It is hard to keep a gold bug down. It seems to me the gold price lately is quite bullish and sees to be firming? This in spite of well advertised increases in interest rates throughout the world. It all seems so counter-intuitive. There are so many factors driving the POG, that any one of them could be responsible for the daily swings. Lately it has likely been the weak US dollar, tomorrow it may be interest rates, the week after, oil prices or international political problems. Sometimes, it may even be the mountain of debt that stirs gold. Ya never know. But one can always tell when the price is up, as the bugs are happily scurrying around and furiously posting good news on the internet threads. Happy to be a gold bug, although the top of my shell may be a little dented from time to time. Gotta watch for that mean African killer bug.
