over the past 5 years GDX is up around 50% even after getting hammered for the last several months. if gold really breaks out to new highs, i don't know how GDX would continue sputtering.

I still have one of those 100 oz silver bars - it's really a brick, similar size dimensions

funny I've heard of people painting them black then using them as a door stop - can have 100s of people come through the house and no one pay attention to them or even think of taking them because of their disguise LOL 

I used to have a lot of those 1 oz Pamps, and I've had a bunch of 10 ounce bars as well. The perth mint bars are nice as well. As far as the coins I like the gold buffalos but they come with more of a premium. The gold maples are really good price

I sold about 95% of my physical gold bars and coins back in late April - perfect timing!  I have not bought them back yet

Ha! I didn't know about that guy. Will definitely check it out.

Matt, maybe the pirates stay out of your neighborhood because the ISP sucks so bad?   

ha yep, and thank god I live in a good area where I don't have to worry about those porch pirates. 

that Mark Robber guy on Youtube funny when hey makes those glitter and stick bomb packages, and the porch pirate steel them and we get to listen 

one of them I saw a guy take the fake package - then go to his GF's house and have the audacity to tell her that he bought this for her - then they open it and get sprayed in glitter and fart smell etc LOL

HYG - could be an objective short if it climbs further toward the recently broken trendline. 

Costco shipping gold bars  - Porch pirates wet dream. UPS gonna ask for another raise....and armor. 

Energy stocks reversed .... following oil ....  getting tired a bit here short term IMHO ... looking for DRIP / ERY ....  

yes only 2 per customer. 

Costco now selling gold bars (online only). Not going to lie - I'm very interested.  But they sell out immediately so far and I haven't been able to get them. 2 max per member, so it doesn't make a huge dent in what would be an appropriate holding, but it's a start. 

I've never been long term bullish on GDX, you can't, only short term bullish when it sets up, it's a trading instrument only, does not uptrend for long periods of times in most cases and is why the daily KISS standard settings is not profitable on it. 

Gold I like it long term, based on the monthly chart this is some sort of if this pullback forms a higher low and is a cup and handle type of pattern

refer to daily buy and hold GDX stats - it's not like SPY or QQQ the indexes where you could hold them long term and be up over time - GDX park your money in that long term and make almost nothing - you catch it when it trends in those rare times and then get out

There are varying estimates for cost, but generally it seems like it's in the $1000 per month range, if paying out of pocket (not supported by insurance or medicare...yet). 

has your longer term outlook changed at all or still bullish?

Looks like the Swiss Alps 

some of these 1/2 day systems trigger on SPY, QQQ etc. again I'm not following them or trading them yet, just reporting

LOL - I need to ask Matt how much those Viagra pills cost these days    

GDX - Chart Link- smack down on that puppy and gold followed suit after. Otherwise bouncing some off the support lows.
