You just said in another thread like 2 days ago that "bitcoin is going to $600".  Are you pulling an Armstrong on us?


lol

Gold going up again. Armstrong will make an update shortly pretending he forecasted it.

... before that it was 2012, then it was 2015, then 2016 ... he's run out of rails himself a long time ago.

The high is probably in.. good time to short if you want to make money... take some leveraged shorts for 6 month options and buy bitcoin with that profit in 6 months.

Further to iamnotback's note just above, Fox Business News mentioned that Marine La Pen now has the lead for the next presidential election in France.  If she wins, it's adios to the Euro Zone.  Brexit is likely to be good for Britain.  Re Grexit, ahh, who knows.....

I do not know enough about Europe to say whether that is good or bad, but it would be SEEN as bad news in the short run.

DJIA (Dow) is now down 180 points, the sharpest drop since the election.

MA is pointing to 2018 as when we start going off the rails:

Don't waste your time and money. He talks like and is as accurate as Nostradamus.

Just wondering if anyone has ever purchased one of Martin Armstrong's reports? I just started to follow him on his blog, he recently blogged that he has a 2017 report.

I'm relatively happy selling off some bitcoins when it was around $1100 for $1148 gold.  Now I'm 75% silver 25% gold and still have enough bitcoins.  All my bitcoin and gold + silver are free at this point and I'm playing with the house money so it doesn't matter a whole lot.  

It's possible bitcoin goes up from the cup and handle here, or it's possible it enters another bear market until next halving.  The fact that the Chinese manipulators got their leverage, wash trades, and zero fee transactions cut off means they might have some problems manipulating it above $1150 for the near future.  Without being able to margin it higher or create giant short squeezes, they might also attempt to raise price, get stuck in the $1100s and create a triple top.

While I definitely agree that these crimes are heinous and that the open borders policy was very poorly thought through, that is a long bow to draw (that anyone protesting the Trump Admin decision to deny entry to visa holders from these countries ignores atrocities).

I would say most everyone abhors atrocities except the most ideological and extremist. Most are able to distinguish the difference between people legitimately fleeing a warzone & subsequent associated atrocities and the f*cked up actions of some of those who have fled in Europe.

The US visa process is already long and difficult and the vetting is thorough (while the Euro open door policy was not. As per the Wikileaks Gaddafi cable, deposing and murdering him was a mistake that uncorked the entrance to Europe for mass migration.) But this is very different from US entry.

Banning entry because of the country you are a native of is a great sentiment for scared people but is more in line with the Trumpian theme of protectionism; that is the line I think it reflects - walls, trade tariffs and stopping immigration.

Armstrong takes a look at Rapefugees in Sweden raping a gal and posting that to Facebook:

Snowflakes and our political Left (Soros dominated?  How else to explain the reactions to Trump's restrictions on immigration?) do not seem to have any problem with Muslim atrocities.  Disgusting.

There you go again with your theories.. it gets you into trouble man.. and its giving you a reason to stay long gold even though you shoudlnt be.. anyways last time i tell you that hopefully it will pay off sometime in the future for you

WTF? MA ran a $3 trillion hedge fund. Those other bums haven't done shit.

The reason I give it any plausibility is that when the metals bull ran began in 2016, there was a lot of gold being transferred to the US from Switzerland in what seemed like an effort to prevent a run.  The small bullion dealers and places like the 300:1 leverage Comex are completely disconnected markets.  It's entirely possible for gold to be near spot at small dealers and be much higher for bulk.  I imagine a lot of these OTC deals for bulk are also done trying to maximize secrecy and avoid places like the Comex because they're scared of govt confiscation or something and want to leave as little of a paper trail as possible.  If you're not going through a dealer or Comex, I imagine the price would be high.

There is also virtually 0 difference in people like David Morgan, Jim Wille, or Martin Armstrong.  Morgan's $25 silver call for 2016 was a bust.  Jim Wille's calls on UFOs or whatever he talks about have (probably) been wrong.  Meanwhile, Armstrong is either wrong or claims the price will both go up and down at the same time, and that 2015.75 date sure was bogus as well.

Bix Weir is another one who is probably below 50% in calls.  The one thing I do find interesting about his constant claims is about the grand canyon supposedly having a mother load of gold there, since it seems like there actually was a story printed in the paper about it in the early 1900's, then it was never heard about again.  Whether that story was fake and for market manipulation purposes or whatever, who knows.

I have seen JW's claims (and I do enjoy his work, but he provides little evidence of his more out-there remarks).  The big problem I have with his claims of physical gold being hard to get (in quantity) is that it apparently is not true...

FOFOA claims (and has long claimed) that physical gold is reasonably available in quantities up to 10 - 50 tonnes (depending I imagine).  One tonne is $40,000,000 in round numbers:

$1200 * 32.1 (toz/kg) * 1000 kg = ~$40,000,000.

A price of $2200 per toz of phyzz would drive many owners to sell the phyzz and replace it w/ paper gold (for a nearly 100% paper profit).  I would take that chance even now were I an owner of (say) $120,000,000 ($1200 / toz) in gold (3 tonnes) and then make a $100,000,000 (paper) profit...  For now, paper rules.  At some point though, physical gold will rule.

Until someone Jim Willie knows actually shows a contract or other evidence of $2200 gold, I think all that is highly unlikely.  And I am a Freegold guy, about as optimistic as they come re the future price of gold when all the paper burns....

Trump can't fix this:

This is an alcoholic who makes shit up to sell newsletters. He admitted everything to me in email back in 2007. Should I go dig up the email exchanges from my archives (really I don't want to waste time!).

I am experiencing nearly constant nausea, which is an expected side-effect of the strong anti-Tuberculosis medicines.  This nausea also produces a delirium effect. So don't expect too much of me until this nausea subsides. The 4 different medicines continue for 8 weeks (1 week already completed). They say sometimes the nausea subsides after 2 weeks, but not in all cases. After the 8 weeks, I have 16 weeks of a 2 drug regimen. It is also possible that regimen could make me nauseous, but less likely. My body does seem to be producing the necessary chemistry for me to sleep unlike before I started treatment when I was experiencing debilitating insomnia. Now it is debilitating sleepiness, nausea, and something like a delirium from that combination. I presume I will come back to normal health eventually.

Again this presumes I don't have a multi-drug resistant strain which is resistant to all 4 of the drugs I am taking. The incidence of 4 drug resistance in the Philippines is quite high at ~0.5% - 1%. And I might be under greater risk, because most likely I was infected numerous times with TB, probably dozens of times.

Unfortunately my doctor here did not collect a sample and culture it to test for multi-drug resistance and thus I can't know if I am wasting my time with these medications. Additionally my doctor in 2012 for my acute peptic ulcer had prescribed ofloxacin without first testing me for TB, thus if I already had TB then (which is very likely as I think it caused my ulcer) then he made my TB resistant to the only second line drug treatment for multi-drug resistant TB.

So in short, the doctors in the Philippines are incredibly dangerous for your health. They also destroyed my right eye (my USA surgeon said if I had gone directly to the USA, he could have very likely saved 90% of my vision in my right eye).

Stay away from the third world if you value your health! I hope I don't have to say this again! 70 - 80% of the filipinos are carrying a latent TB infection. The WHO hides this data from you! If I had known that, I wouldn't have gone here!

Similar to bitcoin its trading around same price im sure if you want that stake in it. We should get back to 1k in gold pretty soon now
