2. QUESTION:
   Traders: Is the price of gold being manipulated by the Feds?
   I believe it is.
   But now that we have a new Chairman of the Federal Reseerve Board, the practice of using (illegal) Gold Swaps with foreign countries is going to stop and gold prices will fall in line with historical action.
   Coupled with rising inflation and US interest rates, the nominal price of gold will rise to over 00 an ounce.
   Assuming all of the above is true and the spot price of gold will reach its peak in May of 2008, what is the best way to make as much money as possible with the least risk?

   • ANSWER:
     1/ GATA beleives it was/is ! In a larger context, I agree.
     2/ I am not sure what the eventual price in $USD will be.
     HOWEVER, price in $USD might not be a good indicator.You may wish to use another currency. The Gold/Dollar Index has hinted to further strength in the $USD Gold Cash Price.
     3/ To absord all the liquidity / rationalize all the paper curreny in circulation, the eventual crossover price I have heard quoted was 50% higher and that was 5 yrs ago I last heard it.
     4/ Questions exist as to the "real" quantity of gold acutally above ground. The potential existence of greater amounts than ever officially acknowledged, entering the world gold pool thru "grey" channels makes the potential for mischief (manipulation) significant IMHO.
     5/ As to leveraging yourself for this eventually, junior precious metal stocks on the verge of development and production seem a good candidate. Lacking that, one might try a "depositary-like" stock, as CEF, to try to leverage moves. Caution here, as timing will be everything.

     Good Luck

6. QUESTION:
   how do you sell gold ingots - does it have to be at a gold trader or will a bank buy them?
   I am in the country and there does not seem to be anyone that does this.

   • ANSWER:
     In the USA, there is no legal restriction on selling them to any interested party. It is most common, however, to sell gold ingots at a coin shop. Assuming the hallmark on your ingots are one of the commonly recognized ones, most coin dealers will pay about 95% of current spot price.

   Now gold price is at 1311$ how can we capture this opportunity? What should be the right entry point in your opinion?

   PS: If you have one of those smart comments related to conspiracy theory please refrain from sending your comments and save your time and mine!!!!

   The current gold price is a temporary pause due basically to profit taking from short seller considering all this stimulus plans and money printing the inflation is inevitably driven higher which will drive for sure the Gold prices to higher levels. I would be interested to get your ideas on how we can capture this unprecedented investment opportunity in Gold?

   • ANSWER:
     Have you ever thought how meaningless such a prediction is? Of course it's most likely to set new record prices when it's near it's record high. Would they make that same prediction if the price of gold was an ounce? I would be far more willing to buy gold at an ounce than ,300. There's no opportunity here, a simple daily volatility of about would make such an offset from the current price the most probable offset in a random walk within a year's time. It's just a bunch of opportunists trying to promote themselves as being able to call what the price will be and sensationalize what are actually lackluster 50/50 predictions as being insightful and ground breaking.

12. QUESTION:
    Do you think the government manipulates the gold market, in an attempt to prop up the dollar?
    "anyone, and I do not care how well respected or how well known they are, who denies that there is official sector intervention to keep the price of gold down is willfully blind and has forfeited any right to be listened to when it comes to commenting on gold."
    - Dan Norcini, veteran commodity trader
    Guys I'm not an idiot. I know we're no longer on the gold standard. But the common belief is that gold & the USD are kind of polar opposites: when one goes up, the other goes down.

    So in order to bolster the dollar, or faith in the dollar anyways, does the government work behind the scenes to keep the value of gold artificially low.

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know Dan Norcini, but you people that have called him a dolt or idiot didn't pay attention to what he said. The poster of the question implied a link between gold and the dollar, where in the quote by Norcini supplied by the poster do you see Norcini mention the dollar? All he said was that there is intervention in the gold market to keep prices down, where did he say it was intentionally kept down to prop up the dollar? Before you guys start throwing out insults, go back to school and take a remedial reading course.

      The posters are correct in that the dollar is no longer backed by gold. So, now that the dollar is pure fiat, does the price of gold affect the value of the dollar? None that I've seen. But, the value of the dollar does affect gold. A declining dollar is inflationary and gold is an inflation hedge. When the fed cut rates on the 18th, the dollar slumped from 79.59 to 78.42. That is inflationary and in response, gold jumped from 4 to 5. I don't see a direct link of the price of gold affecting the dollar, but the value of the dollar has a definite affect on the price of gold.

13. QUESTION:
    is it viable to mine gold on other planets?
    I have seen many programs that say gold and other precious metals came from space with gold prices going through the roof is it possible to scan for gold and go get it?
    also would traders on earth trade it or would they try to block it?

    • ANSWER:
      The asteroids are a better bet. With robotic and remote control equipment being improved all the time we can just about do it without sending a human there. That cuts the cost a lot. I expect this to happen when the price of gold hits 000/ ounce. (No, I didn't loose a decimal) This will be within about 10 years when the dollar collapses and the world turns to a gold standard as a reserve currency.
      To those who say too much would flood the market, we're short of enough now, that it would take much more to make it a useful reserve currency, really. And check out how diamond prices are controlled. An adequate supply with an international cartel controlling the supply would be perfect for world reserve currency.

18. QUESTION:
    I have recently purchased a gold ring with diamond settings and want to know its true value?
    I bought it from a trader at a market, it must have been a wedding band because it has the inscription of;
    i promise to love you now and forever,this ring is the circle that binds us together. There are 12 tiny diamonds set in the ring which is 9ct gold with silver diamond shapes around the centre. It should of cost £99 sterling but i managed to only pay £85 sterling. Now i wish to know if if was worth it!!?? Any one know how i go about this without expensive jewelers.?

    • ANSWER:
      Most jewellers will offer two kinds of valuation. One for selling purposes, which is a quick look over, and they'll give you a price.

      Then there's the insurance valuation. Because you get official documentation and a certificate with this they charge. The last time I had something valued, it was a flat fee of £18 or £20 + 5% of the value, although if it was found to be over £600 the flat fee went up to £25 (I think)

21. QUESTION:
    Where to Sell Gold Billiards & Coins in London?
    I have a gold billiard (1 ounce, solid gold) and a coin (1/2 ounce, solid gold). I'm launching a business right now so it's probably the best use I will have for the gold and makes the most sense to sell it now to raise extra funds.

    Does anyone know Jewellers or traders or any place in London, that buys Gold billiards and gold coins and pays the market price (the actual Index price that gold is valued at on that day). I know the value changes a few times a day and I know there's companies who buy unwanted jewellery at rip off prices. I want to actually walk in to a building, hand the gold over and be given the real value of the gold... Is there Banks, Gold Dealers, Traders or Jewellers that pay the Market and Trading price, does anybody know where they are in London?

    Any useful advice is appreciated,

    Thank you

23. QUESTION:
    During the 1930's depression, how, if at all, were the Americans that had their gold confiscated compensated?
    We are refering to USA citizens residing in the USA and in good standing with the U.S. court system during the time of the early thirtys. You see all these ads for gold for sale to prepare for hard times but what is to prevent this from happening again. People that had "hoarded" (saved) gold were called "traders with the enemy" by the U.S. government at that time. Also, they were threatened by the government to have their names publicly printed as such as an additional incentive to relenquish any gold holdings.

    • ANSWER:
      If they brought their gold in, they were fairly compensated. If they were tracked down and prosecuted, the gold was confiscated.

25. QUESTION:
    What is happening to Gold prices?
    Has anyone noticed the trend, when NYMEX opens Gold starts down. When London closes it can plunge. http://www.kitco.com/charts/livegold.html It seems to putter through the day then regain when Asian markets open. Is New York, or possibly the Day Traders, driving Gold down?

    Gold has been a hedge against inflation and consumer driven stocks and commodities yet since oils recovery, it's been following the trend of oil prices. The first two seeks of July it broke free and gained about , but it's lost that gain over the past 48 hours.

    Any ideas?
    Alvie you've hit the crux of my question. When Market confidence declines investors historically have sought refuge in Gold. Granted it's become more consumer driven than in the past but even India, who is the largest consumer has seen price rises in the face of decreased consumption following the monsoons negative impact on the agro-economy.
    I don't understand Sandy's comment. Firstly, since China, India and some African companies are indicating economic growth we can't really call this a global crisis. (That's another issue.)

    US unemployment reports will impact the US economy and countries it influences. If China, India and developing countries turn to their domestic market, the US loses it's impact.

    And anyone who ignores trends, as illogical as they may be, is a fool. A wise investor may even bet against the market. That's one of Buffett's recipes. But thanks for the answer

    • ANSWER:
      During the last couple of days, consumer confidence and durable goods numbers were reported significantly less than expected. And this has put into doubt the predicted economic recovery and possible inflation associated with it.

      Perhaps people's inflation expectations have decreased. And that's why they sold off some of their gold.

27. QUESTION:
    Can workers in investment banks invest their own money?
    The topic says it all.
    Can people, for instance traders who trade for Gold Man Sachs invest their own money in stocks, forex when they are not on work?

    • ANSWER:
      Of course they can but ones who don't want trouble in their lives do it carefully.

      The deal is that your firm gets a copy of your brokerage statement (you can lie or open a brokerage account in your kid's name or whatever and if you are discovered you will be fired and possibly prosecuted). A compliance officer looks at your brokerage statement and looks for evidence of excessive trading (which means you are doing too much during the day other than your job) or hints of insider trading. If either of these are suspected, you take a career hit that goes all the way to being fired.

      All these firms keep restricted lists. There are two levels of restricted - one level is that you can't trade these securities if your mother is thrown into the street and you would like to sell the shares to afford a nursing home for Mom and the next level are ones that you can trade with permission, waiting periods, etc..

      Most people who work for Goldman are making good money at their jobs and don't have time for trading anyway (they also get a very deep understanding of they level of infrastructure that is required for consistently successful trading). The portfolios of Goldman employees as a whole is probably very boring - lots of SPY, mutual funds, boring municipal bonds, etc..

29. QUESTION:
    I feel the prices of gold is going out of the reach of middle class people who buy on rare occessions in life?
    of course it is very hot cake item for trader,
    is there any possibility to help the middle class peoples enable them to buy .

    • ANSWER:
      very simple if you see the big picture.
      if you want 500 grms of gold say 20 years down the line then start buying 1 gm each month using GOLD ETF . you cannot guess the future price but you can restrict the huge amount by cutting the requirement into small pieces . there is a saying that the journey begin with a first step.
      if want to gift some gold to your wife next year, starting buying it now.

      another advantage is what ppl call ' cost of averaging'. since you do not know the future price, you can buy now with 1 gm and continue it till you reach your goal. you will find that the cost of purchase in most cases is less than the avg cost. ( this falls only when the gold price dip continuously till your goal is reached is is unlikely in the current scenario

30. QUESTION:
    once there was a king who took all the gold in his land and put it into 8 bags. he made sure that each bag?
    weighed exactly the same amount. The king then chose the 8 people in his country whom he trusted most, and gave a bag of gold to each of them to keep safe. On special occasions he asked them to bring the bags back so he could look at them. one day the king heard from a foreign trader that someone from the king's country had given the trader some gold in exchange for some merchandise.The trader coundn't describe the person who gave her the gold, but she knew they were from the king's country. One of the 8 people he trusted was cheating him. the only scale in the country was a pan balance. the scale won't tell what something weighed, but could compare 2 things and determine which was lighter and which was heavier. the king asked the 8 to bring their bags. the king only wanted to use the balance 3 times. his court mathematician said it could be done in less. what do you think? 1.develop a way for comparing bags tht will always find the light one 2.explain how you're sure it's right: prove

    • ANSWER:
      weigh 3 in one and 3 in the other:

      if they are equal:
      weigh each of the other 2 in one pan each. One will be lighter, voila

      If they are different:
      take the lighter set of 3, weigh one in one pan and one in the other and hold one aside. If one is lighter, voila, if they are equal it's the one set aside.

      that's the whole thing in 2 weighings

    • ANSWER:
      The Bible also says you can't shave or eat shellfish. This is a good example of why you can't interpret the Bible by the letter or the law, and you can't pick and choose which rules are "outdated" and which ones aren't. I follow the Big 10 and classify the rest as rules for proper behavior in ancient Hebrew communities.

      The Bible was written by people.

33. QUESTION:
    The Tillamook Indians Lost Gold Mine has it been found?
    The Tillamook Indians Lost Gold Mine

    Where: Oregon Coast Range

    When: 1850-1900 (Store reports below)

    Evidence/stories:

    1)Gales Creek traders would get payment in gold nuggets from local Indians.
    2)A store east of Forest Grove owned by Colonel T.H. Cornelius would receive payment in practically pure gold for credit given to the Indians. The Indians would disappear into the hills for a few days than reappear to pay their account.
    3)The settlers would try to follow the Indians into the hills but the Indians would loose the settlers west of Gales Creek.
    4)A white prospector was able to surprise an Indian and his son carrying a heavy load of gold dust from the mine. The prospector murdered the Indian and his son. Another Indian who worked in the mine was murdered in a Saloon brawl this lead to the thinking that the mine was cursed by evil spirits this left the Indians with a fear of the mine.
    5)An old Indian woman was ill and being cared for by a white lady when she revealed that it was the ill woman’s husband and son who had been killed by the prospector. The Indian woman was poor and wanted to pay the nurse, so she wrote the directions down and asked her nephew to go to the mine and bring back some gold to pay the nurse. The old lady’s nephew did not go to the mine.
    6)Along a creek on the West Tualatin Plains, Indians would camp on Sol Emericks 160 acre farm. Sol was able to obtain some of the big nuggets and had them made into rings for his wife and himself. One day one of Emericks old friends was dieing and she gave Emerick directions: “Where water runs into a lake in a black canyon, you will find it.”
    7)Panning on the coast has produced gold along the Nehalem River.

      Your first option should be to fund fully a retirement account. If you do this, and you have extra cash, then one of the best things you can do is open a DRIP Plan.

      These powerful investment plans are seldom talked about because brokers make very little money when they suggest them. Yet, they have proven to be one of the best, if not the best, long-term strategy on Wall Street.

      They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They are safe and allow you to not care about whether the market is going up or down. They are a must for any serious investor.

      I strongly recommend looking into it. They are great plans.

37. QUESTION:
    In The elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, does the trader effect how much money I will get?
    I know the question is confusing, so here's an example. Lets say i have some clothing i want to sell. I go to store A and the trader will give me 10 gold for it. Can i go to another store and possibly get more money? Or is it 10 gold everywhere? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      On default they buy things at about 30% of their worth and sell them at I think 180%. Depending on how much they like you and how high your merchant and personality is, you can adjust this scale. Best I got was buying at 55% and selling at I think 130%, but that was towards the end of the game during the time I had a small enough amount of gold to actually watch it. If you make the effort to maximize their disposition towards you, and then adjust that scale, you could probably get 11 or 12

      And it depends on who's buying. Unloading jewels at a tavern or armor at a bookstore won't get you much, assuming they'll let you. Only ones who take it all are the fences.

38. QUESTION:
    In Magic The Gathering, the cards "Bazaar Trader" and "Goblin Guide" are gold. Why? They don't seem very good.?
    Bazaar Trader: It costs 2 mana, it's a 1/1, and if you tap it, then "Target player gains control of target artifact, creature, or land you control." Key word: you control. Why would I want to give them my stuff?

    Goblin Guide: costs 1 mana, it's a 2/2, Haste, and "Whenever Goblin Guide attacks, defending player reveals the top card of his of her library. If it's a land card, that player puts it into his or her hand." Why would I want them to know their next card? Why would I want them to draw a card?

    I can see how Goblin Guide might be considered Silver, since it only costs one mana and it's a 2/2 with Haste, but I wouldn't go as far as classify him as gold.

    • ANSWER:
      The Gold refers to the rarity of the card not really the effectiveness of the card, so some cards can be bad but still "rare". (see Goliath Sphinx and Predatory Urge)

      In terms of bazaar trader, it was meant for the multiplayer format for trading with your teammates. Although in single player there is some quite complicated combo's that would find his ability useful. (maybe giving them Eldrazi Monument so they sacrifice their own creatures. Giving them Abysal Persecuter when they have negative life)

      Goblin Guide is a completely different story. Just think of the pace that the goblin sets. Imagine if your opponent plays two. If you have no answer, you will be down to 10 in 3 turns. (and if you play a blocker he might just bolt it anyway). The ability of the guide is not really all as bad as it seems, you get to know exactly what is in the players hand or what he will be drawing next and you can then react to it, which is a great benefit in this game. And if you play first and play the Goblin Guide first, the worst thing that happens is that they get a land in their hand (you can only play ONE PER TURN) so its not overwhelming as say 10 dmg in 3 turns.

      The only way to really see Goblin Guide's effectiveness is when you play a deck with him in it. and they pull off two on you.

    • ANSWER:
      The Portuguese imposed a peace treaty on the Bakongo. Its conditions, however, were so harsh that peace was never really achieved, and hostilities grew during the 1660s. The Portuguese victory over the Bakongo at the Battle of Mbwila (also spelled Ambuila) on October 29, 1665, marked the end of the Kongo Kingdom as a unified power. By the eighteenth century, Kongo had been transformed from a unitary state into a number of smaller entities that recognized the king but for all practical purposes were independent. Fragmented though they were, these Kongo states still resisted Portuguese encroachments. Although they were never again as significant as during Angola's early days, the Bakongo played an important role in the nationalist and independence struggles of the twentieth century.

      The Ndongo Kingdom suffered a fate similar to that of Kongo. Before the Dutch captured Luanda in 1641, the Portuguese attempted to control Ndongo by supporting a pliant king, and during the Dutch occupation, Ndongo remained loyal to Portugal. But after the retaking of Luanda in 1648, the ngola judged that the Portuguese had not sufficiently rewarded the kingdom for its allegiance. Consequently, he reasserted Ndongo independence, an act that angered the colonists. In 1671 Ndongo intransigence prompted a Portuguese attack and siege on the capital of Pungu-a-Ndondong (present-day Pungo Andongo). The attackers killed the ngola, enslaved many of his followers, and built a fort on the site of the capital. Thus, the Ndongo Kingdom, which had enjoyed only semi-independent status, now surrendered entirely to Portugal.

40. QUESTION:
    How do I claim cash from gold?
    I have an 1898 9-carat gold pocket watch given to me by my Grandmother and she said to sell it and keep the money.

    How would I go about doing this without using online Cash for Gold websites? I have taken this watch to Jewellers and they have told me how they would get it insurance valued but at a fee which they would charge. I'm not prepared to pay fees and don't want to send this watch to anonymous online traders who claim to pay out for your 'scrap gold'.

    What else can I do to get the monetary worth of this watch?

    Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Take it to a nearby auction house. They will value it for free. If the valuation appeals to you get them to auction it. Set a minimum price and see what happens. You will have to pay them a percentage.

      Hope this helps. Good luck.

41. QUESTION:
    Blacks Africans sold blacks to America ? SO why are Americans the bad Guys here?
    If tribal africans had not sold their own tribesmen to slave traders--there never would've been slaves brought to USA..in early 1600's..So why do black people not blame africans for betraying them and making Gold off the sales?

    • ANSWER:
      Slavery has been around since the beginning of history, and still continues today. African blacks do not have the monopoly on the "I was a descendant of a Slave card." Your statement is true. A large portion of the slaves were sold to white slave traders by Black Africans. These captured individuals were usually from a enemy village.

      I am not sure why the seller is not as hated as the buyer. I suppose the 200+ years of degradation has forged some hostility in the black culture. I can understand the root causes of this anger, but I as a thirty something white male, had nothing to do with what happened to blacks of the past. All I am responsible for, is how I treat people now. .

46. QUESTION:
    If greed and fear are the main factors in spot gold pricing, would blog listing greed/fear factors be saleable?
    This would be a daily blog, on a subscription basis, listing greed and fear factors operational at the time of publication. It would retail for around per month. It would arrive by e-mail to subscribers, or on their kindle machines.

    It would contain only non-insider information. No information from inside any gold mining firm. No information from insider any bank.

    Everything would be public data, but on a global basis, so when you get your e-mail, you get a greed book with every factor listed in order of importance, and you get a fear book with every factor listed in order of importance.

    You are supposed to combine this information and analysis with your own insight and knowledge and develop a competitive trading edge that is personal and that gives you a fair advantage in the spot gold market, as a bullion trader, or as an ETF trader, or as a futures trader (calls and puts).

    Would people pay per month for this? How about if it included bulletins in real time for major greed factor or fear factor events?

    How much would the competitive advantage be worth to the average bullion trader, handling say a moderate portfolio of assets.

    How about if the first 100 subscriptions were sold at a discount premised on the idea of giving honest endorsements that could be used in advertising (affidavits, but where the ads would just give the first name of the customer -- like Bill from New York, or Sally in Paris). Let them buy 6 months for half price -- see how the endorsements come in --- if they are good, pick out the best ones and use them for marketing.

    In the second year, if the business is still up and running, new customers pay ,200 per year. Old customers get a one year extension on their original price (0/year). In the third year, same thing, price doubles for new customers, all old customers pay last year's price. So new customers in the third year pay ,400 for the year, and all the old customers pay ,200 for the year.

    This is a pure service. There is no product. There is no anti-trust law that applies. Whatever pricing power exists is there because the service works well and people make money using it. The pricing power should be exercised strongly until it starts to result in a sub-optimal number of customers. The free cash flow should be used to hire more global research personnel to monitor greed factors and fear factors in real time, especially when the spot gold market is closed. So the morning report has huge competitive advantage impact on those who receive it and read it. They have to see the money they are making --- show them the money!! That's the world we live in today. OK good -- my question is how powerful is this business model?

    If the person starting the business was an MBA/JD with 30 years experience trading gold, and the service was really very good, is there a better way to get the business up and running? Does anybody have a suggestion for a publisher besides Kindle, Google, Sony, Yahoo, and Microsoft?
    The report of greed factors and fear factors is publicly available information to all persons who want to stay up all night and analyse what is happening in the world. The factors are also put in order of importance. That requires analysis. Analysis can be done skillfully or unskillfully. Let's assume that unskillfully done analysis is worth less than zero but that very skillfully done analysis is worth at least ,000 per day to a gold bullion trader. Let's also assume that there are at least 1000 businesses that make a lot of money by providing data and interpretational guidance to clients in real time -- so my idea is not completely new.

    Not everybody knows everything at all times with correct weighting of its relative significance.

    Why would an MBA/JD ask about a business model that contained no value proposition for the customer?

    Just so a moron could offer an inane comment? I think not.

    My questions does not go out to the morons, it goes out to the geniuses.

    • ANSWER:
      First of all, I can't believe I actually read all that. Your idea has a lot of merit in it. The big, gigantic, gargantuan, titan-sized problem of course is your effective analysis of all the factors involved in greed and fear. I believe that such information would need to be real-time for short-term traders and on a weekly basis for long-term traders. Again, the biggest problem is that pretty much every news item would affect fear and greed, and the affect is different on everybody. An effective method of analysis is not easy to come by.

      Another thing you need to solve is trust. You have an MBA/JD and over 30 years of experience trading, but so what? In an industry where everybody puts forth their all and only the geniuses shine, those credentials of yours form a foundation but you can't build your house on them. You need to be able to convince the largest trading companies like Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and others to use your service. Because what you are doing has never been done in a truly effective way, you will see skeptics everywhere. It will be hard to sell.

      Which leads us to price. Starting off, you should mention to your prospective clients that you are offering a limited introductory price. Don't give them the idea that your service is cheap. They need to know it is cheap only for now, and they should take advantage of that. Once you have credibility, I imagine that a reasonably effective real-time analysis would be worth upwards of ,000 a month. A very effective one could be worth upwards of 0,000 a year. Remember that greed and fear are the main driving sources of prices. The better your method of analysis and ability to explain said method, the more you can charge.

      This is an enormous undertaking.
