I agree, at 1000 I would be backing up the bus, as with golds fundamentals increasing by the day, that price would be too good to be true.shekels wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2020 11:34 amWell you may be right, but looking at the price swings and the last 5 years pricing there is support at 1300.pmward wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2020 11:26 am1325 is not a price I would buy at. That is just below a very strong support line. If we get there, it means further breakdown is likely. Personally, I'm a buyer of gold between 1350 and 1400. That area should be strong support. I really don't think we will break below that. So I'm willing to buy there. If we break down from 1350, I would be more inclined to sell gold than buy gold as odds are we would see another 10-20% drop from there. Fundamentally though, I have a hard time seeing a possibility where we break down below 1350. All those hoping to buy gold at 1000-1100 are basically practicing wishful thinking imo.
Of course that may not mean a d** thing in this Market, but again that is my guess.
But if it does go to 1000 I will be catching falling knives and not be to worried.

Re: Signatures
1000$ an ounce sounds attractive. Hopefully the markup won’t ruin it.

Whatever happened to RSS?
I've been using Feedly since Google's RSS went black.

Same here, I love RSS. For me, the high point of the web was the blogging and RSS era, right before social media came in and ruined everything. I was mad at Google for dropping Reader, but Feedly is very nice.Kriegsspiel wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 8:45 am Whatever happened to RSS?

I’m glad to hear there are still RSS fans out there!

That’s really cool. I’ll be thinking about that the next time I order vaca frita.(tortoise’s) vaccine: "matter used in vaccination," 1846, from French vaccin, noun use of adjective, from Latin vaccina, fem. of vaccinus "pertaining to a cow." A mild case of cowpox rendered one immune thereafter to smallpox.
Re: Signatures
Love vaca frita! But I enjoy ropa vieja even more. I really hope my local Cuban restaurant survives this lockdown.

I'm quite fond of Bill Ackman! Ackman, like Buffett, "saw the light" when he discovered The Intelligent Investor. I believe there was a Forbes magazine cover that called him 'Baby Buffett', which I think is an apt description.
What's especially interesting about Ackman is that he's found an extra dimension in value investing that may be a relative safe haven from the ravages of market efficiency. That is, he practices activist value investing. What kind of opportunities can be had when a value investor can influence management?
Going even further to use CDS's in order to turn some 26 million dollars into 2.7 billion dollars. I think an operation like that would fall under Graham's definition of "special situations." I think that can fall under the rubrik of value if one thought the CDSs were mispriced (in this case it appears they were).
All this talk about stock picking is giving me that hankering...

Re: Signatures
I'm guessing the "raise chickens" means live ones, not the chicken legs I raise to my mouth and slurp.
We do have a relatively close neighbor in a large new home that has a chicken pen in his yard with a dozen or two birds. You can hear the roosters crow early in the morning. Perhaps they are for eggs, perhaps for meat, perhaps to teach his children some history or how to take care of animals, perhaps for the alarm clock.
DNA has its own language (code), and language requires intelligence. There is no known mechanism by which matter can give birth to information, let alone language. It is unreasonable to believe the world could have happened by chance.

Re: Signatures
I asked you first.
Nah, I’m just asking because it seems to be becoming a trend. I’ve got a school friend who’s been raising them for years, but the number of friends who is raising them is suddenly increasing.
