Bank of Spain: Drama and treachery loom ahead

7:30 pm (Hawaii) A full, busy day is almost complete. To think I stayed up through the night relaxing, then kept watch on my position in FAZ from the opening bell (3:30 am Hawaii time) until I sold it before the closing bell, I didn't expect that. But it was necessary and I'll do it again and again if that means making a nice profit. Still surprised I got through the night and day without any caffeine.

Staying away from everything but FAZ gave me peace of mind. Had I crashed out in the middle of the session, a stop order to sell was in place, so I was content. AGQ? No. I haven't touched that in weeks, maybe months. Too unpredictable, and I maintain that the banksters are shorting silver big time. DGP? My favorite gold play, but in this market, I'd rather wait and be late to get back on board than try to be a hero and get shot down right here.

DZZ (gold short) and ZSL were possibilities, but keeping track of FAZ was plenty enough for me. The chances of banksters turning things around without trillions of Bernanke bucks are almost nil. The chances of gold and silver bouncing hard are fairly good, so why bother messing around with either DZZ or ZSL?

Lots of catching up to do with my preferred bloggers and vloggers. Take a look at Turd's latest blog. He says, again, that there's a clear difference between trading paper gold and silver, and owning physical. I own my share of metal and keep it in a little sack. The thought of selling it doesn't even occur to me regardless of spot price. Physical precious metals are savings and that won't change as Europe keeps moving toward stability and the US prints its way to disaster.

About gold: With spot hovering well below $1,800/oz and possibly on its way to early August levels (below $1,700), buying more metal is in the cards. I haven't touched any physical since gold was at $1,660. If we're about to have a dead-cat bounce and the market is due for another major dip, I'll be ready to pounce at big discount prices in gold and silver. When the hedgies who emptied out their gold positions to raise cash are ready to deploy their dollars in due time, they'll be racing back into gold like maniacs. There is no substitute in this flim-flam monetary system.

Final note: I haven't looked at any recent video by BrotherJohnF, but two days ago he did say that he sided with Clive Maund about the coming downtrend in spot silver. He added that he would short paper silver to hedge his physical holding. I thought it was a smart strategy, and he turned out to be right. AGQ dropped to 160 today before closing at 165.

Ain't it true?

What I had to do was to find stocks that would be hoisted up because they stirred people's imagination for the future. ... I was not interested in the company's individual products, whether it was metals for rockets, solid fuel, or advanced electronic equipment. In fact, I did not want to know what they made—that information might only inhibit me. I did not care what the company's products were, any more than I was influenced by the fact that the board chairman had a beautiful wife. But I did want to know whether the company belonged to a new vigorous infant industry and whether it be haved in the market according to my requirements.

This, of course, was directly against the advice of many financial writers with conservative backgrounds who have been pounding into investors for generations that they must study company reports and balance sheets, find out all they can about a stock's background, in order to make a wise investment. I decided that was not for me. All a company report and balance sheet can tell you is the past and the present. They cannot tell the future. And it was for this I had to project my plans.
