And no surprise, stock is even a better buy today. I'll sticking with the conservative approach on the golds The argument can certainly be made for averaging into partial initial positions. And I've done that close to current prices. But IMO It's to early to be an aggressive buyer for a multi-week or month holding period. All I see in the energy and gold common stocks - UNTIL we get confirmation that a bottom is in - is a knife catching contest<g>. I'm happy with my current emphasis on NEM preferred vs till I see a confirmed low in my common favs. Doesn't mean you can't make money day trading or with ST scalping. But that's not my style.

bond enlightenment please if the economy "were" stronger, i think i could understand the 30 and 10 year bond quick movements down (up in yields) this week. is some oracle willing to step in and explain or speculate what is happening in the bond futures and why? if the japanese were cashing out, it would seem the yen should be stronger. if the japanese were cashing out and buying us stocks, we should have seen more s&p 500 strength. if these bonds are saying the economy is getting stronger, then the upturn will snap our heads off (it seems). could this quick move up in longer term yields indicate inflation. ok, that is what i have been able to postulate. anyone else care to dog bone this topic?
