Not sure where the bottom is here</blockquote>
Total whackage on gold right now. Haven't heard much from Panda lately. First it is the dollar, now it is gold. It's like double dipping in the ugly pool.</blockquote>
When Panda gives up and sells, then we are at the bottom.</blockquote>
Are you kidding me Irvine Renter??.. I am loading it up on Gold right now. I am practically completely out of the U.S. Paper Trash. It sure does feel like buying a nice SFR in Newport Coast for only $500,000. The U.S. paper trash will Crash.</blockquote>
I just hope you are not doing this with a large percentage of your life's savings...
In the long term, you may be right (although I doubt it,) but the painful drawdown you will experience on the way to being right is something I won't envy.
BTW, if you do give up, please let us know. I will buy some gold then

Panda has been touting DGP (the double long gold ETF), so he has been loading up on gold, just loading up the losses.

He has also been bullish on China and FXI in particular.

Then he was also bullish on India and FNI.

Of course we can't forget how he was bearish on the dollar. Note: This chart should be down if you are bearish on the dollar.

Since Panda has been bearish on the dollar ever since he has joined IHB, then lets take a look at the 6 month chart on the DXY shall we...

But, sadly panda invested in a bunch of foreign currencies that are now worth a lot less, and exchanging them for dollars will only make his gold purchases more expensive. I have said to Panda to not bet against the dollar on several occasions. Irvinerenter also supported my opinion, and even thought that the dollar may have hit bottom. I mean... come on... the guy knows a bottom when he sees one.
Panda will just say that I like picking on him, but that isn't totally true. I like picking on him, but just like housing, I want to save IHBers from losing a sh*tload of money. No joke, I don't want people to make stupid mistakes, and I don't care if it is housing or the stock market, there are plenty of fools out there, no need for you to be one of them. In fact, if you do the opposite of Panda you are more likely to make money. I bought puts (a bet that it will go down) on FXI when he was all excited about it, and I made a 50% plus profit. Also, look at morekaos, he is killing it right now shorting gold. You all should have been picking up UUP, I know I wish I had. Honestly... I dunno what is worse, Panda's investment picks or Jim Cramer's? At least Cramer gets a few right.
So Panda, please keep posting your picks, IHB needs to know what to do, er the opposite of what to do.</blockquote>
As I mentioned, the charts are no lie!
