Hulbert's measure of gold advisors showed that they were recently as bearish as they were at the ultimate low in late 2000. also, put/call open interest ratios on gold stocks have recently risen...institutions have been buying the latest down leg and the options configuration on the gold futures contract is remarkably bullish compared to its history. the most important fundamental driver of gold stocks, the yield curve, is now flat as a pancake - which means the path of least resistance for it is from now on a widening.
