There's no question. When physical supplies are practically non-existent and selling for 30-50% over paper prices on second hand markets, the paper/futures market is clearly fraudulent. After all, if you never have to deliver in the futures market, there is no danger in naked shorting.

You can't. In fact, today there are only a handful of futures brokers that will supposedly allow you to take physical delivery. In light of recent events, I myself looked into this, because there is a massive disconnect in price between the paper markets and the physical one. Silver...

You can indeed place such conditional orders with IB. You can do what you're asking with just the combination of the Conditional tab and the Basic tab in the order entry window. The conditional tab may be initially hidden, but it's there, and you can create whatever condition you want, and in...

Then why did you post this thread? LOL

Eventually I have no doubt there will be a calamitous crash. Just remember 2 things: Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. and Markets tend not to do what the vast majority of participants are positioned for it to do. So as long as this many people are...

So to be clear, you are keeping a portion of your capital at IB to continue trading, but considering that to be risk capital that you anticipate there is a chance of it disappearing due to financial system collapse? Actually, what you're talking about is not that radical an idea, given what...

So getting back to the original topic. While I agree cash will be the best option for those who aren't short, are you suggesting that your money isn't safe at IB, and that the brokerage is going to go under and take your money? It seems to me that would be the only reason to pull your...

Yes, of course. Quite right, quite right.

So if people in NYC are already health conscious and drinking super sized sodas is not a problem there, it begs the question... Why was this law passed then, if it is completely unnecessary and redundant? Add to that the fact that the law will not apply to drinks sold in grocery stores...

Romney screwed himself when he said he was going to fire Bernanke if elected. The Bernank likey his job. The Bernank want to keep his job. What's that saying about no good deed going unpunished?

It's for the best, really. Given what is coming in the economy over the next 4 years, better that it come crashing down on Obama's head. As Prechter recently said in a newsletter, with what is looming in 2013-2016, vote for whichever candidate you like the least. :D

This is exactly what will happen. As long as the GOP retains control of the House (they will), Obama is boxed in. The only stuff he has been able to do was either done in his first two years with a Democratic Congress (Obamacare), or simply the expiration of existing policy that requires no...

I'm sure you're right about others, this just happened to be one of the threads I checked out because I remembered Surf's infamous gold prediction thread from a couple years back and clicked on this thread to see what he was on about now. I never claimed he was the "only" poser, or that I was...

Not really sure I'd call my warning "dire", just that such self proclaimed market experts do indeed mislead a lot of folks by portraying themselves as more knowledgable than they actually are. But either way, if it floats your boat, enjoy.

Beware of anyone trying to impress others with predictions and threads positioning themselves as an "expert" looking for validation. The true experts and professionals are too busy making money for themselves to bother with such exercises or care whether others know about it.

Kinda like your adamant prediction a couple years back that gold would absolutely, positively not break above $1200, and would see $600 again first, right? LOL Maybe like a broken clock you'll be right this time, but your continued adherence to these predictions, rather than simply adjusting...

Or in Iran he probably would have been executed... http://www.benningtonvalepress.com/2012/07/iran-executes-bankers-for-embezzlement.html Those Iranians ain't all bad it seems. :cool:

Indeed. It seems with the rampant cronyism and government collusion ensuring there is no legal justice anymore, anyone who wants real justice will have to go "old school". On another note, anyone who would still invest their money with Corslime in a new hedge fund after all this absolutely...

One of the best I've found is Bob Rinear at investyourself.com. I've followed him since 1999, and he's beaten the market handily every single year, including some big time calls such as pounding the table for gold and silver in 2000 when no one else wanted them at $250 and $4/oz., being...
