'Comment' being a posh word for 'talk'. Could perhaps have used pronouns of he/haw (as in being able to talk the hind legs off a donkey) 

Well it's been an incredible day.  I've been here almost the whole day trying to do other things as well as monitor and comment.  Looking good for the two who declared Up on Wednesday for the poll.....
Just 36 hours ago the consensus here was neutral for the close at the end of this week.  It's certainly been lively since then.  

I'm not hiding being female (my username gives it away) and I comment quite a lot. Although if I'd known our usernames were permanent and can't be edited, I probably would have had something more imaginative! It just seems to be a smaller audience of women in to PMs in general. Most are too busy washing up.
I was reluctant to comment when I joined. Now I don't shut up (mostly thanks to everyone being so nice to me). 
I'm also very happy to say I've not had any creepy come ons (touch wood). No one has a clue if I'm Jabba The Hutt or Margot Robbie.

Goodnight y'all!

Silver has always been the equivalent of buying an Alpha Romeo.

Meanwhile…
 

I’m still buying using Cost Price Averaging.  People here are still selling.

For me, it is:
- A discipline
- Obviously sane if you look at the macro-economic picture
- Collected by nice people
If the bottom two change then I might stop.

Shorts in incineration territory.  

I dread to think how insufferable you lot will be if gold breaks £2K by August @James32
I'd rather BTC went to $1 million or England won the World Cup 😂
Seriously though gold will smash £2K when the Fed cuts. If it's already above £2K when they start cutting, may God have mercy on our TSF GMT souls

Absolutely, so would I.  Remember what they did in December at the weekend in thin trading?  It was smashed up nearly 100 bucks in a couple of hours and wiped out whole loads of small traders who were short before tumbling back down again and wiping out the longs who had entered automatically while they were asleep after their buy orders were triggered.  That was a coordinated attack on the stops and limit orders.  And once it was off it became a self fulfilling cascade.  Right now, we know there are a lot of shorts, and good sense indicates that gold should fall with rate expectations indicating much later for any rate cut.  But it's not happenong and that is when lots of people get caught on the wrong side.  There will be many holding early shorts who think it's gone up for so long now that they should just hold their loss a tiny little bit longer and hope for an eventual downturn to escape.  That's when even bigger spikes happen.  If it does a big rise it'll fall hard again after that.  It always does.
