"That's notional amount. The real amount was 30 Trillion
in highly leveraged bilaterial contracts as of December 2008."

Can you explain this to me? Which is it ... 30 trillion or a quadrillion? Does the 1000 trillion indicated by the BIS really tell you anything if 970 trillion are both sides of a trade that cancel each other out?

TIA

However, my prediction is based
on not BDI, but, rather, TED spread, which made a new low
and indicates the financial crisis has passed. Of course,
it signaled that last October, but stocks bottomed in March.

Not gold stocks. They bottomed in October.
