    Can any overseas SS members tell us if they get similar 'at close of trading the Australian dollar was 1.07 US' type messages every hour or so on the news.
    Now that has to have an effect on the popular perception of the Oz economy.
    I tend to think it a symptom of our inferiority complex cultural cringe. 'Look at us we're really important - no really important'.

    Kiwi here - obviously don't get updates as regularly but we are getting told a few times a day we are at "post float high against the USD"

    What interests me is that our media don't talk of the aussie dollar being so strong at 1.07 USD they talk of the USD falling to 1.07 aussie.

    This morning there was a gold and (almost) silver segment on Nine's Weekend Today show.

    Interviewee tried bringing up silver but MSM just not interested yet.

    Watch it here - Look for Go for Gold video: http://today.ninemsn.com.au/videoindex.aspx

    Sky News had a big piece on gold today. How it is the 'safe haven' in turbulent times.

    Also had a meeting today at a customer site, i got there too early. While i was waiting at reception, a couple of the security guards were discussing ... SILVER.

    After my meeting, i quizzed the remaining guard about it (I wasn't Mr T or anything, i did ask politely ...). He said the other bloke was into rare earths, but the one i was talking to was interested in silver. He said he had been closely following it, and if it consolidates, he will buy big. His Dad apparently made a lot of money in the gold bull market in the late 70's/early 80's ...

    .... And he had never heard of Silver Stackers.

    An article appeared in 'The Weekend Australian" in the Business section page 23,August 20/21, the heading of which was " Gattung finds making a mint easy".

    The gist of the story is that in 2007, she had just celebrated her departure from TNZ, visited the Perth Mint by chance, bought about 1000ozs gold for $1m and now it's worth $2.1m

    She says"I've certainly missed the peaks of the market, but I've also missed the troughs".

    She also said "I am a conservative investor, I look to cash, property and precious metals"

    Graph shows the price of gold and when she bought in.

    The old saying money makes money is certainly true in this case.

    A lot of SS members have the foresight to make heaps of money but lack of fiat is the only thing stopping them and in my case it not only is the lack of fiat but father time waits for no man or woman.

    Sorry I can't give a link to this article but I'm still a learner as far as IT goes.

    Regards Errol 43

    Harry Dent was just on Sunrise, saying:
    * Aust housing to crash by 50%
    * if you are thinking of selling your house, SELL NOW
    * if you are thinking of buying a house, wait 3 years
    * Gold and Silver are in "the biggest bubble of all" (this is just after he mentioned 50% housing correction)
    * sell everything and get into fixed interest deposits and cash

    I thought this thread was long gone..Mi$$ Honey started it about 6 months ago and I thought at the time it would be around for a long time. I thought it was a good idea to keep abreast of MSM on what they have to say about PM'S in different parts of our country.

    Are you still posting Mi$$ Honey? :)

    Two things:

    This article in the Fairfax newpapers:

    "A range of experts" talk about what they learnt from the GFC. All of them are talking up cash at the moment.
    Only one mention of gold and it was only to say how gold showed no return since 1974.
    Wut?
    If there's any proof that gold is still an investment at the margins, it's the talking heads blowing hot air.



    Also the latest issue of "Smart Investor" magazine (look for it at newsagents everywhere) has the cover article "79 ways to find a stash of cash":

    http://www.afrsmartinvestor.com/p/magazine/ways_to_find_stash_of_cash_DkMv3R7k8ySGzYOK7Fv64H

    How many of those 79 ways do you think was gold related?

    One.

    And the advice? If you think gold is going to rise to $2300, buy some gold shares like Newmont Mining or invest in some gold ETFs.

    James Dines in the Sydney Morning Herald:

    And his views on what he calls the Chinese "resources imperialism":
    Is it true that China can buy the whole world with US$3trillion?
    And he closes with some personal advice:
