that doubted me (DDecker and co. ...), where is my little feathered friend Chicken (AKA Kentucky) or pro these days???Weeeeell... I've taken a lot of abuse on this forum ... Many think I'm an English eccentric drunken asshole...
But I know of what I speak... gold...AU... y2k...
Y2K will hit like a sledgehammer - just be ready, comprende?
If you are ready you will be ok.
It's all in the mind. I'm going out on a limb now financially against the herd and it is paying off, substantially :)
Trust in yourself.
But don't do NOTHING. Be pro-active. Be in position. Be READY.
YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE IN 80 odd DAYS IF YOU SCREW UP!!!!!!!
Bought $105000 of Harmony HGMCY gold mine a couple of days ago - made about $7000 overnight. My DROOY Durban Roodepoorte Deep made just under 7% today. All the physical gold that I bought at an average of maybe $280+ is now in the mid $350's. We are looking at a multi-thousand dollar increase here. Believe it.
All this fiat profit will be converted into REAL GOLD AT WHATEVER PRICE THE MARKET CHARGES before rollover. My guess? Don't know - maybe $650, maybe $850, maybe $1400... you see, the real value of gold has never been ***ALLOWED*** to be established - now, we are in a unique situation amd market forces will prevail... and market forces will eventually realise that the dollar is esentially green toilet paper... work it iut for yourselves :)
Catch you later chaps and chapesses. I'm out for a beer (or two, or three) and hit a strip club.

Trick James - you fu----- little bas----, Jesus told a parable of servents who were given 10, 5 and 1 coins to invest. The man who gave them the money went away for one year and when he came back, the first two had both doubled their money. The third one was a jerk like you who went and buried the money instead of investing it. The man who gave them the money was so impressed with the one that turned 10 coins into 20 that he made him master over all his lands, etc. Moral of the story: God thinks you should be a good investor, and not a moralistic little pri--ho-- like you.

You assholes couldn't call a market if it hit you on the head with a bullion bar. Andy called it to the tee, you sound pathetically envious. It takes real balls to call a market against the tide and have everyone call you a fruitcake. I'm quite certain there were more than a few sharks taking bites at Andy during this interim. Now, when the guy's celebrating his astute call and trading, you come out with your little snide "just you wait and see...." He already waited and we already saw. He made money and you didn't.

Brandenbirdbrain:You are a moron. If he sells, he's already locked in a profit. Let me give you a clue, newbie. Gold has gone up from $250-$260 to over $320 today. $320/ounce is more than $250/ounce. $320 is bigger than $250. Understand? Do you know how numbers work?
You may want to take some beginner math and business classes at the local adult education facility. Just remember, $320+/ounce now is higher than $250 - $260/ounce. Whether Andy sells or not is another matter. But he currently has a profit, if he bought gold at the recent depressed prices this past summer. If I had a profit, I'd sell and take some profits, like Andy is probably doing. And to test your theory about future gold sales and gold prices, then please explain why the price of gold went up on the same day as the latest Bank of England sale?

Dear Brandenburg,I stongly suggest you look at the quantity of gold that the Swiss are planing to sell. Got that written down? Good, now go to the US Mint's website and make a graph of coin sales for the last 24 months. No, that's actually what it is, you were using regular graph paper, not inverted log paper, really. Now chart the price of gold several months before and after the recent Bank Of England gold sales that were highly bally-hooed. Correct, "What dip?".
P.S. Go back and look up the total gold production for the last 5 years. Then look up the amount of gold traded every year. Fascinating ratio isn't it? No, not the traded/produced (though that is an eye opener). Look at the ratio of the BOE gold sales versus annual production. Pretty puny isn't it?
P.P.S. Next time look before you leap.

Andy ol' bud,Drink one for me. I'll drink one for you. But why do you keep calling me Kentucky? I've lived in North Carolina all my life. And will continue to do so, till the cows come home.
And I don't think you're English.
But still I doubt you now. I shall doubt you tomorrow. Next year. Next whatever. I doubted you last week, last month, last year. But on to the present subject.
Gold? Yeah it's risen. Golly gosh. But it just a few days ago rose to a level where it would offset losses that have been realized by those who bought into gold oh, say, at the beginning of 1998, when the nearest Comex futures contract was at about 300. That's a fact. Not many people are long-term enough to have realized any gains from that, as you know, if you know the precious metals markets. Unless you're talking day trading, and I'm not even going to get into that.
The net effect of all this urging of people to buy into gold has been a net loss, by and large.
If you were fortunate enough to buy into gold fairly recently, and make a windfall, hats off to ya. But those who were cajoled into buying gold stocks, or gold futures, or whatever, a while back, probably have not realized such profits. Depends on their time of entry and exit. You know that; or if you don't you should.
You think you've had "a stressful few days"? Come live here for a while, we'll show you what stress means. If you think Y2k will be anywhere close to what we've gone through here recently, there's a nice clean white padded room waiting for you at Camp Butner. Be glad you're where you are, and quit whining about "stress". Ya wuss.
I mean, ya "bastard".

-- Chicken Little (panic@forthebirds.net), October 05, 1999.
Now Chicken, considering what you've recently gone through "locally," for which you have our sympathy, do you see merit in the idea of being prepared? Having some clean water and canned food on hand? Some bug repellant lotion and a petromax ready to be fired up? A change of clothes and extra TP in a backpack? Hhhmmm? Sounds like somehow you're still alive & kickin, hope that will be the case in 5 months ...

He should take out his origional investment when it has doubled and leave the rest in, that way he will not have lost anything if it goes back down, and will be gaining on his profit if it continues to go high. He will be "playing" with free money.

The long bond soared up .08% today to 6.17%. By not raising rates, Greedspin has told the world that we will not defend the dollar. Expect a crash of the dollar, a jump in interest rates, and stocks to fall off the cliff between now and the next report of the trade deficit. You better have gold.
-- Mr. Adequate (mr@adequate.com), October 05, 1999.
A&L,As I've said here about a hundred thousand dozen times, it's good to be prepared. Living where I do, it's entirely prudent. Some of my preps came in very handy, and made my life a bit easier than the lives of a lot of people around here lately. My girlfriend & I do a lot of deep-woods camping, and so have a lot of equipment; this came in very handy during this disaster (which is still going on, BTW.)
BUT I still STRONGLY disagree with the Doomer view of preparing for six months, or a year, or more. And I'm saying that from right dead in the middle of what they're calling the 3rd-worst disaster to hit the North American continent since Columbus discovered America.
As I said the other day: people have lives to live, and scarce resources with which to live them. To encourage people to take all their resources and use them to prepare for a so-called disaster such as Y2k is downright irresponsible. Yes, I believe that, with all my heart and soul.
Some degree of preparation is indicated. The DEGREE of preparation you folks urge is NOT.
And I'm living right in the middle of a huge disaster, and so have a bit of experience upon which to draw; something the rest of you cannot say. Fact as opposed to theory.

Yes, Chicken, we're all still people (grin, if we coulda seen some of deez sentences 2 years ago weeda screamed "Can't Be!") and we for 2 would wager that after Y2K, come what may, we'll miss each other, all the rascals on this Board. Your experiences camping definitely set you wwaaaayyy ahead in practical living. Best of luck, earned rewards and health during your ordeal. Very sorry your area is suffering so much.

To Andy & all the goldgugs- nice call so far. Just don't forget the lyrics from Kenny Rogers' The Gambler: "Never count your money sittin' at the table; there'll be time enough for countin' when the game is done."Also, Jesse Livermore's advice: "A profit should never be counted until deposited to your bank."

It's the other way around. If gold can not be given a curency valuation after y2k then how will gold's worth be established?
