Of course not, although down 0.30% in one day is pretty dramatic for gold.

Gold resumes its climb but why does the Gold chart appear broken? The Silver chart for the day is the same btw.

Sold Out in India, Panic in London
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '')Most people who are dealing silver and silver coins, they’re literally out of stock because silver is not there,” said Raina, who is head of trading at MMTC-Pamp India Pvt. “This kind of crazy market — where people are buying at these levels — I have not seen in my 27-year career.”
...And just as Indian demand was soaring, China — a key source of supply — closed for a week-long holiday. So bullion dealers turned to London. They soon discovered that the city’s precious metals vaults were largely sold out. While London vaults underpinning the global market hold more than $36 billion in silver, the majority of it was owned by investors in exchange-traded funds.

Panic in London

Traders described a growing panic as liquidity dried up. The cost of borrowing silver overnight soared to annualized rates of as high as 200%, according to consultancy Metals Focus. As the big banks that dominate the London market started to step back from the silver market, bid-ask spreads became so wide as to make trading near impossible. ...In another sign of the disarray in the market, one trader said the big banks were offering such wildly different quotes that he was able to buy from one bank at its ask price and simultaneously sell to another at its bid for an immediate profit – a rare sign of dysfunction in such a large and competitive market.

At last, a pull back. I was getting genuinely worried there for a week, nothing is supposed to go up up up, that's the Crypto mindset, the "To Da Moon" mindset. Gold and Silver needed a decent retracement and this looks like it. A week or so of pullback to put a damper on the manic buying sprees.

But of course you will. Need to make up for getting into gold so late in the game. Now that we know that investing in PMs is just fun for you because you don't plan on needing it or doing anything with it, why don't you invest in others for the fun of it as well?

I'd have to buy another safe, and I really don't have a hidden space for it, not one big enough to house Silver. I'm content with what I have, and with the gains I have made over the past 20 odd years, and I have more cash piling up in my accounts from other streams than I know what to do with. I know the trend is to buy a bigger house, or rebuild the one I now live in, but I've no interest in that crap. That sort of activity is what's gotten the Western people in the mess they are in now and I refuse to follow in their footsteps even if I don't incur debt as a result.

Watch this retracement though, if it goes very deep then look out for the collapse of the paper markets. That's what happened just prior to the Global Financial Crash, Gold and silver plunged for a month or so. I believe it was insiders selling anything liquid (in this case paper Gold and silver to cover themselves.) But in the end it all rolled over anyway. Nothing will stop the CB buying, nothing will stop Xi and Putin kicking off the Gold backed BRICS+ alternate reserve currency. The idiots here are in for a big shock when the $US caves for the final time.

The biggest mistake the peoples of the Western world have made is that they assumed the prosperity we have enjoyed over the past several decades was normal and would continue. But it's not normal! It's a total anomaly brought about by the the vast oceans of cheap fossil energy we have been burning through. That's just part of the multi-faceted message of PeakOil that those here (of all places) have chosen to ignore once the printing presses started rolling after the conventional peak in 2006~7. They have dug a massive hole of debt for themselves and don't realize the peril they are in. The lessons of the Great depression are forgotten, how that their assets can collapse in value but the debt still remain to enslave them. The elites don't never clever schemes, the same old ones work everytime. Fill the people's heads with bullshit and offer them cheap debt and they enslave themselves.

We've had 25 years of Heads Up to prepare for this, no excuse if your still out there taking on debt for cars and bigger houses.

The collapse of Lehman Brothers on September 15, 2008, was the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history. Blah blah, the kickoff for the GFC.

And here's the big retracement beginning in March and gaining pace in June/July 2008. The bottom was a month or two after the collapse of the global paper markets

Image

But as the dust was settling Gold was off again.

Most all the analysis of this period is BS. Like all such they focus on the Big Event and ignore the little signs leading up to it. Look at this BS, from a site that should know better too.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]Critical Insight. Prices fell to their lowest value for the year, $692.50/oz, in the wake of the Lehman Brothers collapse on September 15, 2008.

In the wake of? What about before? Gold was telegraphing the trouble months in advance. Back then we goldbugs were spooked, we knew a collapse in paper was coming, knew it years in advance! That was when All the reserve bank governors across the western world were suddenly taking retirement. They had been entrenched, for decades in some cases. They had presided over the loose monetary engineering that was bringing the crash but didn't want to be around to face the serous questions afterwards. No, get a new crew in so they can throw their hands up in the air and say "it wasn't my fault, I just got here."

Both metals still falling, but still up around 12% for the month. Not much of a correction yet. The last two months have been a real NASA launch, very uncharacteristic.

40 million people on food stamps. We are in the crash, it’s just being papered over. Home, auto and credit card delinquencies are skyrocketing.

How many trillions will be needed to stop this crash?

Can you perhaps define "crash" for those of us who aren't on food stamps? Or is that as difficult as "collapse" to the "living high off the sugar momma and luving it!" crowd?

Surely you have a CHILD who learned the meaning of words while in the church required public schools to learn to read so as to access the Bible and can ask one of them?

Unlucky was crying for my "How many ounces of gold can you buy with one BTC arithmetic." He is a little slow at arithmetic and reading graphs. So here you go.

1BTC= 28.94 Troy ounces of gold. That is .549 MORE Troy ounces of gold than my very first calculation of 1 BTC = 28.40 Troy ounces of gold. Winning is becoming so boring, just takes patience and a little arithmetic.

You mean beyond knowing peak oil was a crock when every sucker in the peak oil world like you didn't?
So after solving the entire point of this website in the real world, I decided to be a bullshit detector.

You and folks like unlucky just keep plenty of examples in front of me to gleefully yuck/yuck it over. Geniuses buying gold when it is high, geniuses who buy gold and don't even plan on USING it for anything, folks who can't define the very words they use, think Ruppert was anything other than a fraud, and are no more capable of thinking for themselves than a parrot.

I can't find anyone remotely like you and Lucky, or the old school peak oilers, anywhere near my professional work. All of them can define their words, think critically, have degrees and think like scientists. No fun at all, they know stuff and aren't PM nutters. Or parrots.

Don't be embarassed about what you are Armie. Just keep up the good work! Do you know how HARD it is to find people both uninformed and who BELIEVE they aren't and no amount of facts can convince them to even THINK for a second? A rare bird, you and Lucky.

Nobody cares about that bullshit now inke, you're just trying to obscure the fact that your 3/4 of a BC is still below the peak of years ago, in inflation terms. The paper markets, of which BC is a part, are trying to bump higher but if Gold is telegraphing what it did in 2008 the collapse is upon us and all that rubbish is destined for the trash.

You shouldn't have bet on the future inke, you shouldn't have borrowed that 80k for your ipad on wheels. The interest rate won't matter when your income and assets take a turn South.

They mostly fit the definition of trolls these posters, after all this is PeakOil-com and they don't even believe in it.

I'm wondering if this Government Shutdown is going to used as an excuse, as a cover story for the biggest renege since the collapse of the USSR's social welfare net. Certainly the USofA can't afford to keep paying 40 million people to eat for free, forever. It can't afford all the medicaid promises it made back in the day, and all the Military shit, and untold other crap. With the unprecedented animosity between Trump and the Democratic party no one would be surprised if the ebt accounts didn't get filled next month. You're one step away from martial law over there already, add up all the signs and it's a distinct possibility.

I wouldn't want to be living in the suburbs of an American city when this one blows. It will be like the LA riots, but everywhere all at once. And who is blame? Whitee, kill Whitee.

The FBI and most of the other law enforcement agencies won't get in the way either. Those people are as sick in the head as the average leftist. Grovelling at the feet of the Black man.

And since when did the FBI switch from tactical boots to pink joggers? The department is run like a frat house [smilie=dead.gif]

Look at this tub of lard! Oh! Fat shaming, no fat shaming :roll:

Or alternatively they solved it. And then it wasn't as much fun as before. Not that a parrot that can't pick their favorite oils off a list knows anything on this topic.

Can't you at least get a local that has a functioning BRAIN and let them post on your behalf?

Newsmax host @RobFinnertyUSA just said what no one in mainstream media will admit about SNAP.

He tore the mask off the entire food stamps program...and what he revealed will infuriate taxpayers.

It’s far worse than anyone realized.

“There are 42 million people in this country that need food stamps on a weekly basis.”

“And we’re saying ‘people’ deliberately instead of Americans because most of the people that are on food stamps aren’t even from this country.”

“45% of Afghanistan immigrants are on food stamps.”

“42% of Somali immigrants, 34% of every immigrant from Iraq, 23% of Haitians.”

“59% of ALL illegal aliens are collecting food stamps, meaning that most of the people getting food stamps from the U.S. Government and the U.S. Taxpayer are not even Americans.”

“Think about that.”

“And we didn’t know about any of this before the government shutdown started.”

“But thanks to Democrats, we can confirm tonight that millions of Joe Biden, illegal aliens, people who crossed the border when Joe was president, are now collecting food stamps from a program funded by hardworking American taxpayers.”
