Everything was hammered last week.

The mellys of this world are all short.

Dow futures are off 100.

Euro markets are off 50 to 150 points.

Everything is negative.

It will only take a glimmer of good news, such as QE3 rumour and huge upside.Love

find a spot and get on.

Sorry benny the clown but most of us don't speak clownland language. Can you elaborate on "find a spot"?

Remind me again what does that exactly mean in clownland language? Does it mean "get on now"? Does it mean "get into position to get on and then get on when little voices whisper in your ear", or does it mean "take the other side if you spot a kangaroo today"?



P.S. By the way, I'm still trying to find a spot to get on for the euro's relentless drive to 1.40. Tick, tock, tick, tock....LMFAO

I'll answer my own question. None, zero, zilch, no losses at all, because everything you put up here is a big joke, a fantasy, a detachment from reality, a figment of your imagination.

Oh, and one more thing about your laughable rear-view mirror daily joke-calls on here.

If you waited to spot a "rush to this exits this week", then you're way too late to the party.....as usual.

The AUD was NEVER poised to go to 1.10 and the EUR NEVER had a relentless drive to 1.40. Only a massively ignorant clown saw it that way.

You get ahead of massive moves in......FEBRUARY, not "this week"

Since you make us laugh so hard every day on here, I'll let you in on a secret my little empty cranium friend, the AUD is the short of the year. As for the euro, tick......tick.......tick.......

Going down in price, not value. Oil was 2g of gold per barrel a few weeks ago. As of yesterday it was 1.9
Report Whippet May 16, 2012 6:30 PM BST
Are you seriously claiming that gold has actually gone up in value since the start of the year?

I think you will find that if you compare the gold price to all every day items (e.g petrol, food, booze, electricity etc) it will buy you far less than it would have 6 months ago. This is pretty much an undeniable fact - all of the above have increased drastically in price with inflation, whereas the gold price has gone down recently.

Gold will end the year higher than it began the year.

Report Menelaus May 16, 2012 7:39 PM BST
Here it goes for the last time perhaps you numbskulls will finally get it.

If you're paying attention to the paper price of PMs, other than figure out when you should be buying more, you shouldn't be in PMs.

Buy the physical WITHOUT leverage, get it in YOUR POSSESSION and put it away until it finally sinks in to everyone who can fog a mirror that the monetary system is broken, and there is no such thing as "muddle through" this fecking mess. The problems are structural, not cyclical. There is a massive debt overhang and not enough organic growth to be able to pay the coupon. And yes, that minor annoyance, cheap oil is gone, FOREVER. Is that so fecking hard to understand?

When will the day of reckoning be? When it becomes obvious to every lemming trading these markets that inflation is significantly higher than the yield on the UST 10 year, not this manipulated 2pc bullsh1t. That is the bubble of all bubbles. That day is not that far away.

The banking cartel has complete and unencumbered control of the precious metals markets with total impunity. If you don't understand and accept that, again you shouldn't be in PMs. Anyone who can dump enough paper selling 3/4's of the world's annual silver production on the markets in 5 minutes with the regulators not even batting an eye, HAS COMPLETE CONTROL of the metals markets.

If you let that bother you, if you're not able to see past that, and use PMs for what they really are…..A WEALTH PRESERVING MECHANISM when the system fails, you shouldn't own any. Or if you do, you are owning PMs for all the wrong reasons.

Report FINE AS FROG HAIR May 16, 2012 9:53 PM BST
Why am I not surprised ?
Btw I have a quirky question for Menelaus. Perhaps someone could put it to him for me.
What is likely to happen to the sports betting markets if and when the world's financial system completely collapses, and mayhem breaks loose.
That's really of more interest to me tbh.
You see I'm a " muddle through " winner there too and I would also like that to continue "as is " if at all possible.
Or will I have to deposit gold bars with BF inorder to fund my account to underwrite my bets and lays.
Report FINE AS FROG HAIR May 16, 2012 11:23 PM BST
Btw does anybody else find it somewhat interesting that Menelaus is apparently advising dumping a substantial portion of one's net worth into non-interest bearing phsical gold, while at the same time he has no idea of the time frame when this investment will prove its worth.
Pretty hard to fund one's living expenses in that scenario, without in fact drawing down on capital, which would seem to be slightly counterproductive, particularly if one's living expenses are hyper inflating as much as Menelaus is claiming they are, apparently to most, if not all, of our collective knowledge or awareness.
Report FINE AS FROG HAIR May 16, 2012 11:27 PM BST
Sorry to go on.
But I am planning to do up one of my bathrooms, and would like someone to ask Menelaus for me if I should be considering gold tap fittings. I'm sure he has them in his Knightsbridge residence. Should I draw the line perhaps at the loo seat ?
Report FINE AS FROG HAIR May 16, 2012 11:34 PM BST
Also could someone please ask him if I should be selling my GE puts ( taken out quite a long time ago on his recommendation of imminent GE bankruptcy- which unfortunately have been underwater from day one ) to fund some physical gold purchases ?
Never too late to get on the bandwagon ?
Now I'm not saying that every call that Menelaus makes should be 100% right ( though he seems to say that), but I would like a fighting chance every now and again.
Report FINE AS FROG HAIR May 16, 2012 11:43 PM BST
Btw finally ( I promise) why would you tool around in a gas guzzling high end porsche if you sincerely believe that the days of cheap oil are well and truly over ? Now that is a puzzling contradiction. Or has he stockpiled some cheap oil somewhere too ?  Perhaps he know got in very presciently in the days when it dipped as low as sub $ 10$ a  barrel. Wouldn't surprise me in fact, given all that he writes and claims.
If he in fact has such an obvious disregard for discretionery personal expenditure, prsches, two expensive houses, a wife who apparently spends more on clothes in a week than most people spend on food in a year etc etc, is he in fact the man one should be looking to for personal investment advice ?

As opposed to Menelaus reducing it to BAD taste ?
Now I have no idea really whether Mr Ben makes what he claims to make in day trading the markets, nor do I much care.
But unlike Menelaus I do not assume that you must have deep financial knowledge and sophistication to day trade.
It's a different skill entirely to " serious" investing and , as such, does attract many players who would appear not to be all that well educated in financial theory.
But does that axiomatically equate to them being " idiots or clueless cretins " as Menelaus is all too fond of saying.
I don't think so, and I think Menelaus just demeans himself by making these types of statements ad nauseam.

(Wow, I've outdone myself, that's some sentence :) )
