Gold

Well it depends who's going to be your best enemy, the Turks normally loot and plunder like Cyprus in 1974. Having lived in a British colony I'm amazed the locals didn't invite the British back after independence because it's now a failed state.

Ex-colonies that are now failed states, there's plenty of them, now that's where gold can really come in handy.

But if the invaders had never turned up and taught them the violence and supression that would'nt be the case. Certainly the common denominator is if they had been colonized.
And religious minorities under Ottoman islam were afforded a much longer period of peaceful existance than any minority under christianity...until the minorities rose up and tried to be dominant. And when the silk route became irrelevant starving the empire of capital of course.

Crickey Skoly i am starting to wonder you are a mentally ill closet goldbug with underlying conspirators theories.

Yep agree & glad I liquidated 75% of my portfolio selling into strength. Think $1350 will be tested & possibly broken, looking for real support to kick in around $1320ish

PoG starting to look shaky as Syria is off, bond rates rise, inflation is nowhere near where gokdbugs want it to be and physical buying is solidly down. combined with tapering coming up very soon, its time to take profits (or losses!) off the table until the next downleg is over!

Stockmarkets worldwide are on a tear, the ASX at a 5 year high, meanwhile the bullion bunnies whine about manipulation, bond prices, the coming great implosion and hyperinflation while everyone else makes a killing.

A complete collapse in demand for 1oz gold eagles at the US Mint, 187,500 in April, 9,000 in August and nearly half way through Sept. and only 2,500 sold.

So much for the worn-out goldbug phrase "physical gold is in short supply". lol

Gold now $90 below its recent high and falling rapidly..

Goldbugs love charts, but there's been a dearth of them on goldbug websites over the last few months probably because there's no end in sight to the decline that started 2 years ago.

Silver getting a real thrashing.

only site to visit for charts is Kitco (although they do get rid of them over 2-3 days during major falls!)

and ouch, yes they are getting hammered, those stops are falling hard and fast! $1350 absolutely sliced through, and the NY Comex hasn't even opened yet. hope everyone listened to the writing on the wall and got out!!!

Listening to the writing on the wall is not easy moosie

[elZorro]

Or gold could be finding the bottom of its trading channel?
