    we all know the old cart can roll down the hill pretty quick! but get enough people behind it, yep she go’s up pretty quick too

    Jan 25, 2012 25:22 PM

    2015 ,here we come.
    $150 silver.
    $4500 gold.

      Jan 25, 2012 25:12 PM

      It may be a lot sooner than that.

        Hey guys,
        That would be nice, BUT buy the dips and dollar cost average – in my humble opinion – A LOT of volatility to come! The “paper tigers” might still have some things up their sleeves. Also, another idea I had was – if we are looking at these type of gains I would already be looking ahead to these type of Q’s.
        1. When do I start booking profits (stepping out of the bull market) in a step by step way?
        2. If and when do I secure these profits BEFORE-the government looks to bite into our
        projected profit – i.e. ‘windfall tax” or some other non-sense, in addition to capital gains taxes?
        3. WHAT DO I DO with them after gains are realized? i.e. What other investment (hard asset vehicle) is out their to safely convert to?
        Hey, its never too early to look down the road? This is all just “food for thought” and conjecture at this point – BUT………
        All the best,
        Marc

        I hope so.

      Jan 25, 2012 25:58 PM

      even at $4500 may be to cheap….in 2015….you might be looking at
      $12000…..three years out is a long time….

        I like those numbers, Jerry!

    convert to real estate as per Mike Maloney, hopefully in a safe jurisdiction ie. Canada.

      Jan 25, 2012 25:01 PM

      Are you going to make 100% on your money in real estate, with out hassel., and taxes

      Jan 25, 2012 25:24 PM

      Its my humble opinion guys that thats the safest play -real estate!

        I like Detroit real estate, there is a lot of upside there….(joke)

          Jan 25, 2012 25:10 PM

          Out of the box,
          unfortunately – for Detroit – but that’s funny.

        I would not buy US residential real estate with your money. Maybe after another 50% drop in prices, I would take a look at it. Now Farmland is a different story, and I do not know anything about Canadian RE.

          Jan 26, 2012 26:31 AM

          Bobby, I agree with you….on the real estate…the “cycle” is not correct for that investment…and you are correct o”n the farmland.

      Jan 26, 2012 26:35 AM

      Timing is everything. At some point, at or near the top of this bull run, I will convert into real estate, but knowing when to get out is key, and seems to me to be a long way off. Mike Maloney is good. I enjoy his talks.

    Jan 25, 2012 25:31 PM

    I like certain land and housing investments in latin america , and some lesser known countrys in Europe. I have yet to move on them . when my gold gets way up i will sell , and them redeploy to some types of land investments. Land in USA is largely overpriced. Florida houses are very cheap, but —- storms and hurricains make FL too dicey for me. god bless S

      Jan 25, 2012 25:53 PM

      I am very glad my fellow, intelligent bloggers are thinking ahead…..hey, good for us!

      Jan 25, 2012 25:17 PM

      Plus do not forget….. , Florida has those “big snakes” that are invading the glades,
      and I am not talking about the “politicans” which are here campaigning .

        Jan 26, 2012 26:10 AM

        As a Florida resident, i do not see prices as cheap. News yesterday was that over 50% (yes 1/2) of homeowners are underwater in their homes. Look at the cap rates, even rents are falling.

          Jan 26, 2012 26:33 AM

          Bobby,,,,where are you living in florida?

    I am repeating those targets based upon time and price /charts given by Eric De Groot and can be found with some research on his site.

    looking much further out, i love silver and think unless it’s price reaches mad numbers 600/1200 at least, silver will once the globe finds some form of normality consumption will go through the roof again, i can see that’s when people will see how little silver there really is, any thoughts !

      Jan 26, 2012 26:12 AM

      phil, my thoughts exactly. It is hard to believe but some say the gold/silver ratio might even reach 1:1. I will be happy when we return to normal somewhere under 20:1

    Jan 26, 2012 26:37 AM

    ya see, I don’t see as the bull in silver has even left the gate lot’s of kicking and bucking, but no where near running ! any more thoughts

      Jan 26, 2012 26:45 AM

      Phil,
      I think the “kicking and bucking” is fast approaching the end. I believe the macro- factors that we have been discussing over a lengthy period FINALLY take hold. The silver horse will soon leave the gate and the “investment competition” in the dust. As fellow bloggers might have already assumed, I am a MAJOR silver bull and I have invested accordingly. Anyway you slice or dice it, there are a mass amount of bullish factors affecting the relatively small silver market. I believe, in my humble opinion, ( here we go – I am not an investment adviser), but its “KATY BAR THE DOOR” for silver to assert itself!
      All the best,
      Marc
      PS – What the H___ am I doing up at this time in the morning!? Have NO CLUE…..couldn’t sleep.

        Jan 26, 2012 26:56 AM

        BTW, Phil –
        With all that said in the above post, silver can be and probably will continue to be, at times, BRUTALLY and VICIOUSLY volatile….proceed with caution- and for goodness sakes DON”T invest funds you need to live on…again NOT investment advice…just a guy trying to make his way in a very attractive silver market-with major obstacles down the road!
        All the best
        Marc

        Jan 26, 2012 26:17 AM

        marc, I think you are in the right place. My friends laughed at me 2.5 years ago when i sold my house in Cali and bought silver with the tax free profits. just got a note from zillow that the property is now worth over 200k less than i sold it for, and the silver….well, you do the math.

          Jan 26, 2012 26:53 AM

          Bobby,
          Congrats and good job! NO……great job!
          All the best,
          Marc

            Jan 26, 2012 26:49 AM

            marc, well time will tell, there is no income stream from pms, you have to sell them to live, unless you want to work until you are 90.

          Jan 26, 2012 26:38 AM

          Bobby,
          You’re one smart and gutsy guy.
          Great job!

        Jan 26, 2012 26:23 AM

        I Agree.On all points Marc.I think it will Fly from 34 maybe vertical again.Because gold 500 and what ever in 80 leaves one hell of a gap for par if that was the last High for 50 it is a big mave to be in a ratio of anywhere near that.That is stating facts not investment advice on my part either.We will see.I do know that unless my low swinging chariot shows up for an assension of Faith.But either way it will be seen.

        Marc….the answer to your question,” WHAT THE H….AM I DOING THIS TIME OF THE MORNING..”
        You are now an offical …. “AL”-CO HOLIC… THAT IS A “BIG AL”.CO HOLIC.

    There is panic in Europe…….run for gold.

    A little commented on fact was that back on Jan 12, Italy stopped accepting old Lire notes (which had been exchangeable into euros. Rumors are that Italy has started printing New Lire notes, because it’s debt is too big to save. Major problems start for Italy in April.

    Jan 26, 2012 26:59 AM

    Bernanke’s attempt to kick the can into 2014 will not work because the bond vigilantes will not allow bond interest rates to stay low, and 100% buying of federal notes by the federal reserve will trigger mass international dumping of the dollar……..the start of hyperinflation is close and the rate of increase will be incredibly fast.

    Jan 26, 2012 26:37 AM

    Can? GOLD go to $4.000 by 2014? I don’t so. Between now and then $2.400 tops and then back down to $1.800 with a $200 range up and down.Siiver may hit $80.00 year end. Gold will go to $2.200 by Sept,.Hey but who knows.

    Jan 26, 2012 26:38 AM

    Raymondo….do yourself a favor and start reading James Sinclair….might give you some
    insight…Respectfully….out of the box Jerry

      Jan 26, 2012 26:59 AM

      Jerry O -out of the box
      I follow Sinclair very closely too – good call. BTW, I am flying to check out Detroit RE today….then I am flying back after wasting my time and money flying there………wow, real estate problems everywhere in US..Who would have “thunk” it just 8 to 10 years ago!
      All the best,
      Marc
      BTW, I miss you and Irish bantering back and forth – its fun.

        Jan 26, 2012 26:53 AM

        marc, check out some of the bank owned stuff, i was informed that in Detroit, they were giving properties away FREE, to the right person. BTW I am still a California RE Broker, let me know when you want to buy there.

        Jan 26, 2012 26:47 AM

        marc…btw….I AM STILL LOOKING FOR IRISH, HE STILL OWES ME SOME MONEY
        ON OUR LAST DEAL….I understand from” the queen “, she also, got stiffed by him.

      wiiutdrbinesnnc on February 25, 2011 A very innovative wind turbine design. This is very creative but for those who cannot afford to buy this type of wind turbine, they can just create their own wind turbine using any designs they would like to have for as long as it can function well. Having wind turbines can truly help in sustaining a costless electricity since it is just free.

    Jan 26, 2012 26:08 PM

    As an old real estate developer I would suggest buying nothing but income producing farm land or a hidey hole small cheap farm for all cash. RE is destroyed for a decade. You can rent two nice places … one north and one south for the winter to escape the cold for the price of one decent house. Real estate taxes and utility costs are an open-ended, sky’s the limit pricing deal. Don’t go there.
    In the future do not count on any income producing property for serveral years. Its all based on credit and credit is busted. WE CALLED THE TOP IN JUNE 2005 WHEN LUMBER FUTURES TANKED -Traderrog

      Thanks Trader Rog

        Jan 26, 2012 26:56 PM

        Marc…..ROGER IS SPOT ON….
        (It takes one to know one…meaning…also, been there done that)
        now, I know why I like trader rog…)

      Jan 26, 2012 26:13 PM

      i also agree with you, TR
