Gold poised to test 400 now...could see a rapid move on short covering.

If you want off this ping list let me know

OK. How many billions is the gold market worth and how much tangible gold is above ground? Can't be more than 200 billion. You tell me!

So you're up watching this too.

The largest population on earth, the Chinese, were very recently allowed to privately own gold.

The last gold surge was tied directly to the Chinese also. As the turnover of Hong Kong to China approached, the best way to cash-out was to purchase GOLD. In connection with the exodus out of Hong Kong to other parts of the world, it was probably the largest movement of financial assets in the last two decades.

War is not good, and it does not create prosperity nor cause stability.

If Bush has his war with Iraq, oil supplies will be disrupted with higher oil prices, we will have a deep recession within a recession, we will have a major increase in unemployment with layoffs, bankruptcies and factory closings, some arabs may vengefully retaliate again with another bombing on the United States like the World Trade Center, the stock market will take a HUGE HUGE dive, and gold will continue to increase in value.

What do you think of platinum, silver, and mining stocks, (current read)?

I've been buying gold for about three years now. Some of the status quo Freepers have called me a fool. Ultimately, I will have the last laugh!

Should have bought in at $270 PING!
