Congratulations FF Team. You are all a testament of how smart work coupled with passion and determination can overcome even the most stubborn obstacles. It's been a fun 6 years for me on FF and I envision many more years of brilliant innovation and ...

I think it is likely a combination of all 3 plus as boon stated, the lower grade of ore available today, which means that the actual raw production costs of a lean mining operation (without the high tech machinery and bloated executive ...

Thanks for your response. The part about it becoming more expensive to process due to lower grade ore makes sense, but I still believe there is a huge motive to deceive the public regarding the extraction/processing costs, and where there is a ...

Seems quite obvious, doesn't it?

Okay, please educate me then. If gold was trading at $400 per ounce 10 years ago (which it was), if today's mining companies are really bleeding cash while gold is trading at 3 times the price, what does that mean to you? As far as I'm concerned ...

Whenever I read one of your posts in this thread, I am reminded of a saying that has proven over and over to be so true. Here it is... <b>"People too weak to follow their own dreams will always find a way to discourage yours"</b> I'm not going to ...

Don't be a pig. Save some for me

Precisely... and I look for major trend. Even if I am wrong in my entry (too early), the trend will save me.

fact is that all systems work no matter the theory on which they are based. What fails is the trader and his/her mindset. Period. So, you guys (gals?) can argue what is and isn't bullshit till the moon turns green and it won't change a thing. If you ...

Good luck. I haven't been able to find that anywhere outside a ridiculously priced paid service. However, we should probably not be too concerned about the minute by minutes moves. A monthly snapshot should suffice. I particularly see this chart of ...

One thing I can tell you about Greece, Italy and Spain is that half of the unemployed actually have a better income than the fully employed because they are collecting unemployment benefits as well as working off the books. The labour market in ...

Nah. I'm no fan of anything but the welfare of my family. That last bit is sound advice no matter what one believes.

Okay guys... Look at it this way. Does anyone here think that the world is going to invest in USA industries more than in half beaten economies with huge potential? I submit to you that if you do believe that, then I think you may be lacking some ...

Do you all think I am nuts if I say that I can see how there is a significant potential for the Euro to break above the 2008 highs by late 2014 / early 2015? It's okay if you do. Everyone thought I was nuts when I was calling for 1.16 by late 2010 ...

Hi Trout. I'm no gloom n doomer and I do believe the USD is going to recover on a trade weighted index level, but I'm having a hard time seeing any sustained USD outperformance of European currencies unless we hit a bad patch sending the market into ...

I'm gonna go out on a limb and do some of my own predicting for Euro and Cable. Euro: Next stop between now and the first week of 2014 will be 1.3500/50 area with a possible extension to 1.3280/3300. After that, hello 1.4x Cable: Within the same ...

Yeah I'm sure we'll see a nice surge in USD, but how long do you think it's gonna last? From what I can see on my charts, we're most likely on the precipice of a full risk-on environment. If I were a betting man, I'd be selling the USD in Q1 2014, ...

Thanks for that post SD. Well written. In fact it is quite reasonable to assume that what the Fed has "printed" so far has only gone just far enough to replace the capital that was lost in the financial crises. Therefore, nothing has really been ...
