I want to know if there's life on Mars without being able to go there myself. I can read fiction and non-fiction stories others have published about the planet, or make inferences from my own observations. Of course, the only way to know for certain is to obtain direct evidence.

We can believe one thing and be proven entirely wrong when the evidence comes to light. The golden fiction has been analysed and found to be lacking. A lie can only be maintained so long as the evidence remains out of reach. Enough evidence is available to strongly suggest the official line is a lie.

The problem: not enough people are aware there is evidence, let alone that gold is much more valuable in fiat terms. The people who do have all of the evidence intend to manage the chaos that would ensue from a rapid disruption in the financial dynamic, and public dissemination of that knowledge could break the already tenuous control that exists now.

You can tell pretty easily when something goes viral. That's when the secret has nowhere left to hide and the lie burns away. For now, people are exchanging physical gold at paper gold prices; there is no publicly available clearing house for physical gold yet. So we wait.





That we agree on 100%. I choose Bitcoin!


I like that idea - it'd help with re-assessing ideas and estimations.

Down goes silver.  Again.

Down go stocks.

this call was made on 9/12/11 on pm miners:  https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/35956.msg522374#msg522374

how have they contributed to your portfolio?

give it time.  we're consolidating before the next collapse.
the gold collapse call started back in 8/9/11.  this thread was just a continuation of that call.

your miners are getting killed.  here's GDXJ, the juniors, which started 11/09.  almost back to all time lows:

most bulls buy juniors as well and they've taking a massive beating.  so you didn't buy any?

edit:  even the majors are down almost 33% in the last year. 

thanks.  thats exactly what i wanted to hear.

you know what?  you're exactly right...it's called Cycles.

I was going to address your winter boots comment to suggest now is the best time to buy them since demand is minimal, but you seem to want to avoid that discussion since you removed that part of your post .

Stocks are down; gold and silver are steady. One day does not make a trend, and the typical CoT reporting games may still occur.

Anyway, the dynamic is unfolding exactly as FOFOA, Mike Maloney, et al. have described. Bitcoin is a great protector, but it's still foolish to discount physical precious metals.
