(WANKA) Aug 11, 23:13

Good evening to you kind sir. As I see it on the charts [and I know everybody in the world sees it to] 425 area is very powerful resistance. I’m shooting for that area in my contract holdings to date, and will add to positions on corrections after breakouts [short term] working towards 425 area.

When [and I feel confident not to say if] the target area is reached, and there is no strange economic happenings, I will liquidate my longs, and hedge my physicals. Also probably cash out the fund looking for a re-entry at lower price [whatever that may be at that time].

After a correction and using fibo retracements etc. I will look to re-enter contracts, cover my hedge, and continue the ride in the club car on the gold train.

I promised to keep you apprised of my trades and shall so do as long as it does not violate the forum protocols.

Mr. C this is only one mans opinion without crystal ball. But I do roll my bones and read the chicken entrails…

Good trading Mr. c and see you in the club car.

You are most welcome Mr. c. I put on long Dec. silver this morning @4.85 inside the gap [4.82-4.87]. We shall see.4.84 low on the day so far lucky shot, expected possible gap fill to 4.82, learned long ago to fade the number. [Allow breathing room]–good trading

8/13/   13:35

ps: placed entry with to tight a fade of fibo 357.10 basis Dec. to further add to positions @ 357.20 this morning with no fill. Chased it a tad but got away. Hindsight says “a little broader fade 357.50 ish” or an mit order. Hindsight is always 20/20.—-good trading

 

mr.copper —closed contract positions today entered from mid july thru early aug. in g&s and am flat…

(WANKA) Oct 30, 14:11

as i have promised in the past, at your request to keep you posted, the 3rd try at breaking the mid 90s area met with failed attempt so maybe more time is needed to make a responsible break to 400. powder dry and looking for lower prices for re-entry.

goodtrading and viva500 mr c

So Sorry to hear about Wanka:

Mrcopper re 12:47

(WANKA) Aug 08, 13:35

we have chit-chatted in the past on trading , and although i have no experience with individual stocks [ i use a fund to trade] i, as i believe you may recall, trade contracts. if i go long/short and the contracts meander for a period of time, or i guess as you say flatline, i blow them off for a small gain and perhaps look at them another day. the time periods are very subjective. for me i

may give contracts 5 to 15 trade days to produce movement. the fund is another story. that may be many months in the holding. [part of core] but the point i’m trying to make is i dont hold dog positions for long, because there is always another trade elsewhere that has direction. case in point. was in dollar short for about 15 trade days and seen it going nowhere so blew off the contracts for a 65 tic gain. re-shorted at a higher value on 7/31 and blew it off on 8/6 for a 50 tic gain, because again it was going no where fast. i’m expecting a fall in the dollar to at least test the lows at 92. conversly my gold positions are a-ok and you could not pry me away with a crowbar. my anticipation this year is the 425 area, at which point i would clear my longs and position shorts as a hedge against my [ also core holdings] physicals.[all subject to change based on whats happening then] i know this post is a little windy but i’m trying to get a trading point across that has served me well through the years.hope this helps—–goodtrading mr c

comex futures only for pms. and futures only for other mediums–stock index, bonds 30 yr, euro/dollar. [no pork bellys please]. i have the same capability with the series trust i use for trading sm and bond indexs [long or short]and pm stocks and 25 or so other sector funds in the same series trust.

i’m comfortable to leave the choice of stocks in a pm fund to the fund manager and would rather focus on the market as a whole.

index funds are a different creature because the fund manager excercises index cortracts. [futures and options] ergo long or short.i’m currently short the sm in the fund w/ a dow relationship of 8800.and long pm stocks with a gold relationship of hui 120.-shapping up to be a good year for us all. –goodtrading mr c

Without breaking forum protocol I will keep you as informed as possible as to my trades if you wish but in no way to imply recos. of any sort. That being said, as pertaining to futures, i’m currently looking to re-short the dollar or conversely go long the euro. as gold moves in the direction of ultimate target [425 area] i will be adding further long positions.

Currently short sm dow contracts @9300 looking for ultimate new lows[ 6000 area] tried for a couple of days to get silver on @4.90 dec but to no avail. after observing recent action i may possibly look for a lower entry. the last few years of silver action doesn’t light my fire like gold does therefore i trade silver for quick grabs whereas gold i take position and hold looking for targets. hope this assists—-good trading

Condolences to his wife, son and grandchildren who adored him. He put up a long fight, longer than most could endure. As Maya mentioned this site is a tribute to him. As the Irish would say…
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Farewell WANKA John Murphy

Posted by Maya @ 13:30 on October 27, 2017  

This is the day I dreaded would come.  A fighter to the end, but Wanka finally gave up the fight.  Rest well, old friend.

Wanka John was a freedom loving libertarian of the highest class.  When he chafed against the restrictions of Vronsky’s Gold Eagle forum, he enticed us away to explore ‘behind the Red Door’.  Wanka founded a private Goldbugz forum for us, first on Yahoo, and later found a webmaster to put together the great WordPress forum(s) we now enjoy.  The Gold Trains were a bit of a joke between us, based on his recall of taking the train from New Jersey down to Florida.  I used to tease him that when he made some billions that he would have to rebuild Flagler’s railroad all the way back to Key West!   John’s Gold Train is flying high now.

Wanka was our founder.  The best thing we can do to honor his memory is to keep this forum going as a place of refuge for market-battered goldbugs.  Aloha, John !

Remembering Wanka John

We had numerous “skype” calls ……. schooled me on many things …….

A man of character and  “that laugh” ……..  such enthusiasm !!

You will be missed and remembered here along with other pioneers ……

May You Rest in Peace

Maybe the world will all believe in the Emperor (Bitcoin, etc) strutting around with no clothes, but to me the Emperor and his fine garments (Bitcoin etc) are a figment of peoples imaginations. I’d say if I can’t see it, feel it, taste it, and weigh it, I don’t want it. So I’ll stick with my belief in Silverngold.

RIP Wanka

Very sorry that my one trip to Key West some 11 years ago was at a bad time for a face to face meeting with you . I have always regretted that .

Now your spirit is free of those struggles .

RIP WANKA John

I’m extremely sorry to hear about our Wanka. He and I got acquainted many years ago on the old gold eagle forum. We spoke on the phone occasionally. I remember he was originally from New Jersey and moved to Key West around 1969.

I saved many posts from the old G-E site and I’ll be looking for some of his vintage posts.

RIP Wanka, IMO one of the greatest, fairest, kindest, and most positive people I have been acquainted with.

Posted by silverngold @ 10:27 on October 27, 2017  

Always helpful and hopeful right to the end. Now gone on to bigger and better things on the other side, where we’ll all someday meet again. Let us know how it feels to finally be walking on those streets of gold my friend. Much brotherly love from Silverngold.

Oh man

Needless to say that news about Wanka hurts – really hurts.

Although for him the battle in this life is over, a new, exciting journey begins.

God bless John and his family

How to Rewire Your Genetics: Hacking the MTHFR Gene Mutation

Those who have this genetic gene mutation are at real risk of adverse effects with vaccines and other drugs because the body has a hard time eliminating toxins and heavy metals. There is a high number of people who have this gene mutation.
They should mandate tests in newborns before ever giving any vaccines in pro vac parents or pressured into it.

Researchers link it to an increased susceptibility to heart disease, colon cancer, stroke, recurrent miscarriage, Alzheimer’s disease, and depression. Forty percent of people have it and I’m one of them (some guys get all the luck!). This article will tell you how to find out if you have it too, and how you can protect your body and influence your genes to combat this common mutation.

Seeing the Light

Posted by Maya @ 2:16 on October 27, 2017  

Today we opened up about 1/4 of the sky in the back of the ranch.  Hired Pro tree cutter to take out the last eight.  The big, troublesome ones leaning over the fence & neighbors yards.  Expert rigging and pulling dropped them all clear of the fences.  Yay!

It’s strange seeing sky where it used to be solid green shade.  In between each tree drop we were in there limbing, dragging, sectioning trunks.  Most of the limbs were dragged up front to several piles awaiting chipping.  Lots of logs in back that I need to wheelbarrow up front by next week before the chipper arrives.

The mango tree has been topped and trimmed.  There are no more trees to take out!  Yay!

Now… where are my anti-inflammatories?

What Amazes/Amuses me…

is that anyone still thinks these are real markets.  The only thing worth doing these days is stack physical.
