Re Gold: So, are you waiting for Agora, Bonner, Weis etc. to turn bearish, before joining the bull crowd? Seems to me those folks are perma bulls so writing in a bullish vein is no surprise and "reading the players" is no help at all.

Some of the problem these days are baby boomers without a solid foundation of financial planning. A variety of reasons...divorce, health issues, children, lost jobs, on and on including stupidity of those who never planned anything more than their next trip to the adult toy store for boats, cars, etc and those keeping up with the Jones'...the lightbulb is going off and in their fear they plunge into investments and get slaughtered. It's always been the case but there are just more of them today.Everybody now expects 25-50% returns on their money and the more they make the more they let ride. They think that's normal...Ole Warren with his pencil and calulator and his single digit return thought...well you know what I mean....doesn't mean huge returns aren't out there...just means that after a certain gain one should ask themselves "Now what's the risk?" as the esculator climbs....
