Before The Week Begins

Just a quick note to start the morning.

I see that the PIIGS are once again being brought front and center for the expressed purpose of weakening the euro and strengthening the POSX. Its worked a little and the PMs have also shown their latest pattern of selling between 1:00 and 7:00 am EDT. Lets see where this takes us. Pattern has been for silver, in particular, to reverse by around 9:00-9:30. Watch those levels I gave you last evening.

One last thing and this is for commenters like "vamoose". You are welcome here. All opinions are welcome. What is NOT welcome are condescending comments that use terms like "kiddies". Got it?
No one here is smarter than anyone else. You may have experience trading but that does not translate into experience for what lies ahead. We are truly in unprecedented times. Be helpful or leave.

To that end, here's a c&p of a post from longtime reader "Scott". Please heed his advice.


Scottj88 said...

Re Comment Section (Take 2):

I have been involved in a lot of internet communities, and I have seen it all when it comes to the maturation of an internet community (much like the maturation process of an human being).

Undoubtedly there have been many more comments here lately, and to be honest I have not read every single one (even missing entire threads doing a quick search for my name to see if someone addressed me that I missed). However, I don't necessarily think the influx in comments and the extra-curricular (if precious metals is your focus) banter is a necessarily all that bad.

I believe that this blog community has awakened to a consciousness concerning the fall of the great keynesian empire. This reality is not in 5 to 10 years, but in the next 2 years as the world-wide financial system is at the point of systemic chaos (especially the Federal Reserve Note and the Euro).

This understanding is not one easy to deal with, and there are all sorts of personalities that have gathered on this blog. Some here are not as technical with forex xag/usd trading, but have other insight that is of value for others. The fact is, these are unprecedented times and as much spam occurs on this blogspot, there are gems within the spam.

I always try to write with the understanding that there are a lot of other people reading the comment section, thus trying to provide things that may be helpful to a wider audience. However, not everyone is the same and I do not think it is fair to discriminate if the person is well intentioned.

If you don't find value from someone's post, please don't take the time to add negative energy to the atmosphere. There will be things that frustrate you on this board, but such is life.

Blah my first post was better...

No edit button + deletions of posts = primative blogspot. This community needs an upgrade, and will struggle until it gets it. However, the content exists, but not in the same way it did.

In closing,
If you can help it, don't add negative energy towards people especially when it is unwarranted. There are a lot of fragile people and emotions amongst us, we must be sensitive to each one. It is not an easy task, and people will always complain.

By now, haven't we learned how to tune out noise if you have gotten this far?

  5. Couldn't agree more. As usual ScottJ88 amazes me with his maturity (are you sure you aren't really 65?). Anyway, couldn't have said it better - or half as well, really - myself.

    I have 50x leverage with Forex.com, but it all works the same way.
    Minimum position size (buy or sell) for me is 500 "units" priced at POS. The spread is 6 cents, so I'm out $30 per 500 immediately. From there every 1 cent POS moves up/down, I "gain/lose" $5. If I have a larger position of 2000 or whatever, then I "gain/lose" $20 per 1 cent move.
    Make sense?

  10. Thank you Scott and Turd,

    What defines someone IMHO certainly isn't the amount of $ in his / her wallet; whether greatly successful in trading or otherwise. I look at Charlie Sheen, for example, as a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance that happens to be financially rich but sadly lacking in so many obvious areas.

  11. At the suggestion of my good friend Jim Sinclair, I have prepared a chart detailing the ratio of the price of GDX compared to the price of GDXJ.

    The GDX does contain some smaller cap miners but it also mainly includes the large cap mining outfits.
    The GDXJ on the other hand, is comprised entirely of medium cap and small cap miners.
    Over 60% of the stocks that make up the GDXJ are Canadian firms. Nearly 14% are US headquartered with 13.31% being Australian. The remaining are from various countries around the globe.
    While not a perfect representation, it is a useful tool for charting the underperformance ( in general) of the small and medium cap miners compared to the larger cap miners.

    Note the steep decline in the line that began in the summer of last year which lasted throughout the remainder of 2010. Only towards the end of last year did the juniors recover a bit of ground but the best they could do was to retrace a small portion of their losses against the large cap miners by moving higher but since January they have gone nowhere against the large caps.
    It seems to me that the hedge funds are selectively targeting some of the small and mid tier mining firms to go after with their short side of the spread trade that they have been employing. Perhaps they feel that due to their sheer size and financial firepower, they can overwhelm any buying coming into the smaller firms and thus create an effective put option against their long metals positions. I am not sure but either way, the chart reveals the reason for the frustration among many who own quality junior and mid cap mining firms whose share prices seem stuck in the mud even as the gold and silver markets continue soaring higher..
    It is just mindboggling to see how undervalued many of the shares are when compared to the metals. While many have moved strongly higher, a large number of them continue to lag and are not reflecting the kind of price movements that we would expect to normally see with the bullion making either all time highs in price or 30+ year highs.

    For those who are faithful to but frustrated by miners.

  12. @David
    Just re-read my comment, maybe TMI? Here's easier - all you're doing is betting on a change movement x # of units. So if you think POS is going up $1 and bet 500, then you'll make $470. Double the bet to 1000, double the gain to $960. Loss works the same way. If you're wrong and POS drops $1, then you're (on paper) loss is $500 or $1000.

  13. How do you calculate it with higher leverage assuming the same minimum position?

  14. My last post was of course from JS Mineset. I edited out quite a bit as there were charts and more info. so if you are interested you could go there. I took mine from the Stockhouse bullboard on PAA.

  15. Found a mining stock of the week! Sotkamo Silver (SOSI, OMX Stockholm) is opening an old silvermine in Finland. Found loads of untouched ore to mine. Still a steal, despite being the only primary silvermine in Europe! Lags the recent price explosion significantly. And the best part is that being a new miner it hasn't hedged it's ore to any price like soo many others..

    You find stocks like this and hear talks about the bubble at the same time, crazy world!

  16. From the latest Future Money Trends email:

    Silver Mine Collapse

    The 15th largest silver mine in the world had a mine collapse. The 'Lucky Friday Mine,' owned by Hecla Mining in Idaho, produces roughly 3.5M ounces of silver per year. With supply already as tight as it is, any delay in production could have an impact on the price of silver. The 'Lucky Friday Mine' collapsed last Friday, officials have not had any contact with 53 year old Larry Marek, a 30 year miner who was in the mine when the roof collapsed. The company has halted all mining activity and is currently making a rescue effort with remote controlled digging machines. Our hearts and prayers are with the trapped miner and his family.

  18. @David
    The math is the same, the only difference is how much XAG you can buy. If I had x200 leverage (or x4 what I've got now), then my minimum buy/sell would be 2000, not 500. That's not necessarily good, until I'm buying/selling with great conviction. That leverage greatly amplifies gains and losses (to the extent your acct zeroes out!)

  19. If there is something a community DOESNT live off, then it's features. Stuff like possibility to edit posts just makes it a lot less unplugged.

  20. From previous thread:

    "vamoose said...
    Look , even a routine correction of a parabolic blowoff is 30 percent, and generally far more, including complete retracement, which would be 17 kiddies. Thats where it started."


    Yeah, my PM dealer being out of 1000oz bars for nearly half a year now sure isn't sign of strong fundamentals.

    Sorry, but there is a fight for every lot of physical silver that reaches the market, and not because a few measly silver investors like to speculate, but because industrial users NEED silver to manufacture their products. Industrial demand has been pretty much 100% of world production for a while now, and the demand surplus the past decade or so has been fed by depletion of stockpiles. These stockpiles are gone now.

    Just for the sake of it, how do YOU believe this demand/supply imbalance is going to resolve itself? Keeping in mind that in most products, very little silver is used, meaning the impact of it on the price of the final product is negligible.

  21. Well, I've got to admit, after what had seemed like a really interesting conversation over the weekend to have those lurkers come forth and say how much more they liked the blog before kind of stunned me. I have never seen two of them say anything other than how they don't like me or the conversations I have been involved in. I wish they had spoken sooner, but doesn't the conversation have to evolve beyond just price targets? And don't they have scroll buttons? I have enjoyed the evolving conversation and it seemed natural that some of us would be interested in each others' lives given that we are trying to prepare for the end of the economic world as we have known it. But I am done - apologies if I have over commented - I hope that those lurkers will step forward and bring some worthwhile commentary now that they have spoken.

  23. Okay, my limit order is set for some SLV MAY 42 calls. Hope the market doesn't rebound past my limit price before my market opens!

    Bigger risk than I ordinarily like (buying front month within 30 days of OEX), but if my bid in the "Guess the Thursday closing price" contest is even close, it will be a good trade. Time will tell...

    Off to take the grandchildren to school now. :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. And regarding silver: I just bought a little at 42,8. The further down it goes the more I'll buy. Let's see where this is headed. But as strong as the dollar is moving up right now I'd almost say there isn't much left in this move.

  27. I have not read last night's comments, but I infer from what I am reading now that some people don't like the wide ranging discussion here. I thought the weekend threads were very valuable indeed. If you think this board is just for trading chatter, you don't get it. You should go back and read some of the threads from JAN & FEB.

    Weekends, especially, when the market is not open, are a great time for this community to share all kinds of info and get to know each other better. If you don't have some bonding on an emotional and personal level, you really don't have a community at all.

    Okay. 'Nuff said.

  30. Very wise words Scott, I personally don't like negative comments from one person to another, it just creates poison in the mind, and those that make them should leave this blog.

    Simple truth and fact is, all those that are joined to Turd's blog should help each other with their trading experience, for those new to trading or with less experience, not to display their egos and negative commentary. We all want to make money in these markets, and should all be looking in the same direction.

    There's plenty of money in these markets for us to take a piece of, so lets just keep things pleasant and helpful guys. By doing so, we'll get the best out of one another and knock the real enemy off their feet - the BANKSTERS, THE FED, THE ILLUMINATI and the rest of them.

  31. Looks like the 8am raid came on cue. Glad (so far) that I went into cash over the weekend. Now to find re-entry points. I've noted the same patterns Turd so I'm thinking a good buy point will be either at market open or a few minutes thereafter. Think 'll watch for cues today.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Turd,
    Thanks for the answer in the last thread, but can you be more specific about timing metal exchange for real estate? Should we look for a Gold/Dow ratio of 1? Silver/Gold of 4?

    From my reading, this was the smart play in Germany during hyperinflation.

    Also, I find SGS to be very intelligent, but wish he would check the lanuguage. He has something to say, so there is no need for repeated F-bombs.

  35. I almost forgot I wanted to thank you for mentioning the Big Berkey Water Purifier a while back Turd.

  38. @Mike Flynn - Realtor

    I have spent many years on residential RE myself. We may have some common viewpoints. Cycle investing is where it's at. Make money, exchange it for something of real value, exchange that for the next rising asset class. That's it.

    I agree about the "F" word. It does not mean anything to some people, like saying "ah" when you're speaking. But, in spite of 24 years in the navy where it can be heard 5 times in a 7 word sentence, I refrain from using it because it is off-putting and, seriously, NOT a sign of intelligence.

  39. Could someone explain in 2 words what Scott is trying to say? I usually don't read his hate speaches(he hates my brains) :))) it's just too f long.

  40. Also, I'll admit that I'm pretty convinced we are due for a correction but I think we have some more run-time before it comes. Charts would suggest expect one at around $45AG. Sure wish I had a crystal ball!

    Anyway, I'm in cash now so my plan is to be more cautious until it occurs. Still not sure how I'll play today. Gonna wait for post 9:30am cues.

    I really doubt we will see anything near a 30% correction or a full retrace to $17. Past historical parabolic movements are not comparable to this movement. We have supply/demand issues and a devaluation of the USD neither of which will reverse in the near term. When a correction comes, I would expect something more reasonable along the lines of a correction to $36ag.

    If I had to take a wild stab at it, I'm kinda thinking it would occur in line with afrum's 24th-27th stay away posts. Gives us that week to get to $45'ish and set's us up nicely for a pullback.

  44. Xty, I think what Turd was getting at that he loves conversations that are varied, but he's getting tired of asshat trolls and negative people.

    I like varied positive conversations as well, as I just pointed out in my previous post, it was because of "One of Those" kinds of conversations that lead me to purchase a Berkey water purifier. I love that thing and would have missed out on that if it had not been for the wide ranging comments here. I just find that I post less nowadays because there are already so many good comments. I look forward to the new site because it will hopefully have more areas that we can go and have discussions in.

    Just my two cents, but please stick around.

    ReplyDelete
  45. just a thought for Canadians investing in miners on TSE.
    Remember, a 1% drop in mining shares on amex or nyse countered by a 1% gain in [US$ vs. CAN$] keeps your portfolio pretty much unchanged.
    For us, strength in the US$ not always a bad thing.

    thanks for all you do, TF.

  46. DarkPurpleHaze (is it okay if I call you Jimi?) - saw your question re: the new $100 bills. It's an (literally) incredible story, as in I am not sure I believe it. The official story is that 1.2 billion bills were printed (x100 for face value) and then scrapped due to printing errors. They were due to be sent to Ft. Worth for burning. I followed the (literally, again) unbelievable news for awhile, and I have my own theories...probably not worth mentioning here. Good luck on today's bitch-slap down; BTFD!

    P.S. The cost to print these debt notes was $0.12 per bill. So perhaps they did have some intrinsic value? ;-)

    [Note: it wasn't long afterward that our SecState Ms. Clinton made a unique request calling overseas ambassadors home for a face-to-face meeting in Washington, DC. Probably had no bearing on the currency situation though, right?]

  55. In the latest Barron's, Abelson mentions the guy who invented the Dogs of the Dow approach to investing, in which you buy the worst performers of the Dow at the beginning of the new year as they are likely to be the outperformers for the new year.
    Anyway, he has the Dogs of the World approach now, in which you invest in long and intermediate treasuries (25% each), GOLD (25%), and the five most undervalued investable global stock markets (5% each), which he lists as Belgium, France, Italy, Ireland, and Spain. The %'s are adjusted annually with a 5% increase in the underperformer of the year.
    He applies this method back to '95 and claims it would have outperformed every major stock index, long and intermediate term bonds, GOLD, cash, and inflation, and with only one down year.

  96. My 2 cents on "trolls": Yeah, no one wants the childish "I'm Blythe" or "I make millions fleecing you kids" crap. But, I personally think it's important to have dissenting opinions here. To be a PM investor is to basically have a dissenting vote on the financial system, so I think the principled thing to do is to encourage dissenting opinion from top-callers. If we bully out dissenting opinion, we're more the less "no better than them".

  98. I'm no expert on sprouts(more of a bacon guy), but for those interested you might check out your local coops and health food stores, and Whole Foods if you have nothing better available.

    For sure these places have a variety of things already sprouted in the produce section. At a minimum you could try a few and see what you like. Plus I'd be shocked if these same stores were not a good source of the seeds themselves and some advice on how to get started.

  99. Downgrade to negative yet we remain AAA? Their ratings are just opinions and their opinions are based on how much $$$ is given to them. We'll remain AAA right up until we crash, just like most of the "too big to fails" in 2008.

    Been lurking lately due to trolls and my inability to leave them alone, been keeping up with every thread and comment section though. Most of the regulars love you Xty, don't leave!!!

    Strangers and lurkers can stick to just Turds posts or scroll right on by any names/avatars they don't find the fun in reading or don't see our posts as valuable. It's a comment section in a blog written by a guy named Turd, seriously, they are smoking crack if they honestly expect this blog and comments to be professional and 100% metals-related. How quickly they forget that even the blog's author doesn't even stick solely to metals all the time.

    Opening bell as I type this, time to see how the miners react. I'm more interested in Hecla today even though I don't hold it, curious to see what the mine collapse does to that one.

  103. I'm working through a fairly lengthy article on the history of money and debt. Interesting so far. Here's a little nugget:

    "Credit systems seem to arise, and to become dominant, in periods of relative social peace, across networks of trust, whether created by states or, in most periods, transnational institutions, whilst precious metals replace them in periods characterised by widespread plunder."

(went on to options instead) But now you've inspired me over this weekend with your posts on this. .....PS...Can I do it? .. :) ...It looks awfully intimidating to trade the forex! ..Did you have any prior experience? Any other advice you can offer is appreciated. I will finish the babypips stuff this week (hopefully) ...and try my hand at a demo account if I can find the time. ...Anyway, thanks again for all of your posts over the weekend. They were helpful to me.

  117. Borte...Watch your miner charts closely IMO. If you sense a BTFD relative to the PM's continual rise, sooner or later they will respond IF they have significant under lying reserves. They must respond eventually.

  119. Most of the time when you see an EE raid starting when London opens until just before the Comex opens, it signals that there is going to be heavy upside volume when Bos do their bidding during the Comex/Ny hours and a nice FUBM with it.

  123. Wake up 10 minutes ago and don't know what to respond to first. Unbelievably wild things going on (guess we were right cuing in on some sort of tipping point coming soon).

    The mining shares are starting to decouple from the general stock market. The fact that the DOW is down 200 points and I am slightly green to start the morning is very encouraging to me.

    Surprise surprise on debt downgrade. There will be many more things that "we don't see" coming, so we should stay vigilante.

    Regarding the e-props from Turd and the responses from the community:

    I thank you all for the respect you for the kind words that keep me going. I may not know what I am talking about always but I sure do find it fun to converse with so many like-minded people. At my age (22 literally living in my mom's basement for now), there are not as many people who want to be focused on this subject-matter... and this community along with the insight of countless other "daily reads" have helped and will continue to help decipher the madness in this society.

  131. Guys,

    You will NEVER see the U.S. rating downgraded until there is a new world reserve currency and maybe not even then. Even a 1 tick down rating for the USD would be the equivalent of a financial Doomsday weapon. It would literally be all that shit you see in the movie Rollover.

  132. ""Downgrade to negative yet we remain AAA?""

    I always wondered how the US could default on their debt. I mean they can just print it so how is a default possible? They can be nothing less than AAA so long as the currency is unbacked.

  139. We had three very strong consecutive up days into the close on Friday for silver last week. I start to look for a raid after that many positive days in a row. I think the EE intended a raid for today for that reason. Its a fierce battle out the for control of the PM prices. Up dollar, down oil, down DJI. Those usually contribute to a down day for the PM's usually. Yet so far they remain up so far today. Amazing isn't it?

    We can see there has been a major shift in the fundamentals that causes this anomaly to occur. Look at the titanic forces battle it out.

  140. Miked...when the rest of the world gets defaulted on their debt by the U.S. NO ONE will view us as AAA.
    Doesn't matter what we view ourselves if all others don't think the same way.
    That would be like a person on fire and the crowd has fire extinuishers all around us and we say.."I don't smell smoke, what are all of you getting alarmed about"

    The AAA will go to AA+ or lower in the near future. All signs and news are leading up to it.

  141. xty, I'd concur with the above posts - keep posting as you provide valuable insight for many. I think the high majority on this blog are able to follow the comments & immediately compartmentalize the various subjects - ie. silver price, stocks, trading, food, security, news, theory, etc. I, for example, am not much of a trader & these posts are quickly skimmed, but I do understand these posts provide great insight to many. Your question is a good one - we all have scroll buttons :).

    TF, away most of the weekend - loved the Kipling poem, thank you. You may now be responsible for a newfound interest in poetry, and in particular, those with themes, messages and/or world views like Kipling's poem. The poem reminded me of two things: First, my father, a man whose values have never wavered and who is the same everyday notwithstanding that everything is changing around him. Second, I am reminded of physical gold which "outlasts them all" and is a symbol of constant principles, virtues, values, etc. that have and will continue to withstand the test of time.

    With that said, I do agree that no matter how much we evolve and progress, human nature is what it is. Does one remain true to one's own inner core values, notwithstanding the difficulty as society (and money printing) change around us? Does it matter if we succumb to the whims of the day, to the Gods of the Marketplace? If this cycle repeats, what's the point of remaining true to one's inner core values and principles?

    This poem also reminds me an Emerson quote I read and posted by Mr. Sinclair on jsmineset:

    "What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."

These know the U.S. simply opens another line of credit to pay off previous lines. benron maniacally running the printing press/key stroking dollars out the ying yang to cover, while the US economy languishes; rolls over to die. Unemployment soon to start a new leg up and housing a new leg down; all the while the Tbonds blow out in interest rate yields to the upside. ZIRP! Zero interest rate policy has killed the savers/conservatives protecting retirements. 6 trillion in private 401s/Ira's/Roth ect.........fed goons to confiscate these before the small amounts in PM's and especially silver. Not much refuge in a burning fiat structure burning down. Even now the lower rooms of safe haven paper fiat are coming to flames, rooms filling with smoke and soon no where to run. PMs will all be bought up, as sheeple perish in the burning to ashes of a bygone corrupt system!!

  147. The miners are a joke right now. This won't last.
    If this "curve" continues they'll be green in short enough time. I try to apply the same principle to quality miners as I do to the metal - BTFD. If GPL drops below a 3.80 it is buying time.

    You wrote:

    "Did you ever consider that 1980-1999 yrs of out-sized (compared to historic returns of 6-8% annual including dividends) stock market gains was the anomaly vs. gold/silver, not the other way around? Any of these short or long term bearish-metals arguments can (and if you're truly seeking truth should) be flipped to see how they look in the opposite direction."

    Considered it and accepted it.

    My point is only this: if during the period of a persons life silver and gold are poor investments because of manipulation or legal issues then would it not be prudent to put your money where it is valued at its highest? Over my life time there have been better investments although - given the look of the charts this morning I'd say that period is coming to an abrupt end which makes the arguement completely academic (that's all it was anyways). My point is not to be married to one investment but to always be aggressively pursing the best investment which involves forsight. I ask - not just what is undervalued but what is undervalued and an investment whose time has come?

    Right now - that is S & G. Nice charts!

  148. From Daniel FCB:
    Years ago the conventional wisdom was that miners led the POG, i.e., if miners were going up when gold was doing nothing, that forecast a rise in POG and vice-versa. So, along with most others here who have significant miner holdings, I'm, shall we say, concerned about the miners' reaction to higher PMs. What happened to the old adage that higher PMs foretold greater profits for miners (and yes, I know about higher energy costs working against this. Also I realize that miners are stocks, and the market is way down.) Any knowledgeable advice to "Stay in there, guy!"? Every time in the past I sold my miners, I did it too late and missed the rebound. Don't want to make that stupid emotional mistake again and I know the fundamentals haven't changed, but WTF is with SLW, GPL, etc.?

  153. The reason this occured is because some of the politicians weren't serious about cutting. This is mostly aimed at U.S. Democrats who have a hard time promoting cuts since most of their constituent's are made up of the major entitlement groups. So now, thanks to the S&P's long term outlook downgrade (do not confuse this with a rating downgrade they are COMPLETELY seperate) the U.S. Democrats can go for deeper cuts and blame the evil S&P for making them do it.

    It's all theatre. Always is. The real decisions are always made in advance and never broadcast to the plebes.

    BTW I am not an American and I don't have a high opinion of the Fed, so my comments were not about the reliebility of US debt.

  179. On the Net Dania 10 minute chart I see the biggest volume I have ever seen thrown at silver on this down spike. Shows you how serious Blythe is with this raid. The volumes have been spectacular in this titanic battle. Incredible the power of worthless fiat paper. Hey Afrum, congratulations on another great post.

    Markus: Obviously you have no idea what "trading" is about. On that note, fuck you."

    You're wrong with your picks, you don't provide arguments for your points, you go with the general flow and try to feed off it. You're a tagalong dd, you have nothing to add here.

    Btw, would you be so kind and enter your trading program and tell me what the maintainance margin is on the silver contract right now? You're probably 12 years old and haven't made a single trade in your life.

  182. I see the EE is throwing every bucket of water they have on the PM fire at the moment.
    Lets see how the response buying goes..

    Stephen..BTW, I have not jumped back into SLW heavier at the moment. Spent my ammo this a.m. re-establishing GG so I that I was not out of any gold position at all. SLW will have to wait until tomorrow and it might be for the better. We shall see.
    None of this is bothering me. Hope it's not blowing any minds out there.

  183. Very volatile out there in gold. Large profits in 20 minutes of comex open.

    Up and down like a freakin yo-yo. Love and hate leverage sometimes :)
