'Green'Investor

The question is how long will it now last, if we are at that point. The graph suggests 12 months or so...will it be any different this time around? Does human nature change? Will the internet compress the time period of the speculative stage? If only we knew.

Thought this was apt considering the thread subtitle. Yahoo giving mainstream advice (from their homepage) on how to "get in" http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/02102009/389/know-...-gold-rush.html

Either way, it's just another doubt to add to the list. Buy physical. Perhaps we should start a thread along the same lines as Steve Netwriters recent "little project for all the goldbugs" thread i.e. Why PM ETF's are a good idea......anyone??

GF re: why not to invest in ETF's, this may be of interest: http://www.zerohedge.com/article/project-m...ted-silver-etfs And the original pdf on scribd http://www.scribd.com/doc/17750719/Silveretfs-1-PDF

Charlie, just to say I enjoyed those 2 chapters and would definitely purchase this type of book, I find them very helpful for new ideas and also when they mirror thoughts of mine, it lets me know I'm in the right ball park with things! Keep us posted, cheers.

Looks like a 2 year repeating cycle though?

Interesting graph, where does the red line projection come from?

Dr B, is this going to be available through itunes soon? Thanks, GI

add to the list above: resistance turned to support from may 08

I can see a confluence of support at 845 give or take 5 or so from a purely technical perspective. previous resistance (Nov 07 & Aug 08) 50% fib retracement (Oct 08 low > Feb 09 high) 200 sma support Guess we will find out soon enough...

Goldline now have brittanias, krugs and sov's available.

My two pence worth, keeping it simple, I would expect a bounce off the lower trend line at around $745-755 with an eventual retest of the upper trend line around 925?

The really interesting bit (for me) is the caller (Bill from Tampa) just before Ed Young at 9 minutes. Tom O'Brien talks about Great Basin (AMEX:GBN), a gold producer. Caller gets in at $1 something and Tom says it will get back to it's highs of $3.85 but it will take a few years. Also comments about the madness of the gold market but is essentially saying hold tight and don't get scared out, at least that's how I took it.

Hi, I started a thread on the investor education section, but Frizzers advised me to join this one, so apolgies about the double post (mods please delete my original thread if need be). Let me ask my original question in a slightly different way: If you wanted exposure to silver and you had to choose between either an ETF (e.g SLVR) or an ETC (e.g PHAG), which would you go for and why? Is there any real benefit of one over the other or, as they are traded like shares, are they much of a muchness? I realise the etf tracks an index and the etc tracks the spot price but other than that is there anything else i need to be aware of? Many thanks.
