 I am surprised no one offered this one up. It has already jumped nearly 8% in 20 minutes since the announcement......

The problem with many of these "insider plays" is that they often tend to be with small caps that are thinly traded and therefore ripe for manipulation by insiders.  Pump and dump isn't a notional concept.....

Sorry I intended to respond to KALV not RIGL.

They just had a public offering of 4.6 Million shares it would seem insiders bought a good portion of that. Their earnings are out today?  Consensus seems to indicate they are going to beat estimates.  I am curious Matt; did you take a bite on this one?

I've lost count of the times that  I too believed that sentiment as a one time  died in the wool gold bug.  Logic (apparent)  and plain old common sense, not to mention my gut  continually lost  out to a  market can be an incredibly fickle and irrational mistress. Matt and Steve have done a great job forcing me in refocusing my trading habits to sift through the emotion and hyperbole and stick to the  system(s) and strategies that they have successfully used for years.

From bitter experience,  having witnessed this kind of behavior in the sector first hand, I humbly remind people again about the  trying to grab a hold of a falling knife.

I would be interested to see what percentage of the total trade volume is carried out by computers rather than human traders. I suspect the answer would shock many people. If someone told me 90% I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.......

Thank you. I missed that one.

I have to humbly disagree that this is not a trading site (for retail investors) or that there is no focus. Starting with their very informative and consistent News Letters, which culminate with their Weekend General Market and Commodities letters they manage quite nicely to cover both the overall market as well as focusing in on specific sectors as market conditions warrant. I was an active day trader from 1997-2001. I made a fair piece  of change, and lost almost as much.  If I had had the benefit of the information and insight that is offered by Break Point Trades today, I almost certainly would have retired a wealthy man. And that is no exaggeration. 

I am in fact retired now and focus primarily on precious metals.  To date, I have found no service offering better insight on this market than Matt and Steve. I have been with them for years and now focus primarily on swing trading.  As a result, I have made relatively small but consistent profits almost every year. Breakpoint uses COT as part of their analysis on a routine basis. They also consider outside forces on the market(s), again on a routine basis. To suggest that all they offer is "technical analysis"  simply isn't the case.  Are they infallible? No. But they make no such claims.

I get the impression you are still searching for "the system" to end all systems.  I don't believe there will ever be one "system" that can encompass all the variable in the markets and make money consistently.  Frankly, anyone that is touting they have such a system to sell is a liar.  If such a system where in the possession of an individual or institution, common sense and plain old fashioned greed tells us  it would never see the light of day.  But for those willing to take the time and do their daily due diligence, Breakpoint does a great job of providing a sold foundation to make money.   While they cannot possibly be expected to provide daily in depth coverage of every market, industry, equity and player on wall street. they do a fantastic job of highlighting potential money makers, up to and including specific recommendations. And if you like "systems" theirs has had a pretty good track record and it holds your hand pretty much from start to finish. And for the record:  what they charge a year considering what they offer, is a true bargain.......

Spoken with such certainty and conviction, truly I am impressed. Though I must say it bears noting that the media proclaimed for over a year that Donald Trump would never be President with the very same certainty and conviction. And for the record, the odds are not zero.  That possible outcome is a risk factor that any good trader knows would be absurd to ignore.  Disclaimer: I voted for Mr. Trump.

If the electoral college turns out to be a full blown cock up and the election is stolen by Clinton for what ever reason, the PM stocks will go through the roof. Thoughts?

If there was ever any doubts that gold prices are rigged consider that last week alone over 1000 tons of paper gold was sold. That number represents nearly half the world's annual production. And all the while demand for physical gold continues to outstrip supply. When the music stops, people will wake up to find a new world currency backed by gold. And all the West's gold reserves will have disappeared. And the same ruling elites that have been literally robbing the Western world blind will be found to have literally thousands of tons of gold sitting in their private vaults. Gold which suddenly is worth 5 times what they paid for it....

Gold should have seen a significant jump upward today, instead it went down. Once again in am pre-market starting around 8:30 a massive amount of paper was dumped into the market to crush gold prices before the market opened. How much paper gold are we talking about here? try about 70 TONS in the first 10 minutes! And between 8:30-9:30 am over 6.2 million ounces of paper was dumped. That is over 6 million ounces of paper backed by absolutely nothing. This is how you manipulate gold prices. This is how they have been doing it for years.

What is important to note here is despite all the manipulations by the big banks and the FED they have not been able to crush gold nor inflate the dollar. At this point physical gold is king and the dollar is on life support. Just my 2 cents.

8:40AMover 10,000 gold contracts dumped on the market in less than 1 minute to precipitate today's metals rout. The fact that once again insiders had to resort to such obvious brute force manipulations suggests that they are very concerned that Friday will see a huge rise in the metals. Otherwise, they would have been content to let the FED carry out the hatchet job on Friday. On the other hand, with this foreknowledge in hand, one could make a pile of money shorting the entire sector and then buy back on the dip.

I guess the charts and the commercials are still holding their breath........

Consider that if "rights" are bestowed and taxes levied on these "employees" then the corporation could logically demand each "electronic person" would be entitled to vote. Naturally this would be in the form of a proxy held by the corporation...........
