The logic goes something like this :- Vaccine means less need for stimulus Less stimulus means bond yields not suppressed (they go higher) Higher bond yields means stronger dollar Stronger dollar means lower Gold and Silver It was a knee jerk reaction but chart monkeys would argue that technical damage has been done. We're still fluctuating either side of $1900 so not a big deal IMHO. I'm expecting choppy sideways action until Inauguration Day. Upward trend to resume once the Presidency is settled. What has been most interesting has been that Bitcoin sold off a little and bounced convincingly. It is showing resilience and confirming its bull market trend to my eye.
Ideally, I would like the $100 up days to join us first, @alor. A $250 up day might be too much for some of us old stacker farts tickers to handle, and we may go into cardiac arrest
gotta question the timing on the vaccine thing. If this announcement was made 2 weeks ago, the election outcome would have been different. I dont even like Trump but you have to wonder, especially with the media mocking him for saying a cure could be announced around election time. It seems he was expecting the announcement to be released before poling day as he was adamant weeks ago a vaccine would be ready before poling day and when trump was mockingly asked by the media who was making this Mysterious vaccine that was going tobe ready really soon he replied saying pfizer. So has big farma played some politics here and delayed the expected announcement? Im thinking yes. would have taken allot of wind out of the dems sails on the whole covid response thing if Trump had of announced there was a vaccine
Even with the vaccine they can not stop the neverending stimulus and they can not raise interest rates. The vaccine wont have the healing power on the economy some think it will. It doesnt change anything and wont make a difference besides slight upticks for some shares. The damage has been done.
Of course not. People decide when they will materialize profit or loss. All I know is that the current price level is lotsa profit in terms of purchasing power. Profit gets grabbed. Won't be gold alone though, there's a super crisis to expect. Just another. Once again orchestrated by central planners, this time using a virus as excuse to hit the economy and living together. Bearish talkers often suffer the Cassandra effect.
Same rules as always still apply then. Stay calm and stack on. Stack twice as hard when the price gets smashed.
I don’t think spot is the problem of staying above the line... it’s AUD that making the spot tanking in AUS!
There are always people that say a higher price. They need a sucker willing to pay it. Then both hands down on the SELL button. And then the same people will say a lower price. They need a sucker willing to accept it. Then both hands down on the BUY button. Old story.
Janet Yellen will be the Treasury Secretary. Biden's pick) Higher Stock-market. (Even with their shitty PE ratios) Higher Bitcoin. More debt. (Can you hear those printing presses?) Great news for those who want to get into the precious metals market.
In the future, you mean? The days of the printing presses are long gone. They're smarter now: produce 1 billion new, destroy 1 billion minus desired inflation ratio existing. How to destroy: make them pay $2000 instead of $1000 for an ounce gold, then get the difference by fining the lbma banks for market rigging.
