Seasonal tendency so far not playing out in gold

[dividend]

when bernanke didnt "taper" that was the time to get out of gold and silver

investors holding onto gold on the way down remind me of dot com investors holding as the bubble collapsed

in the context of higher interest rates gold wont go up, and neither will commodities. even during the syria escalation crude went up only a couple of bucks.

they've been saying that the US will collapse since 1776, but people's investments accounts will collapse first if they stay invested in gold/silver

You probably right in the short term, but I would disagree to compare gold to the dot com bubble. The bubble is in the USD in the LT, and paper currencies generally.

Quote from jeb9999:

An average price chart over N years disguises the movement of each individual year.

Over the last 8 years gold went up in 6 Septembers. The 2 down Septembers were 2006 and 2011.

Is 75% good enough for you?

==========================
Jeb 9999;

Well while plenty of money has been made in metals with %% MUCH lower than that; but no,75%goal not good enough for a HI %% trade, for me .

Not saying ANYONE can hit a goal all the time;
or even a Hi % goal, nor am i suggesting anyone even aim @ that number, but gold,GLD is trending up on most timeframes

. Not a prediction, wisdom is profitable to direct

For anyone interested in actually investigating seasonality in gold, or looking for some fundamental info, you should google "indian festival 2013 that use gold".

Check out the Diwali festival and it's correlation to the gold price for example... don't bet your house on it though.

September didn't work, but October has a negative seasonal tendency for gold. We'll see how that goes.

Quote from blakpacman:

I'm reminded of the old Jake Bernstein late night infomercials telling you that you simply buy on this date and sell on that date to make an "easy" seasonal tendency profit ... not.

Hahahaha, you remember that infomercial too, Blakpacman? Jake even have 200 years of data on corn and wheat to back up his claims

That said some of Jake Bernstein books do have some merits, especially the Complete Day Trader I and II.

Sell your gold silver platinum palladium and copper.


Buy USD, EUR and JPY !!!!!!!!!

Quote from Zr1Trader:


Buy USD, EUR and JPY !!!!!!!!!

"Buy USD!" has absolutely no meaning, you need to sell a currency to buy another currency.

Same thing for EUR and JPY, one currency must be exchanged for another.

Correct way to say it, for example : "Convert your gold to Swiss Francs and buy USD" (Now you are betting that the USD will appreciate against the Swiss Franc)

Site below has data on the etf GLD's # of tonnes. It continues to make new lows as investors divest themselves of GLD, thus putting some downside pressure on the gold price.
