 When 5 Year Gold shows an increase of more than 200% a fall of 13.041% ($1895 to $1663) is just a small bump in the road.

It's more like 10 years, and that "small bump in the road" is exactly my point. Really I was talking to ekimdrachir's comment about this week being a strong week, it wasn't and it's still not and there's still potential the chart (short term) that could easily turn down. Not that it's a bad thing, I'd rather have it recurse some for a while before it really does take off. Because you can still see they have plenty of strength left to force it down yet again. I personally just like getting lower pricing and have nothing against hedging, but at least tell it like it really is.

Compared to last week it is, if you look at the trades the incline is getting sharper and sharper-- before they knock it down. It feels like they just can't get it to stabilize where they want it, its pushing 32 today, this is Silver's new bottom. 15 is a thing of the past, and 25 is way too cheap still. I'm having people on Kijiji offer all their silver for 50 now. That's what JP settled at around last January, thats where its headed again. This drop to 30 is Just a small bump in the road though, on its way to the moon.

Today Silver's at 32.50 and Gold is up to 1675 from just under 1668. You have to watch both as well as the Markets and Comodities, to see what's happening.

I do ekimdrachir - I pay for the data feeds so I can do just that, in real time. Prices go up and down all day long, closing is what counts. Right now it's lower then when it opened and is very close to passing where it closed yesterday. That would be a down day IF it happens. But like I said it's moving more sideways then up right now, and of course that will change at some point in time.

Gold is constantly attacked but still resilient
Seems that the Bizarro PPT is trying to keep gold between this level:
GOLD ALL TIME HIGHS' HISTORY

 When 5 Year Gold shows an increase of more than 200% a fall of 13.041% ($1895 to $1663) is just a small bump in the road. I used to be in selling long-term energy contracts. We used to show the prospects a chart exactly like that one, using the assumption that an upward trend will continue indefinitely -- the message being, "you'd better buy now!" The people who bought our 5-year natural gas supply at all-time highs right before a total crash in 2008 -- who, for the last two years have been paying 300% more than they should have -- are now cursing the day they signed with us. By the way, I quit that business once it became apparent that I was being used scam people. Aside from the question of ever-escalating value in commodities (which in every single historical instance, has been wrong), I'm skeptical about the value of gold as money. As others have pointed out, once that expected economic calamity comes, you can't eat, wear, live in, drink, or smoke gold. In the wake of an economic collapse, small farmers and households and shops who need to trade with each other are not going to be able to take your gold bullion anyway. The majority of people will want a familiar currency of which they have some idea of its value in labor or in other commodities. If you have coins, weighing and assaying them will prove too time-consuming. Anything is money as long as it's generally accepted in trade. As heretical as it sounds to the hardcore Austrians, that's the facts! If people accept pyrite in exchange, then pyrite is money. Same for cigarettes, beads, seashells. If they accept paper debt-currency made by the Federal Reserve, then those too are money. Show me one gold promoter who does not gladly accept, deposit, and spend, Federal Reserve currency. It's not the best money since it is manipulated by forces not answerable to the people. But it is money. As far as national currency needs are concerned, the real issue with the dollar is to put the currency back under the control of an entity that is publicly accountable. If people feel that this is still too much obeisance to the state, then I guess all money, including gold and silver, ultimately has that problem, since all metallic money historically was standardized and stamped by kings, and the custom of trading in metallic monies goes back to pagan temples.

I experienced that myself in Roemenia were I was just after Chaushesku's fall were people used Marlboro cigarettes as payment to the dentist or whatever. People would stop me constantly to ask me for western cigarettes and since it was practicaly impossible for me to fulfill all of their demands I would offer them one of them own which taste like smokin washing powder to see the disappointment on their faces. But Marlboro's were hard to come by in Roemenia in those days so it's true to a certain degree cause seashells won't do if they are used as money in an area were seashells are abundent. And Gold Silver have been accepted as money for thousands of years so beat seashells historically speakin.

California leads the way in gold and silver sales on eBay 14 October 2011, by Michael Allan McCrae (Mining.com) http://www.mining.com/2011/10/14/california-leads-the-way-in-gold-and-silver-sales-on-ebay/?utm_source=digest-en-mining-111014After launching its eBay bullion center in May, the online retailer published a handy infographic this summer to look at buying trends. Looking at absolute number of items sold, California leads the way, probably due to the size of the state, but on a per capita basis, Alaska comes first. The study also found that silver items were the most popular, followed by gold. Platinum was a distant third. The bullion center was profiled by CommodityOnline, which found that gold prices were a bit lower on eBay than on Kitco or on BullionVault, the other two online bullion sellers. According to eBay spokesperson Todd Witkemper, economic volatility has been good for the new service. In line with recent economic activity, the Bullion Center has seen significant increases in activity as well, Witkemper told CommodityOnline.

Gold mines in the spotlight 15 October 2011, (The Telegraph) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/investing/gold/8829297/Gold-mines-in-the-spotlight.htmlEfforts to extract the yellow metal continue to grab the headlines. Here are a few of the sites currently getting attention. CononishMore than 140 years after the last British gold rush, at Kildonan in Sutherland, prospectors are hoping to strike lucky in Scotland. Negotiations are continuing to reopen a mine in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Planners have said that proposals to extract gold and silver from the underground mine in Cononish Glen near Tyndrum should be approved. The development was turned down by the National Park Authority board last year amid concerns the mine would spoil the look of the beauty spot, overlooked by Ben Lui, which is scaled by up to 15,000 climbers a year. Olympic Dam BHP Billiton is planning turn its existing mining operation some 560km (350 miles) north of Adelaide, Australia, into the world's biggest open cast mine a site so vast that it is expected to affect local weather patterns. The expanded site would exploit its uranium, which represents more than a third of the world's known deposits, to take its place as the world's biggest uranium mine. But it also boasts the worlds fifth largest gold deposits not to be sniffed at. Mother Lode Companies say large-scale mining has become viable again in the Golden State, California. The metal was first discovered in the state in 1848 by James Marshall, a carpenter, at Sutter's Mill. Mining for gold in the state largely dried up after the Second World War. But next year, for the first time since the 1950s, the main gold mining area, known as the California Mother Lode, will have a commercially operated mine producing gold bars. The reopened Lincoln Mine, near the historic Highway 49, is expected to extract 1,800 ounces of gold each month. Grasberg This huge Indonesian complex, one of the world's biggest gold mines, is in the limelight for all the wrong reasons as it struggles with strike action. More than 8,000 of the 23,000 workers at the mine, owned by US company Freeport McMoRan, have been striking for weeks as they demand significant wage increases. They say they are the lowest paid Freeport workers in the world, earning between $1.50 (95p) and $3.50 an hour. News out of the giant complex worsened on Saturday as police reported that three contract workers brought in keep production going have been shot dead in am ambush. It was not immediately clear whether the violence was linked to the strike dispute.

Mining giant sparks Europe's new gold rush 15 October 2011, by Andrew Cave, Rosia Montana, Romania (The Telegraph) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/investing/gold/8829191/Mining-giant-sparks-Europes-new-gold-rush.htmlThe river runs red in Rosia Montana. The rouge-coloured run-off of zinc, iron, arsenic and other sulphides from nearly 2,000 years of gold mining make the waterway in Romanias Transylvanian mountains live up to the areas name, which means red mountain in Romanian.

Gold found in Swiss Alps 8 October 2011, (planetski) http://www.planetski.eu/news/3156 A large nugget has been found by a hiker in the ski resort of Crans-Montana. It is thought to be the largest nugget ever discovered in The Alps. The location of where it was found is being kept secret. A German man, who wished to reman anonymous, found the nugget as he walked along the River Tiθche. The man says that he made his discovery 'quite by chance' during a hike along the banks of the river. He has had it assessed by experts and it is real. It has a diameter of 7 centimetres (2.76 inches), is 3.5 cm (1.3 inches) thick and weighs 128.5 grams (4.5 ounces). No value has yet been put on it and experts are now examining the find. The Crans-Montana tourist office says it is surprised by the size and weight of the nugget. The area has not been known to contain gold, in the past it has been discovered in the north of the country, and now the news is out it is thought others might soon start looking. Local authorities are concerned it might produce a gold rush as fortune seekers descend on the area. "The exact location where the nugget was found will not be revealed for environmental and safety reasons. This should protect Crans-Montana and surrounding areas against excessive crowds of gold-seekers. Thank you very much for your understanding," said a statement we have been sent by the local Tourist Office.  btw Heavy snow has fallen in many parts of The Alps. For some ski resorts it is the first big fall of the coming season though of course much of it will melt. In the meantime lets enjoy it and think of things to come. Welcome to winter. http://www.planetski.eu/news/3157Another La Niρa winter in USA http://www.planetski.eu/news/3147

Hong Kong starts trading gold in renminbi 17 October 2011, by Nick Ferguson (Finance Asia) http://www.financeasia.com/News/276911,hong-kong-starts-trading-gold-in-renminbi.aspxExcerpt:Depositors in Hong Kong can now convert their idle renminbi deposits into gold.Hong Kongs Chinese Gold & Silver Exchange Society officially starts trading gold denominated in renminbi today, in a bid to attract the HK$600 billion of Chinese currency sitting on deposit in the citys banks. Haywood Cheung, president of the 101-year-old bullion exchange, said the so-called Renminbi Kilobar Gold contracts could boost trading volumes by up to 30%, or HK$40 billion a day, during the next six months. Growth has already been strong this year, with average daily electronic transactions reaching HK$136 billion after a full-year average of just HK$31 billion in 2010. By attracting both local and international investors, the Renminbi Kilobar Gold is a significant step towards internationalising the renminbi, said Cheung. It also consolidates Hong Kongs position as an offshore renminbi centre by providing investors with a new alternative in leveraged trading of renminbi.

Gold prices to crash to $1000 in April-May 2012: John Taylor 20 October 2011, by John Taylor - New York (CommodityOnline) http://www.commodityonline.com/news/Gold-prices-to-crash-to-$1000-in-April-May-2012-John-Taylor-43106-3-1.htmlGold price is expected to reach $1800 in November, top out and then fall to $1000-$1200 by April or May providing a big buying opportunity, says John Taylor of FX Concepts LLC. John Taylor is the founder of FX Concepts LLC, the largest currency hedge fund in the world and had earlier predicted in July that gold will reach $1900/oz. Gold prices had rallied from $1500/oz in July to $1900/oz in Aug-Sept. However, prices have since crashed and gold is now trading at around $1625. He however pegs gold to reach $1800 by November next month. November looks to us like a cyclical high for risk and for us that would be almost a perfect time for Gold to have its cycle peak. Then its going to be weak after that. That sort of fits in with our forecast which is really negative for the economy next year, Bloomberg quoted Taylor On his prediction of gold reaching $1000-$1200 in April-May, Taylor saysI think its probably a big buy. Theres nothing to stop it from going up. Monetary systems are grotesquely screwed up, especially in Europe and also in the U.S. Theres going to be an awful lot of confusion going on for the next decade.

If you can't afford gold, what do you do with your cash? I don't have any but if I had I would buy silver. You know what they say: Silver is the poor man's gold and that's true.

Over one in ten Brits have a gold stash worth more than what they have in the bank 19 October 2011, by Frik Els (Mining) http://www.mining.com/2011/10/19/over-one-in-ten-brits-have-a-gold-stash-worth-more-than-what-they-have-in-the-bank/Excerpt:According to a new survey by esure home insurance British distrust of banks and savings accounts has increased to such an extent that more than one in ten in the United Kingdom now own a stash of gold valued above any cash savings. According to the survey, more than 38% of Britons also say investing in gold is better than keeping cash savings. As gold vending machines pop up in shopping malls and physical gold retailers like London-based Bullionvault surpass some central banks in gold holdings, 14% of Britons bought an item of gold as an investment in the past year.

I don't have any but if I had I would buy silver.
You know what they say: Silver is the poor man's gold and that's true.
But it's also relative.
