It's geek speak for "substitute a 'B' for a 'T' everywhere in the current line". In other words, the OP meant $80B, not $80T.
You need to start with a ":" :lol: I doubted there were many sed (or vi/vim) users in this day and age but fishball's another fellow enlightened one.
I understand ya! BTW, where can you get those 2.5oz Harrington? any place in Sydney? I'd like to have a closer look at those wondering have you ever check them for tungsten? seems like a likely candidate for the swifty to take place
Is there a minimum size below which tungsten just becomes too impractical? I would have thought this was "reserved" only to much larger bars. Any thoughts?
Last person I knew to have one was Steve/Aurora Et Luna - he knows his Harringtons. Which is fairly lucky - here in Brissy all I've seen so far recently was a Mitsubishi 100g - seller wantyed spot +12%. No fething way! Might also be worth checking CityGoldBullion here in Brissy - they've usually got the lead on poured silver bars, but shhh... its 'hush hush' yeah? NB: As for my gold, I always get receipts from a dealer, taking pics of the bar with the receipt, then get it XRF'd if its over a 1oz blob. Never had anything go wrong, but better safe than sorry hey!?
picked up a 1oz'er today $1680, thought that wasn't too bad for a 2010 kango but rest assured it will drop more now that I purchase it it as a impulse purchase because I was going to hold out for lower prices...anyhow time will tell.
It's Christmas time and the long paper traders are closing their positions? I seem to remember the same happened last year (as I bought up cheap stuff).
Gold dropped to the lowest in more than three months as signs that U.S. lawmakers may be closer to a budget deal boosted equities and reduced demand for the metal as an alternative asset. "If we're seeing something substantial come out of the budget talks in terms of finally getting spending under control, then that's bearish for gold," http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-...s-budget-deal-optimism-spurs-commodities.html
In the US, the Republicans appear to be suddenly softening on the much-hyped 'fiscal cliff'. There's talk of a Plan B revenue-raising tax bill which avoids the 'OMG INSTANT RECESSION!!!' option of automatic funding cuts and tax rises. Of course, nothing material actually has changed.
What did I say in my post? Of course, then so many jumped at my neck! http://forums.silverstackers.com/topic-34159-potential-gold-crash-in-2013.html It could go way below this! And I could see it this year earlier! It's not something I want to happen, it's simply a strong correction and looks like gold has lost the momentum it had. Look at the "humps" in 2011 and 2012. Forget about figures and moving averages etc. Corrections are very strong. And if they are so strong, the stop-losses get triggered, bringing the prices lower. Yes, I know the feeling of how it is to "buy high" and then bite your nails later. I saw a Kitco video interview yesterday (could not find the link now), but an expert was predicting gold between 1,200 and 1,400 US $ next year! I think if it dips below 1,500 $, it could go even lower! Yes, it will be a great opportunity to buy: pick the bottom, if you can!
This is weird, it's dropping even more abruptly and going deeper. It's the US GDP growth that's primarily fueling it: http://www.thestreet.com./story/11798398/1/gold-prices-plunge-on-positive-gdp-data.html Many stop-losses must get triggered now... we might get a "waterfall". I wonder how deep this will go...
I propose we collectively buy an ounce of gold for Cind3r once in a while, so we can enjoy even greater discounts when the price drops! :lol:
