Paul. On gold, "That is an affirmative"<g>

IMHO been the toughest of all markets to time, for years. On top of normal market patterns and cross currents? The relatively small total cap of the PMs themselves plus the corresponding PM stocks make it easiest market for governments and CB intervention to disrupt what are usually good forecasting tools. Those guys are just as familiar with charts and TA as we are. As a result, they've shown real savvy in picking their times to hit the market for the greatest negative effect.

And doing that is one of the best ways to keep players out of the PMs = keeping the circulating pool of capital relatively small = continued strong impact for those intervention forays. A virtuous circle for the manipulators. But, for us, it makes the sector the toughest one to time.

OTOH, I've noticed you're pretty good at placing your protective stops. So doubt you'll give back much of your PM gains if there's a correction of any significance<g>
