Gold
Afew weeks ago you could have bought it for $870, now it is $970. I have allways said, gold will continue to go up.

WOW, you are a phychic? ATA is taking GP+SCF which made him phychic.. Another great testimonial.. :roll:

ATA now has $1.1 as opposed to $1 yesterday. You guys wondered what the 1 was for in the name TheATA1

jaguar, why you don't post you before-after pics, since you take gorgeouspil?

When gold dips, why don't you post and admit you are wrong? I see your strategy now. Alex and Franco make a bunch of worthless predictions hoping one of them will stick and then everyone will take notice. Your strategy is the same except your worthless predictions are "gold will go up" When gold dips, you say nothing or brush it aside, saying "oh it will go up later" When gold goes up, you crow "OH I AM SO RIGHT!" I ask you many times for specific prediction, but you are afraid. OK then I challenge you. I don't know much about commodities, and do not study them at all, so you must give me an advantage. I pick 3 things: OIL, ALUMINUM, COPPER. I pick them because they all have intrinsic uses, and are not idolatrous like GOLD. Now, if anytime in the future, they outperform GOLD, you LOSE. Do you accept? If I am right, YOU MUST ABANDON GOLD, since it underperforms against other commodities, then the only reason to stay in is IDOLATRY. Either that or ADMIT you are an IDOLATER. How you live your life is your choice, but you cannot behave like an IDOLATER and tell us you are not one.

Well actually the facts are that over the VERY LONG term it would be unlikely to lose money on Gold. But you would have to have it for a long time and you could not liquidate it when ever you wanted to.

yeah of course gold goes up and down, but the general trend for the past hundred years has been to go up...big time..its much more valuable than ahundred years ago when we all departed from the gold standard...its economic fact that gold will continue to go up until such a point as we get new gold in large amounts (probably from mining asteroids)

I disagree -- If you can use such an economic fact to determine gold price in the future, I challenge you to do it now. I am no expert in gold or economics but it seems plain that gold price, like anything else is determined by supply and demand. supply may be limited -- i leave that to you experts to determine. but demand for gold is composed of either two things: utility or vanity. How much of gold is used for cosmetic versus practical purposes? I am no expert but practical uses of gold are pretty small compared to its cosmetic (i.e. IDOLATROUS) use -- if you disagree, show me the evidence. Now, it is probably a safe bet that humans will continue to be vain for the foreseeable future, but there is no economic law behind it. In fact economics has a very poor grasp for determining irrational behavior such as this: This man is selling off his golden palace except for his golden toilet and golden goddess (i.e. IDOL) of compassion. If you do not want to contribute to such idolatry, you should invest in materials with more practical use. Can you get rich off gold? Absolutely. But ATA0 has refused to make specific predictions. Instead he acts like a gold tout spammer. He berates others for being non-christian, yet he excuses his own idolatrous behavior. ATA0, can your gold beat OIL, ALUMINUM, COPPER?

Gold now down $90 since TheATA1 posted this recommendation.

jaguar, are you a male or female?

ok, but lobsang how do you know that these ones aren't available to me?

Gold is money, it always has been money. I don't buy jewelry, I only buy bullion and store it away safely, my eyes has not seen my own gold for afew years now. Basicly you can own fake money which is FRN's or real money which is GOLD. Gold is real money. It is my contention that there should be no mystery about the unusual chronic inflation plaguing the world since the 1930s. The dollar is the American currency unit (and the pound sterling, the franc, the mark, and the like, are equivalent national currency units), and since 1933, there have been no effective restrictions on the issue of these currencies by the various nation-states. In effect, each nation-state, since 1933, and especially since the end of all gold redemption in 1971, has had the unlimited right and power to create paper currency which will be legal tender in its own geographic area. It is my contention that if any person or organization ever obtains the monopoly right to create money, that person or organization will tend to use this right to the hilt. The reason is simple: Anyone or any group empowered to manufacture money virtually out of thin air will tend to exercise that right, and with considerable enthusiasm. For the power to create money is a heady and profitable privilege indeed. Read the late Murray Rothbard's book here. http://mises.org/money.asp And no, he is not related to Kernel Sanders

first off most of the people that are on here are not in California (at least that is what I'm guessing)
