Who exactly is buying?

Quote from S2007S:

Gold and silver getting knocked down hard again tonight.

I find it funny how everyone was predicting 2000 and 5000 gold and now its falling faster than they can sell....why im saying this is because the reversal happened so unexpectedly that just like silver and gold the same thing can happen to equities. Just when you think they can keep moving higher and higher the drop comes.

You seem so clueless, the Gold sell off was not sudden or unexpected. Sorry, but your overdramatic bs just doesn't sell amongst real traders.

Four years of you spamming this board with screaming about bubbles and how the next great crash is coming imminently in everything.

"I'd say the opposite: FED is trying to keep everything at "normal" levels. And this is the problem"
people who believe that you can print money and believe it will insure a vibrant economy has been proven by history to be dead wrong. you cannot inflate your way to a healthy economy. it has never happened.


the problem is on the fiscal side. there is too much government regulation and government debt.
printing money leads to bubbles and non productive activities as people try to protect themselves against a depreciating currency.

the market is too high based upon economic activity. it is at this level because investors are anticipating inflation. even though gold is off its high it is up 4x in 10 years. if that is not a predictor of inflation what is?

Given that there are no signs of inflation and interest rates aren't likely to rise much if at all for two more years, your post has quite the opposite message to me. It suggests the long Gold move might be somewhat of a bubble ( I've held this belief for two years. but don't pretend to know what speculators can do in the short term ).

History suggests any big move in Gold gets countered eventually. You can say "this time is different", but given the lack of utility for Gold its a risky position to take. And from what I've seen on gold stocks, they seem to be foreshadowing a belief in the markets that Gold itself may drop a lot more ( this has been true for months so its a little dated now ).

If you disagree you can pick up a lot of Canadian miners at dirt cheap prices now. Might be an opportunity.

Quote from kashirin:

gold is down for the same reason equities are up - because Fed wants it

why to be mad? we entered parabolic phase - it can't continue for long,although it can go very high
parabolic phase can bring 500% blow off top easily from the bottom
so S&P 2500 in a year is not out of question

whatever, daytrader should care less
just observe and profit every day

2500 is probably a given. I don't disagree, but the next collapse will cut the spx in half back below 1200.

Going to take a while, but it will happen ...

the pathetic thing is

you never make any money on these moves

you predict them, but never bet on them

you still can't understand how people make money from markets that behave irrationally

you sit there and bitch, day after day, but you never make any money

you will never bet until a market makes sense

and that may be a long time coming

and if you really knew how stupid most people are, it would make perfect sense, and you could bet on it

I'm not betting on what the next toss of the dice will be, I'm betting on how much they will bet on it

you should read up on japan they had deflation for 20 years and everybody owns bond. they all want out so its pushing the yield higher and as you see the nikkei is up 2% today. now the derivatives all tied to low interest rates. the government debt is very high and they would blow up if there had to pay higher rates on debt paper.

Same thing here in the US...with so much debt the smallest increase in interest rates to just 1% would wreak havoc on the system ...that's why interest rates will stay low for at least 5 years...and there is no such thing as an exit plan when it comes to BUBBLE ben bernanke and friends.
