Is anyone going to respond to that graph?

how bout this?  i will admit i'm wrong if the Dow gets back up over the 5/1/12 high or gold gets back up over the 2/28/12 high by the end of the year.

you make a similar commitment.  you'll notice, btw, that i've made realistic targets that are reasonably easy to reach for you to call me wrong.

why don't you commit to something like gold won't go below 1523 or that silver won't go below the December low of 26.14 by the end of the year?  or that the Dow won't go below the 6/4/12 low?

just go with the statistics above, man.  how far again are you down on your miners?

heh, i'm just measuring up to your big mouth.

A job in real life is what I was wondering.

But how are the banks going to survive 20% inflation with so much locked into 3% home loans?  Inflation is the pin that'll make the banks go pop.

you really are a dick aren't you?

do you have any idea how profitable that 19/23 day straight dump in stocks was in May?  it was good for a ~35% -ish increase in my portfolio, as in triple lever shorts AND pm shorts.  i also exchanged those out for individual shorts to lock in those gains during the small consolidation period so those are safe.  all your peabrain can see is the difference btwn 5/1/12 and now...Don't worry an even bigger dump is coming.

i'll admit that AAPL bet was an impulsive stupid bet not based on any technicals.  i don't know how i let you change it from my original proposal that Apple wouldn't make it over $700.  despite this, it got down to $522.  oh so close and Apple will get under $500 with more time.

as far as putting up the results; it's b/c you keep taunting me if i've covered and i keep saying no.  you certainly are one to dish out the rocket to the moon pictures and claims about pm's and HI but how's that worked out?  your fucking miners are getting destroyed and bullion has gone nowhere but down for over a year.  the miners you bought the last year must be down almost 50%.  admit it.  great timing on GPL too.  and yes, Bitcoin is trouncing metals.

keep putting up those yearly bar charts on gold.

Checks and money orders are reversible.

I'd think a habitat where an otter would thrive, would be good for platypi as well.

Sorry, couldn't resist.   

If an asset is at a discount no matter the price to this point, it doesn't matter what the entry point is. The danger in fleeing now is that the systemic stresses are so great that there's no real way to determine when a break will occur, but there's no doubt that it will happen violently. Because of that, it might not be possible to get in again at any price, so short-term trading for a few percent gain here and there doesn't matter compared to being along for the ride when a magnitude shift does take place for potentially thousands of percent gains.

There's an easy way to determine someone's mindset in regard to the above. Print this post and attempt to complete the following in 60 seconds:

If you haven't seen this test before and you scrambled to complete each item, you're most like a trader. If you took the whole thing in before making a decision on where to begin, you're more like an investor. If you've seen this before and simply learned to recognize the pattern, you might be the type to miss important things that you aren't looking for. If you understand why the test is given, you're probably good at seeing the big picture.[/list]

buying miners this past year or GPL recently takes alot of balls 12 yrs into a bull mkt.  i don't begrudge you thinking "long term" that this bull can continue.  let's just hope you're not wrong b/c there are alot of us who think we've reached a tipping point in both public and private debt that will reverse the linear, inflationary upwards thinking of the last 40 yrs.  and it may not matter one iota that Ben tries more QE even though there are no signs he will do more just yet.

just don't begrudge us that like to trade corners for months at a time b/c a lot of money can be made doing so even if the bull mkt continues.  you may like to focus on my GLD short at 152 but i've made it publicly clear i've been shorting gold/silver/miners most of the way down from May/August last year, the records of which are plain to see in my history.  there were even times when i covered like from Oct to April.

there could very well come a time when i'll be bullish on pm's again but i think it will be a few years from now.

irrespective of what i think, you don't see a problem with your miners stocks and silver holdings being cut in half since the top?  or gold being down 18%?  how about GPL down 13% in such a short time period?

Cool story.  Been to the gas pump lately?

Good luck finding the bottom of this pit.  When the SHTF, I'll be buying to cover, and you'll be cutting losses and creating worse conditions for everyone else.

Then you definately don't live near me.
