Gold is my new short term baby.Big drop last night.In on this morning at what I hope near the days low of 1202.10. In for 20 contracts. Great opportunity for the upside.
The gold market obviously is not going to go straight up forever, but if one believes that a weaker U.S. dollar and higher inflation rates lie ahead, as seems quite likely, the long side of gold looks like the place to be if you are prepared to venture into a market that can become quite volatile.

wonder if china will be buying on this monster dip

nasty fall, my first wrong call for a while. I averaged down at 1152.1 now long 40 @1177. closed around 1161 for a loss of about 6500$.Small change at this stage.
As I have said before stay invested at a very small proportion of capital and you can handle these adverse situations. Questions is- has the game changed now? Will the us dollar rise now and gold fall more.Somehow I doubt it. |

oh well i had to take a bath here.Lost 22,000$ on this trade. cant win them all I guess.Will move to the sidelines till after christmas.Still up since mid october around 170,000$. Am considering shorting my beloved aussie dollar.The game may have changed now so wait a little longer for some confirmation.

you will be back betting the same directions. and i dont blame you :)

mr ben - u know what i find strange about all this. remember yr aussie dollar post, a couple of months ago, when u told people to buy at around 88 (a few of us got on at 89, thanks again) and is onside straight away, yr post had a couple of replies in the first day or so.
u put up another trade, which goes against u almost immediately, and u get 14 replies in the first day! enjoy yr christmas and thanks again - u certainly helped out with that aud trade. |
|
By:
what i find stranger is that mr ben tells the world and his dog to buy gold, it collapses and he goes quiet. i'm glad he made money on the other stuff but if you put your head above the parapet when times are good, same when you are hurting.

Yep!

differing views bout gold.....some say it could hit $1500.....others say $3000......best judge going to be yourself.
|
|
By:
In my opinion, a better long-term trade than Gold is to go long on USD / JPY.
Or... as a very short term trade, going long on EUR / CHF if we get down to around 1.46ish. The Swiss Central Bank have already intervened twice in the last week or so. Gotta be good for a couple of hundred easy pips. |

gold is for gamblers,like betting on roulette,has no real value (well limted value) pays no dividends cost you to hold it (a bit dodgy round your neck)its from an age thjat has past ,unless we move backwards through some major catastrophe gold has only one way to go DOWN .(i'm not talking about next week).
