I'm sure that you agree with me that Al Qaeda does not consist entirely of mindless fanatics and peasants; some of them are very sophisticated and would have no difficulty in setting up means of access to legitimate markets. Never underestimate the enemy - especially an enemy that appears...

Better a rich Zip than poor Zoodle.

I resist the temption to play on the irony of your typo. If we wait until we KNOW something or have solid PROOF for a position we'll never initiate any discussion. Any position can be debated, no matter how much or little "proof" is behind it; there is no ultimate truth that is available...

Do you think the U.S. intelligence agencies are investigating yesterday's trading at this very moment? If they aren't my theory is not stupid - Al Qaeda can trade and get away with it; if they are my theory is not stupid - Homeland Security agrees that Al Qaeda trades the markets...

True. I trust I helped you out.

I trade golds every day. The action last night was strange. My theory is just based on the probability that an unusual factor motivated the gold sector in the last hour. With the coincidence of the bombing of British interests, Al Qaeda seems a likely suspect. Granted, it's speculation...

Do you follow Placer Dome? Not crazy about the price/volume patterns, but it often rises on diminishing volume then hits a high volume day that rationalizes the trend. After today's big correction from last night's close a brief back-and-fill is desirable but do you think it should be bought...

Why don't you just admit that your theory that it was just a stupid theory is just a stupid theory?

What you're saying is true - a single big fund buyer could move the market - but if you check the 5-day charts for any of the big golds you'll see that last night's buying had an urgency to it that can't be reasonably accounted for even by the customary irresponsibility with which fund...

Like any organization, Al Qaeda has its operating costs; they need money - lots of it. Some Al Qaeda backers are multimillionaires (eg: Bin Laden); you can be sure that those backers maintain their monied status by "investing" just like other rich people do. To think otherwise is willfully...

It is a challenge - especially given that sometimes the insiders miscalculate. If Al Quaeda did hope to cash in today they must be feeling a tad disappointed; gold is weak and gold stocks are selling much below yesterday's close. Nevertheless, when we see an entire sector moving strongly...

..and you are probably barely literate. I apologize if my arguments are too esoteric for you. Struggle on.

No. But - is saying "Maybe Soros is shorting more $$$" any more thought-stimulating than "Soros is shorting more $$$" ? In any case, I don't pretend to be objective; anybody who does is deluded. Must we have "proof" before we take positions - especially on issues for which proof is...

No matter what your interpretation of a set of events, your conclusions are based on a basic human need to find meaning in all things. Whether you accept an hypothesis or not is a function of your own world-view. All interpretations are subjective - because even the most supposedly...

Maybe. Maybe not. Let's see how things develop. If Bush is attacked in London, gold @ 450.00.

At 3:00 yesterday afternoon, every major gold producer listed jumped in price and closed at or very near its high. For most of these stocks, the day's highs were 52-week highs. There was no news or technical development to account for this amazingly coordinated buy-in. At 4:00 A.M. this...

Although gold behaved poorly today - failing at 400.00 - there was a terrific upsurge in all the major golds beginning at precisely 3:00 p.m. (check the charts) . There was no news, no technical signal - nothing - to motivate this seemingly coordinated buying. Was this window dressing...

Anybody know what motivated all the panic buying in golds in the last half-hour of trading? Just funds-manager assholes desperate for a place to park their money?

so far very subdued. broke 400.00 in Asia and nothing happened. backing and filling to take another run..or drifting down, now that the magic number proved to be a bust?

today could be a big one for gold. 400.00 expectations have created a lot of tension. alot of stops could be triggered either way.
