Fun times! If the paper price in gold is pushed below $1550 on a closing basis, we'll have a separation from physical.
What are you basing this on? Isn't a separation from physical a continuous thing? Like premiums gradually increasing? The link between paper & physical has been tenuous for a while, but with non-stop demand the connection is only hanging on by a thread. Approach to separation is a gradually increasing process; it's the final, complete dissociation that's abrupt. Think of holding a magnifying glass over a leaf on a sunny day - the leaf slowly heats up until ignition finally occurs. I assume you've pretty heavily shorted GLD while buying like amounts of physical? |

Seriously, I am going to get real about converting about $10k of BTC into cash, gold (1oz rounds) , or junk silver if/when we get into the $50-$60 range. I too prefer to trade out my assets that are increasing in value and will continue to do so for assets that are rapidly decreasing in value. Wait, no I don't. That'd be stupid. It was jaw-droppingly stupid to be buying BTC with both hands between 6-2011 and 11-2011 as well. Everyone said so. Except ~cyperdoc. I'll just continue in my stupid ways I guess. Actually there is a pretty fair chance that this trade would be a bad one for me (and thus a good one for a counter party.) My goal is not necessarily to maximize my profit here. More-so it will be to psychologically prepare myself even better to 'ride this pig' wherever it takes me having little or no net investment. |

Almost - no shorting. Even if solid paper profits are realized with a spread trade like that, there's a strong possibility that those funds may become confiscated, debased, or frozen. All fiat-denominated assets are considered losses until converted into Au/Ag/BTC or productive items (real estate in growing regions, construction machinery, etc). |

Have him get into Bitcoins. He will thank you in a few years. Otherwise, SBND is a safe bet. I would wait to see what happens with AAPL. It's not cheap enough for a buy, not overbought for a sell. I really would look elsewhere. |

Will there be a special event if/when you reach +1000% ?

Question isn't really relevant to the thread but I wouldn't buy. Maybe if they focused more on getting back to innovation rather than suing everyone under the sun, but that doesn't seem to be the trend. |

I guess you are addressing me. The answer is 'sort of by definition' I guess. Firstly, I do not keep records enough to know to my standards of precision when I will be at %1000 and it is unlikely that I'll put in the effort in to reach that standard even if it is possible. I've frittered away some percentage of my BTC over the period I've had them. Secondly, I would not consider being 'at +1000%' until I trade BTC in that quantity in exchange for something else I want. By definition, that will be the 'special event'. I anticipate sitting on a bulk of my BTC for a long time without converting it so we'll probably need to see 4-fig-USD/BTC before I hit my +1000% target and it remains the case that I consider this unlikely. Though very far from impossible, and I consider it more likely now then at any time in the past. |
