Not a Mexican holiday, bizarre how Mexicans in the States celebrate this day.

Down at the start againGold dipped below 1500 briefly and could settle there somewhere south of there, but Silver has the big problemSilver down to $37 could drop to $30 short term, margin requirements are set to go up again next week and this could further push down silver.

Been in Afghanistan since the beginning, over Libya as well.

Gold down about $25 might test the $1500 levelSilver down to $39Holding breath but I think we have seen the big move of the day.

Is that the same turd as our TF?

The ones the Liberals ordered and committed to 10 years ago?What a phony issue for them to bring up.

Why do they make me suffer through these OTs so often?

HEY

Iggy just wasn't being true to himself, he is more of a blue Liberal but was playing far too left and it came off as all wrong.Even I could be a persuaded to vote for a blue Liberal platform given the right candidate. If this loss flushes out all the "natural governing" old guard Liberals who think if if if they could just get back all those old Liberal voters everything would be back to the way it was. I hope not be replaced by the those who harped on about hidden agendas, scary Cons, soldiers on the streets, you won't recognize Canada and so on that obviously missed it's mark. The Liberals n

This is about the same % that Chrétien used to rule with an iron fist thanks to a fragmented opposition, with the exception of the 93 election.As I see it the Liberals are done, their left wing is gone and the "Blue Liberals/Paul Martin Liberals" have a natural home with the Conservatives where ideally they can have a moderating impact on both the perception and substance of the Conservative party. Then we can get back to a functioning two party system.****Here are the %ages of the vote the liberals won to form majority governments.1993, 41.24% 1997, 38.46%2000, 40.85%So the Conservative major

Like, can the party survive their bright idea last month to force an unnecessary election?Five weeks ago Canada had a workable if often unsightly government. We had a recovering economy that had weathered the recession in better shape than any other major developed country. Inflation was not a threat, the dollar was st

POG at a new high this morning of $1575Silver took a dive this morning of of 13% to $42 making the news on CNN but has recovered to $47 and it's not even noon yet.

The mines will by necessity forward sell some gold from time to time and have full time traders but they do their best not to forward sell more than they could deliver on by the end of the quarter or say a months production in excess of that because the CEOs of these companies are constantly predicting higher gold and can't have large short positions showing up in the reporting sending a mixed message to investors.

One of the first questions investors ask a mining company is "are you hedged" and what they want to hear is no, so that the stock is a true gold play with full upside POG exposure.Dumping futures would take that away and hurt your stock in this market and they only make the big bucks if the stock price keeps going up.

That's Bill Murphy's site, I spoke with him at a trade show and well, he has his shtick and some points but is too "out there" for me.

So far today POG up $21 to $1557New all time high

Mines typically ship gold once a week to the refiner and is generally sold as it's produced, there was one notable exception and that was Goldcorp, they were holding a part of production as bullion and had around 200,000 oz but that was in 2003-4 when gold was sub $400, they did this to increase their exposure to rising gold. this position was liquidated for a takeover quite some time ago.The reverse of holding back gold was the norm for a while where mines would forward sell gold to lock in profits but now companies that are un-hedged are proud of it because the get the full upside exposure t

Last week of the campaign and it looks like the liberals have shot themselves in the foot by forcing this election, they are now running in third place behind the NDP.

POG still holding above $1500, been a week now, getting used to these levels.Waiting on news from the FED

Yes the "dollar bubble" is deflating, can it pop?
