  1. It's interesting to note that the demand reasons for gold and silver were historically similar, i.e. as money and a store of value (often in the form of jewellery, ornaments etc.). It is therefore no surprise that their relative values were inversely proportional to their relative supplies. In this modern era silver has become an important industrial metal far more than gold. I therefore expect that the ongoing demand for silver is relatively higher, so the ratio might eventually go lower than the old historical equilibrium (less than 1/16).
  2. Some reckon that options expiry day (around the 26th) is a good time of the month to buy as gold often dips for that. This is useful if you are a monthly buyer. Of course, in any given month who knows?
  3. Good to see that GF is back posting. I have been posting your UK house prices in gold chart at HPC fairly often, hoping that some can see that the crash is well on in gold terms and will most likely continue. Looking at the PIxel8r lines chart, do people think this upleg is over or only half-way through? Pixel8r originally targeted 1300-1350, I think, if it played out like the previous years and we would at present still be only half-way through the full move. I'm hoping for a new high by the end of May.
  4. Kitco has tables of London prices back to 1996. You could probably copy and paste into Excel. http://www.kitco.com/gold.londonfix.html
  5. Many people are still mesmerised by paper money. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Doktor Mesmer says you can trust the dollar. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ (The $ symbol comes originally from silver, of course.)
  6. What he said about consuming 1/10 didn't seem to make sense. One of the comments tries to clarify:
  7. You can win an ounce of silver if you win the monthly gold price guessing competition at 24knews. The closing date is 15 Feb. Guess the price on Mar 5 London PM fix. Simply post your guess price. Here's the thread: http://www.24knews.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=188 headmelter won the Feb silver price guessing contest. I won the Jan gold price guessing contest. We alternate each month between gold and silver. The prize is a one-ounce silver Libertad or one ounce of silver into your GoldMoney account if you have one. On edit: Mar 5
  8. Thanks. By getting out of everything I suppose he means staying in cash which is being in something. Is he American? and I suppose his cash would be USD?
  9. Does he specify what he classes as "risky holdings"?
  10. Last month I won the gold-price guessing competition at 24knews. The prize was a one-ounce silver coin. I PM'd my GM account number to Pixel8r and he deposited one ounce of silver in my GM account from his GM account. It was the first time I received via that system and the transfer must have occurred within minutes.
  11. At both GM and BV the customer is the legal owner of the bullion he has purchased. GM or BV could go bankrupt and the official receiver could not steal the bullion from the owners i.e. the customers. Both GM and BV have stated this clearly. It's a central part of the service they provide.
  12. I was lucky to avoid the autumn 2008 plunge in silver. I might have started buying in quantities in the July but delayed and seeing the correction well underway in September I waited until November to start my purchases. Although the gold I bought in July 2008 was under water for a few months, an edifying experience.
  13. Just found this video at 24knews. It wonders why the Chinese government is encouraging its populace to buy gold and suggests that future monetization backing the yuan with gold is one possible reason. From:
  14. Just the other day I read a post for a couple of paragraphs until I realised it was not DrBubb's own words but he was quoting an article. I always use quotes to indicate that the words are not my own.
  15. At least GF provides some indication to us other posters what's going through his mind and gives people public warnings. He also said when he started as a moderator that those who swear at other posters could get a short suspension, so we know where we stand. On gold, today's 50-dollar takedown is something we need to get used to. Now that gold has been over a 1000 for a while changes of 50 or 100 dollars don't feel so big to me. I had a feeling a takedown was due after a few strong days. I added to my little silver coin collection and also some half sovereigns. I like the size of half sovereigns because as the price of gold goes up and up even one sovereign isn't exactly cheap.
