I decided NOT to buy gold when Glenn Beck started peddling it on his radio show. I don't much about investing, but I know that my investment advisor shouldn't be some kook with a radio show. My grandfather told me not to take hot tips from someone who was still working..esp selling something to make money from me!!

That is some astute guidance...they don't tell you that you ARE NOT ALLOWED TO OWN GOLD IN YOUR IRA...it is a prohibitive transaction and a prohibited asset...UNLESS you buy US Minted gold coins which are .9999994 fine gold and come in denominations of 1 oz, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8th...also they must be held by a verified custodian...if not it can invalidate your entire IRA, 401K, and any tax deferred pension plan you have...making it taxable immediately + penalty equaling 100% tax!

Nobody said it was all us.
FTI warned you to sell Gold. That's a good thing. And its not rigged. If you study history, investments go in cycles. You need to anticipate when the folks who own a large amount of a certain investment are going to sell. And try to keep ahead of the game.

if you are "playing" the commodities pit, you may as well go to vegas
gold, silver, oil, wheat, corn, pork bellies, etc
all a suckers game.....
better to bet on red at the roulette wheel
now if you want to talk equities.....
that is a whole different ballgame imo

I'll await your response. It dropped $2 because more folks sold the stock than bought it. That's a 1.1% drop.

Hummm, ok a rigged game. A bit of a generality, so what is meant by "a rigged game" exactly? With that who exactly would the riggers be and towards what end? Are you saying crude prices are "rigged" by the same entity(ies) who "rig" the stock market or is it the commodity markets you're referring to? I'll await your response ... namaste

I'm going to show my ignorance here ... When they say their holdings went up, does that mean they actually have physical gold stored somewhere and received 6.61 tonnes of real gold to add to the vault or are they saying they have acquired new paper saying they're owners of that much gold? If their holdings are actually physical gold, where is it stored? Is this kinda like the aluminum (and soon to be copper) physically controlled by Goldman Sachs? Me, I'm going to go audit how much gold I have in my safety deposit box (if I can find the damn key), then I'm betting it all on the long shot in the fifth race at Saratoga .....

People that have gold now are getting an early Christmas present with this Syrian thing. I would be thinking about an exit point if you own gold, not holding it ultra long term. Once again the "King Dollar" is showing itself as the safe haven currency. Any move toward financial responsibility by the American government is bad news for gold.

Rigged? No.......A game played by knuckleheads? Sometimes... I can remember not to long ago when oil was $147 a barrel and people were actually making the argument (and many actually believed it) that the price had doubled in a matter of months because of demand.....as if the world had actually begun to use twice as much oil overnight.....and, miraculously, all the gasoline and oil products everyone needed and wanted were readily available. No gas lines or rationing.
Come on......say it slowly....SPEC...U..LA...TION.....
We've seen gold drop 4% in one day.......rigged too?

Sun, the SPDR holds physical gold in a vault and sells you the fractional reserve, just like how some banks are holding scrap metal now too, yes. In both cases the market controls the price, and in both cases these business find ways to make money on the margins. The article you linked it to skews it in an interesting way, acting like Goldman is the only one making money off scrap metal, but I can assure you there are lots of people out their making money off scrap. It's a business just like any other. Start? More like the accumulation of thousands of years of war, that in the end, will amount to love not war making more. From the historical documents known as the Gospel of Thomas..

"I" can see market manipulation in all makets by people who have the wherethall to manipulate markets and it does happen everyday. Attempting to manipulation Dow or S&P stocks is a lot harder because of the amount of monies and control that it would take to exert that type of market manipulation. Gold has always been a speculative asset class and the people who crowd into that asset class are suspect...so all of the people that will get caught up in its massive decline at the end of this year will have already had the early warning that they choose not to heed. Any asset class that rises on the spectre of overall declines in liquid markets is a loser, because liquid markets rise more than they fall and raises the risk for the riskier classes like gold. "I" can also see that some here still like to bate and call names (which is no substitute for brains) as opposed to debate. Do not defend anyone here...but rather defend your positions and feelings towards gold. There is no silver (or gold) bullet to save you from investing...it is an on going process and you need to seek value from asset classes that give you transparity, liquidity and growth...for gold 1 out o3...is not for me

Just substitute the word " derivative " for gold...

Being right is. My call was 1400 or higher , yours 1100 or lower. You came up short already, from my perspective.

When did you make your call? And, by the way, the year isn't over. I seem to remember calls of $2500. From my perspective, lots of people came up short already...

Ok. We'll put you down as a gold buyer at the $1400 level damn, and we'll compare to equities in a year. Duly noted. By the way, the metals are off to a poor start......
Dow on 9/5/13 - 14890 Nasdaq on 9/5/13 - about 3630 Gold on 9/5/13 - $1385.00

I find it funny you guys assume everybody buys high and sells low. Lmao My call was before January 2014 gold will be 1400 or higher. Franks was 1100 or lower.
