Watching those precious metals also. Trying to figure out a medium to long term strategy. On one side, the longwavers fo which we are at the end on the cycle (bottoming 2014 + or 2 ans), a depression, characterized by a loss of values in both tangible assets (homes, gold,...) and non-tangible (equities,...). On the other hand, Roger Cass, "the last optimist" expecting a sideways action of some years (2003-2005). In-between, the FED. And the continuous rise of the Dollar Index (higher lows) since Oct 1998, even with fiat-presses money and lowered interest rates. My current bias is down for the USD but also down for gold. (Back to the lows of $250). But not betting any chip on this, "don't fight the Fed": current strenghgt of the Dollar is against all my class books.
