GORO vs ECU even up ?

Lasvegas has GORO as the favorite 10 to 1

My mother taught me to never argue with a woman who believes she’s right. :o)  Yes to your question about the lefthand column,,, also the Q&A’s below. I’m not trying to impress you. I’m only trying to look at this with a logical and open mind…. but when the first youtube tries to belittle the evidence…. in other words, are you gonna believe us or your lying eyes kinda statement, when my lying eyes can see 6 trails coming off of a two engine jet that under any circumstance can only create 2 contrails if the jet is above 25-30,000 ft, I lose faith in the site and call it like I see it….. meaning it is made to deceive the gullible or uninformed. And if the pilots that shot the youtube were only kidding, why did they make the youtube in the first place?? Sorry if none of it passes the smell test for me.

As for testing, I’m not a pilot, nor do I have access to any of the filters etc that could be analysed, so I have to take the word of other researchers who have done this type of testing and not only published the results but showed pictures of the test results. I did check with Caro Labs in Kelowna and a basic test for metals, bacteria, etc costs more than $500 a pop. Kinda pricy for a farmboy. What I did do though is buy an aluminum test kit from Osumex in Oakville Ontario and analyze the surface water from the creek where I get my irrigation water. That little test costs $31 a pop, and it DID show the creek water contains aluminum. On a scale of 1 to 8 on the color chart they sent, it comes up a 4. The problem is that I do not know how significant this is. According to Osumex the reading for inorganic material should be zero. I emailed them and asked if water is considered inorganic but have not received an answer. I’ll follow up but they told me in my first inquiry that they did not give advice or offer conclusions, so I doubt I will get an answer from them.

Here’s another piece of circumstantial  evidence that may be of interest. On days when there is no evidence of chemtrails, there are only 5 or 6 commercial jet flights that go over daily…. presumably flying from Vancouver to Calgary. On days when the chemtrails are being sprayed, there are normally 2 large white jets that fly a constant pattern and make more than 40 passes (chemtrails) during the course of the day. The commercial jets leave the conventional contrail that disappears behind the jets but the large white jets leave chemtrails that keep spreading out until the sky is opaque and obscure… and in no way do these look like clouds. In fact, they look much like the chemtrail evidence that has been presented on thousands of sites.

What surprises me is that you don’t recognize them when they spray them over Victoria. Here’s a site that shows them being sprayed over Victoria in one day in April 2009. This is very much how they look here when they’re spraying. Just click on the video.  http://www.mtl911truth.org/?p=1622   And how many jets do you get in and out of Victoria in a day??? I’d venture to guess not nearly as many as the chemtrails that have been laid down in one day in this video. Peace and good luck!! :o)

….looks like we have a New Enemy….Hahahaha

…thats a classic ..one for the ages….

I am considering an engineering job in the Denver area and would like to chat sometime during non business hours.  Maybe we can try the chat room or email me Aguila at the tent.  Thanks.

On investing in gold: I don’t have the slightest interest in gold. I like understanding what works and what doesn’t in human systems. To me that’s not optional; that’s a moral obligation. If you’re capable of understanding the world, you have a moral obligation to become rational.
And I don’t see how you become rational hoarding gold. Even if it works, you’re a jerk.

Well, I disagree with you on this issue. And I rarely disagree with your posts..ever. Having been attacked, by this moderator, so often and whenever I have questioned the methods and apparent  sensationalism of Gata…I felt that it was fair play to question this person’s impartiallity. Sorry if I have offended you or others. I have my view regarding Gata which has been consistently and over time, held up to ridicule and personal attack by FGC.  I gave him tonight just  a tiny bit back…and then  look at the reaction.  Enough Said.

Europe’s central banks halt gold sales

Europe’s central banks have all but halted sales of their gold reserves, ending a run of large disposals each year for more than a decade.

The central banks of the eurozone plus Sweden and Switzerland are bound by the Central Bank Gold Agreement, which caps their collective sales.

Gold attracts amid increasing nerves - Aug-06

In the CBGA’s year to September, which expired on Sunday, the signatories sold 6.2 tonnes, down 96 per cent, according to provisional data.

The sales are the lowest since the agreement was signed in 1999 and well below the peak of 497 tonnes in 2004-05.

The shift away from gold selling comes as European central banks reassess gold amid the financial crisis and Europe’s sovereign debt crisis.

In the 1990s and 2000s, central banks swapped their non- yielding bullion for sovereign debt, which gives a steady annual return. But now, central banks and investors are seeking the security of gold.

The lack of heavy selling is important for gold prices both because a significant source of supply has been withdrawn from the market, and because it has given psychological support to the gold price. On Friday, bullion hit a record of $1,300 an ounce.

“Clearly now it’s a different world; the mentality is completely different,” said Jonathan Spall, director of precious metals sales at Barclays Capital.

European central banks are unlikely to sell much more gold in the new CBGA year, according to a survey by the Financial Times.

Although many central banks declined to detail their sales plans, the responses of some, along with numerous interviews with bankers and consultants, suggest it is unlikely there will be a return to the trend of the past decade, when CBGA signatories sold on average 388 tonnes a year.

The central banks of Sweden, Slovakia, Ireland and Slovenia said they had no plans to sell, while Switzerland reiterated a previous statement to the same effect.

The CBGA was first signed after gold miners protested that central banks’ rush to sell was depressing prices.

In previous years signatories haggled for individual allowances to sell under the CBGA, but the most recent renewal of the agreement in 2009 contained no such quotas, according to Darko Bohnec, vice governor of Slovenia’s central bank.

….Thanks for that….and I also appreciate the level headed attitude you bring to this board both as a poster and an editor…

Gold’s Historic Rally Continues
By Brady Willett

Then there is the argument we hear every time gold rallies that prices are way ahead of themselves and a repeat of gold’s historic 1980s bust is in the making. This argument is nonsense. To be sure, during the big move higher in early 1980 the price of gold fixed above $800 an ounce twice, and above $700 an ounce only 13-times. By way of contrast, gold has settled above $1,200 an ounce in each of the last 32-sessions (where is the 1980s like mania move?). Moreover, when gold capped off its rally in 1980 the metal rushed higher by nearly 70% in its final month! My calculator says gold today is up a mere 6.14% over the last month.

In short, assuming the great gold rally ends as many other major bull markets before it have, still ahead is a mad panic into precious metals that dwarfs anything we have seen in the last decade. The above drivers of the marketplace noted, the investor can await this day by watching the ETF flows. Until then, continue to own precious metals and, per the adage, buy the dips. The COT data Common contrarian sense says that we may be close to one…

Gold broke above $1300 an ounce on Friday and silver ended at a new 30-year high. Whether these gains are sustainable over the near term is impossible to comment on. What can be said is that gold is likely to remain in a long-term uptrend so long as the central banks continue to try and manipulate currency and asset prices, and/or the outlook for fiscal deficits remains worrisome. In other words, gold and silver today serve as both a hedge against the downfall of fiat money and the threat of major sovereign default(s).

The Demand Drivers

There used to be a time when the COT data was important; when the investor looking to buy or sell gold could study the data to glean excellent points of entry/exit. To say that the COT statistics have become completely irrelevant may be an overstatement. However, the recent data is definitely of little utility to the average investor. In the case of last week (as of September 21), commercial short interest as a percentage of open interest declined for the third week in a row and net small spec long interest barely moved higher even as the price of gold launched by more than $25 an ounce. If the small specs are not chasing rallies and the commercials are not looking to short the heck out of any large move higher, why bother to even look at the COT data? Quite frankly, the expectation of a commercial triggered wipeout in the price of gold (and silver for that matter) has all but vanished. This is not to say that forces will not pile on to try and trigger stops and/or manipulate prices when a pause in buying arrives, only that it is impossible to forecast such an event beforehand.

These points noted, if the commercials were to mount a historic short selling spree or start covering with reckless abandon during a major move higher (suggesting default or excessive fear), the COT may regain relevance….

Until then, the place to monitor what gold is doing is in the ETFs. These financial instruments – many of which own physical precious metals – continue to multiply and attract more investor attention. If you are looking for the main reason why COT is yesterday’s news, look no further than the chart below.

While GLD is one of the most popular and largest gold ETFs, it is hardly alone. As per the World Gold Council’s estimates, ETFs are the hottest game in the precious metals arena. Just imagine if some of these ETFs were not paper promises on gold that is secretly being leased out to the evil shorts… (my apologies to those who do not have an affinity for gold manipulation speculations).

Finally, there are the lease rates. This is an indicator that few talk about, largely because it will only prove its value once - or when the final motherload rally in precious metals transpires. Please refrain from screaming that negative lease rates are proof of manipulation in precious metals (why else would a central bank want to get a negative return from what it regards as a dead asset?)…I get it.

Gold Has Not Reached The Land of Bubble

With the COT data rendered useless and the decline in even the OTC derivatives suggesting paper is not/can not be used to manipulate gold lower, the investor is left with the ETF data. ETFs represent not only the most popular way for newcomers to enter the gold market, but also, thankfully, one of the most transparent.

As for some speculations about whether gold is in a bubble, it should be pointed out, first and foremost, that the onslaught of television/radio/newspaper ads encouraging people to sell their gold is not an indication of a bubble. Rather, when these ads start preaching to buy gold perhaps this line of thinking will make more sense.

Then there is the argument we hear every time gold rallies that prices are way ahead of themselves and a repeat of gold’s historic 1980s bust is in the making. This argument is nonsense. To be sure, during the big move higher in early 1980 the price of gold fixed above $800 an ounce twice, and above $700 an ounce only 13-times. By way of contrast, gold has settled above $1,200 an ounce in each of the last 32-sessions (where is the 1980s like mania move?).

There’s really no need for that.  If you are in a crappy mood then shut off your computer and go get some sleep or take a walk or something.

FGC … you do a ton here and I for one am very thankful for it!

…..and I will pick the detested and Lowly ECU….and lets see which pick has the better % gain or loss by year end….you pick the number ($) and we will make it a bet…

…..Hopefully (if you lose) you will

….. A….Pay Me (Unlike the last 2 guys I bet with and won..)

……and B…apologize for being a jerk

……However I am really really biting my tongue (and keyboard) here….not sure if I can hold back however…

As Canadian stocks rebound, Pinetree boss buys

Assuming that the global economy stays on track, it is conceivable that more institutional investors will look for opportunities in the Canadian market. Because it is difficult sometimes for certain players to buy thinly traded junior stocks, institutions can potentially look at more heavily traded investment firms such as Pinetree (PNP-T1.71-0.04-2.29%) for exposure to small stocks in Canada. Pinetree currently discloses having investment stakes in 408 companies as of June 30, many of them listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Over the past month, Pinetree Capital CEO Sheldon Inwentash has bought 1,072,100 shares of the company in the public market at an average price of $1.41. He now reports holding 6,135,644 Pinetree shares representing approximately 4.5 per cent of the firm’s quoted market value based on SEDI filings and TSX data. Since Venture stocks bottomed in December, 2008, Mr. Inwentash has been opportunistically adding to his Pinetree holdings, accumulating 5,911,900 shares of the company in the public market.

i did the you-tube and it is quite potent. much thanks and a huge cheer for you. wj

uhmmmmmmmm I think that was the point if you read the commentary below the video ..The original video was a hoax which went  viral.

Am I to be impressed that you have looked at hours of footage? Well, I am not. Now if you were to say to me that you managed to collect some of the material ie: chemtrail spewage and brought it to a bonafide lab and had it analyzed well than maybe my ears would perk up.

Have you bothered to look at any of the other links on the left hand side or will you be hanging your hat on the sole basis of what you posted at 20:14   ?

GREAT to see the eagle flying tonight - thanks for stopping by - hope you can be with us more in the near future - we miss having you around! 

I you haven’t seen it, it’s worth the time to put the proper perspective on the history of money and where gold fits into the picture. It’s pretty long but IMO worth the time. Also beautifully sung by Eva Cassidy.
