    What we have just witnessed is yet another example of the competence of governments.
    The total failure of the CFTC Commission to regulate against naked shorting ALLOWED the collapse in precious metals.
    Clearly the commission should be forced to do their job or scrapped.
    We could, at least, then stop wasting money on the salaries of total incompetents.

        Big Al, Cart and horse.
        The funds had to divest after the price dropped, due to redemptions.

      How can they trade something that DOES NOT EVEN EXIST ??? It is beyond my comprehension! We should be thankful they can’t print gold ! THIEVES shorting “imaginary gold” on paper.

      Yes, thanks cfs.

      I have to wonder, by the way, just what is hiding in Oblivion?

    Not sure i would agree with an upward trend just yet. Margan requirements were raised at the cme, last time they were raised it caused a selloff. So this could be a bounce, I think its wait and see for now.

    I think Peter Grandich’s premonition is right about us being at or near October 1987’s crash.

    In the middle of the night my cat wanted out and he was so annoying that I started calling him Lumpy Rutherford, a name I haven’t used in many decades, so I too had a premonition because when I checked the news in the late morning, low and behold Frank Bank has just died and he played Lumpy Rutherford on “Leave It To Beaver.” He will be sorely missed, but in conclusion I should have called my cat Eddie Haskell because he was truly the annoying actor on the Beaver.

    Interesting about premonition!

    Al—-
    It’s not going to be a rebound.
    It’s going to reset.
    More and more reason to think we are at the doorstep of a FORCE MAJEURE with both Gold and Silver.

    Say what you want about Grandich but you can count on just one hand the number of Talking Heads, Analysts, Newsletter Writers and the like that actually admit when they’re wrong and are humble when they’re right. I thank Al for making him one of the regulars.

      Apr 16, 2013 16:21 AM

      Frank…DITTO…..IT’s imperative that people read between the lines.

      Apr 16, 2013 16:22 PM

      HI Frank,

      Yep, Peter is a good guy!

      Best,

      Silver market is smaller….it’ll go first.

    Apr 16, 2013 16:04 PM

    Gold and silver fading, looks like more downside coming

      Apr 16, 2013 16:23 PM

      I am not really sure of that The Greater!

    Still selling into every rally.

    Apr 16, 2013 16:34 PM

    A lot of people here buying into the scare tactics and conspiracy theory hawksters without any real proof. These guys have absolutely no skin in the game and people are following them as if what they say is gospel. If COMEX was going to default silver would be about $500 by now. These guys are selling fear and greed

    Apr 16, 2013 16:38 PM

    Nice pop today. If this keeps up we can be even in a month. ( don’t take this as investment advice)

    Apr 16, 2013 16:40 PM

    Nice pop? Gold and silver are dragging across the finish line just to break even. This is still the classic slope of hope!

    Apr 16, 2013 16:19 PM

    Gold gives back $90 from today’s high

    Apr 16, 2013 16:51 PM

    The blog is quiet today compared to yesterday. I think reality is setting in. There is no joy in Mudville Mighty Casey has struck out…

      Apr 16, 2013 16:49 PM

      James, I see based on the number comments you post on this site that either you are off today ore you must be retired. You’re too concerned with whats going on right now. Take a step back and get your mind on something else.

      Wasn’t it you a while back that was quoting scripture.

      Need I quote some to bring you back into the right perspective.
      Some trust in chariots and some in GOLD but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

      These are only temporal things and by the way, like you I have temporarly lost more than 400K IF I SOLD TODAY (Which I wont) and I can honestly say it doesn’t bother me one bit.

      Remember, we’re not suppose to trust in earthly things.

        Apr 16, 2013 16:24 PM

        Timothy,

        Many, many thanks for your dose of reality.

        God bless,

        “I’m satisfied with just a cottage below
        A little silver and a little gold
        But in that city where the ransomed will shine
        I want a gold one that’s silver lined.”

          If I understand you (and I believe that I do) I am with you 100% and, trust me, that is all that keeps me sane!

    I jumped in again today with some gdxj and got out after the small rally showed signs of failing. My Intel shot up today and I have a large number of shares.

    Apr 16, 2013 16:59 PM

    Paul, be very careful the next 2-3 weeks with Intel. They have a nice dividend and that’s about the main positive for the stock. The stock price is approaching some very key technicals especially the 50 week MA which is coming down to meet it in the next 2-3 weeks. Earnings missed this quarter by one penny and revenue hit estimates. This is the kind of stock that will tend to move with the movement of the market not because it looks like it’s going to blow out earnings’ expectations. In fact the CEO doesn’t expect revenues in the near future to grow more then low single digits. There isn’t a lot of room for error.
