The equation I have been using for gold is that the US cannot allow the dollar to rise too far and as there is a better than 90% inverse correlation with the dollar should put a floor under gold. The last few weeks have sure blown that theory and made me wonder-lol?? I am sure it was a flight to safety given the euro's problems.
