Nice turnaround for the good guys!
Jim Rickards is a tool of someone’s. He’s dished out alot of bad information. I’d love to see his track record on paper I bet people would be running from him. He loves to boast about how he used to hang out with people of power and influence so I don’t really trust his messages so much. He’s a talented writer, but something doesn’t add up with this guy in my estimation
I assume they all work together as a team. When they needed supply, they dropped the dollar, gold went over $1900, and IN IN IN comes supply from Americans, people turning it in to the smelters and on to where they needed it.
Wash rinse repeat, run the Pound down, Gold goes higher in UK, and IN IN IN comes supply from the British people turning it in to the smelters and on to where they needed it.
One year, US gold up only 10%, UK gold up a nice 34%.

I bought 200 NUGT this AM at $12.12 and got stopped out later at $11.42. These markets are getting too hard to play. Erratic sudden moves, false break-outs etc.
I hear (re flash crash on Pound) its all automated computerized trading programs that replaced human market makers these days. It’s getting like a carnival game or video game that makes it hard to win. Maybe after the election things will get better
this headline from ZH encapsulates what’s been going on with the sudden dumping of billions of $ worth of Gold on the open market……………..margin calls on large shareholders of DB, CS, etc., and other hard hit bank stocks.
Rumor Of Qatar Investment In Deutsche Bank Denied; Speculation Of A $1.2 Billion Margin Call Remains
It looks like the smaller caps may be finally rolling over. Maybe that TZA short play might work longer term this time. I lost a little on it when I bought the break-out 9/7 (market drop) but fizzled out. (stronger market)

I think the Fed put out a less than expected jobs report on purpose I GUESS to push the dollar down, but it did not work much, dollar even higher today. I suspect the high Dollar and low Pound are both over extended trends.

looks like good risk/reward here…if yer a “believer” in the bull…
But all my friends say this is just a typical bull mkt correction…I hope they be right
Anyone want to tell us again about how trustworthy this guy is?
Fed still on track to raise rates in December. Jobs “miss” is irrelevant; it was “good enough.” Key is inflation, and that’s going Fed’s way pic.twitter.com/oJBcNcJQNj
@JamesGRickards Wait a second. Just 3 weeks ago you said “rate hikes were off the table for the foreseeable future.”http://dailyreckoning.com/inside-the-fed-tool-kit/ …
Inside the Fed Tool Kit – James Rickards
The economy is slowing and extremely close to recession. What should the Fed be doing? Fed discussions over interest rates continues. Jim Rickards reports…

is much better than a post jobs report plunge that is quickly bought…but the day is young and the fire brigade is always on standby…

Does the FED think it can sustain this?
An economic bubble is essentially an economic activity that cannot sustain itself without a continuous influx of new money and credit to bid away real resources from self-funding endeavors. Financial bubbles are obviously closely related as financial assets are derivatives of underlying real production of goods and services. For example, an Apple stock is a derivative of the economic good emanating from peoples use of their cell phones. If the value placed on the services rendered from their product is high, the financial asset should reflect this through a high share price.
Aggregating this concept to include all assets and all production does not change the conclusion; valuations must reflect output somehow. In other words, there should be a causal connection between the value of assets and their ability to create output.
Quantitatively we can express this relationship by looking at the “Household Net Worth” time-series found in the Financial Accounts of the United States, compiled by the Federal Reserve (source) and nominal GDP as reported by the Bureau of Economic Research (source). We use the household net worth data because it is ultimately households that own all the productive assets in the economy so this is one of the closest thing we come to economy wide asset valuation which should correspond to NGDP, the widest measurement of output. To compare the two, we calculate growth rates of both and rebase them one for the first quarter of 1990.
Nominal GDP obviously reflect the economy’s ability to generate money income which can be used to, among other things, service cost of capital. Asset valuations reflect, or should reflect, a market view of the amount of money income the economy will be able to produce in the future. Elevated asset valuations are thus a reflection of exuberant expectations about economic output that will come. If for some reason that output fail to materialize, the expected money income will also be absent and overly optimistic valuations must be realigned with the new reality.

Fingers Crossed!!
MELBOURNE – Barrick Gold’s stake in the Kalgoorlie Super Pit mine has drawn interest from Kinross Gold and Zijin Mining Group in a sale that could fetch as much as $1-billion, people with knowledge of the matter said.
Australian producers Newcrest Mining, Northern Star Resources and Evolution Mining are also reviewing data on the mine ahead of possible indicative bids, which are due by the end of October, according to the people. Chinese companies including China National Gold Group and Shandong Gold Mining are also considering offers, the people said, asking not to be identified because the details are private.
Thanks, then it’s probably an IE problem.
ZH is fine with me,,in fact got better recently.
But I run a skinny version of Linux on a super fast gaming desktop…the thing blazes.
