Looks like a win-win situation for you. Either you get your pull-back and can jump in, or you have a shot at winning the contest. If XAU runs straight to 60 (or 64????), then you should gain at least 20% more on your contest total. Might that be enough? << I am not convinced yet that this is the big one.... >> Agreed, which is why my shaky finger is on the trigger. I have some very old positions that I am hoping to close out at a profit. IF this is the big one, then there will be plenty of time for profits. How does that saying go? "The Internet bubble wasn't inflated in a day." Neither will the great gold bubble of 2001. We must, of course, plan for all contingencies. You remain the TA king and I am but a lowly follower still try to heal from past wounds. If I can stay in your shadow for a while longer, perhaps I will be made whole. Forgiveness and restoration are a beautiful thing. Best regards - HB << All: The following is an OT comment that just might save your life. It is too late for my buddy, but not yet too late for you. Please read it. Thanks. >> P.S. A co-worker and friend of mine met his Maker last Friday night in a car accident. I am regretting that I hadn't tried harder to introduce them before that. Unlike Paul, I cannot say that my hands are free of his blood. Life is but a vapor and any one of us could be thrust into eternity at any moment. The statistics are quite convincing: Ten out of Ten people die. I look forward to seeing my Lord face to face, but there are many, many people on the wide path to destruction and those of us who know The Way must do all we can to share it with those in darkness. My friend was the nicest guy that you would ever want to meet. He was a hard worker with an excellent work ethic and attitude. He was 18 and had his whole life in front of him. His only vice was a love for driving fast. Justin lost control and hit a tree in the center divider ... and it was over. I pray that this would be a solemn reminder to those of us who still have the breath of life. God is perfectly loving and incredibly merciful. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins so that we could spend eternity with Him. Eye has not seen, nor ear heard the wondrous things that await those who receive the free gift of salvation that cost God so much. But if we reject the gift, then we condemn ourselves to an eternity in Hell, which is the just penalty for our breaking of God's Holy Law, the Ten Commandments. It is appointed to a man once to die, and then judgment. Don't leave Earth without Jesus Christ and the forgiveness that He so freely offers.
