Those pesky greeks
Why can't they leave me alone ?
Now I have gone and done it ; told them no help for those that can help themselves

She wondering how many other EU countries  are  greeks hiding in the waves.  "Vee need to audit everyvone of these skinny-dipping bastards"  

As best as I can remember it (ten years ago) this is a story Victor Niederhoffer recites in his book:

There once was a Rabbi whose parishioners paid tribute to him every year by pouring a bottle of wine into a well. One year in which the economy was very bad a parishioner did not have the money to buy  wine. He did not want the others to know that he was broke so he thought he would just take an empty wine bottle fill it with water and pour it in the well along with the others. After all with hundreds of other parishioners pouring in real wine who would know the difference? So on the day that parishioners poured their tribute  into the well, he poured in a bottle of water.

That night the Rabbi went out to the well to draw some wine for himself but when  the bucket came up all it had in it was pure water.

I am not a paid writer of investment advice so I can change my mind
as much as I want
Two scenarios possible
1) the 107 days high is in
2) the cycle is extending and the high will be in circa 14 calendar days based on a
35 days subsubcycle and the chart made with 17.3.3
subcycles are often 50 or 35 days centered

Conclusion I am waiting to see whether the triangle resolves to the upside and what
slow stochs 17.3.3 does

Belgian TV reported a remarkable court case
Somebody living in the poor part of Wallonia in an ex steel town Charleroi
Was ordered before court since he refused to pay back 10 000 euro subsidies
for having insulated his house and not lived in it for the full 7 contractual years
but only 4 years
His defense was that he had been carjacked and home jacked several times
and that he and his family had enough of the part of the country .
The judge pronounced the defense null and void and said that anybody
having and driving a jaguar in that part of the country was crying out to be
carjacked or homejacked and that flounting his riches was seeking for trouble

Specialists say that supermarkets with multi thousand euro TV's and apparel better
watch out because they are provoking the not haves in "liberating" all that equipment

The capitalist in the meantime goes to higher court because he refuses to pay back
the 10 000 euro  

In a sloppier part of Brussels called Anderlecht a highschool moved out because they were fed up with being molested by legal or illigal aliens and since the jails are full

SOOOO many people come and ask asylum in Belgium and the procedure is sooo long

April lows looking to be on time. Would feel better if $1060 gets re-checked, doesn't seem to be out of the realm of possibility. A break down is unwanted. Sold some CGC on the open for a few dollars more than I paid for it to have more cash at the ready.

So far miners are not being beat up on as a whole group which is a good thing. I've waited years, a few more months won't hurt as long as confidence in all things paper continues to tank.

Looks like the whole sector takes a beating for 2 or 3 weeks now. It just pretending and reporting inflation and deflation causes and effects. Hyper-inflation possibilities are being ignored except by a few. If deflation was allowed to take its course chaos would ensue worldwide. Governments don't have the stomach for that and hyper-inflation is the only answer.

I herewith concede the subcycle top was 3.3.10 and the subcycle was 90 days were I expected
95 days based on the december surprise and 107 days based on the 8 previous years

If I stick with 95 days we are now allready in day 23 of 95 for a sunday 6 th subhigh ( matematically since my chart tradeson sunday as well ) So the gold low is close and perhaps a bit later for miners

That means that with perfect hindsight the slow stoch setting had to be 45.3.3

Don't you have politicians who can make your investments for you? Here's one our success stories. I'm sure TARpit and AbominationCare will yield the same sterling results.

"Amtrak was sold to the public in ’71 as an investment opportunity. With a monopoly on rail traffic between America’s most populous cities…throughout the biggest economic boom in history…you’d think Amtrak couldn’t help but make money. It was supposed to turn a profit in 1974. It didn’t. Nor did it make a profit in 1975…or 1976…or 1977…1978…1979…1980…etc… All the way up to today. It never made a profit. It just lowered service levels and kept chugging along. And now the feds are still pumping more than $2 billion per year into the zombie railroad.

I cannot be bothered with 12 million $
If anybody is willing to do the paperwork I will take 10% finders fee 

I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer Mr. Irshad Ahmad, a Pakistani arms dealer in
Afghanistan who placed huge investment under our banks management.

He invested 27.4 million United States dollars in an investment banking portfolio of my bank
(Shanghai Pudong Development Bank) in March 2003. By the end of March, 2008, the fund was worth
31,500,000 million United States dollars at 0.35% fixed interest rate and profit from investment portfolios
based on professional advice for low market risk investments. Since this time, the bank has sent several
notices to Mr. Irshad Ahmad as customer follow up and possible investment update since he is a high profile
customer with no response. It was after thorough investigation that I got information that Irshad Ahmad and
his family had been killed during one of NATO onslaughts in Afghanistan.

Due to the sensitive nature of Ahmad business, he never wanted to live any traces to his private account and
did not nominate any next of kin to his investments and funds and also left his WILL in our care.
Mr. Irshad Ahmad died with no known relative to claim his funds and investments. This means that his fund will
be claimed by the bank and subsequently by the Chinese government if no one come to claim it.
Now, there is a total sum of 31,500,000 million United States dollars unclaimed fund in my bank that I want you
to stand as the next of kin for; and have planned out a water tight safe system for you to claim and provide you
with all necessary information for easy transfer of the fund to you without any hitch. On completion of this project,
your share will be 40% of the 31,500,000 million United States dollars. I count on your maturity and confidence
not to betray me because I am a family man and have a reputable career to protect.
I await your response.

Regards,

I have turned down millions just in the last couple of weeks. I am just like Old Dan as all the legalities would wear me down to nothing. And seeing how I have managed to be someone's long lost heir, about ever 7 days or so and seem to be on the world's most "honest and trusted" list that everyone with money to give away or sneak out of a foreign nation knows they can count on me. I am just overwhelmed with honor but I was brought up to believe one must work for their wealth and that is how I managed to get on the world's "most honest and trusted" list in the first place!  Doing something on the shady side might make me look like a criminal, or even worse, a POLITICIAN so I have to pass the offers up!

Had the grocery store clerk (single mother of two young girls) ask about a check sent to her to cash and keep a portion and wire the balance back. Wanted to know what to do. I said throw it away and never consider such an offer again, the check will bounce. She wanted to know how some one could cheat another person like that. I said, " Because they want your money?" I guess in grocery-store-land the sun always shines.

We got the rich folks that were thrown in the ring by those in power and told to pick one. Elections are a figment of our imagination and to appease folks who really do think they are free? We are all going to find out how free just as soon as Obamacare kicks in. The Feds are a smart bunch as they are going to MAKE the states raise all their taxes, as its been dumped off on them!

Did anyone ever hear the (probably now banned) story in High School about a  science teacher somewhere who while lecturing on the importance of observation in the lab was  assaulted  by a banana wielding freak who stabs him to death with the banana?

And then when they interview the students as to what they saw, the science teacher was stabbed to death by anything ranging from samurai sword to a thumb tack. But never a banana. Because that doesn't make sense. I believe the shrinks call it cognitive dissonance. And/or  a science teacher with theater envy.  

This is exactly what we have with BO. All of his life has been about socialism and social justice so it won't  make any sense when I claim that there is not  a pinch of  shit worth of difference between him and George Bush. But that's my claim and I'm sticking to it.

We're still in Iraq, and Afghanistan. Every week he goes out and does some kind of sock puppet attack on banks or insurance companies but they still get their bail outs and their absurd bonuses. Oh and I believe he and his wife did rather well trading in real estate didn't they? Socialists trading in real estate? That really is "progressive!"  

Obama care? Reining in obscene profits of the insurance industry, doctors and drug makers. Don't hold your breath. Obama care is a back door bail out for the insurance cockroaches, and a new profit center for doctors and drug makers. Oh, but it will be a total gulag for "The People." That part of the socialism they got right.

  My Dad started out as a radio man aboard ship (could pick Morse code out of the air even some encoded and type over hundred words a minute on a manual typewriter) then retired as a naval aviator.
  He told me once where he was test piloting the forerunner to auto-pilots, of course in its crude form, where he would flip a switch on and a solenoid/servo motor would allow hydraulic control of flaps, rudder, etc. for a so many degree bank turn or whatever switch off the plane arrives back to straight and level except one time a solenoid stayed open while the rest functioned properly sending him into a flat spin. He said by the time he recovered (I remember him going through the motions of trying to fight centrifugal force with two hands on the stick to get the plane to dive out of the spin) he could count the blades of grass on the ground.
  So happens he had a photographer in the backseat at the time but couldn't raise a response from him because he had passed out with the G forces. Photographer back on the ground swore he would never fly again.

I just get bigger hard drives since I store a lot. Last one was Western Digital  650gig 'green' which means it sleeps most of the time (doesn't spin) until you make a request of something off it and it wakes up a little slow until it is up and running like any normal drive actually quite quick with large on board cache. Should have bought the 2 terabyte drive since the gig-to-price ratio is well worth it. Have 1.5 terabyte as it is with 3 drives in use.

I guess my one o'clock post got lost in hyper-space.

Do you have an idea why Minefinders has stopped moving allover the place and stopped moving mainly up ?

I have moving to a different tune and not moving much
Anglogold, Harmony, Drooy, Tanzanian
I have bottombuilders
Kinross , Yamana and chartwise they look identical so I guess one of the two has to go
I am only happy with
Great basin gold , Oceana,New gold

This tells me I need to get more dynamical since the last three were all three added the last few months . Any suggestions what to look at next ?

Yesterday BO gave his zombies the  "well actually" April Fool's joke, saying   without Health Care reform the United States would go bankrupt. Maybe his zombies could waddle up to the window and  look outside.   We already are bankrupted.

But the same federal government that took over Penn Central in 1970 and renamed it Amtrak and told everyone that it would be a "good investment" is going to do even better with an eleven trillion dollar industry? Excuse me if I'm skeptical but we're still waiting, 40 years, later for Amtrak to make money.
Government and "good investment?"  That's the oxymoron of the eon.

Helpful hint Mr. President: As even a 10 year old operating a lemon aid stand knows, you must produce something to make money.  Shoveling dirt back and forth in a field and propping up  retards does the opposite.

AIG?

I think I remember something about the state of Nevada taking over a brothel once and losing money. But why not? A state is just a mini-me of the fed as kalifornia constantly demonstrates.

I ask people to name something that the fed can do right. Anything big or small. And the only they can come up with is fielding an army. I agree that they can do that well or at least better than other countries but it's still the economy that supports the military.

This government is pretty good at warring esp. with this volunteer army. Our current commander in chief will reverse that also.

Whoever said government was about running a business and  making money? It's all about power and control with some money thrown in. Examples are endless.

Miners are like any other stock. You need good management and resources with expenses not to exceed profits near or long term. If you are just treading water lately then you are doing okay since the sector is constantly manipulated as if gold is useless. Again, only the producers or on the verge of producing show any signs of strength like NGD. You would be better off just to hold through for a few more months for a conformation of trend into autumn if confirmation fails then you can begin worrying. RGLD sits on piles of gold and silver, they don't even own a shovel. NG doesn't produce but keeps adding reserves because they keep drilling exploratory holes and finding more fruitful earth albeit some finds 50% shared. Most miners own lots of shovels and keep drilling but come up dry or are in the process of depleting reserves.

I re-weight positions by selling off under-performers, wait for some lows then load up on producers like NGD. NG I still consider a long shot but playing it's 5% moves all time keeps me adding its shares slowly but surely. I've lightened up on Capital Gold and Great Basin lately moving into NGD or sitting on the cash. Watching FRG NXG trying out GSS have some TGB,  IAG looking ripe, small position in HL. Lots of take over targets that run up until assimilated, nice if you catch the right train.

Look at Thursday's biggest gainers by percentage and you'll get a good idea of which miners are attracting interest but don't be surprised that they get beat up on again soon (another buying opportunity). Any large upward movements I'm inclined to take profits during this trading range just to get back in on some lows. Even my piece of shit PMPIX was up over 6% that one I can't wait to unload but hold for long term tax advantage when I do sell.

I keep saying TRE doesn't have the gold reserves it needs to make the big time as a royalty company. Things could change. Probably run up anyway as the Chinese tease it but I seem to be doing better elsewhere than playing that drama.

1% chance hyper-inflation doesn't take hold and a total melt down in everything everywhere occurs including gold.

I was in the run up 40 years ago to 850 $ So I know what should get me worried
Seven and I agree that 2012 is the earliest for a blow off ; probably much later 2016 or so.
Basically  I follow the 12 candle cycle which is still up and up . Everything in between is
show .
I am into mines and gold since 1999 and in the first 5 years the South Africans paid more
dividend then my bank deposits and the mines kept going up . The dividends are over and the potential seems over too ; apart from Drooy which is a lottery ticket . If the price of gold goes up 50% in one year Drooy may perform miracles.
 
Belgium has no capital gains taxes ; so I can reposition as I like ; when I like . I already got out 40% of the South Africans the last few weeks and into New Gold
I think from now on we got to start going up because the 12 candle cycle is in the 6 th candle and the bottom should be in or close at midpoint on the montlies
I am making some money because most of my miners are in Canadian dollars and those are up 15% against the euro abetting the pain of miners gone down 10-20 % since its peak
Also gold in euro is near its all time high and for the past 10 years my return on gold is better then my return on shares ( I am a good gold timer and a passable share picker but I should close out and rotate sooner )

I want to move into better performing miners without going to the pink sheets like the german forum is doing . My best pick this year was Oceana with 50% in two months.
But it is maxed out in all time frames now ( although this can keep going on with slow stochs)

I will look at the stocks you mentioned but on chartbasis I rejected NG allready several times . I am tracking Osisko and Aura .

After reading through the most recent posts I have decided that all states should legalize prostitution and tax the devil out of their profits. It would be just like all the legalized gambling we now cope with! And quite honestly it would be exactly the same thing. The state makes a fortune in taxes and the little guy always gets screwed!!!

[whadda]

After I took some time to look at MFN facts and figures from their web site they just don't have the reserves (couple million ounces known) necessary to hit the big time right now. They claim no hedging but pay RGLD 3% or recently $30 for every ounce along with other conventional financing costs, they just can't bear their own costs without help. They predicted some targets last year and missed which is being reflected in the share price now. They are doing everything right like making nice with the locals but mining output is going to be limited, They need to be at least self sufficient.

Oceanagold has near 6 mil oz of gold in the ground with maybe 3 mil more laying around somewhere with good monthly production. They are admittedly hedged so they might reach a plateau and get stuck there until they payoff that book entry.

GOLD RESOURCE CORP (with an assist by HOCHSCHILD MINING) began production on near surface gold claiming $100 an ounce costs and own 5 properties 100%. Guys seem to prefer this one over MFN, I don't know, I can only find 1mil in stated resources and $27mil lost last year but hey, following herd mentality couldn't hurt much until that cliff comes into view, at least according to corresponding share prices.

Back to NG with 18 mil ounces known with a total of 36 mil ounces untapped between them with ABX as a half partner, NG's part is to cover costs in exploring and drilling with ABX covering the eventual mining costs when production finally begins. 50/50 split of net proceeds.
You can see where 36 trumps a couple million or even 6 or 8 million ounces.

IAG still looks good for the long haul.

As spot rises every miner does better except the hedged ones but the mines already free and clear now will be the real winners.

If you can't decide on a miner, buy some more gold coins.

Thanks for the info
Though I got an MBA from Northwestern Univ 1981 I swore never to look at fundamental funnies because they are so easy to manipulate but to look at charts first and second and third and then maybe read the homepage to make sure I am not buying a watch manufacturer such as Omega gold 

MFN I bought 6 months before their first goldpouring at some mine and traded a dozen times my cost is 3.63 cad at present so I don't worry allthough the chart now looks indifferent as a newslettre writer I would rate it a hold

Oceana as reported by Kitco closed out all their hedgies and that is probably why they went up 50% when only insiders knew and chartreaders like me ; I am at 1.30 cad average and happy ; a strong hold for today

NG got rated 3.5 by Kitco ( sell) and way overbought in all time frames by me
My rating wait and see

I never seriously looked at I am gold 

I have been trucking to the money exchangers that sell gold at spot with a spread of 3% for for 4 years starting at 300 euro per ounce and it is now 850 per ounce
Then I started buying at melt on the bay
Now I am buying from german forum members

I am starting to think of starting to sell at 1200 euro those unsightly Krugers and Eagles and Maples and the Nuggets with slide and fingerprints ( that is the Roos)
My wife stated that I probably will die with most unique goldcoins still unsold 

I hope when Seven's mother finally  died he can help her sell the coins when I am dead
since I would hate some scrounger to get them 40% below value because the widow has to pay 30% tax on everything

Hedging or not depends on the definition usually hedges less than a year out are not considered hedging just creative financing. Trouble any way you look at it on a large upward movement in gold price.

Looks like a toy to me.

[TwoShadows]

Kind of look like a toy to me. They could do much better by buying airsofts from China and painting the orange end black. My little guy has an AR-15 that looks exactly like the real thing other than the orange marked muzzle. A little black paint could get a guy killed. If I remember correctly we have had two paintballers killed here in the states when someone called the cops about a man with a gun. The paintballer is looking for other paintballers with a paint ball gun and a cop is looking for a man with a gun. Both of them will see just that in low light but one is using real bullets. Guess thats why I wouldn't play paintball outside in a city.
I don't know if we are supposed to be impressed by the photo? They just as well have a fake gun as they won't be using it. The so called leaders will strap a bomb onto the chest of their patsy for maximum results. You never have to worry about your bomber giving up any information when he/she uses such a weapon so the masterminds (leaders) don't fear too many reprisals. Its called tying up loose ends?
