Hey Trembling,

I had a look at the gold AUD cfd this morning and it had price spikes again, quite interesting. It appears as though CMC's data is quite crap :p

This is really off topic but do you know any providers that provide CFD's for yuan? it could be vs. USD/AUD i'm not really fussed. If they are simply synthetic products then surely a cfd can be created for yuan vs.aud? :p

Regarding trading gold (or silver) and yuan, I use OANDA (they are a major forex broker). They have minuscule spreads.
Also, I have been onto the whole "yuan will rise" thing for a while, but for all the talk that it will rise it has done very little.

Thanks for the info Tothemax & Trembling :)

I think the whole yuan play is more a political play rather than a financial play. But then again the Chinese hate to be bossed around by the U.S so who knows how things will play out.

You come across as such an arrogant self-conceited wind bag maybe you need to get off the net and start your own self-deluded cult.

I'm answering a question that was directed at me from Nutz about how you trade the Yuan.

I may come across as a arrogant self-conceited wind bag because you can never fault my points of veiw nor facts. That leaves idiots like yourself nothing to do when Gold drops 2% and under performs what you hate other than the drunken personal attacking bullsh!t you have put in your last two post.

Fool.
 
Cmon guys, more facts and less poo throwing please.

And how about some original individual analysis backed up by some quoted stats? Just linking websites doesn't really do it for me.
 
GumbyLearner, TemblingHand,

How 'bout you both go use a punch bag for half an hour, and then remember that people on the internet are not real. This thread is about gold.

Cheers!

Higher rates generally do not bode well for gold longs.

As noted December 8th, looked like the continued bout of higher rates did not bode well for gold longs.

Here to share a little research thought you might enjoy, here is the 20 day correlation of ASX:GOLD and ASX:STW close prices. I wanted to see what it looked like before the flash crash, so I've annotated it like that. But the chart goes from 21st Jan 2010 - Current.

A little bearish in tone, but Chris Vermeulen on 20 Jan is worth reading on this. Some interesting charts too.

http://www.kitco.com/ind/vermeulen/jan202011.html
Panic Selling Hit SP500 Today, Silver and Gold Are Next!

...All of the recent gains vanished in one session. Strong selling volume sessions like this are typically a warning sign that distribution selling is starting to enter the market.

Distribution selling is when the big money players start unloading large positions in anticipation of a market top. They do try to hide it by selling into good news or earnings when the average investors are buying into all the hype of better than expected earnings on the news...

...I feel the precious metals sector will be starting something like this in the near futures, and possibly it has already started as seen in the rising volume on the down days...

...Silver Daily Chart – The Next Wave of Selling?

I look at silver and gold as one… so what I show here is the exact same for gold.

As you can see silver is trading under 3 of its key moving averages and todays bounce was sold into after testing the 14 and 20 period moving averages.

Take a looking at the bottom of the chart and you can see distribution selling volume as the spikes are all down days. If silver breaks below the $28 level then we could easily and quickly see the $26 and maybe even the $24 level.

Since 2001 these same scenarios have appeared about every 18 months on average.

Gold is different because it is a currency in its own right and has been for 5 thousand years. This statement has been repeated many times since the advent of this thread and I wonder sometime when will the message get through.

Gold has intrinsic value and it cannot be printed into oblivion. Paper money is no more than a promise of a given amount which loses value with inflation, which is again showing signs of looming but in particular with Q/E money printing which is now rampant.

On the action of the techincal charts computer triggers will be hit and it will sell down violently at times and this appears to be one of those times now.

Watch this space for a rise in gold and silver again very soon IMHO

Yes we know all this. But people can go overboard, right? The effect is not infinite. The issue is "at this stage in the money printing, is the gold worth $1400"? People who piled into gold in 1980 expecting hyperinflation got smashed, and would have had to have waited decades to get a positive return. The information shows that in this situation the US is going to suffer high inflation, but market timing is important.

You can only go with the overall long term trend in a commodity such as gold. A stop loss needs to be set well below normal levels based upon its behaviour. We are not talking of trading here either, like land banking it is about preserving overall equity in a portfolio.

I hold physical for those reasons.

And from 1980 there were plenty of opportunities to recognise that a down trend was in place and to get out with a very good overall profit if you picked it up around 1975

What happened to make gold crash back then?

Is this time different and it just keeps going up for ever?

Sorry GL, is there an association with POG on that? Can you post comparative charts?

Well here's gold v us dollar until 2008 not that the US FED funds rates has moved yet and gold certainly should be north of that red line. I suppose if the chinese central bank moves thier lending rate by 300 to 400 basis points over the next 12 months that may effect the value of gold. Either that or they look like getting monstered by inflation anyway.

This is not investment advice

I'm still learning
