Gold

China has now banned crypto as a means of payment! Good for PMs I'd say.

Bitcoin now down to $US39k. I wonder if Cryptocrude is still so utterly messianic?

Yes and going to go MUCH lower >>>

This is the article I read that really made me dubious of cryptocurrencies, and it seems they are being outlawed more and more:

Gold US$1899 overnight, looking strong.

I notice that the London Exchange seem to consistently be the party poopers, while they are open the price weakens..

Any opinions or theories on why that is?

The financial pages and the internet are awash with theories/analysis/ conspiracy theories. The long term trend is still up and the US$ index is still going down. That is the bigger picture.

Time to bail out of gold miners or buy some more?

I guess the process might be, "if" central banks raise interest rates in a meaningful way, the economy crashes and gold goes up again once the money printing starts increasing to save the economy. Maybe sell now and buy back in when interest rates head down again?

#Gold has been selling off despite #inflation data that's much worse than expected because investors also naively expect the #Fed to successfully contain inflation before it becomes a problem. Gold will surge once investors finally figure out that inflation can't be contained.-Peter SChiff

No winter ski holiday for me this year paid for from gold speculations, sadly.

The people still banging on about gold are generally like Peter Schiff involved in buying and selling it.

Although lots of commentators still recommend some as an insurance policy against armaggeddon.

Fuel costs heading up, possibly interest costs heading up (unlikely) a couple of big inputs for miners getting more expensive. Who knows prices move up and down.

Peter Schiff is honestly one of the biggest weasels of all time... He barely knows what he's talking about...

I certainly wouldn't invest my funds into his fund ... but I do agree with some of his comments ..he's certainly not as bad as some guys like telling people to sell their homes and leverage into Crypto near the recent top the worse ...
