Gold's day will come when this insane speculation comes to an end. That day can't be far off when even Bears are buying Internet Stocks.

<<Will this be the day? >>
Of cource, I don't know, but I doubt it. There are just too many tech / chartists in the market. If we catch a bounce to $295 selling will swoop in and pull us back to $290-294. Then next day after that, we could see anouther $5-12. No matter what we want to believe, the manipulators are very strong and sharp. Almost on their side are the badly beaten gold bugs which will sell into the first & second rallys. Many need a paycheck badly. Next worst enemy may be the cheap jewerly makers, those that use plated stuff vs solid.

Our greatest friends right now are the Y2k / war/ China fears. After that is population growth can take over.

It may start moving today or tomorrow, but I think it will take 3-4 years to achieve full valuations. You know stair steps. I'm hearing resistance around the $340 mark, again near $374.

Truth is, I've always thought the driver of gold would be better times Vs worse. Even with the great new better extraction / mining techniques there are only around 4-5 oz for every man woman & child on earth. I think jewelry and electronics demand alone can drive a higher price. But even though I want to believe the "best", I'm willing to accept any port in a storm, (Y2K).
