Buying Buying Buying

Happy Passover everybody!  Pretty much everybody was gone yesterday because of Passover, and the coming back in today, Gold has SKY ROCKETED to where it was last week.  Surprised?  No, not really.  I feel as though it will slowly increase back to 1200 dollars an ounce.  So we will see.  Gold buying has been CRAZY these past couple of days.  A lot of people have been coming in too with coins to sell.  But it’s been a busy week none the less.  The rain didn’t help that much either.

I have been following the mass buying of gold from China and India, and I found this article to be quite interesting.  How do we solve our debt problem?  Sell our gold to China!

And the hits just keep on coming

Lately, I have been super busy with all the projects that I have been doing.  But my predictions are still coming true.  Every metal is increasing.  The ‘hopes’ that the US dollar is gaining ground is just a bunch of short term gains.  We are a spending country, we spend spend spend but we buy foreign goods.  So now what should we do?  Gold buying is still one of the best ways to save your future.  People need to learn how to invest their money and how to increase their savings.  It’s not going to get any easier.  I mean, seriously…..how about all those stabbings and muggings as of late?  People are suffering.  It’s not  that we shouldn’t spend, but gold buying, silver buying, platinum buying are still good investments.  If you have old coins to sell and such, maybe it is time for you to start a savings account.  I have been reading the news here to catch up on everything, so we will see what happens

Low and behold!

As predicted, every precious metal price is rising according to here except for platinum.  There are major (and I do mean major) corrections to be made of the US economy.  We are pretty much broke for medicare, social security, but hey Health Care For All!  Housing market sucks because people don’t know how to add, but hey, I want to live in a nice house and literally work for nothing.

This is why you should stay in school kids

Downturn

Wow, quite a down turn Gold and the other precious metals have been having lately.  Gold is trading below 1100 due to the strength in the dollar.  Exactly why is the dollar increasing in strength?  Housing? No.  Economy. Definately not.  Hype?  You bet your ass.  Health Care Reform Baby!  Increasing our dollar for short term gains only to start crashing down later

Enjoy!

Comments and Dollars and Cents

So, I posted some comments from ‘people’ who read the blog (which is not that many I know).  Some of these ‘people’ SWEAR that this one particular site is the best, and quite frankly, I know who these people are, and I know what they actually do on the street.

Lately, gold, silver, platinum have taken a down turn as the US dollar has strongly increased.  With the recent health care bill being passed, many people are now putting their bets on the US dollar to make a comeback.  Spend Spend Spend!  I’m more fiscally conservative, but who knows, I could be wrong (but it seems to have worked for me so far).  I have no doubt in my mind that pretty much all the precious metals will continue to rise due to the US economy’s unsustainable practices, but we have market fluctuations every once in a while.  I can almost guarantee that within the next couple of days (maybe by the end of the week), the precious metals will jump 20 dollars (i exaggerating…..a little).  Why do I make such loft claims?  A couple of things, 1) we are in MAJOR debt.  Most of our debt is own by Asia and the middle east.  Even though we are fiscally connected at the hip, it doesn’t mean they don’t have their own agendas.  2) Job creation is still VERY low, and the unemployment is MUCH higher than what we see in the news.  Job creation has been slow for the past half year, and even though the numbers say unemployment is under 10%, in truth it’s actually much higher.  Unemployment statistics are restricted by a certain time frame in which you are unemployed and if you are actively looking.  3) Up and coming nations are restricting the US dollar usage.  Most of the time, counties use the US dollar as the go to Bill paying, now a days, people have started using actual Gold.  China, India, and the all the big up and coming players have started to buy/use Gold as their go to bill payers.   This causes are hold on the world economies to weaken, and thus, weaken our dollar.

This isn’t a short term game any more, this is a long term game.  Who can survive the longest.

Comments?  Please?

Robbery and Beer?

So, I should probably talk about the robbery over the past weekend in which a hawker brought in a ‘customer’ which turned out to be an armed thief.  Well, thats not surprising.  Never trust a hawker, and a hawker should never trust anyone.  Also something that was quite nice and quite annoying was yesterday’s st. p day parade.  I thoroughly enjoyed the break dance battle and the high school bands, but I HATED THE DAMN LINES to get across the street.  Seriously people, I understand you want to drink, but please do not vomit everywhere!

Also, to all the companies that have been commenting on this site, I appreciate it, but please do not make it like an advertisement.  If you want to, please submit a bio so I can put in on the website, but thats about it

Is the price of every precious metal going down?

Lately, Gold Silver Platinum have been going up and down like a roller coaster.  I still believe that the prices are going to go up, but gold is close to 1100, a low for a while.  I wonder what you guys, the internet, think about the price and why its on a roller coaster ride of going up and down.

Rain Rain…go away

Feeling kinda lazy today, not much is happening in the gold world.  I feel bad for the lady who got crushed in the subway, there are posters EVERYWHERE that says do not do that, so I’m guessing we need to heed that advice.  Still, a needless death

What is going on in the Diamond District lately?

Let’s see, within the past month, theres been a window falling from the sky, a passed out guy on the street, a fight between a garbage truck and a pedestrian, and now this?  WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!  ACT CIVILIZED!!!!

A good weekend, a bad start to the week

Pretty much all precious metals have started off the week going down and quite frankly I’m not surprised. After last weeks rally, I was pretty sure there would be a good market correction. Are we ever going to get to the 1200 mark again? Probably within the next couple of months (I would say June-ish). If you want to get the live prices for Metals, I highly recommend this link
