    Just loving how you quote something as your own knowledge when it's not.

    There are plenty people calling a period of deflation (I even said it myself last Thursday) so no, you're not some kind of genius just because you state something a few weeks after others have already said it.

    Go on, have a think about it, why do you think governments and central banks have been doing QE?

    I'm selling pooper some viceroy tulip bulbs for 5 times the average house value. The herd says they're worth £3.99. Do the opposite of what the herd says.

    Go down.

    I think we're about to see a sell off in gold unlike any other in recent history (by that I mean since the 1980's).

    The squiggly line 2nd from the bottom on the chart below represents the strength of purchasing power. It has accelerated rapid since September 2018. Far more rapid than even the previous assent between 1977 and 1980.

    Other reasons to think we might be in for a price action reversal?

    1) Everyone is saying 'buy gold'. Do the opposite of the herd

    2) We're heading into a dollar crisis, squeeze, dollars are needed. It is the biggest short in history and people will sell anything to get dollars, including gold.

    3) Deflation. Everyone seems to be screaming we're about to hit massive inflation, whilst ignoring the massive inflation of the past 15 years. We've had massive inflation - how are people not seeing that is beyond me... and they're calling for more.

    4) Gold has been on a 20 year long bull run. Really, we're calling for more? Really? Sure Gold might test the previous high, $1800-1900, big deal. The risk to the downside is far greater, however.

    5) Gold is not an investment. Too many folks are treating it as such. It is insurance against inflation. What could make that go wrong? .... A period of deflation & people saving their money at the same would be the worst thing ever for Gold price action.

    6) Lately, mining costs. Gold bugs always like to bring up the minimum cost to mine gold, thereby securing the $1000 floor. In the 1990's the gold mining cost fell sharply. Why? Because a massive rise in unemployment meant people were prepared to work for less. Here's something to think about, cost of pulling oil out of the ground is now the same price as it was in 1987!

    Stochastic just crossed down on the monthly chart, weakening strength in the face of increasing price. Bearish divergence I think it's called. ..

    Until they make spreadable gold, I don't think it will go much beyond 1000 usd american dollers.

    Yeah, just like in any other criminal activities - only you always stay in, even when converting tulipcoins into real money
