Is This Good Time for Buy Gold Again???

Recommended Posts

Be careful with the "Gold will always go up" idea, Jimbo.

 

When I hear that, I think of selling.

 

Interesting times.

 

Indeed. We've seen it so many times now.

Crisis? What Crisis? If my banks debts are 5 bill, so what, central bank buys them with printed $. It's the only way out of the mess. It will continue till the debts are clear.

 

Until the debts are cleared, inflation rules and gold goes up.

If all the world's central banks continue with their policy to inflate away debt and devalue currency (under the guise of stimulus), ALL tangible assets will ultimately go up in value. True, if there's some dodgy goings on in gold and silver etc. then there could be a crisis in supply and prices could rocket. But then ultimately there are bubbles like anything. There is a limited supply, but look what happened in Oil. $150 down to something like $35 (can't remember exactly but you get the picture I'm sure). My feeling is that gold could potentially be worth much much more but then I want to see the stock indices start to march their way to much higher levels too. The S&P 500 needs to start making new all-time highs and keep going. At this point, it's likely that gold will also move considerably higher. But for now, it could be that the market is quite long already all things considered.

Remember that Gold is also a commodity, as well as being a store of wealth.

 

When traders get on the wrong side of a trade, they need to raise cash fast.

The quickest way is sell the most liquid asset in existence ... GOLD!

 

The other interesting theory is the "risk-on-risk-off" idea.

 

When things are "bad" (according to whom you may ask?) it's risk-off behaviour

for the markets - ie, "take-no-risks." That's the cue to purchase "safe" assets like

the USD, gold, CHF or the AUD as examples.

 

Monet needs a "safe-haven" in such times. But the market does not always act

predictably - sometimes they will sell gold in order to park money in the currencies.

Sometimes not.

 

When things are "rosy" (according to whom you may ask again?) and returning to

fun-fun-fun ... then it's risk-on behaviour for the markets - or "take-risks-again time."

 

Again - with markets being unpredictable, who knows whether gold will be bought or sold?

 

If you are going to trade gold, you will need very deep pockets, and a quick trigger

finger on the buy/sell button.

 

I discovered that you can not afford to take a bias on anything - gold does NOT always

go up in uncertain times. I let a very nice profit turn into a small loss, thinking that the

turn-around was just an hour away ... for over 72 hours!

 

Nope! That dog did not hunt! :crap:

that is so correct...we have to trade the markets as they are, not as they should be.

Agreed. Inflation due to printing will affect all asset classes.

Oil is not the same as gold tho. That is manipulated at least as much as fiat currency. You only have to look at the Saudis and the OPEC cartel.

Gold can be manipulated short term by futures markets and liquidation to raise capital. But can't be manipulated long term, as there is limited supply and is getting more and more expensive to produce.

but increasing prices make it possible to use the sources which was not considered profitable before...4 years ago it was 850..now it is 1750

Which means its price can not be manipulated down - no one is going to enter into a contract to sell gold at a cheaper price that they bought/produced it.

 

There will be limits to that.

 

But I know some bears are going to be caught one day (JP Morgan) and to cover their shorts they are going to have to buy gold at a loss ... I hope I see that ... what Schadenfreude!

 

:applaud:

 

PS - and if it can happen in the Silver market, then Gold is certainly not immune to some of it too!

going against Chinese wealth would not be wise ;)

imvho I do not think we will ever see gold around that 850 levels, unless there is an extraordinary drop in human population...of course I may be wrong...

 

that news says they have been probing for 4 years...that did not sound so right ;)

Well, could you pls explain?

What I see is CBs, printing money and giving it to commercial banks. And commercial banks don't flow them into the real economy, preferring to sit on piles of cash.

So how can inflation go up without money money supply growth?

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
