Good thinking. Imagine the insanity if everybody used the same paradigm.

OK. You know yourself better than I. I know from my own experience that daytrading short a rising stock is no less intelligent than going long; the trick ( that works for me ) is to wait for the days that the high for the day is likely to occur on or shortly after the open. Profit-taking...

Maybe your "stupid voice" and your "voice of reason" are one and the same; it's just that, in hindsight, you put all your bad trades in the stupid file and your good ones in the reasonable file. After all, in spite of all the general TA pretensions to "reason", all trades are ultimately...

Thanx.

A computer can be programmed to play chess because the elements of the chess-system are readily identifiable, and their possible dynamic relationships can be modelled (comprehended) by the computer's programmer. A stock, commodity, or index, on the other hand, is a pseudo-system by way of...

Any idea where to get the long/short ratio on the London cash markets? COMEX ratio is 3/1 which would make a short squeeze unlikely. A shakeout seems mor probable. On the other hand, the longs are mostly big speculators who mightn't be so easily panicked; they might even be actual...

Greenspan's policies should result in Stagflation, Hyperinflation, or Deflation. If it's Deflation, how do you think gold will fare? Anybody know a free website that tracks M3 ?

Given the monster speculative long position, do you anticipate any particular negative/positive effect on options expiry? Do you think many contracts will be called for delivery, given that real physical buyers are pretty scarce at this price level? IMF announced Thursday that it will...

Strictly equities. PDG in particular because it's a good mover and is very reactive to the bullion price. Also, it's fundamentally sound. I"m in and out every day. Doing OK with it, even though I'm an independent and pay full commissions. Also, on the side, I trade chunks of Canadian...

Gold closed +2.80. USD pretty flat. Not a really impressive day, given the weekend-IRAQ/Al Qaeda factor. Looks like the equites markets have a pent-up urge to go up. If the weekend is quiet, gold and Composite stocks may diverge Monday.

Gold firming up at midday. This might be just the weekend-Al Qaeda effect. Gold equities a little weak - probably due to strong competition from COMP.

Actually - in this particular communication you are right. A belated acknowledgement that I should have conceded your point - and I promise not to indulge in immoderate thread titles any more. Apologies to you and to all.

Thought it would be nice to open a thread for short-term gold traders. ABX forswore forward selling this morning. So much for the theory that there's a zillion tons of producers' gold waiting at 400.00. That leaves only one major impediment to short-term bullishness for this...

Yes, Chasinfla said it well, but I'm a trifle miffed that you characterize my own communication as an "attempt" at expressing myself. Oh, well - in any case, thanks for the input. Have a profitable day.

Well put, RM.

Just hoping to survive. By the way is that gabriel as in Gabriel - the angel? Shouldn't you be playing a harp somewhere instead of trying to beat people for their pension money? Oh - excuse me, your holiness - of course you only "invest"; you never trade.

Whew! At last - hold off the dogs while I take a break.

Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe they've been short the whole industry since they caused airline operating expenses to skyrocket 9/11. There is no economic wall around the free world - and how can any government agency track billions of transactions every day, given that half of them take place...

I thank R. Metal for giving me the opportunity to prove once and for all that I'm not irretrievably stupid.
