It’s more relief than joy.
Hope that helps you decide haha

By the count of your posts it seems like you are merely re-activating the same one you've had?

I think there’s some metaphysical phenomenon that if we hit 2000, Craig and Medium Tex will briefly remanifest.

Correct Vinny.
My response was tongue in cheek as I use the username “buddtholomew” for other forums and accounts as well and it has always been available for use (so I am the one and only buddtholomew).

I did request a ban from this board and also Xan was gracious enough to re-enable the account at my request.

Well how about that? New gold all-time highs.I wasn't planning to log back in here until after the election was over and the political debates died down. Alas, I felt like there is no better place to celebrate the new all-time highs than here. Can we actually clear that psychological 2k level???

Pure speculation here... but in the near term I expect gold to continue to move up before pausing for consolidation around the $2k mark. In the intermediate term I I am bullish on gold and expect it to continue to outperform as long as the government is running insane deficits, suppressing interest rates in the bond market, printing money like water and using much of that newly printed money to buy its own bonds. In the near term silver will likely outperform gold due to the still wide, but narrowing, gap in the silver gold price ratio as well as declining production coupled with increased industrial demand. Long term, silver prices will overshoot (it's one of the constants of history) and then correct downward.

Long term, silver prices will overshoot (it's one of the constants of history) and then correct downward.
In trying to look at all angles, and looking at risks to gold, there is one thing I worry about... that being the rolloff in Fed liquidity at a time when the treasury is issuing more debt. The Fed provided liquidity in advance, but now it could almost function as a tightening of liquidity where they are providing less and less liquidity while the treasury is issuing more and more debt. To keep the ship afloat, especially with new stimulus on the way (and more debt along with it) the Fed will need to step up and do their part. If they don't and keep reducing liquidity into that it could cause a liquidity event which definitely could impact metals negatively by proxy of a less negative real yield on treasuries. I think this week is quite pivotal with a Fed meeting and fiscal stimulus continuation deadlines all looming. There's a lot of kindling there that could bring out the metals bulls or bears.

If these things all go smoothly, I do think gold will continue it's recent pattern of consolidating for a few months, then breaking out, then consolidating, then breaking out. I wouldn't be surprised either to see a consolidation or a pullback start anytime between now and 2k. It's probably not a bad time to rebalance if someone is over a rebalancing band. SLV is a bit harder to judge, as it relies also on industry. But copper has been led silver up, so that is a very promising sign on the industrial front. I wouldn't personally make any new SLV purchases at these price levels, but it is a good dip buy candidate to watch.

Has anyone decided to harvest some gains in Gold?
I’m well within bands but seems a reasonable time to ring the register.

I know it’s against the rules to mention such things but interested in others thought processes at this time. :)

With all assets performing so well and cash at optimal level already am I best served to just sit tight.

Difficult for me not to advance and protect by selling a bit to cash.
