    Starting to notice a definite uptick in the percentage of gold trades in the forums compared to silver...

    Similar to April, but precious metals reversed (Silver instead of Gold)?

    The point within a circle...
    It doesn't surprise me, given the rise of the gold market recently.

    I've always had my majority holdings in gold. Very glad I have now... :D

    Must be 'cos of all the sheeple on the forums buying into the whole "Gold as a safe Haven" story!

    I swear that is the second time you have accused me (unjustly) of having missed the train! Don't make me search all these damn threads for it!

    Anyway...on the slight off-chance that it wasn't you besmirching my train catching ability I can assure you I jingle when I walk due to the large number of gold coins I carry around.

    I did stop buying arounf $890 an ounce though and other than a few sovereigns which I picked up for $350 each I haven't bought gold for a while.

    It pains me to see Gold at $1800 however the percentage gain I would get if I started now would be less than what I have after having bought at the discount price of $900! Plus this high price is only going to lead to a correction and then you will be begging me to buy your gold off of you, maybe.

    I am on the silver train (which actually I think I said last time)

    YOU TOO? My ratio was 45 silver to one gold. And I just started again, purchasing some silver today to start again. I need to investigate if I can claim the accident as a capital loss?
