Either Gold or NDX puts (or combination of both if you're really daring.. :0) I may be wrong but I think we're becoming due for a rally over the next month or so. But I think we're a week or two away from that. The fund managers need to "juice" up their returns for the year before closing their fiscal year books. Hawk

I believe the gold market took a sell signal last week and we are looking at some medium term lows in the offing. Time to go (stay) cash for a while perhaps. Its tricky of course. The world situation may play havoc with the cycles....but what's new. For the novice to the metals market a mutual fund may be a better bet than investing in individual companies or in gold itself. There are some very pretty performers out there. USAA has a nice one, Prudent bear's is ok. I'm considering moving into a fund rather than a set of gold stocks because I don't feel I have the time. Past performance (18-24 months) speaks well for some of these teams. fwiw that's my take on the current situation svanlar.
