>>... Ok. I think it will be "GUDD", as in Gold Up and Dollar Down.<< Jay. The essence of good comedy is........timing! Gold Drops $7.50 On Stronger Dollar futuresource.com Seriously though, I don't claim that this constitutes proof of anything. Just an amusing coincidence. Oh and for the record, in 2004: 1. Gold down. 2. Dollar flat to up. 3. US interest rates up slightly. 4. US unemployment down. (By 2006 or so, we will be facing a labor shortage in the US). 5. DOW in a trading range of 9,000 to 11,000 with a significant move above 11,000 in late 2004. 6. Nasdaq 2,100 by year-end 2003 and 2,500+ by year-end 2004.
