I think it’s typical Wall Street myopia. Fund managers are graded quarterly. If no BIG earnings showing up Q1 (Lisa said sequential decline), they may refrain from buying and wait until 2H.

What if "The BIG one" just turns out to be a bunch of shitty -1% days in a row together?

It's BIG alright.

YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW AND YOU'RE NOT SO BIG...

>It’s very bad, I have colleagues who have lost over a million dollars in product over the past year.
You're doing it wrong.
Drug dealers have the same problem, yet they have managed to solve it, because they have a different model. Their problem is one of logistics. How to get drugs from A to Z and safely, without it getting stolen and/or intercepted. Gold delivery is the same problem. Drug dealers do not sell on consignment unless the counter party is trusted and/or has collateral of some sort. Have you ever heard of retailer stealing his own goods? Of course not. Because he owns them in the first place and bears the entire loss.
You gotta set up the incentives so that the delivery driver takes a BIG HIT if the gold is loss - the same mechanism would have to apply to every step in the chain. This FORCES everyone to be honest, and to ensure the gold is not stolen (as opposed to nobody giving the damn if the gold is stolen - apart from the insurer - and I suspect the insurer doesn't give the damn either, because he ain't gonna be paying out on the policy).

HOLY FUCK WHICH BIG BOY BOUGHT IN DAMN

China is a BIG buyer. They know the game and they know how to hit the CME and the LBMA.

This is a solid point. Dis made the incredibly stupid decision to make themselves overtly political. When things according to polls couldn’t be more split.
That being said, they’ve taken their licks and I’ve noticed they’ve been more quiet, removing content from Disney+ that pokes at that bear. 
There’s real potential if they get their act together. Marvel, Star Wars, frozen, so many good value properties. The question is how long will it take to wash that political stain away? 
Personally, I think cautious buy. Not buy a lot, but include it in the purchases. It has potential, but they messed up BIG. 

to be fair in how clean the US Operation seems to go down, it is a BIG Display of Power and US Superiority ngl. European here too btw. US Dollar not in a free fall after all

TOO BIG TO TACO

He was expecting BIG NEWS this Friday. May be he snapped after nothing happened (as usual)?
Or actual BIG NEWS, which came on following day were way to apocalyptic for his liking?

OUR BURRY, WHO ART IN VALUE INVESTING, HALLOWED BE THY SHORTS. THY CRASH COME, THY BEAR MARKET BE DONE, ON WALL STREET AS IT IS IN BIG SHORT. GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY PUT OPTIONS, AND FORGIVE US OUR BULLISHNESS, AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO BULL AGAINST US. AND LEAD US NOT INTO BUBBLES, BUT DELIVER US FROM FOMO. FOR THINE IS THE HEDGE, THE POWER, AND THE PROFIT, FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN.

ahhh yes. A tech stock 2 weeks before earnings. Those earnings have BIG expections! Those expectations are built into the pirce. If anything about tech stocks the last month has taught me, its that this is gonna go well for MU.

THEN WHY DO I SEE A BIG GREEN DILDO

As a 10+ year reader of ZH (one of my main sites), I hate to say it - but I'm sick to death of seeing them participate in the silver smash down day propaganda shit fests.
Every big smash down day, it's the same thing. Literally the same thing over and over - they have ONE trick. And they do it so often now, it seems like more than once every two weeks.
Today, the headline is, "Silver Mania Just Found Sellers."
**Like the many ZH psy-op silver articles before it, the rules are:**
1. the article will show up within minutes of the smash
2. the article will not mention manipulation, and give you a different reason for the smash (fed, war, profit taking, whatever)
3. The article will not mention (or downplay) how impressive silver's last 12 months have been
4. The article will not mention that the BIG FUCKING DRAMATIC smash (in all cases but one) just takes the price back 1-5 days
5. The article will imply that this smash is a big deal - silver's rise has probably ended
6. The article will tell you that silver should not be invested in by anyone - too crazy, too stupid, too scary
7. The article will imply that silver price is likely headed down - maybe way down
8. The article will not mention anything about a possible global shortage
9. The article might throw technical mumbo jumbo at you

That's about it. Today's article mad me so angry, after all these years, I signed up to the site just so I could post in the comments thread. Of course they are blocking all my comments.
I'm just going to say it. **HEY, DURDEN. FUCK YOU AND EVERYONE YOU WORK WITH.** Your site is hand in hand with evil, trying to steal the best investment from all us poor sods of the world.
Well, guess what? You ain't getting it, bitch. We're not fucking selling. Eat shit.

Same. I have used their surgebot and it has helped BIG TIMEEEE. I was with their propbot algorithm before and it was just a bit too slow for me and then they cam out with the surgebot and it has been much better since then
