The Church of St Nugget 🤣🤣

Condor hasn't explored anything for a while, except the possibility of a career in farce for Child.

Not at all, I have actually made quite good experiences with semi-physical gold investments (ETCs).

But that was in the past, between financial crisis and “pandemic̶1;.

This was actually the time where interest rates went lower and lower, so owning gold was very positive.

Now the trend on interest rates has completely reverted, and productive assets will perform relatively better than unproductive assets like gold.

Anyway, I agree that Gold explorers are an even worse investment than physical gold, and this is why we are all here at the end.

[sharenotes] 07/3/2024 13:26

Is it possible that you are conflating poor investment decisions, particularly relating to gold exploration companies, and the merit of gold per se? Notwithstanding, it doesn’t really matter; I have enjoyed our exchange of views – have a good day.

[oldiegoldie] 07/3/2024 13:11

Indeed I am not anymore, but I was in the 0,5%.
I changed my opinion over time, which is quite rare (less than 0,5% of population are able to do that ;-)).

Getting out of the “church of St. Nugget” is harder than leaving Jehovah’s whitnesses

[sharenotes] 07/3/2024 13:07

I guess your are not in the 0.5% - and that’s fine.

[oldiegoldie] 07/3/2024 13:01

@ Sharenotes;: that’s a meaningless comparison, as wages have gone up etc.

It’s much more meaningful to compare how many hours (or days) the average man has to work for a piece of bread, a car, a house etc.

You will be surprised that the average wealth has significantly increased since 1914 and even more so since 1814

[oldiegoldie] 07/3/2024 12:57

Then the best is to move to Brazil, Russia, India or China …

Dex,

Interesting insight (?):

The Bank of England inflation calculator:



£10 worth of purchasing power:

Compare the periods:

1814 to 1914 and,
1914 to 2014

What do you think?

[dexdringle] 07/3/2024 12:47

Given a choice between a 'gold backed' currency and a 'FIAT' one, I'll take the gold backed one please....

When Bitcoin is (eventually) exposed as the Ponzi scheme that it is we might see a significant 'return to quality' effect in the price of gold.

[sharenotes] 07/3/2024 12:28

The eastern or BRICS central banks represent a fair chunk of the world, no doubt. Notwithstanding, I think the BRICS angle is overplayed. Retail investors have minimal, if any, impact on the gold price. Historically, western banks were not incentivised to procure gold, Also, a rising gold price exposes or delivers a stark reality check on the true intrinsic value of fiat currencies. I have seen a quote somewhere that less than 0.5% of the general public are aware of one of gold’s main attributes and that is maintaining purchasing power. It’s possible that the 0.5% figure may increase, but I would not hold your breath. More significant drivers of the gold price are the truly outrageous debt burden and the growing geopolitical risks around the world. With regard to the latter, I can’t see a ‘turnaround217; any time soon.

[oldiegoldie] 07/3/2024 11:43

Well maybe you (and KITCO) should be more precise and say: “Eastern or BRICS central banks are moving into gold”.

Their underlying logic is certainly not to buy an asset for let’s say 2000 US$ and sell it for 3000US$ after a few years and be happy, as the typical me-and-you retail investor.

These central banks try to establish a new, gold backed trading currency, for which they are now buying the underlying asset, a painful process for them, in US$.

This is a totally different approach and it’s not said that a new gold-backed BRICS currency would do significantly better than US$. Unfortunately it’s not that easy.
The thinking man’s reasoning is rather that increasing rates will lead to gold becoming a less attractive asset.

[sharenotes] 07/3/2024 11:22

Central banks around the world seem to be moving in rather than moving out:



Working on the presupposition that they have access to info that is not in the public domain; it’s probably worth noting, at least.

[oldiegoldie] 07/3/2024 10:58

Smart money is moving out.
(There will not be any FED rate cuts this year, few people seem to have understand that yet)

[dexdringle] 07/3/2024 09:55

...and the price of our fantasy gold is approaching $2,200 per ounce. Which is nice.

[oldiegoldie] 07/3/2024 09:47

21.5p, which is significantly above the all time low!
What a great day for the true master breed of investors - congratulations to you all

[dexdringle] 07/3/2024 09:31

Day up. Da-ay-ay-ay-up.
Here it comes but it wants to go down.

[book5] 07/3/2024 07:18

Another day up

[diggybee] 06/3/2024 07:21

Shortly after breakfast, or at least the first coffee.

[oldiegoldie] 06/3/2024 06:02

I bet Mark and Jim do important business at least once every day

[diggybee] 05/3/2024 23:26

He is not entirely sure where Nicaragua is. Down Fulham road and turn left is what he was told.

[goldholdgold] 05/3/2024 22:11

i also hear the CEO is now in Nicaragua on "important business". I think it is now or never for a deal. Will it be Calibre or China?

[book5] 05/3/2024 16:09

Calibre above Can $1.7
Now, I believe that with less than 10% of new shares, they could offer us an attractive share swap, 1 Calibre for 3 CNR. 33p equivalent

[book5] 05/3/2024 11:46

Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX: CXB; OTCQX: CXBMF) (the "Company" or "Calibre") is pleased to announce an initial open pit Mineral Resource Estimate for its 100% owned Cerro Volcan Gold Deposit (“Volcan”;) located five kilometres from the Libertad processing facility. The Resource, which was not included in the Company’s 2022 Mineral Resource statement, includes 508,000 tonnes of Indicated Mineral Resource averaging 1.83 g/t, yielding 30,000 ounces of gold and 1,788,000 tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resource averaging 2.28 g/t, yielding 131,000 ounces of gold. Combined, this average 2.0 g/t gold open pit deposit represents another opportunity given its proximity to the Libertad processing facility with in-excess of one million tonnes of surplus capacity. Requisite environmental permitting initiatives are underway with production anticipated in 2025.

Calibre can fill the spare capacity of La Libertad for two years with the above ore.

They keep drilling. The above communication is probably directed to CNR; get what you have on the table while you can.

Again, due to our greed, we could be bought by the Chinese, who most likely offer less, i.e. around the current share price.

News could come soon

[dexdringle] 05/3/2024 11:43

.....it's also called the Talk With A Top (investor) session. Guess the password for that 🤣
