    Would you really?

    There's a possibility you might have action, but I suspect you're blowing smoke, as you can position yourself much better simply shorting the current price, rather than making this index wager, or SWAP as you call it.

    It would be easy arbitrage for me and a sweat for you.

    And lol @ you calling out hustler tactics when you make a call of $500, then offer a $1000 benchmark. Call me what you will, but this and previous discussions expose yourself for exactly what you are.

    Gold is currently priced at around $1200 yeah? Why would you be so silly to do a SWAP with a $550 benchmark. You are so full of shit. Go ahead and draft a contract at $550 and find an escrow source. You'll get as much action as you can handle.

    ah, priceless, the small player in vice games making those kind of calls

    You can't start a SWAP with a value that is different from a MV of 0, it's neutral for both parties that enter into a SWAP deal. There is no cash exchanged, the Market Value of the SWAP is 0. If I start the SWAP with a "strike" of 500, I am already in the red and the burden of risk remains with me from the start.

    as usual, all you know is petty games and trying to hustle players on the table with your unrealistic conditions.

    The Strike will be the market price of Gold at the time the contract is originated.

    Glad to see Butterfly and Socal discussing the value of something.
    Just buy it and don't worry about the price. Just take care crossing rivers.

    No shit it's a losing prop for you. You're the one that called $500 in a few months (but of course are not willing to put your money down).

    You think these 'financial instruments' you claim such authority on are so complex? Don't flatter yourself. Nice wriggle anyway, make a huge call then be totally unwilling to back it up.

    Of course the burden of risk is with you if you are willing to put your money where your mouth is calling gold to be cut in more than half in the next few months.

    And you make no sense anyway, you are willing to go with a $1K bench? does this still not put you behind from the start? What a tangled web you have weaved assuming everyone is so stupid. This is just like the light saber app prop bet you welched out of.

    And don't kid yourself by thinking that any of these highly complex derivatives only your are smart enough to understand, are anything but gambling.

    Say what you want about poker players but it was not us that brought down the entire US financial system with toxic mortgage bundles and and other such derivatives that prey on the weak.

    my little schizo friend, I understand you hear voices in your head, but really nobody is going after you.

    I made a call that Gold could reach 500 in a few months because it's on a losing trend, and in your typical hustler and petty criminal fashion, you need to transform this into some kind of bets with asymmetric payoffs, basically shifting the burden of risk on your betting "mark". How typical of your mindset.

    next, nobody said those financial instruments were difficult to understand, if you can understand a SWAP with my simple explanation above, then even a monkey can understand it. So again, stop making silly assumptions.

    as for poker players, you would find a lot of them are working in the financial industry, in particular a lot of high profile Hedge Fund managers are into hard core poker playing games, so that could explain why we went on the verge of collapse with all those poker risk takers who were too happy to shift the burden of risks on everyone else except themselves, like you just did above with your bet proposition.

    Back to you, bitch.

    So it was poker players that brought down Wall Street

    Who's the one with voices in their head now.

    Go ahead and draft a contract for a SWAP with a $1K bench and terms then, and find an escrow source (usually we don't need escrow for proposition betting in the petty criminal world people still trust each other).

    Calling gold at $500 in a few months is so lol, because it's on a downward trend

    Then when called on this, you accuse petty hustling.

    I doubt you'll do it even at a bench double your prediction. You really have no clue about the real world. All you do is beat your chest. You're not even a real investor, just a corporate wage slave.

    Your bluff has been called.

    You sure have called his bluff - I would also take the bet that gold will not hit $1k in the next 6 months.
    Come on butters how much do you have to play with?

    He won't play, he'll find a way to wriggle out of it. He's really not that stupid, probably just drunk when making the silly $500 call, then trying to save face with a SWAP offer at $1000. Been in Thailand too long he has.

    Queue Butters come in and find a way out of his bad deal he proposed by calling me a thief. He loves to twist things. Calls $500 in a few months, proclaims himself a shrewd investor, refuses my action and accuses me of trying to hustle him of course you;re going to get asymmetric pay offs when you make bad calls like this.

    As if that's not enough, he claims the GFC was due to poker players hustling in the manner I have done (calling out so called experts on their absurd calls). Think he's gone a bit loopy.

    He also twists what he would himself term a vice wager into some financial term like a SWAP. It's nothing more than an index / spread bet on the price of gold. Exactly the same as you do on football or cricket matches. The very sort of thing he detests. What a piece of work eh.

    I doubt this guy has ever even put down a cent of his own money.

    I am drafting the agreement, should we make it a SWAP or simply a Forward contract for 6 months ?

    That's the price of a futures contract. Not the price of cold hard shiny gold. But the fact that you can get real physical gold for the price of a digital gabling chip in cyber space is an opportunity that mankind might never get again.

    This is what is so funny about the gold thread. Fucking clowns that come here and bash gold but you ask them what they would invest money in and they are like a deer in the headlights

    You want to invest in monthly nominal gain generators that get taxed every month, which then you have to re-invest the proceeds every month. Proceeds of which compete with others nominal gain generators and proceeds that dilute yours and everyone's chips of nominal gain generators as time goes on . While the big money centres is New York and London skim their share off the top , right in front if your eyes.

    You are a victim. The corporatist bankers and government have you right where they want you. Break out of it.
