fuddle,

I must be losing it, as I recall reading at least three articles (one with Prechter himself) where he was calling for gold at $250 and massive depression like deflation. I do not recall these articles mentioning anything about him having a long-term bullish perspective on gold. I do recall that he has moved his range on POG several times.

I do not mean any disrespect to Prechter. Let me ask this, how long has he been bearish? A long, long time I think. I think you would have missed a lot of the bull in the past few years if you were to follow his calls.

As for EW, I'm learning on this thread. I look at every chart that is posted here, and try to make some sense of it, always with an eye to what is "next".

Gold stocks are certainly a concern at this juncture. Dollar intervention is probably just around the corner, but how much impact will it have? I wonder if the stories about the Chinese lining up outside the bank to trade in their dollars are true. If they are, then dollar intervention is going to be a very unsuccessful and short-lived effort. And, there are so many dollars that maybe a few countries that have a lot of dollars will welcome the bounce in the dollar and sell hard.

It is going to be a very interesting week. Wish us all the best of luck.

Thx
TH

WHT/GG deal is first one in a long time that seems like a legitimate deal. This could be what we need to get the mining stocks going again.

Consolidation in mining sector means the mines are getting stronger and that the strategy to eliminate hedges is working imo. It also indicates the mining companies see the prices going higher
