re: "Slider, what your take on $POG lately? consolidation after a breakout, or a distributive intermediate top that should be sold over the next few weeks?"
I'll have a lengthy piece on Gold and PM stocks done, and up on my blog by Monday night. I've got a lot going on right now, but here's the a couple of quick thoughts...
All cycles generally pass through three phases.
The first is driven by the fundamentals.
The move usually begins from an deeply over-sold base, where the sector is hated, and both the underlying commodity and the stocks are significantly undervalued on a historic basis.
The second phase is driven by the technical's.
Values have not quite reached speculative irrationality, but they are no longer deep value plays. Sentiment remains strong, the investor base expands, and the story is well known. The trend is still bullish enough to attract new technical traders, and to keep old ones in.
The third phase is driven by sentiment and speculation, otherwise known as extraordinary popular delusions and the madness of crowds.
Speculation reigns supreme, the story dominates the headlines, and opines of how "this time it's different" abound. And extremely over-bought technical's continue to get more so, as charts go parabolic.
On a long term, big picture basis, I'd say the gold and silver sector is clearly in the second phase. That doesn't however, guarantee that a speculative blow off top remains, or is guaranteed.
But right here, right now, with the old resistance of $1,000 gold, potentially setting up to become new support, how could anyone possibly give up on ole' yeller now, without $1,000 gold being taken out?
Take something off the table here?
Sure, but a complete exit?
Why?!?!
Before $1,000 gold is taken out?
You have to give the old resistance level of $1,000 gold a chance to become new support... that's trading 101, and a complete no-brainer.

And how 'bout a big picture snapshot of ole yeller?
It's been quite a ride since the leap from black to yellow gold hasn't it?

I'll get some HUI and individual gold stock charts, along with some commentary, up by Monday night.
Have you seen the new film...
"Fall Of The Republic: The Presidency Of Barack H. Obama"
I've got it uploaded to my blog here:
"Why Democracies Fail, The Fatal Sequence, And “The Fall Of The Republic”
Intro:
"Fall Of The Republic documents how an offshore corporate cartel is bankrupting the US economy by design. Leaders are now declaring that world government has arrived and that the dollar will be replaced by a new global currency.
President Obama has brazenly violated Article 1 Section 9 of the US Constitution by seating himself at the head of United Nations' Security Council, thus becoming the first US president to chair the world body.
A scientific dictatorship is in its final stages of completion, and laws protecting basic human rights are being abolished worldwide; an iron curtain of high-tech tyranny is now descending over the planet.
A worldwide regime controlled by an unelected corporate elite is implementing a planetary carbon tax system that will dominate all human activity and establish a system of neo-feudal slavery.
The image makers have carefully packaged Obama as the world's savior; he is the Trojan Horse manufactured to pacify the people just long enough for the globalists to complete their master plan.
This film reveals the architecture of the New World Order and what the power elite have in store for humanity. More importantly it communicates how We The People can retake control of our government, turn the criminal tide and bring the tyrants to justice."
The film is well done. Watch it tonight and pass it along.
I'd highly recommend buying an original DVD for your library and you can do so here:

And remember, you can make copies and freely distribute DVD's.
