Would you like me to tap dance? Gold is making a long term parabola. Long as in a decade. Long as in ..........long. 1970's Hard peg at $35 to $800ish. Commodities trend better than equities. Like a smile, gold is as universal as it gets. "Dur de dur dur dur. Golly, what...

Actually, the trend is quite simple. Point A 1971 Point B 1980 Point C 2001 Point D. The here and now. Dealing with the low volatility consolidations and the high volatility shakeouts is the un-simple part.

Bullion in a bull since 2001. Miners (not talking juniors) have lagged. Have operating leverage and predictable but slightly variable cost of production. It's not over 'til the fat lady sings. Pre-mature ejaculation is better suited for bedrooms than trading screens.

Simple, central bank intervention. They won't touch silver. Greedy excitiable little munchkins will. Particularly at a much lower price level per oz. Silver also has industrial applications. Far better conductor of electricity than copper (faster and doesn't oxidize) but cost prohibitive.

Crowded as it may be, as extended as it may be, it can go higher. To paraphrase Orson Welles. "no wine before its time"

GSCO second only to the CBOE as the biggest den of thieves. It would be natural to "abandon" one of their own.

1. Volatility is the trader's friend. 2. This is a trading forum.

When you don't lend, you have to replace interest income with fee income.

So you're tired. So what? Greedy jerkoff? Where've I encountered one of those B4, Mr. Tea? Maybe just maybe IF you taken one of those dead languages, you spell douche bag. Hey, let's resurrect Countrywide Credit and have some fun, eh?

Thee ol' padded bra concept.

Jump in rates? Assuming you mean the long end, there is NO need for higher yield to entice when the Fed buys from the Treasury. We already have the steepest yield curve in history. Why would a bank lend when they can buy money at zero (demand deposits) or near zero (CD's and time...

1. You can't cancel a market order. 2. The slow fill probably stems from the ax not the agent. 3. When using market orders, particularly pertaining to liquidty (volume and spread) slippage should come as no surprise. 4. Hitler found Jews quite convenient to blame.

I can't resist this. Blocks are often negotiated between institution and specialist/market maker. In turn often with concessions. These negotiated blocks do NOT have to appear on tape (unless the ax wants to leave impression) thus rendering time & sales dubious. On the sell side, the...

1. Any Nebraska farmer that has dairy cows has drank/cooked with unpasteurized milk. I've never read/heard of any incidents of illness yet alone death. In fact, before Louis Pasteur, ALL milk was......eh.....unpasteurized. For centuries. 2. What exactly is a manure spreader used for...

Really? I'm inclined to thinking there is NO free lunch.

Allright, here's (3): GLNG, MAKO, DPZ

Sissss, This is the shortEST I've been in years. New highs on the OTC........oops, I mean Nasdaq??? Attached is a crude (not to be confused with Brent) Advance/Decline line dating to 2000.

Second Goldman Sachs almuni in less than a half decade. Hanky Panky Paulson let Lehman fail (but bailed out anybody else that requested). 1. That's bullshit. 2. 100 basis point clause IF Corzine replaces Geitner is utter bullshit. 3. Treasury secretary is an unelected appointed...

A 10 day "sample" is not statistically significant. Toss in the present "turmoil". Eight consecutive down days. Then add slippage. Then add the internal bias of having $$$ at stake rather than a detached external observation. Then..........stir.

1. Where'd the point and a half gap on SPY come from, Hood? 2. WHO capitalized upon it? 3. Do you know WHO you trade against? 4. Wasn't "thee market" concerned about a debt downgrade last week? Last month? 5. Fitch's already downgraded. BFD.
