>> but if it does, don't expect most of the commodities you follow to be up, either (especially the base metals). <<

follow is different than being long. i'm not long the base metals either, even though i am bullish on them longer-term. how will i know when to buy if i don't start following them now?

Patron:

I am also long junior gold stocks and for exactly the same reason,.... a currency hedge.

A nice bit of icing is the massive gold short position. When the buck gets smacked (which I think is a given) and gold picks up some momentum, that short position could send it into orbit.

Best, Earlie
