Passive investor = Buy, wait for long-term significant appreciation

'Discerning' passive investor = Buy at troughs (or when gold spot price reaches statistical moving average line), wait for long-term significant appreciation

'Active' investor = Buy at troughs (or when gold spot price reaches statistical moving average line), wait for medium-term significant appreciation (normally 6 to 12 months), sell at peaks, buy again at new troughs (or when gold spot price reaches statistical new moving average line),

Gold bug = Buy at any cost [but don't be in debt], mostly physical gold, keep under bed tongue.gif

(Selling at peaks should be done if you'd like to use that gold for monetary use anyway)

This is how I define gold investors anyway (the other analytical definitions too are useful). Maybe a combination of these strategies are useful. biggrin.gif

Marc Faber: Don’t Store Your Gold In The United States

As usual, the CNBC hosts were completely dumbfounded.

Phoning in from Sao Paulo, Brazil, investment guru Marc Faber was a guest on CNBC last week, once again telling the unvarnished truth about the state of the world economy and bankrupt western nations.

This time, Faber had a very clear message: that everyone should own *physical* gold… and what’s more, they should store it outside of the United States:

“I prefer if investors hold physical gold in a safe deposit box, ideally outside the US, in various locations… Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada… I think it’s important in today’s very uncertain world to diversify, not only the various asset classes… but also the custody of your assets should be in different jurisdictions.”

His hosts couldn’t believe it. -NOT- store in the United States, the bastion of freedom and security??!?! What lunacy!

CNBC: “Uh, so do you thus not trust US banks or US custodians? Do you think they might fail or abscond with the gold?”

Guffaws and incredulous snickers emerge from the hosts.

Faber: “I don’t trust anyone.”

Uncomfortable silence.

CNBC: “Hmmm. Interesting.”

Yes, UOB least spread. And as far as I know, only PB can trade online. For the other banks, you have to do it over the counter.

Probably not that very well understood to the public, or accessible, or the instruments for trading that fast is not avalable locally. What do I know?

I think people who are waiting for 1650 might start lintang-pukang buy even when it reaches 1675.
