cool.

A correction here seems like consensus to me -- I'm not talking SI, because SI is a weird microcosm of sorts -- I'm talking about about the larger financial community who doesn't believe there's any bull market in gold at all. They are itching to say "I told you so" -- but they are saying the same thing that slider and some other traders on SI are saying.

Right now, I've got my "reasonable doubts" that they are correct. If I have to switch, slider is right to the extent that it will have costed me to wait and find out.

Opinions are like ... well, you know that saw.

I had puts in the first decline last year, but got caught unawares for the 2nd -- didn't kill me. Some are great at trading and he may be -- when someone gets so noisy about it, I have my doubts, but I know I am not great at weaving in and out.

Slider appears to think anyone that has a different style or holding period is a fool and that they should worship him. Sorry. He should just enjoy his profits -- I'm not going to spend all night reading about them and telling him he is great <ng>

Right now his view aligns with the consensus in the larger financial arena ... I remain doubtful. Good luck in your trading or investing or speculating.

Little Joe:

"if you are holding gold or gold stocks, it might not be a bad idea to lighten up."

Go ahead, sell YOUR bullion holdings. For some of us any appreciation is just a bonus.
