They go up more?

Just interested to see how sentiment is shaping up. Yes Mr. Bernanke you're allowed to vote here too.

It seems to me that the most bang for your buck should Japan's fiscal conditions continue to deteriortate would be put options on JGBs, although I'm having a hard time finding anywhere where it would be possible (as a retail investor) to put on this trade. Has anyone come across brokers that...

Google the term if you must. Hyperinflation devestates the middle and lower classes. The wealthy are traditionally fine if not better off because they own the assets. And HYPERinflation refers to 3000% over a matter of months, rather than 30 years so it is much more dramatic than anything you've...

$1705 gold....wonder how much gold stocks will be DOWN tomorrow. Or will they finally, finally, finally become the leveraged play that they should be?

And there it is again today. GLD down about 0.5% and GDX down 5-6%. Are you guys on this trade yet???

Another week of easy money. Gold breaking out to new highs and the GDX gold share index down about 9 %. How easy is this trade? Let 'em rally a bit and then short 'em. Or just go long GLD/short GDX. AEM 52 week lows. NEM, GG, ABX getting killed after their earnings reports. Simple....almost too...

Easy money today. Gold barely down, gold stocks crushed. This trade will blow up some day but free money for now thanks to the market's stupidity.

Okay here it is: I've been a gold/silver bull as a long term thesis for years. I've chosen to play this through the gold stocks because as we all know, they have the leverage to rising prices, right, right? Well, f3ck that. It hasn't worked. Sure some of the small names have been great but then...

Doesn't the fact that it is cheaper to buy right now rather than find and produce mean that it is in fact a cheap asset??? You've contradicted yourself here.

I agree. Go to the media. They love stories of the "little guy" getting screwed. As well they should. Why should we bail out the computer programs (which were obviously the only ones selling down there)? It's their program that screwed up, they should be forced to pay the consequences.

Okay so the euro "rally" lasted a few minutes. I'd call this very bearish action

Should be an interesting day for the euro after the Greek "bailout". If the euro cannot sustain solid gains over the next couple days than a real death spiral of selling could occur and contagion spreading to other countries. Any thoughts?
