Ken Clarke...man of principle Joey.Sorry but if you knew anyone involved in the tainted blood saga you may have a different view. Sorry about the off subject Matt.

Sven's starting to nick my lines....!

"It’s a nightmare for investor confidence, but it’s a dream for short term traders."






Further, he hasn't given up on this market/a year end rally yet, but...


"Bottomline: These markets are in big trouble again. Defending the 2009 trend lines for a 3rd month in a row seems an unlikely feat. Triple bottoms are rare and clearly we see liquidation in markets and very rash price discovery.

Working perhaps in favor for bears here is that we still don’t see any real panic fear spike in the $VIX as the $SPX range looks increasingly like a bear flag:"


and...



"Outlook: This coming week will likely be the defining moment for buyers and sellers. Sellers still haven’t been able to make new lows, but monthly trend lines are again at risk of breaking. Sellers need to break them this week and sustain a break below outlined support levels or risk getting run over by positive seasonality to come. Remember all headlines have turned negative for bulls, but still bears haven’t been able to capitalize other than chop inside the range. Buyers may need just one positive trigger to switch sentiment on a dime, but the proof would only come with a confirmed bottom which will require a weekly close back above the weekly 50MA which currently sits at 2742 $ES."

Its a shame Ken Clarke isnt younger and / or Michael Portillo is no longer in politics. Men of principles...

Well some interesting debate over the weekend, was pleased to pick up some more at 87p on Friday.

This week should be the week for serious news releases from Co's before Xmas, will we get the JORC I wonder?

Wan - Google "Silver" "JPM" and "Manipulation" and see what you come up with, there's articles enough out there on the theory/belief the Comex market has been rigged for decades.

[wanobi] 09/12/2018 15:36

some great stuff in there, not least of which;

"Manipulation of markets can work effectively in the short term. However, in the long term prices will be dictated by the global supply and the global demand of 7 billion people, many in Asia who believe in gold as a store of wealth. Not to mention, sovereign central banks such as the People’s Bank of China and the Russian central bank – who also believe in gold as an important monetary asset."

and

"We know for an absolute fact that precious metals prices are manipulated. (The evidence is absolutely overwhelming, and we would like to offer special thanks to GATA (and now Deutsche Bank) for proving it without a shadow of doubt over many years’ worth of tireless work.) Current prices of gold and silver are therefore fake, and in our view, far below what they would be in an honest market. When the Deep State Crime Syndicate loses control over prices, which could result from any one of a large number of likely developments, true prices will be re-established, a process that was occurring in 1980 and again in 2011 before being sabotaged both times. As fake prices are crushed and honest ones return, a global “herd” buying phenomenon could develop, as has happened in the past. This would lead to significant shortages of available physical metals and a meaningful increase in premiums. History has been clear that when it comes to precious metals, it is always best to buy in halcyon times, particularly if one can do so at a good price."

so, I guess the question is now when will true value out!?

Could be very interesting if one is positioned correctly at the time...…

thanx again conundrum for opening my eyes to this fact...

cheers Wan

[wanobi] 09/12/2018 15:15

not at all conundrum, your post is much appreciated, thanx, cheers Wan

[conundrum] 09/12/2018 14:04

A couple of articles re manipulation below as requested.
I haven't the time to look for better articles on the subject.

You may also wish to search for articles on the disconnect between the amount of physical gold in the world, and the amount of gold traded on the paper market.

Sorry my reply is short and rushed

[wanobi] 09/12/2018 11:58

certainly is another test week ahead for the markets, I still think 2600 is the big one Bumpa, break that and down we go to test 2400 and possibly beyond!!

winter of discontent, red robbo and the flying pickets, stagflation....
...ahhh, the good old days.

[wanobi] 09/12/2018 11:00

thanx conundrum, how do the banks manipulate the POG, its not just down to supply & demand then? cheers Wan

[conundrum] 09/12/2018 10:55

I have been reading that gold could reach $10,000 an ounce for many a year.

The price got close to $2,000 an ounce, since then the big banks have been manipulating the price of gold and silver, because they want the US$ to be regarded as a safe have and not gold.

Article below is from 2010, just to prove the story isn't new

[graylyn1] 09/12/2018 10:39

Cinoib, I very much remember the 70's I am 64 and my first mortgage payment nearly sunk me @ 17% interest we really don't want that! Trouble is people are not encouraged to save today or mend items that break, just get another loan, credit card or increase your overdraft throw it away and buy a new one. I have purchased many second hand items in my life to see things through without incurring extra debt. The whole system is just a mess imo. In my mind the Labour party is DEAD it is now the Communist party!

[wanobi] 09/12/2018 10:19

I suppose its a simple question really; in the next crash, will people run to cash or run to gold ? cheers Wan

[2sporrans] 09/12/2018 10:05

welcome zangdook.

as for the jewish lobby and netanyahu's thumb:

,,.....but i know that israel does not stand alone. i know that america stands with israel,, [bn quote]

but ain't Bibi feeling the heat a little of late?
those bribery charges seem to have him and his missus rattled:



tut tut.
shouldn't have tried those tricks at home bibi.


bettcha he comes out laughing though....yet again.

plenty of Gold bulls out there;

Gold To Hit New All-Time Record Highs In 2019 (On Route To A $5,000 – $10,000 Price Range Later On) April 21, 2018 49 5079
“Gold has been an unloved asset class for years but that is about to change. I am expecting a bear market in equities and rising yields as a…”
by Brian Delaney via GoldSeek
– ‘Powerful bull market’ will likely send gold to $5,000 to $10,000
– If USD & Treasuries keep falling, stocks may decline at ‘moment’s notice’
– Traditional portfolio of stocks and bonds will not protect investors
– “Gold will replace bonds as the go-to hedge”

some research that may help me;

What Did Smart Money Do In the 1929 Crash and Aftermath?
During the same bear market period smart-money moved from the plunging equity markets (i.e. financial assets) to hard asset investments, like Homestake Mining - which is used heretofore as a surrogate for all gold stocks. The stock price of this gold mining company soared relentlessly upward during the entire bear market. Homestake Mining stock rose continuously from $80 in October 1929 to $495 per share in December 1935 - which represents a total return of 519% (excluding cash dividends) during the devastating bear market period.

if that happened at AAZ I could retire :-)

also, During the severe 1973/74 bear market, stocks lost half their value - while gold mining companies almost quadrupled.

question is; will it be the same this time around, does gold still have its mystical allure?

cheers Wan

[wanobi] 09/12/2018 09:34

thanx Bumpa, I think the whole world is now expecting a crash, a lot speaking of the inevitability of the 'big one',,, bit like earthquakes I guess... when these things happen they happen very fast, so either one sits in cash and short term trades like your good-self, or one accepts the risk and stays in as it could be 2 years away or 2days!! who knows!

My approach is a bit of both I suppose, I have liquidated a lot of stocks recently that were in the red, I have 2 more in the red right now, one in tungsten, the other in oil, they may have to go soon depending upon what I see next week. As for AAZ, my average is around 55p so there is some headroom there, but I've lost on the others, so lets say 65p I can be out make some profit, stay in cash and look to buy in again around the bottom....

So, the problem I have right now...
1 - Will Gold rise in the event of a crash, I'd say yes, you?
2 - Will AAZ being a gold miner rise with it, or crash with everything else, I'd say I don't know, you?
3 - Should I sell down a lot of AAZ now to my breakeven cash point so what's left are free shares to ride out the earthquake - that's up to me and I'm undecided at this point.
4 - or, do I buy more AAZ if the 80p line holds and hope the markets are ok for a further 2 years - no idea, up to me to decide..

all good fun stuff at the moment, but should things turn really ugly it's my retirement funds on the line here!!! Risk management is a very tricky thing :-)


Cheers all, Wan

Macron-Trump was best summed up by the pictures of them planting a tree in the WH grounds followed by pictures next day of the site with no tree. Gotta love Trump.

But dragging s Chinese national off a plane and throwing her in jail for using a British bank to conduct business between China and Iran, just because the US government is under Netanyahu's thumb, is ridiculous overreach and won't end well for the US. Trudeau is even stupider than Macron.

back on topic, I made a maiden purchase and am now sitting at a loss...

[le0nard] 09/12/2018 09:01

I know you guys have lots of AAZ shares and well played to you for getting in early. But what do you guys have in the way of physical gold. Physical as in gold/silver you actually can touch not ETFs or futures contracts, because when the SHTF and the brokerages go belly up you will need it.
FYI AAZ is my largest holding by far.
