An interesting tidbit rom Richard Russell

As subscribers know, I have a special interest in gold. Recently, I posted a series of
year-end gold prices. Since the year 2000 gold has closed higher on the last day of
December than the prior year's close. To refresh your memory, I'm posting the list
again below. Note that 2007 closed at 838.00. Yesterday, spot gold closed at
(KITCO numbers) bid 839.90, asked 840.70. Gold must close above 838.00 to
continue the bullish series. Can it do it? There are large interests that would love to
see the bullish series in gold broken. This is their chance to do it. Gold is at a spectacular junction. No wonder I find this business so fascinating. Not one person in
10,000 knows what I'm referring to when I talk about gold closing the year above or
below 838.00! Nor do they know the extreme importance of the Dow level 7470.
And the answer to these two items could have a major impact on the economies of
the world.
2000 -- $273.60
2001 -- $279.00
2002 -- $348.20
2003 -- $416.10
2004 -- $438, 40
2005 -- $518.90
2006 -- $638.00
2007 -- $838.00
2008 -- ?

I also wonder about the closing price for the POG for 2008, and if next week could be interesting on the downside for a few days.

How about the POG at the end of 2009?

I stay away from the miners and stopped out of GLD a couple of days ago because the stop was too tight --a dime below the 10 day sma.

I think I'll sit it out until after Jan. 1 when the volume returns.
