The GOLD scream room

I don’t want to put the burden on her, Mark. That’s true love.

If she starts to get big eyes, likes the word "precious" and draws out "S" sounds, you definitely need to leave.

Promise Mark and I if that happens you will move on, will you?

I'm glad you said that. I was going to respond but I wanted to let you first respond.

I read your initial statement as saying you did not want to put her in the position of something possibly going wrong, her not handling it the same way you would.

You'd regret it if you had put her in that position and something did go wrong.

Therefore, you believed it would not be fair to her to do that.

You were casting no suspicions on her.

You merely wanted to be the one who took all the responsibility for the transaction correctly happening.

You got it, Vinny!
By the same token, i have a favorite ceramic mug that I ask her not to wash, to leave it for me. (We share dishwashing duties). She wanted to know why, and I said if someone eventually breaks it, I’d rather it be me, ie be angry at myself. It may sound strange to some, but this is a philosophy and lifestyle that works for me.

I COMPLETELY understand! Some things are always best done by oneself.

You know what's funny, though? I asked her if she would feel comfortable receiving it and she said it's fine. So, maybe I'll just order.

Wow, didn't even get credit for bringing the funny. Do I LOOK like I have a bat in my avatar?

[Tortoise]

I was a little confused by DS's reply, too, and had to read it a couple of times to parse it.

I think the emoji was in response to your comment, Kbg, then the "You got it, Vinny" and the rest of it was in response to Vinny's post. The confusing part was that DS quoted you but not Vinny.

[dualstow]

you parsed correctly, Tortoise.
Kbg, i wouldn’t have bothered to quote you if you weren’t going to get credit.
geez, lot of handholding required here

I'm needy that way. LOL.

Budd, gold was up more than bonds were down. Did it make you smile?

I don’t own any TLT DS. I want to, but just can’t make the purchase. Staying in cash for now.

Margin call contagion calling in the gold?

Never thought I would see the day....

As an aside, what are the REAL inflation rates like in Canada? Are prices going up at a great rate?
House prices in Australia are ridiculous, but that is not counted in the CPI. Guess they think people don't live I homes????

Buy gold!

Buy gold!

Now you're talking.

The ultimate POS

[buddtholomew]

HAHA, what a piece of crap..buy, buy, buy.

[buddtholomew]

HAHA, what a piece of crap..buy, buy, buy.

There’s nothing anyone can say on this board that convinces me Gold is worth anything. I feel the same way about the PP - a cowards portfolio that amounts to nothing. What a joke and a waste of time.

[Tortoise]

What happened to the Budd from last December?

[buddtholomew]

Scenarios similar to March 2020 unfold with irregularity and in-between the PP investor relinquishes too much in equity gains to make 4x25 worthwhile.

The PP would still be treading water today if I hadn’t violated 15/35 bands and increased stock exposure near the March bottom. It was tactical asset allocation rather than the PP that accounted for the outsized gains.

At last glance I am up 80%+ in Gold LTD but have reduced exposure to the point where it no longer matters much to me. One day gold is worth something and the next day it’s worthless. I’d much rather invest in real estate as a store of value that also pays dividends than rely on the greater fool theory when it’s time to sell Au.

How about some platinum? Mmmmm......only 60% the cost of gold and infinitely rarer above ground. It's denser and ohhhh so noble.

Not as pretty though.

What happened to the Budd from last December?

Yet another Mathjak type, expecting the PP to be the end-all be-all of investing portfolios, waffling back and forth on their feelings about the PP in the space of just a few months, spending their time on the forums blabbering on and on without providing one iota of anything meaningful to the discussions. All we can do is point out their past statements/inconsistencies. Maybe they'll eventually understand they don't know anything about the future of markets, just like the rest of us.

It’s down almost 3% this morning.
Take a look at my post responding to Tortoise and let me know whether you still feel the same way about me not adding anything “meaningful to discussions”. I explain my personal reasoning.
