I'll sleep better now. The solution has been found

Let see how long the markets will hold the illusion, I say is an omen specially when I decided to watch the markets close and one of the older analyst was very worry about the fact that the markets were down so much for just been an isolated case or a correction.

You have a problem with the failsafes because they interfere with the free market even though they could be responsible for you keeping your job when one of these corrections gets out of hand and spirals into a crash? Interesting...

Nope. No problem with fail-safes. Just keeping an open mind that there are winners and losers, with or without a failsafe. I earn my living by adapting to whatever is presented. Opportunity is always present.

Fantastic. That's a good way to live. I try to be the same way. Can't control every variable that comes your way, but you certainly can let yourself be fluid enough to let them roll of off you or even benefit from them.

I do drink less already

the schizophrenic markets are nurturing many predators & vulture capitalists.... the supposed (or managed/contrived ) PM scarcity is given as the driving force of ever lower bullion SPOT price, translating into pricier coins-bars every day


just a first hand account of what I bought during the hectic up-down week and Tuesday the 25 prices for bullion

my bullion seller prices before & after the friday-monday correction:
(EXAMPLES were purchased 14 & 18 Aug...todays price premium is on 25 Aug)

EAGLE sale $18.95 - SPOT @ $14.88

MAPLE for $18.35 - SPOT @ $14.88
MAPLE for $18.80 - SPOT @ $15.21
_______________________________________
EAGLE sale $19.10 - SPOT @ $14.71

MAPLE for $18.60 - SPOT @ $14.71

Premiums for physical metal are going to pop by multiples.. rather than the rate of the example above ( a .32¢ switcheroo, not in your favor, where you pay 15¢ more for a .17¢ cheaper product) will we soon see 100% Premiums for silver coins/bars like before?


eagle up to $4.39
maple up to $3.89 per coin or up .32 cents & .42 cents on less expensive yet rarer metals ??? how's that work ?

Well today was hailed as a great comback day.

But the market flopped again

Down around 200.

Today could have been just a fluke.

Watch out this week and next week.

Remember, it's not what the market opens at that matters, but where it clos... Uhm. Uh-oh. Hmmm...
It's not where the market opens that matters, but when it closes with a gain that will matter!
Yeah, that works.

I would like to believe God will chose an instrument less... manipulated than the DOW Jones Industrial Average to cue mankind to His pending return, but that's just me.

Maybe He spilled some Sacrement on His 'SMITE' key, but I just have a hard time believing that anything tied to economics is going to serve as the indicator of the Day of Judgement.

a reply to: burdman30ott6

Judgement by whom is the question this four fifths of wheres your father stuff means nothing to me but it does to very powerful elites.

I believe Ron Paul predicted this would happen.

Everybody knows these things are going to happen. Market corrections are a natural part of the market cycle. If they hit at the wrong time they can be troublesome but, when they hit at times like now when economy is in good shape they mean little.

The Dow jones industrial average high this year was 18,351 and the low was 15,370 before the bounce.
Works out to about a 16% percent drop.
Compared with the flash crash of 22.61% in 1987 this is a mild correction so far.

The Nikkei 225 is only down about 14.9% but there is no double bottom supprt.

There are some leading indicators out there to read, but they are probably over our heads.

Not sure I've ever seen an economy with a 0.25% federal bankrate as being considered in "good shape." This economy is propped up at best, collapsing at worst.
