Thats just from a small low 13 dollar rise in gold price, and if this long awaited environment continues monday with more of the same, then "Expect the Unexpected here." [start.] "Short Term Rates are headed lower, long term rates are rising and headed much higher, the U.S. Fed is pumping up the monetary supply... Gold... to respond to an interest rate and economic environment that has historically produced a gold bull market." "Believe it or not, the Goldie stocks are headed much higher. Confirmation came on Friday. Gold has indeed bottomed. Let there be disbelief all the way up..." "... a market that is extremely difficult to time short term." "... as the economic fundamentals and interest rate environment remain Bullish for Gold, it will rise against all expectations." "Expect the Unexpected here. Listen to no newsletter writer or the Media. The "I think" for myself has always led to the Truth." "... some consolidation early next week ... Don't get alarmed..."

If the bond markets choose NOT to play along with Greenspan's last-ditch inflationary gambit, the New Era mythology, the US consumer, and the US equity markets are approaching a world of hurt.
