Now maybe the margin hikes exacerbated the move or sped it up but they didn't cause it.<br /><br />Margin hikes are completely normal whenever a commodity becomes extremely volatile. They are done to keep people from blowing out their accounts. <br /><br />After what happened last week it's apparent they should have been raised much earlier.<br /><br />George Soro's just exited a trade that he thought was overvalued and at risk of an extreme correction. I was prepared to do the same thing. I just waited one day too long and then got caught in the $3 gap down on Monday morning. <br /><br />In hindsight I should have gone ahead and sold into that gap but at the time I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Governments are now free to print as much money as they please. They made gold irrelevant when Nixon closed the gold window. <br /><br />Hell if they didn't want anyone to own gold & silver then why in the hell are they minting gold and silver Eagles.<br /><br />Seriously you have to quit reading the GATA nonsense and just listen to your own commonsense.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556370683669428668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179384084412903332.post-28691067544639354212011-05-07T12:46:38.582-07:002011-05-07T12:46:38.582-07:00Gary or Toby, whatever, you have been wrong before...Gary or Toby, whatever, you have been wrong before,you are wrong now but so were or are all of us. You don't have to be bothered with it and all defensive about it.<br />You offer different perspective and i appreciate that.<br /><br />Anyway, it's quite obvious now that PM stocks are complete and utter waste of time and money.<br />They behave just like regular stocks and the problem i see is that people who invest in general stock market DONT invest in PM stocks, and on the other hand people who invest in gold and silver DONT invest in any stocks, including PM stocks. I know i don't.PM's at this moment in time are all about buying physical metal and nobody wants any part of Fraud Street including shares of PM companies.<br />At least, that's how i see it.<br />Cheerserihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17444492835640723908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179384084412903332.post-38344879753974671882011-05-07T12:39:38.392-07:002011-05-07T12:39:38.392-07:00I'm a big believer on the gold story and will ...I'm a big believer on the gold story and will continue to be for as long as the U.S. continues with it's monetary policy. However after seing what happened last week I'm scared. Not scared from doubts in the gold story, but doubts in how far the market manipulation will go.<br /><br />If the COMEX and CFTC can raise premiums on futures contracts whenever they want they will continue to fuck guys like us. Nobody finds it odd that Soros pulled out of SLV at $48 just hours before the COMEX started manipulating the market? It’s pretty obvious that somebody tipped him off…afterall he is the #1 donator to Obama. The way I see it the Gov't, the Fed and the Indexes will do whatever it takes to prove Keynesian Economics is the solution, how are we supposed to follow logic? <br /><br />Is this going to be the start of an era where all the speculators try to outdo each other in timing when the next big COMEX intervention is going to manipulate prices? <br /><br />Is this why Bernanke has no worries about commodities rising…claiming they're "transient" when we have 9% unemployment and a deficit we’ll never pay off on? It’s no secret that the Gov’t does not want Americans investing in gold…the only outcome of every American investing in gold would be currency collapse and a default on our debt. For as long as our markets aren’t free this serious rigging will continue. I read that the COMEX did this same exact shit in the 1980's when Silver ran up.<br />Does anybody think that if gold were to go parabolic the Indexes wouldn’t intervene with the end result of eliminating 4 years of gains?<br />I'm not running from precious metals anytime soon but I have extreme pessimism at the moment. <br />Maybe I’m being naïve and not seeing how guys like us can defend against this?JPDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17743263488051380241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179384084412903332.post-79581398629075586532011-05-07T08:25:17.670-07:002011-05-07T08:25:17.670-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556370683669428668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179384084412903332.post-36625228204159352922011-05-07T08:20:22.512-07:002011-05-07T08:20:22.512-07:00The simple fact is that I was ready to convert all...The simple fact is that I was ready to convert all silver holdings to gold last Monday. Unfortunately silver gapped down $3 on the open. I couldn't bring myself to sell into a $3 gap. Now with the benefit of hindsight I think any of us would think $3 was a gift.<br /><br />I certainly didn't have any idea we would see that kind of damage done in one week. No one else did either. If i had any inkling that silver would lose 25% in a week AI would have taken the $3 loss gladly.<br /><br />Sometimes the market just catches you. This was one of those times. If it wasn't for the correction starting premarket I would be sitting in gold with almost all gains intact.<br /><br />Unfortunately whats done is done so now we just have to pick ourselves up and get back to making money. There will be several more C-waves before this is over and a bubble phase at the end.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556370683669428668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179384084412903332.post-26264293899728980212011-05-07T07:54:24.548-07:002011-05-07T07:54:24.548-07:00Looking forward to weekend report.

Somehow your strong, sure, convincing post of "get ready for blast off" needed to be softened. Words<br /> like "maybe", "perhaps"," I am(Gary) confused" rather than "95% certain", "last chance to get in on the wave"...talk about a wee bit too much ego. Shame on me for needing to learn again how easy it is to lose money despite drum beating and the expert's certainty. Beware of certainty in stocks. Just another illusion.<br /> Would really like to hear an honest self assesment from Gary about the limitations of his system and his need to own his limitations.G Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12807733338553800977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179384084412903332.post-16937674314155725472011-05-07T07:36:22.864-07:002011-05-07T07:36:22.864-07:00I will answer that question in the weekend report....I will answer that question in the weekend report.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556370683669428668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179384084412903332.post-49328875384326772042011-05-07T07:23:45.217-07:002011-05-07T07:23:45.217-07:00gary - are you still thinking that silver could go...gary - are you still thinking that silver could go to $65 or 70 after this much deeper correction than previously predicted?

You wait.... Gold'll be at 10000 and the hedge funds'll still be batting the HUI like a pinball between 5 and 6 hundred!!! Mining shares are turning into a joke. Gary, I think that a lot of bulls and pundits here have unrealistic expectations of the shares. Clearly, it appears that physical gold and silver are investments, whereas the mining shares seem like trading vehicles. Do you think this will EVER change? I mean this is getting ridiculous. The other side of the coin says that when every last bull is exhausted from this nonsense, and the longer that process takes, the higher the shares will eventually go (as many "experts" would say). What say you on this? The mining shares are more oversold than I've ever seen, except for 2008 which is why I'm concerned. The shares still want absolutely nothing to do with this. What's your first instinct on this? I will look forward to your response as always.noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568699600542523083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179384084412903332.post-60350289379833858462011-05-06T11:07:11.970-07:002011-05-06T11:07:11.970-07:00Wrong about the bull market?
