I am hearing reports that if the price of gold keeps going up (as well as other factors), it may cause a dip in the stock markets. Market indicators are becoming bearish and some experts believe this signals a correction in the stock market. What do you think? Of course I mostly go by the philosophy, "When experts agree, do the opposite of what they say", but this scenario has me mildly worried.
