If I would be you I would start selling gold into the rally - buy something real instead, depending on location like agricultural land or a forest with commercial harvesting rights. When every one buys it is time to sell, no bell will ring at the top or at the bottom - nothing is perfect

and the gold bulls may be quite surprised by how much gold/silver can correct before QE3

This week one disaster du jour was HP whos losses in one day were equal to the rise in POG in the last 2mos while at the same timeframe these Banks have taken as much as 40% hits since the Gold rise ... and Barclays being one which posted before of them having that $9Bil exposure to Spanish debt . Hewlett is now restructuring and totally getting out of the box biz in the "post PC world " while taking a HUGE gamble moving into software with a $10 billion proposed acquisition of U.K. software company "Autonomy". And who's helping to finance this risk gamble but Barclays above but we don’t know for sure Barclays will syndicate the loan to other banks and remains if this pans out and worth the risk to show Barclays is still a big corporate lender , but ight be too little too late for HPQ dealbook.nytimes.com * Right now off the Hewlett website they're offering their Touchpads for a song @ $99 each !

"The Storm is over but it's going to be replaced by a tsunami" bloomberg.com Not sure who Tan Teng Boo is (managing director of Capital Dynamics Asset ) but don't understand why he's holding so much cash trying to pick stocks and not holding Gold , he wouldn't look so worried if he was...and he likes this little Lottery Holdings company Rexlot ? Same Casino over there , lol bloomberg.com ****************************************************************** From Zero Hedge , "Are You Ready For a Crash? (and obviously you are , looks like 1075 next stop , i was thinking 1050/60) zerohedge.com I warned that the rally of the last week was nothing more than a snapback move from oversold conditions. Indeed, these kind of sharp moves are normal for market collapses. As I’ve noted, during the two months of October-December 2008 we had three sharp rallies of 11%, 17%, and 20% respectively. Every time the market rolled over hard soon afterwards We’re seeing the exact same sort of moves today. Indeed, this last snapback rally was about 10%. And the market has rolled since rolled over hard. Whiping out nearly all of the gains post the Fed FOMC meeting in just two days.1,175 didn’t offer any support for the S&P 500. By the looks of it 1125 won’t either, which leaves the next place for a likely bounce at 1,075 or so As I’ve pointed out many times, Crashes follow a well known pattern. That pattern is: 1) The initial drop 2) The snapback 3) The REAL Fireworks ...and This latest collapse is following this perfectly. The bounce is now ending and we’re going into the REAL fireworks.**
