sites
Hi Allan,
First the $440 /ounce. That came about due to
some guessing on the other Channel where I predicted $450 before the
Presidential election. That was done some time ago.
So, I didn't want the same for this site and
dropped $10. Hopefully, I would get one right, I thought.
However, with the sudden speed of gold price
increases, I told Sharetrader today that my prediction was cancelled. So,
I am expecting higher prices.
As to differences on gold sites, some are updated
quickly, others perhaps not. Then you will have the London fix and the NY
prices later on. There could be other reasons, I don't know.
It really doesn't worry me as I have gold
shares and don't hold physical gold. My gold shares have done well
today.
HotCopper has been my main "Base" for some
time and I like it there. A very fast pace there, a lot of posters.
As usual, I found a niche there and I gave
reports on some 15 Bios. I prefer big sites as there are people
you haven't met before and there are always
"kindred spirits".
Now I started a site which comments on some
10 gold stocks (I did prepare reports for them). There are more to come;
most of these can be found on Sharetrader as well as I owe them
and keep them informed.
Meanwhile I still contribute to the Bios on HC
and am a prominent commentator on some of
these stocks.
So, I am a very busy man indeed.
Suggest you visit HC sometime, a strange
setup till one gets used to it.
HC is well known for its BIO, gold, oil and
mining posts. Perhaps they take more risks there? Do Traders make a quick
dollar or go broke?
Cheers,
Gerry
