**OT**

I was looking through the new Fortune 500 list and was stunned to see how low the market caps of General Motors and Ford are.

GM, #2 on the list with $186B in sales has a market cap of $17.9B. Ford, #4 on the list with sales of $163B has a market cap of $12.4B.

To me this is pretty scary, especially when the auto industry is coming off of a long boom, with sales still pretty close to all-time highs.

I agree.

I had a long look at the VIX vs Dow last night and it's consistent with a market top.

The point is that there's no earnings buzz to get the markets churning and move prices higher. Low volumes mean low excitement and are characteristic of a maturing bear.

Historically, gold does well in an ongoing bear. Will it this time? I think so.
