Not sure if I’m in the right place or not??

I’m a retired currency trader of 22 years, understanding Capital flows and how the value of a countries currency effects trading the precious metals sector has been my focus these past few years. If I’m in the correct place and those here want to make some money, well please read on.

From 2000 to 2008 Gold was a pure currency trade vs the US$, the high gold produced was US debt ceiling and S&P downgrading US debt from AAA to AA+ related….my first chart

http://tinyurl.com/lgn3hus

Now we’ve all been told about the manipulation in the gold market, I’m going to show you what is driving Golds action since Nov 2012 as gold is being traded as a currency (which it is) just as the bull run from 2000 to 2008 was all about a devalued US$ as the Index fell 50 cents from 121-71 and everything that was priced in US$ was revalued higher be it, Oil, Silver, Uranium, Wheat, Rice, Copper etc

The trade in play now is $YEN….have a L@@K at these $YEN charts vs Golds value, notice where 99/101 $YEN caps golds advance

http://tinyurl.com/qhtezw2

The next chart is a Weekly $YEN chart that shows where gold has been and IF the devaluation of $YEN continues where it will go

http://tinyurl.com/p6y9aad

Last chart shows what those that Howl at da moon regarding Gold and it being manipulated do not want YOU to see….$YEN traders as they sell yen and buy US$’s are putting on a gold sell trade at the same time, no manipulation, just a pure currency trade….notice todays trading action as $YEN weakened by almost a full cent gold retraced $22 from $1272 to $1250

http://tinyurl.com/ovcvvy8

So again I have no idea if this gold tent blog is about making money or watching the world go by???

I post at another blog which is all about making money, not whining about golds value for those that understand how to read basic charts….. no fancy Ewave, Fibs or trend lines the members are excellent and the head site guru is a great guy along with a fantastic tech support….join us and make some $$$$$$$

Europe a mess Meir was a mess Yen going down and economy declined, yuan always wants to lowball everyone else that leaves the US for now.

Agnico Eagle to Acquire Cayden Resources

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/agnico-eagle-acquire-cayden-resources-210000215.html

Sorry to tick you off. Discuss what you want. I am not aware of anyone on this board being more bearish then myself. And, I have been correct, yet lonely in this analysis. I don’t enjoy it. I make far more money when the PM stocks go up rather then down…despite puts. I was going to post exactly when I was going to sell those puts. Now, I think it will be better to just stay silent. It was my intent to help shield Gold Bugs from the monetary pain of this decline. I surrender and wave the white flag….Peace and Prosperity to you all.

Good for you! You showed us! Why don’t you tell us where pm’s are going next? I agree with you probably lower, much lower, always lower. Sorry to talk about Putin and Shakespeare, clearly they have no bearing on always manipulated pm’s.

Good God man, we all know you’re short SLW, be a gracious winner for crying out loud. Geez.

BTW – NO, gold going up in a sustained manner is far rarer than effing reality.

Stop and seize

Aggressive police take hundreds of millions of dollars from motorists not charged with crimes

After the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the government called on police to become the eyes and ears of homeland security on America’s highways.

Local officers, county deputies and state troopers were encouraged to act more aggressively in searching for suspicious people, drugs and other contraband. The departments of Homeland Security and Justice spent millions on police training.

The effort succeeded, but it had an impact that has been largely hidden from public view: the spread of an aggressive brand of policing that has spurred the seizure of hundreds of millions of dollars in cash from motorists and others not charged with crimes, a Washington Post investigation found. Thousands of people have been forced to fight legal battles that can last more than a year to get their money back.

So let’s discuss anything but…Shakespeare, Putin, Illegals….anything, anything but, the PM market…right?  Much too painful. Oh well, Slw closed it’s gap but I didn’t cash in just yet. More to go IMHO.   REALITY is really rarer then Gold.

Yeah how ironic. See what happens if you did that in Mexico and are they still holding that soldier?

S&P down and PM stox less than 3 % down….where are the scum…still partying in the Hamptons ???????

what crap.

OH right I’m suppose to be positive….food for thought in the positive dept.

Father Of Man Killed By Illegal Alien Takes On Obama

Human Cost: The point above, made to President Obama by a grieving father whose 25-year-old son was run over by an illegal alien who won’t be deported, underscores the high price of open borders for U.S. citizens.

That grieving father, Donald Rosenberg, has put another human face on the growing problem of importing crime through the Obama administration’s tolerance of illegal immigration.

His plea also highlights the White House’s refusal to deport those who shouldn’t be here after they do grievous harm to Americans, sometimes even killing them.

In a letter sent to Obama last month, Rosenberg, a self-described “lifelong, very liberal Democrat,” said his son Drew, run over and killed by an illegal alien in 2010, would still be alive if Washington consistently deported illegals who have conflicts with law enforcement.

Open-border advocates would argue that his son could have just as easily been killed by a U.S. citizen. True enough, except that he wasn’t, and the fact is the odds of American citizens being victims of any crime would be reduced if our borders were secure and alien criminals were being deported.

Rosenberg’s son was killed when Robert Galo, an illegal alien who had been here since 1998, made a left turn and crashed into Drew, who was riding his motorcycle home from law school.

It was a slow-speed crash and nothing serious might have happened had not Galo, who was driving without a license, “drove over (Drew’s) body a third time,” Rosenberg said in his letter, “in an attempt to flee.”

Five months before the fatal crash, police stopped Galo for driving the wrong way on a one-way street in San Francisco and, again, driving without a license and having no insurance.

Ipso – It will be a very cold winter in Europe if they go through with those sanctions. The Euro Kings and the weak US Regime haven’t quite figured out yet that Putin plays for keeps, not marbles. While the technocrats in Europe continue to believe they have power and the neocons continue to wage war, they fail to recognize that they don’t have any cards left to play. The west is a failing fascist, corporatist, foolishly indebted empire.

My only hope is that Putin is not a NWO tool like Obama.

R640 – thanks for the Shakespeare, every word true, with unbelievable insight.

What else is the whole life of mortals but a sort of comedy.  In which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and mask, walk on and plays each one his part, until the manager waves them off the stage.

The Seven Ages of Man

William Shakespeare

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
5 His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms;
And then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
10 Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
15 Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
20 Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
25 And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

A new chapter in this clusterf*** starts when the first snowflakes fall. Better fire up those coal burning power plants!

Europe’s Russian Sanctions In Jeopardy As “One Country” Holds Out

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/08/2014 11:29 -0400

Damage Control begins:

 

 

As ‘rumors’ of European sanctions against Russia’s major oil energy firms are leaked strawman-like to the market and expected to be enacted as soon as tomorrow, it appears there is a ‘glitch’ in the union. The FT’s Peter Spiegel reports that one country is holding out on EU sanctions and that is the reason for an emergency unscheduled meeting of EU diplomats this evening.

No way in hell the scum lets gold go up in a SM meltdown. Absolutely no chance.
