<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 941054, member: 4381&quot;]Greetings from Kensington.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe you&#039;ve misunderstood the reasons why Doug and Peter rejected the bullion ticker.&nbsp; The forum had discussed, and much of it privately, the issue of bullion specific investors in cointalk for many years.&nbsp; The section originally didn&#039;t exist, but the need to create it was driven by the overall interference of bullion COIN speculation on the US Coins section and it left the administrators with 2 choices.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One was to eliminate Bullion Coin speculation from Cointalk, which Peter clearly didn&#039;t care to do.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The other was to carve out a new section for it, which Peter opted to do.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I can not speak for either Peter or Doug, but from how this evolved it seems fairly clear that the intention of creating this section was not to completely unleash speculatory forces and bullion sales people on the forum, but to provide an ample playground without turning the rest of the forum upside down.</p><p><br /></p><p>The result of that, however, is that the section has been treated somewhat as an black sheep of forums to the moderators.&nbsp; But my original posting still is valid and it was exactly what Doug had told you when you suggested the ticker.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure anyone who seriously invests in the spot market has a bloomberg box or a browser open to real time trading information.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cointalk is about COINS, not a speculation on investments of raw gold and silver.&nbsp; Nor is it an investment branch and trading floor.&nbsp; Your using quite a few resources in order to post every few minutes the spot price on Gold, which is readily available from for profit organizations designed for bullion trading.&nbsp; And then there is the email flooding that happens every time this thread is posted to, which then echos out to the internet, causing untold numbers of bounce backs which chews up more of Peter&#039;s resources.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Its not needed, and probably defies the spirit of the forum segment.&nbsp; Perhaps Peter made an error when he named this section &quot;Bullion Investing&quot; and that it should be renamed &quot;Bullion Coin Investing&quot; in order to make it more clear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
