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?

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
