Yes, copper, gold, silver all up very nicely this morning on news that the Euro nations are taking a step toward European banking union.

This is not a cure-all, but look at the strong rally in the markets. Imagine if the European Union could actually get its act together an agree on Euro bonds, which Angela Merkel is still steadfastly opposing. Then we might see sustained growth.

I just want some breathing room for EE to secure the terms he wants to sell Schaft Creek.
