trotsky (goose@gold and dollar) ID#248269: Copyright © 2002 trotsky/Kitco Inc. All rights reserved what you call an'ephemeral link' has been a reality since 1971. there has only been a single instance in which the inverse gold/dollar correlation has for a short time been severed,and that was in the final blow-off rally of the 70's gold mania. that could well happen again, a few years hence. until then, investors will continue to have to contend with realities as opposed to undocumented beliefs.

All rights reserved the explanation for weak pm stock prices in the face of strong metals prices is this ratio: stockcharts.com[m,a]daclyyay[pb50!b200][vc60][iUb14!La12,26,9]&pref=G unless it increases, the sector won't come off the mat. in fact, if it fails to increase and PoG continues to turn down, things could take a turn for the worse. the good news is that it looks pretty oversold and ripe for a reversal. but that's a sine qua non condition.
