Your were ridiculing my investment choices. I ridiculed you back....fair game? Seriously FK, you have made a number of very constructive posts over the last few weeks and i thought that i had got you wrong, but then you resort to your favourite tactic of ridiculing and humiliating other posters???? FFS, stop digging, and as someone else pointed out, get yourself some self awareness!!!

Fitkid You have eaten far too many salmonella laden bilberries and sloshed them down with bleach Now go away....

The way i invested was to have a core in gold stocks and a lesser amount in bullion. When i bought the bullion in 2007, the physical was lagging the stocks by a fair amount. That has now reversed. Warpig is right in that the stocks will have their day again but it is just soul destroying to see these big moves in physical and seeing no movement in the stocks at all. Dont get me wrong, my gold stocks are showing a healthy profit so i have no reason to complain

The economic commentators are all saying the same in that they are undervalued, but its still bloody frustrating!

The frustrating thing for me is the Gold stocks are still left on the launchpad! Only bright light is that they dont seem to be selling off like the general market

Keep playing this.........great tune.......thanks for the introduction riggerz

Great tune but cannot help you with that one

[Alanfreeman] Moshtastic mate! [/Alanfreeman] Still listen to the Helmet/HOP on occasions, but the senser is probably even better

You been at the cooking sherry again?

Think its been posted already but wtf. One for all yous Golbugs! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J3uj2wqPPA&ob=av2e

No i hope it didnt sound like that. I dont have a timescale but when/if we reach $3000, then that is the point where i will start to sit up and watch the markets a little more closely. Where i was coming from is that as I have a buy & hold strategy, I am aware that this strategy also breeds inertia. You tend to become acustomed to the volatility of the gold price and the danger is that i will hold through thick and thin when the time has come to get out. When we eventually reach the top in the gold price, the downside will take many of the unwary by surprise, but for now, i am sure we have much further to go The average joe's that i talk to still think that property is the way to go! This week has been a bit of a schadenfreude moment for me seeing gold go through £1000. Back in 2005, a (now ex) friend and I were discussing investing, and despite me taking the contrarian view of the time warning him of the dangers of property investing, he laughed in my face and went ahead and bought a Bulgarian holiday flat. I then told him i had bought a significant investment in gold miners, warned him of the risk of bank/sovereign defaults,(unheard of in 2005), which once again he laughed in my face and publicly humiliated me! Now I dont know about you, but I get a bit hacked off when someone laughs in my face! So I have been waiting for the day that "gold hits £1000" was splashed across every tabloid newspapers front page....(and even "third bong" on news at ten!)....and this week was the week that I had my schadenfreude moment, returned the gesture and laughed in my ex friends face! . As for the Bulgarian flat?......thats nicely underwater now and he has never had a single let in the time he has owned it.

Looks like your posts have appeared

This is something that also worries me. Just as we build positions over time, then my plan would be to average out over time once i feel we are getting close to the end game Its too easy to think we can pick the exact top, so sell out in stages and leave some profit for the next guy

£1000.31 We have a winner! Gold stocks looking like they are finally moving. Noticed that the HUI has decoupled from the broad stock market....Dow -146...HUI...+8

Hi ML Its causing me problems to be honest. Havent bought anything since 2009 but I stupidly overinvested and didnt leave a cash buffer in my finances for day to day living expenses. I really, really dont want to sell anything at this stage as i think we are close to a very big move, so i struggle on slightly cash strapped! Fortunately, the cavalry arrives in 2 months when an insurance policy matures and delivers a tidy sum. I just have to resist the temptation to buy more gold when it arrives! Good luck with those targets......I admire your optimism!

Yes very true. I dont tend to look at the buy price as I am over invested and dont plan to make any more purchases for now

Gold in Sterling £976 Pandas are now £996, Brittanias are £986 in CID Whats betting we see £1000 gold by weekend?

He's the hairy one

Yep me too....fantastic tune!....and apologies to Guy Garvey for getting his name wrong! Did you go to Glasto yourself? Didnt see them tbh and not really familiar with who they are but sounds good from that clip. Had a group of 14 of us in the end and mainly camped out at the pyramid stage for the simple reason we all couldnt agree on who to see! In other news....just found this.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJSdQQi5TyI&feature=related

Nice remix although I love the horns/strings/rhythm section on the original http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrF4BJ1cwPE

Yep i know what you mean....its very commercial/easy listening. Majority of the song is rap, but there's reggae and drum & bass thrown in at the end. He was a good live act but somehow I dont expect him to pass the test of time....maybe i am wrong but time will tell! Thanks for that Underling. As i said before. its the first time i have done Glastonbury and sort of a lifetimes ambititon to go if only once. I used to do Leeds/Reading every year up until 2004 and had just about hung up my festival boots, but i got the chance to go to Glasto and glad i went. I agree that Glastonbury could be considered to be too big. A friend came up with a useless statistic saying that if you watched every band at Glastonbury, it would take you 86 days to see everyone (and thats not including sleep!) So yes. if anyone fancies a "festival meet up" then i would be up for that. No Glasto next year but i wouldn't mind doing the Isle of Wight if i get the chance...(funds permitting)

My vote for best of the festival... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqh9N-Mw5E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qgn1Rc0YJ4

Nick Garvey is a star! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL4mywCOJXA Love 'em or hate 'em, Coldplay was probably the best of the 3 headliners http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpwW4iraV3Q

Just returned from a fantastic week at Glastonbury....a few of the artists I particularly enjoyed.... BB King...looked a bit frail but still a legend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fk2prKnYnI Not really my type of music but he was very good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzvGKas5RsU
