it seems a lot longer than 5 months ago bezos was time's dude of the year ! KAPLAN'S CORNER: QUESTION (from Mr. Scott Griff): What if anything would get you to be bearish on gold? ANSWER: If all of the following occurred simultaneously, I would become very bearish on gold: 1) Louis Rukeyser proclaiming that gold was the best of all possible investments; 2) William O'Neill of Merrill Lynch and Peter Ward of Lehman Brothers agreeing with him; 3) very high call buying and almost no put buying on gold and gold mining shares; 4) a cover story extolling the virtues of owning gold in Time magazine (remember Jeff Bezos and Amazon.com in December 1999); 5) the XAU staying flat as gold rallied strongly on consecutive trading days; 6) the CRB index of commodities topping out at a multi-year high after a major rally; 7) the U.S. dollar bottoming after a collapse; 8) traders' commitments showing commercials heavily net short COMEX gold futures, and speculators almost unanimously on the long side.
