Re: The GOLD scream room
I always confused Churrascos with Churros until a little Mexican woman in Poughkeepsie set me straight a couple of weeks ago.
Can a brother get some help with the tones on you-tiao? Is "you" second tone as in "oil"?
And are we still in the Gold Scream Room or is the now the Food We Miss From Our Travels Room?

We might need ounces of good to buy doughnuts at the rate we're going

That's right, Barrett. In fact, it *is* oil, that character.

Ah, got it, dualstow. "Long Oily Thingies!" I've seen those around in Southeast Asia but have never tried them.
Apologies to anyone clicking on this post actually thinking it has anything to do with screaming about gold. dualstow and I have turned this section into a level two Chinese class.
Carry on!

Pathetic.
CPI up 6% and gold tanks.
We’re all morons.

Re: The GOLD scream room
Bwahahaha. I have to laugh. I expected this thread to activate again. Who cares. This is perfect. No one cares about gold at all. Ripe for a multi-year rise, right?

We’ve been on the same hopium for a while now.
Even if equities tanked 100% I would still be way ahead of my gold position. Big mistake!

So if your stocks went down to 0 that would still be better than gold?buddtholomew wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 8:57 am We’ve been on the same hopium for a while now.

Yet my 70/30 is up 340K YTD.
How’s your gold YTD?
Re: The GOLD scream room
I think gold has potentially a way to fall yet.
Harry Dent is thinking $700/oz down to $400/oz? Seems extreme, but who knows?

Re: The GOLD scream room
That makes more sense to me as it’s pretty much useless.
I can see divesting away from precious metals and being successful, but this 25% allocation to Gold is awful. Almost anything but gold would be better.
Re: The GOLD scream room
Ok, if I did the math right, that means you, Buddtholomew, have about $12M in your portfolio, and yet you spend your time coming on here to whine about gold's poor performance over the last few years. I'd like to think that if I had that much in my portfolio, I would not be worried about money at all and would find plenty of other things to keep me busy. But, lest you forget so easily, gold saved the decade of 2000 to 2010 for those who held enough to make a difference (sadly not me).buddtholomew wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 9:38 amYup, and since your buy you’ve stunk it up...too bad.Libertarian666 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 9:01 amSo if your stocks went down to 0 that would still be better than gold?buddtholomew wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 8:57 am We’ve been on the same hopium for a while now.

And the drop is likely a delayed reaction to what the dollar did yesterday. It was surprising it didn't do it in lockstep as usual.

I spend my time as I see fit, 3-4 hours at the gym and 4-5 on development.

Don’t be corto, I am a slave to my brain or lack thereof...
I focus less on the things that money can resolve and more on the things that any amount of money can’t resolve.
Always something for me to worry about.

That explains a lot.

Re: The GOLD scream room
$14M in the bank, and you still come on here to make the rest of us miserable? Come on, man, have a little decency. If you're going to come on here, bring some kind of uplifting quote about the rewards of working hard or living in a great country or something.
