Gold took a nice little jump around 10:30 this morning. Was some bad economic data released?

Because there's a lot of speculation right now, the government spending can't be sustained so you have a lot of back and forth deliberation. Shit's gonna hit rock bottom either way, but those who are used to living lives in comfort will take a softer fall by delaying it.

Gold took a nice little jump around 10:30 this morning. Was some bad economic data released? You know... I am no expert - but I wonder how much has to do with simply the dissemination of information. We all see GDP numbers released and talk about the effects of government "stimulus," we see Ford's profit margins and know it's job cuts and CFC. We see shipping down/up and back again depending on the data used. Perhaps there are big moves going on, but different managers (meaning the bigger funds, etc) are trying different plays based on differing opinions on what's next. THat's why one guy on Bloomberg says the recession is over, the next guy on Breitbart says "watch out for the double-dip" and then we have other guys arguing over V or U shapes, etc. Then again, maybe Goldmann Sach's is just trying to make some money and contributing to the volatility with HFTrades? I doubt these swings are from the "little guys" on E-trade buying 10 stocks at a time over lunch. 
ETA: if I had to wager, I'd say the DJIA swings are mostly goldmann sachs conning the markets. I'd say gold probably has a lot to do with China and large banking institutions moving into and out of dollars versus PM's. |

I need to figure out when to jump back in. Of course I could just wait until the end of the year then play the historical averages game.
Than again this could be the big dive and I should stay out for a long long time. Whatever is gonna happen playing the markets now is not for the faint of heart. It sure gives me the willies.... |

I don't invest in the market so i am not and expert but if a person doesnt know how are why it works as it does why invest in it? Also Gold Why is it so high is there really that much of a need for it in manufacturing ?where does it's value come from? Now food,Guns and ammo I can understand the value in that

Best I can come up with is simply an item is only worth what you can get for it and since so many people want gold (for whatever reason) its value will hold up. The value of gold is quite historical and as such should be considered a very safe bet to hold value. In a nutshell, you ain't buying gold, you are buying the belief that gold will still be treasured by many people and they will be willing to pay a high price for it when everything else falls apart. Funny ain't it? Just my 2 cents. |

When we were on the gold standard back in the 30s.....an ounce of gold sold for $32 and you could buy a really good suit with it. When gold hit $300 an ounce........you could buy a really good suit with an ounce of it. Now that gold has reached $1100 an ounce.........you can buy a really good suit with an ounce of it. If back in the 30s you kept that $32 dollars in your pocket until today......you could use it to buy a couple of loaves of bread. |

Isn't the true value of gold the cost of mining it + profit? BTW I almost never wear good suits.but I almost always eat bread for dinner . |

Gold is usually inverse to the dollar. There's incredible demand for it if its still going up in spite of the dollar going up. |

Real assets like precious metals and agriculture are far safer bets than anything else. Everything else is poised to crash, silver is still relatively cheap for now. If you wanted to buy into some company cheap and double-triple up in fairly short term I think your time has passed, but that's just my take. |
