Wake up - the "regulators" are only there to give you the impression of safety and to stop the small time scammers. When it comes to what is good for the big players the "regulators" don't do a damn thing. If you can't see that after watching the market for a few years you'd better stop trading.

According to Keynesian economics you just found an ingenious way to jump start our economy. Ssssshhhhh - don't give Bernanke any ideas.

Well, it's not as if we or Obama have much integrity left anyway. Apparently our last shreds of equitability or popular support in the Arab World are a small price to pay for Israel's safety.

Not 100% sure but I think "Asset Strategies International" delivers to Canada. If you are looking for a Tulving sized order they should be able to quote you almost as good a price if you mention the Tulving quote first. Also why not just call local dealers with more flexibility than Kitco...

ETF has advantage of convenience and a low buy/sell spread. Physical silver (bars) have advantage of: no annual fee (around 1% I believe for ETF); no annual 28% cap gains tax (you pay only when you sell the physical silver so it can be scheduled better or likely avoided all together)...

That's like saying the best way out of the frying pan is to jump in the fire.

I don't get the point of repeating these rumors (which in the case of Pd have been circulating for years). Do you really think you are going to move the market and capitalize, or is it so much fun to repeat unbacked rumors?

There's a reason the savings rate in America has fluctuated around zero for a decade. People have figured out that under our current policies the average individual "saver" will eventually lose. My personal advice would be to put the money into insulating you house or buying a more fuel...

Ah.. the annual "Russian stockpile depletion" article. Been hearing this for 5 years now. Not that I wouldn't mind, since I hold quite a bit of physical. The article also leaves out negative price factors such as enormous efficiency improvements in the next generation of catalytic...

I agree they should have general daily correlation in movement in the absence of company news (and I thought this was the case for most companies). Your first post said you "occasionally" saw divergent movement - which I agree is probably due to large player stock purchases/sales or inside...

Hey Stephan, Since you are into psychology and seminars I think you really might benefit from the "Landmark Forum". When you research it you'll see some naysayers - which is generally the case with anything that effects profound change. Honestly from reading your posts, I'm sure if you make...

Interesting topic. A computer nerd friend went over all this with me a year ago. My immediate and lasting concern was just what achillies pointed out - the government and banks will stop at nothing to shut bitcoins down as they catch on. Ultimately the banks/gov will likely attempt to...

Watch it long enough and you'll see the stock price go to zero every time as the reserves deplete or the company has a run of bad management. On a short time frame though, as you can guess, there can be countless reasons. Perhaps a worsening political/regulatory environment, bad...

Interesting topic. First I think simply trading will tend to diminish the ego over the years. Also, I try to view trading as simply finding the truth. A scientist for example generally accepts new knowledge and quickly moves forward - because they are trained to focus on data and not...

Have to agree with the earlier post - it is sad. A lot of young kids fresh from the propaganda mill of high school simply have no idea what they are getting into when they run up massive non-dischargable college debt at a high interest rate. As someone else said, it used to be the mortgage...

funny how the media gets to frame the debate around preventing Iran from getting nukes. wouldn't it be nice if they ever questioned the idiocy of the US giving nukes to Israel - probably the country most likely to use them.

What do you expect the media to do - explain that the central bank has destroyed the value of the currency? Some of the sheep are never going to get it, and will spend their lives bleating after bogey men. But hey, at least they'll make a good supply of cheap manual labor in the future.

Well, since the Dow is in strong backwardation and gold is in strong forwardation - looks like Buffet and his fanboys are going to make a fortune if this bet is right. Seriously though, investment managers don't put out stories like this except to shore up a shaky position, book a quick...

Actually if it were truly socialist, the American people would have at least nationalized the insolvent banks when we bailed them out. I'd say this is more like outright theft - we bail them out, the oligarchs take our money and go back to business as usual.

I sympathize with you Big Candle. But the question is what can we do? As you mention, Ron Paul is the only candidate with even a miniscule chance of changing this and other travesties of US foreign policy, but his total support among Americans is probably just a few percent. You, I, and most...
