proposition in every Country in the World !

TQ please take 2 minutes to read this list
and tell me which one of these you are saving your wealth in

Sydney Harbour foreshore owned by Maritime Services Board, been in public ownership since settlement, must be 40km waterfront of absolutely prime property.  Being sold off wharf by wharf, headland by headland, private beach and bush by the the metre, reserves and quarantine stations now exclusive private pay to use recreation…etc etc.

Thanks for posting the Bill Cara blog.

I like what he writes here:

‘ Volatility is the key to this market and I believe it will take time to settle down to where a new Bull can result from the current cycle bottoming process. Personally, I don’t have any particular sense of this timing because the panic in and panic out seems to be non-stop. But the industry group key to me is the US Retailer, which represents the consumer, and they are all in trouble — so I agree it’s going to take some more time for bail-out programs to work into the system. ‘

This is a new theme for me to watch; I am watching oil and the $BKX as leading indicators at the moment. I think that they will be among the first to show that he liquidity transfusion has brought the patient back to life.

Maybe Qld is different but in my town, Sydney, I can think of a few privatisations of goverment stuff;

toll roads in every direction, Sydney Harbour tunnel, state govt still trying to sell power generation utilities, desalination project, most govt maintenace by contractors, Public housing leasebacks from private investors & managed by private rental agents…..dadada

Not big chunks but nibbling away, hidden under the radar, public don’t notice the changes until it is too late.

I have read your post.
