Gold, both physical and miining stocks,is a very small market, easy to manipulate, and subject a number of funny effects. I would look at year or longer trends. JPY / USD is much bigger, and moves oddly before the end of Japan's fiscal year... The Dow is a small index which tends to be over priced. Since you are doing intermediate term, this may not matter too much. Big, profitable swings in that time frame. Might want to look at BKX bank stocks vs. gold Not sure I would be short USD past early June.
