The GOLD scream room

[pmward]

Once again, all is right with the world, US and China are going to meet...Groundhog Day.

Gold and long Treasuries will be under assault for a while...

"Assault" might be a bit extreme of a term. Both assets are due for a consolidation. This doesn't mean the long term uptrend is in danger for either. As we speak, even though both are having an ugly day, there is still 0 technical damage done to either chart. I don't see any need to provoke fear about both assets right now.

I didnt read the article, but increasing non-monetary use of gold might screw with the PP philosophy?

I keep having purely good luck. Sold my Newmont Goldcorp and SIVR out of my HSA a few days ago, because am moving the HSA, but now prices are down, so I could rebuy at lower levels. Please don't recover before the cash moves over to Fidelity...

*Could* or will? This was always my dilemma.

‘Gold is the way to go’ as interest rates fall, says Mark Mobius

Mark Mobius, the founding partner of Mobius Capital Partners, recommends that investors hold 10% of their portfolios in physical gold, and invest the rest in dividend yielding equities.
In the first half of this year, central banks bought 374 metric tons of gold, according to the World Gold Council. That was the largest net increase for the first half of the year since at least 2000.
China’s central has been adding to its gold reserves for eight straight months since December, scooping up another 10 metric tons of the yellow metal in July, according to data from the People’s Bank of China.

Gold has dipped below $1500 oz and silver has fallen below $18 oz. in overnight trading.

Gold is quite volatile!

Gold is quite volatile!

And in other news, the sun rises in the east!

Well, that didn't last long.

Anyone buying physical metals over the weekend in response to recent events in the Middle East? I came close at least three times but held back.

I would buy at 1300/oz. That has nothing to do with analysis (although you all know I’m a huge fan), but it would be a good spot for lowering my avg cost.

Hoping to be rid of my BP shares on Monday, but it probably won’t happen. KSA seems to have everything under control.
