The paper market, which still sets the spot price, dwarfs the physical market.

The advertisements for physical have been running at a breakneck pace, in several different venues for well over a year now. I conclude their impact had nothing to do with the runup in spot and nothing to do with this correction. Untill (or unless) the paper tiger is broken, which is basically calling an implosion of the western world's banking system, whose tentacles now reach everywhere, the paper players will continue to run the show, albeit at higher prices, as they will look to make their job easier.

From what I have seen , the majority are for fake or plated coins. Most of the others are for 1/10 oz or so coins at highly inflated prices.

I sort of feel bad also for the people that do not know that buy in to the adds that run on t.v for plated coins,
and get taken because they did not know how to do their homework.

This may not relate to your post but I feel most that run these adds are shysters out to make a buck.

Parts is parts.

With a year or more running time, as LG so puuuuts forth in his grand designs...

I'm just playing an anti-advocate for entertainment enlightenment purposes....

But are we starting to look like muffin hoarders here...? :-X

If you knew what I was doing for employment now, you would run back into the closet.

I was trying to live off the profits from my hoard for a while, but that only lasted a week or two... ;D

Well, at least we all share an affinity for the finer things in life, not unlike our semite brothers & sisters.

If you notice a lot of ads on web pages it is most likely because your cookies give you away as a gold bug. Web ads are catered to each user based on what they've searched on or visited in the past.

I had a really eye-opening experience yesterday at the local clinic. I was in the waiting room, waiting my turn to see a doctor for a sick note for work. There was about 25 folks waiting, from all walks of life, mostly the lower end of the economic scale.

A TV was on with the CNN news. Every commercial break there was a commercial to buy gold. When those commercials were playing, everyone in that waiting room had their eyes glued to the screen.

One commercial was really pushing gold as a popularity contest, to get on the gold bus or get left behind. The commercial had a guy interviewing normal people asking them if they owned gold. Some folks said they did, others said cops, lawyers, etc owned gold. One person said his Uncle owns gold and is a smart man. One young guy however, responded by saying in a rather jealous tone that gold is for rich people, almost as if he was shaming gold ownership out of jealousy.

That commercial really played up owning gold as a "cool" thing, and everyone there was watching that commercial.

Pretty eye opening commercial. Makes me wonder if buying gold could be as popular as owning a home, the way the masses rushed into home ownership driving up the bubble.

in NYC the streets are littered buy gold ads, a buy gold place is on every block. They pay something like 50% of melt... I avoid them like plague, I never even found out exactly what they pay. I know places which pay 98% of melt. Every day on 47th st in NYC these refineries have lines of couriers with freezer bags full of scrap. I once saw a dude who dumped almost a bucket of 14k on the scale.

And the internet bubble. All bubbles end this way, and I suspect gold will be no different. Gold may be the greatest asset in the world, but once everybody that is going to buy in has already done so, only sellers remain and the bubble bursts.

What is to be determined is the bubble price and the stable post-bubble price range. Last time around, the spot price went $850 to $500 to $700 to $300 over a span of 30 months. Then it remained range-bound from $300 to $500 for the next 16 years.
