When and conclusively is the question. Gently rising PPO and low DMI on the HUI weekly are supportive to the view that such move would be sustained from here. Propelling higher values would obviously be a drop in the dollar below 92 and any further fall out in the general market from the Freddie Mac episode.....and certainly the eventually realization that as a nation we've been deluding ourselves thinking we were prosperous when we're increasingly of the debtor class. While likely a minor influence at this point, action currently in the CRB is not supportive. Match to the fuse, if not already lit, would be a reversal in the BONDS, whose rally seems increasingly artificial and dangerous. I'll admit to being less than a full-on bull in the miners and the metals, and one in the recent past less bullish than to this point seems justified by progress at least in some of the leaders...GSS particularly, which made a new high this week and which I do own.

Energy was reduced to 72% of its full allocation with more that half of that in Canroys, themselves reduced 1/3 from the peak hay days. So Tahoe, I'd say I'm more with you that ag'in ya.....And hope you're right that your "I told you sos" can be written in caps, though I'd hold off being quite so bold until the ficklness of this beast (the PM markets) clearly resolves itself on your side.
