Gabriela, thanks for posting, very interesting. Does anyone have a reference of gold price to XAU (the approximate XAU for the price of gold)? I know that other metals are in the index, but there should be some chart or rule of thumb for the gold price relationship IMO.

Options traders should no better but quite often they don't. At market tops option traders are buying calls at record pace, at market bottoms they are buying up puts. Put/call ratios are another diagnostic tool that can be used in a market evaluation model. Yes that was a fine post, I am sure it gave the readers food for thought. Also it is worth saying that the formation of the European central bank, and its subsequent announcement of what amount of gold they will hold to back the EMU will impact gold prices. As things stand right now the uncertainty surrounding this question is having an adverse effect on the industry.
