So noted in the thread _big grin_

I haven't voted yet - too groggy to be sure what I want to vote -

However, this one is a tough one - IMHO, we're still pretty open to a downward move

You don't even want to know silver's price!

Sheila, I thought about it - but personally follow gold more carefully, and in all honesty, I'm so groggy the thought of trying to come up with proper ranges this morning was more than the little grey cells could handle _grin_ Plus at this point Silver seems to be pretty much parallel tracking gold.

I think we have a legit shot at making a run for $630 in the next few weeks. After that I see a consolidation. Range might be something like $475-$630.

First we attack Iran, and then its "To Da Moon"

[Curtman]

Are we going to have two of these polls? I thougn shiekyourbooty already runs this poll each week. I vote for my load up price $529.00 :thumpdown

[GREENSILVERHORN]

Hovering below $600, awaiting silver.

I wasn't aware shiekyourbooty was doing this regularly.

I was responding to Skyvike's suggestion that I do so in this thread -

Shiekyourbooty, if this is "your thing" I have no wish to infringe on your territory _big grin_

Will be quite glad for Sheikyourbooty, or anyone to run this poll - I just wanted to see it done, because I enjoyed the other one so much. _bigger grin_

Best regards

Booty does a weekly a monthly is OK I guess.

[Au_Ag]

I PM'd SheikUrBooty this - but not sure if he has PM turned on, may just be away from the PC

Hi -

Wasn't aware you were intending to do the polls regularly, pm'ing you due to post by Curtman

http://goldismoney.info/forums/showt...862#post184862 (http://goldismoney.info/forums/showthread.php?p=184862#post184862)

I responded later in thread with link to Skyvike's post. Only giving link to show why I did, _not_ to in any way demonstrate my "officialness". I really don't care, and am sure Skyvike was saying that tongue-in-cheek and sure he doesn't really care either _big grin_

I enjoy your posts, want to be sure not any infringement on your area _grin_

Glad for you to run _all_ polls if you like.

I do think we need weekly, monthly and maybe quarterly and annual forecasts. I believe that having to commit to the poll, and seeing others thinking on the subject in a related thread will help us make better purchasing decisions.

Also, assuming we get to where we're wanting to go - gonna be better if we are able to pick a top - and do well at picking a point to sell _really big grin_

Whatever you want to do, let me know-

Best regards

Ken

I am _very_ new here.

However, I have spent a certain amount of time on other forums/groups. If Sheikurbooty/anybody else, wishes to run/co-ordinate the polls that is fine with me. Sincerely, and not the slightest hard feelings_really big grin_

I do think that we have a tremendous amount of talent and experience here that can help us all become better at picking buying points, better at understanding the market swings. I believe that regular polls will help us focus that talent and our thinking.

As stated in my PM to sheikUrBottie that I copied here - I really do believe we will benefit as a group from not only weekly, but monthly and maybe more.

Various commenters/reviewers/writers can at times seem so -can't think of the right word here, maybe "self-righteous?" that I have trouble having faith in their forecasts.

I believe that the combined efforts of the forum in various polls will help us get a better grasp of the true markets.

[AMforPM]

They get harder all the time! If horrible geopolitical events develop in March... moon shot. If it is extra calm, the pushing down into correction works. I voted middle.. :confused:

[SilverNuts@Bolts]

End of March? All hell will break loose. Look for 800$ gold. Also, the next big war. WW-III :banghead: ?????

[Prometheus]

First we attack Iran, and then its "To Da Moon"

exactly... I put down 575-610, however if I certain America would be attacking by end of march vs. April I'd have voted higher.

Either way, gold will be up atleast alittle by end of march IMO.

[Elijah]

I'll be watching the stock market as an indicator. If it takes off by the end of March, first of April, Gold will stay stable or decline somewhat. The same with silver, except I think we'll see the most gains in silver as everyone can at least buy some. More people will catch on to this as world stability seems to worsen. I've watch the market for several years and used to be invested in stocks and bonds. If the market drops PM goes up. Of course, if we are in the "end times" as many think all these indicators may not be reliable!

[californiajeff]

I think Gold will by around 610 by then. Silver should be above 10 too.

From Jim Sinclair web site

Dear CIGAs

What morning “SOON” will you wake up and find out that gold is $30, $50 or $100 higher?

Will it be as simple as the impact of the opening of the Oil Bourse in Iran and the potential significant impact that would have on the US dollar?




Might it take an attack on Iran with the only effective weapon, deep penetrating nuclear bunker busters, against underground nuclear facilities?

Will it be a shut down of Saudi Arabian production? What if Nigerian, Bolivia and Venezuela oil production comes off line? How about a full civil war in Iraq?

Let us not forget about structural, long term, unresolved and totally ignored dollar problems. See the articles below “Jim on Monty’s Conclusions,” “Monty on Roseburg,” and “Rosenberg on Rosenberg.”

Will it be a blow up of the Federal budget deficit as a product of lower tax revenues?

Will it be one too many derivative explosions to cover up?

Or may the catalyst be one of the many other problems brewing currently?

Iran becomes “Economically Nuclear” in March 2006 when it opens the new energy trading bourse that would replace dollar based oil trading by euro currency based oil trading. Iran becomes “Nuclear

Fissionable” in the last quarter of 2006 when the bi-product of its light water plant, plutonium, reaches a stockpile large enough to be really threatening. Which nuclear event is your bet? Both will occur unless the world’s new #1 enemy is hit by nuclear deep-penetrating bunker busters immediately.

It is sad and terrifyingly ironic that the most effective way to prevent the Middle East from becoming nuclear is to nuke them.

There is an uneasy comparison being made by those that believe Nostradamus was an accurate predictor of coming events. One of his predictions can be interpreted as the war of all wars, and will start in the Middle East as the result of a nuclear incident.

Is the penchant of so-called investors attempting to catch the intermediate gold price and then selling into weakness because they think they missed it really wise? You give away your gold position and your positions in good gold shares time and time again. Then you chase strength and run from weakness. Reverse that process and win!

Gold is not going to work its way up to $610 -$682 and beyond like a nice little fellow. It will explode to these levels and that explosion will come in the face of all the cyclical analysts that are trumpeting the need for gold to rest before the big one. Don’t these people recognize that cyclical considerations are always relative to the market in order to be understood. They do not forecast anything. What they tell you is the inherent strength or weakness of a trend according to the action that market takes in light of what the cycle calls for. This goes for every cycle measurement emanating from the seer to mathematician.
