When it comes to elections of politicians I simply do not vote for any of them.
My reasoning is that when you vote you are in effect encouraging the bastards.
AS for Trump or Biden...there's a good example.
Biden sounds and likely is death warmed up.
As for Trump, a lot of what he says is complete and utter gibberish and it looks like he is becoming the World's laughing stock.

The problem with Biden is that he sounds like death warmed up when he opens his mouth.
I would say his odds of winning are 100 to one.
The trouble with Trump is there is very little between his ears, and when he opens his mouth it is mostly nonsensical gibberish.

Hi Papli. Have not seen comments from you for quite a while.

Does it matter if gold goes to $400-$800 ? No.. you have gold.

If gold goes to $20,000/ounce.. you would be an idiot to swap for dollars.

I will hazard a guess and suggest that at least 95% of the world's population (>20 yrs old) would be clueless as to how dangerous it is to leave money in a bank.
Depositors are unsecured creditors and are therefore at risk of not being able to get money out if and when they want, or more specifically, need it.
Now is as good a time as ever to take it out and swap it for real money !!!

Good stuff...

Just about the silliest article ever written on 24hr.Gold
Too many people are fixated on the "price" and stupid analysis of things like cost of production, so called shortages of supply etc.

That said,a cursory glance at a monthly chart of the gold "price" ($USD) will show that it is in a strong downtrend.

$700 remains a very real possibility.

Vindication! “Whistleblower” Andrew MaGuire Is What I Suspected All Along

Quite frankly I do not care if Maguire is a charlatan. I do not care if the D D called tops in silver and gold and advised everyone to sell.

Hoarders do not sell gold or silver except in exceptional circumstances and they keep on buying when prices are low.

My question to the Double D is...are gold and silver going to go lower or are they going to go up?

I would really like to thank Mr Dontrose for exposing Maguire, calling the top in silver, and copping it on the chin when people bag him.
His business must be really thriving.
Anyway why would he be interested in developing a business when he could make so much more money by shorting silver.

Hi.
When you trade in the futures markets you are opening a contract.

I assume that happens, but speculators close out the contract before expiry date as a cash settlement.

I agree. But is the author short in any way?
Lets say he is. I also think he should be very careful here as I am.
Easter holidays and likely very thin trade so I am on a breakeven stop.
I also believe there is no shortage of silver.
Silver is a monetary metal first and industrial second.

As Silver is currently taking a stab to the downside, I am now short covering my butt, albeit with a relatively close stop.

Did Bankers Deliberately Crash MF Global to Crash Gold and Silver Prices

JS Kim - Smart KnowledgeU

(20)

A very good point made here by frankkarl.

However it is likely that " their entire financial infrastructure" is dependent on what occurs in the future.
Small to medium mining companies are very dependent on guaranteed cash flow to continue to be operating.
Its not necessarily therefore purely about profit, rather the business about even staying in business.

There is no rationale for selling gold to buy silver on the basis of an increasing price difference between them.
If as a lot of people think that economic conditions will deteriorate, so too will the price of silver due to a lack of industrial demand.
By all means sell stuff you don't need and cash up.
A cursory glance at the Silver Chart (posted above) indicates a further bearish decline in price. ...
