<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 835452, member: 18157&quot;]I appreciate the kind words! :high5:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Back in September 2009, I made an <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t44495-20/#post686257" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t44495-20/#post686257">Anna Harrision final Unc prediction </a>on one of <b>Elaine&#039;s</b> threads...it was for a final mintage of 3600-3800. We may just make the low end of that prediction. I think I made a Proof and Unc prediction somewhere, but I can&#039;t find it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>New prediction...(goes along with <b>Elaine&#039;s</b> predictions, but gives some &quot;reasons why&quot;)...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some have predicted that falling gold prices will cause sales to increase. That might be true if they are just short pull backs and prices rebound. However, if we see a sustained downtrend in PM prices, folks might not want to buy until prices stabilize (no sense trying to catch a falling knife!).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you look at gold charts for the years of mid-term elections, nearly all of them show a rather steady downtrend in prices beginning 2-6 months prior to the election. 2002 was an exception...but it moved sideways and PM prices were at an all-time low.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since we&#039;re at all time highs for PM prices, we&#039;re printing money like nobody&#039;s business, and the GOP will likely pick up Congressional seats this Fall, it&#039;s &quot;likely&quot; (not for sure, but likely) we may see a gentle, sustained decline in PM prices beginning in late Summer, early Fall.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My &quot;theory&quot; is that the markets suspect interest rates are held low to create the &quot;illusion&quot; of a good economy going into elections (regardless of who&#039;s in power). The markets will &quot;anticipate&quot; a corrective rise in interest rates (stronger dollar, weaker PM prices) after the election.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know there are many folks out there that disagree with what I just said and they may be right. Hey! if I was right all the time, I would be on a yacht somewhere instead on CT! :goof:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m just saying...the &quot;probability&quot; (imho) is for the markets to anticipate higher interest rates (stronger dollar) in the second have of this year. If that happens, <b>what happens to First Spouse sales?</b> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think that if PM prices have a slow, steady decline heading into November...FS sales will become stagnant...with most of the available money going towards the Buchanan and Lincoln coins. This should bode well for the coins <b>Elaine predicts will be the true KEYs of the series. :hail:</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
