Ok! Ok! So gold broke thru 1033! Big deal! What we gotta focus on–and get happy about–is the fact that gold is still comfortably above $1000–with all the firepower of the Cartel–with the hit to silver and HUI, ya’d think gold would be $920 by now…I’m starting to think gold still is resilient–also, remember the idea that if the world “re-crashes”-like in late 2008 that gold will go down initially, then start a big move up-even with the $-like it did in 2004- as RECOGNITION TIME dawns on the world investing community that ALL currencies are suspect…low print on Dec gold is $1027.10–real time is $1029.70

So when will be the next US Treasury auction take place?

p.s. Do you think the Asian stock markets, especially in China or the India, will go in a different direction away from the US stock market? Japanese stock market has been a bear ever since since, while the US and other world stock markets were at all-time highs. I wonder will the Asian stock market do differently moving away from the US stock market trend in the future? I mean if the major growth are in the emerging market like the Chinese market for example, why shouldn’t they in bull market while the US in bear market just like Japanese stock market has been doing for decades opposite to the US stock market in the past? After all the US is following Japan’s footsteps.

Silly?

Judging by the impact that spikes of liquidity injections have had on the market – and short-term market sentiment, doesn’t it seem reasonable to assume that the government has the crash-flu injection syringes lined up and ready to use at the appropriate time? Is it not reasonable to assume that the party in power – recently elected, with an appetite for power heretofore unmatched, would do whatever it takes to maintain a (phony) sense of ‘optimism’ going into 2010? Is it not reasonable to assume that same party is not about to let the other (bunch of phonies) across the isle, retake power in November? Is it not reasonable to assume, from what we already know, that our Treasury secretary, various cabinet members and the Federal Reserve act in concert to direct markets?

Although I am in agreement with those that believe market forces are ultimately more powerful than our ‘officials’ capability to distort the laws of financial physics, I am aware that ‘ultimately’ is not necessarily, Now. A few more months, electioneering, platitudes, phony housing & unemployment data will likely be the ‘ultimate’ arbiter of actual direction.

Why would anyone “ionvest ” in gold in the short run anyway?
You can trade or speculate in gold in the short run, you invest in the long run.
The former you can (still) do with the paper forms, the latter in physical, which makes the holidng-on easier too, due to greater difficulty of liquidating the physical holding, and provides some imposed discipline.
