If it were a bubble, just any old crap bullion coins and small bars would be scarce. As it is, only the top quality are scarce now.

Betcha ya can't take possession! And that it's a "pool." And a bucket shop.

Those of us who personally have experienced Peak Life tend to be more accepting of Hubbert's theory. We won't be extracting gold from the sea anytime during the period I plan to be making money on gold. For my "golden" years.

IMO you are getting "Ho hum" as a response because the only significance to expiration is that a good part of rollover day will be slow until the new contract gains volume. After that, it's just like every other day.

And we are in the age of Peak Gold.

Did he say he was going to short, haha? Beware the gold debugger who has no shorts!

Thanks, RN, I can always count on you as my white trash soul brother to speak verities. Trollbuster, we are outvoted. Clearly Jack is right. Good trading requires good character. I, and my wicked character, slink away humbiliated. "Adieu. Remember me."

Good points NeoRio, thanks. I must agree that regrettably there is a bare minimum standard of good character required to trade successfully. Fortunately that standard is not so high as to prevent one from guruing on ET. As I sit here musing on my own flaws, I will start the list of allowed bad...

SickTrader, what we saw here was typical megalomanic wannabee ET guru behavior. One good trade, and he thinks he is a genius. Destined to lead the Unrealites to escape from the clutches of evil Pharoll into the land of milk and money. He is not even a good false guru. Any ET guru worth his...

Thanks, BP. Very articulate. Can you explain why a trader has to give up his character? Both you and Nutmeg are responding in directions I could not have anticipated. This is very dark.

I heartily concur. I have followed this thread with great interest to determine if inbred degenerate cretins can learn to trade. I believe that the paucity of recent posting by readers and the OP alike has given me the answer.

Are you saying a focus on numbers depersonalizes? (Stalin: "One death is a tragedy. Millions of deaths are a statistic.")

Recently I suffered setbacks in my life and I have made virtues of those vices. Full retirement assures that conventional work does not interfere with trading, and vice versa. Severely reduced mobility makes it comfortable to remain in front of the trading screen all day. And diminished social...

I did not say that markets are random. I said that no simple systems work. And that testing simple systems yields random results.

Tuba, mirum spargens!

The simple answer is that all results for simple (read testable) systems are random. So no matter what method of optimization you use you are optimizing randomness. The only thing not random about it is your loss of money trading the optimized system. The corollary to my theory is that no...

It's an old joke: Headline reads: Third murder victim found sprinked with cornflakes. Subtitle: Police suspect a cereal killer.

Don't forget that tangibles over the millenia have also included cows' teeth and cowrie shells. I'm currently investing in .357 magnum cartridges.

Sorry. It's hot granny time again. Your turn, younguns.

I am a published author myself in an equally specious discipline, and I can assure you that it doesn't get you laid. So Rubb-me-ni is not only poor, he is horny. Which accounts for his beerish buyass.
