Today's Wall Street Journal has an article entitled "Five Reasons Gold Is Surging Toward $5,000 an Ounce". In short:

- The debasement trade / economic and political uncertainty
- Lower interest rates / rotation out of government bonds
- Central bank buying / de-dollarization
- Stocks are expensive (at historical highs by some measures)
- Momentum

At this rate... tomorrow?

Hope everyone remembers to update their insurance coverage as needed. Might need to put your insurance broker on speed-dial.

I woke up yesterday morning to a 2 week ban with NO explanation! I've emailed the administrator but have not got any response regarding the reasons why.

I started that one topic which generated a lot of activity and now all I can do is sit on the sidelines and read what others have to say while not being allowed to participate myself.


There was also another topic going on at the same time regarding gold and silver but it ended up getting locked.

In both of the topics I was extremely surprised at how many people were in favor of gold. In the other topic (the one I'd not started) .. it seems like half (or more) were in favor. I'd not expected anywhere that many to be in favor. Maybe 15, 20% tops?

What???

I don't participate in that forum anymore, but I do browse/lurk occasionally. I saw your gold thread. I didn't see anything that warranted banning.

Bizarre!

Yeah, the last I saw a day or so ago was that there was an argument really brewing. I guess the dissent against the mainstream wisdom wasn't looked too kindly upon.

Deleted??!! That is the extreme. Usually they only get Locked.

Let me check.

After the ban I'd been able to go in and see and read as late as this morning.

But now I am getting this:

"The board requires you to be registered and logged in to view this forum."

Can you get to it here?
