Long story short, people were expecting Trichet(spelling) to tighten but he did the opposite which in turn revered the short dollar long gold/silver trade. The magnitude of the move down for the metals shows you that a bunch of folks were o the wrong side of the trade. Also the fact that for every short there is a long and vice versa proves that the calls of "manipuation" are ludacris.C.R.E.A.M.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14639849240631326091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-42344729116542730552008-08-27T21:54:00.000-04:002008-08-27T21:54:00.000-04:00Well...

He was saying that silver prices were being manipulated downwards and recommended that people look into silver coins. Some precious metals are going down even though people often can't find coins to buy. <BR/><BR/>I'm, not sure what my take is on precious metals. On the one hand they have come down a lot and there is so much garbage backed by the fed that you might say the dollar has to get weaker. On the other hand, though, a crisis like this is deflationary... if not for the Fed we would be experiencing serious deflation. That might be better in the long run... Roubini/Soros and Rogers/Ron Paul have been in two camps on this, at least publicly. <BR/><BR/>Regarding Cramer... people love to mock him but... <BR/>Is he stupid or is he lights out smart and really looking out for the interests of his buddies at GS and other elite institutions? I'm not sure... but a guy that returned 24% a year every year at his hedge fund and has a Harvard background... it doesn't add up in my mind. <BR/><BR/>NYX, SHLD, BSC...how much money have his calls made...smart money?<BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/59oycr<BR/><BR/>also an excellent interview(Schiff)<BR/>http://tinyurl.com/6h5yxrrosesryellow2http://www.blogger.com/profile/12471278009523940698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-21324255249850793202008-08-27T20:46:00.000-04:002008-08-27T20:46:00.000-04:00I love it.

"The builders have bottomed, but don't buy them!!!!". Well, if they do bottom then yay he called it, if they don't bottom well he told you not to buy, so yay he was right.Siahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05915856696281889732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-84033326892533652652008-08-27T18:59:00.000-04:002008-08-27T18:59:00.000-04:00I don't have a problem with him (or any pundit) being wrong. I'm wrong all the time. But for these guys to show up and never revisit their history and make a revisionist story up, is beyond compare.<BR/><BR/>That would be like me wiping out all archived posts and saying... never said buy Amlyin Pharma! :) Trina Solar? Never heard of it. In fact I've been shorting it for a year.<BR/><BR/>Etc.TraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-6056504984521017472008-08-27T18:55:00.000-04:002008-08-27T18:55:00.000-04:00Haha, did I just hear what I thought I heard??!?!? Cramer just said that he doesn't recommend any of the home builders... even though they have bottomed. WTF? If they have bottomed, your downside is limited, why wouldn't you buy?
