Gold Price - Where is it heading?

[Whiskers]

Maybe the "plunge protection team" hit gold prior to, and during, AIG and Lehmans, and this was their cover - powder dry again for the next iceberg.


Maybe this, maybe that. Time will tell but I'll stay long. This has only confirmed for me the view that if gold decides to leave the station it will be over the horizon before those on the platform have noticed it left.



Collapse of the USD isn't a two way street imo - i.e. if the USD goes into a proper cliff dive there won't be a 'recovery party' in two years time - the world will have changed and we'll live in a different global economy dominated by different players and a different form of currency (not necessarily gold but it will feature in the transition).

I'm with you cuttlefish. From a TA perspective I think this is settling back into wave 4 with 5 to come.

You have also highlighed the future lack of production/supply of gold. That cannot be ignored or got around for any length of time.

However, I still believe the USD will go higher before it heads south again but I don't see that harming gold especially not in AUD terms.

The other important point from a TA is it didn't break below the peak of 06.

Going for a nice gallop into the pit close.

Noice.

...it's US$1,000 here we come. Dow has turned down 150 points and oil has recovered US$4.

Dropped $60 in over an hour just before, found a floor around $830-840.

What a trading range, this is insane!

The volatility will increase. What is insane is the Good Ole US of A.

Announced that IAG will be removed from the Dow Index and then "Big Chief Burnin Bush" announces another great package of taxpayers dollar/toilet paper to rescue everything and we repeat "wees all saved"

Of course we have a huge line in the sand to protect up to the US Presidential election.

First, gold was getting noticed by mainstream, and ;

two, The dow sits on a support going back 10 years that if broken next major support would be 7000.

A few US Gold Index have now filled gaps that they made in December 2005.
I always thought that for them to be able to fill the gaps POG would be about US 550-630. However it appears that needs not be the case. The various US Gold Index have made a significant bottom. POG will follow higher quickly.

The stocks led POG down now they will lead it up
But POG may have huge daily moves but mainly up.
The train has left the station!!!
(but remember we may have to have a few stops along the way for the GM markets. And to Pick up survivors, late comers and new believers )

Kennas yes I thought POG would drop to US$ 630 or less before a bottom was made as per explanation above.

Note how large the moves are in POG

But a good day yesterday for us goldies
my Portfolio moved 90% higher in a day

just out of interest, if you had bought Gold at around $1000 when it was being spruiked to $1500 by some notable peeples, the last day or two, astonishing as they are, would have recovered 33% of the 25% you would be down... or is my basic level math astray???

it'll get to a low of 830 today, then get to around 880.

The US is only postponing the inevitable crash with all these bailouts

Maybe, but looking firm again now. I think the rest of the world is seeing the real picture so it may trise today.

I will not predict medium to short. My humble fundamental says it will continue to gain prominence as a store of wealth for some years to come.

I'm running with a different wave count to you, so if mine is correct it has to run out to a 5 count... probably 4 now... which if correct, must go a bit higher over the next few days before correcting back a bit.

The retracement to 900 has occured so should go back to around 600

Yep , on the front page of my newspaper, very good time to sell

So good to be a bug.

Dear Jim,

Did you see this article, which includes a surprising quote from the Citigroup analyst?

Gold bugs have been proven correct in the contention that "an overwhelmingly vast and complex pool of nested financial derivatives would ultimately result in cascading defaults and ruin for major portions of the banking system," wrote Citigroup analyst John Hill.

"Frankly, we're surprised that gold is not already at $2,000 per ounce," he added."

What an upstart. Anyway he's entitled to his opinion.

On Jim Sinclair's site, so we could expect no less.

Ah, well,---- decided not to sell my gold shares after all, after reading the paper properly, looks like gold has a bit further to run. Lost faith in the Burnin Bush fella, and too quick on the draw for me anyway.

An another thing, Isn't that Citigroup in some sort a trouble too?

I think you're a bit mixed up! Its your job as a trader to say where its heading for the next few sessions.

We'll tell you where its ultimately headed as the system breaks down. Most gold bugs by definition are focussed on the bigger picture.

 

[Trembling Hand]

To tell you the truth I have no idea where its going. I truly don't care. I don't need to know. I just hope everything stays as wild as it has been.

Best of times to be playing a zero sum game!!

TH, really not sure where your scornful scepticism is coming from, but even some simple maths shows that there is money to made here, long & short (yes it's ok for a gold bug to short ) -

Picking some arbitrary point in time , say last week when gold was $735, to todays close around $850 would give you a return of 15%, for the week. Anything else come close to that?

Just my punt. Simply because of the volume. Who ever was on the other side (if it wasn't covering) will not be folding that easy. they never do.

Not sure what your point is. But I will be quiet from here. I must be rubbing the wrong way.
