I don't think they ran a bunch of stops. I think that there was some serious buying. I checked the trading of some of the houses on that day. DS sold almost 700,000 near the top.I think that quite a few , including myself thought that gold was better than a 50/50 bet, but as usual it wasn't. Did you notice on Friday how they opened trading on gold for about 5 minutes, and knocked it down from 300 to 290, and were showing size offerings...I don't like to be paranoid about this stuff, but they never show the size of the bids or offerings, ever, but this particular day. It was like 10 contracts bid, 5000 contracts offered...

I Think Your Right Between the uncertainty and our governments new found love of not only printing but also spending huge amounts of money (Airline bail out, Accelerate farm spending, Consider increasing tax cut, and the costs associated with the terrorist initiative, it makes sense to keep them. I'm just not used to having anything for more than about a day so I was getting nervous. <gg>
